(Statutes at Large\, Treaties\, and Proclamations\, of the United States of America\, vol. XVII\, chap. 152\, also Revised Statutes of the United States\, chap. 6\, title 32).

23951,Iron County (Utah). County Recorder,Mining deeds,1899-1964.,Chronological by date.,"The Iron County recorder used these books to record mining deeds\, mineral certificates and patents. Mining deeds transfer ownership or interest in mining claims from one party to another.

Mineral certificates and patents transfer final legal title from the federal government. Final ownership of any mining claim involved more than discovery\, possession and recording\, but also required that the claimant work the ground and perform labor or otherwise pay for the claim. (see Statutes at Large\, Treaties\, and Proclamations\, of the United States of America\, vol. XVII\, chap. 152\, also Revised statutes of the United States\, chap. 6\, title 32).

XVII\, chap. 152)\, mineral deposits in the public domain were free and open to exploration\, and locators of the same had exclusive right of possession.

Only one year after the organization of the Stateline District\, the Utah Legislature enacted a mining law which transferred the responsibility of recording mining claims from the mining district recorder to the county recorder (Laws of Utah\, 1897\, chapter 36\, ""Mining Claims"").

During the nineteenth century federal policy supported transferring land in the public domain into private ownership. Individuals could purchase this land outright or they could obtain it in exchange for some kind of labor or development under such programs as the Homestead Act\, the Timber Culture Act or the Desert Lands Act. Federal mining laws were also set up to encourage the development of mineral resources by offering ownership to individuals who discovered and developed the same.

The patents in these books are primarily for land\, but also include mining rights.
