-HEAD-

Sec. 501. Mining claims located between July 31, 1939, and January

1, 1953

-STATUTE-

(a) Force and effect

Subject to the provisions of this chapter and to any valid

intervening rights acquired under laws of the United States, any

mining claim located under the mining laws of the United States

subsequent to July 31, 1939, and prior to January 1, 1953, on lands

of the United States which were, at the time of such location -

(1) included in a permit or lease issued under the mineral

leasing laws; or

(2) covered by an application or offer for a permit or lease

which had been filed under the mineral leasing laws; or

(3) known to be valuable for minerals subject to disposition

under the mineral leasing laws;

shall be effective to the same extent as if such mining claim had

been located on lands which were at the time of such location

subject to location under the mining laws of the United States:

Provided, however, That in order to obtain the benefits of this

chapter, the owner of any such mining claim shall, not later than

one hundred and twenty days after August 12, 1953, post on such

claim in the manner required for posting notice of location of

mining claims and file for record in the office where the notice or

certificate of location of such claim is of record an amended

notice of location of such claim, stating that such notice is filed

pursuant to the provisions of this chapter and for the purpose of

obtaining the benefits thereof.

(b) Labor and improvement

Labor performed or improvements made upon or for the benefit of

such mining claims after the original location thereof shall be

recognized as applicable thereto for all purposes to the same

extent as labor performed and improvements made upon or for the

benefit of mining claims which are not affected by this chapter.

(c) Withdrawal or reservation

Any withdrawal or reservation made after the original location of

such mining claim affecting land covered by such mining claim is

modified and amended so that the effect thereof upon such mining

claim shall be the same as if such mining claim had been located

upon lands of the United States, which, subsequent to July 31,

1939, and prior to the date of such withdrawal, were subject to

location under the mining laws of the United States.
