Arrangement
For records created from 1901 to 1938, arrangement is by type of claim thereunder chronological..
In Mining Book X, the county recorder entered all mining records chronologically. Beginning in Mining Book X 2, he began to use a preprinted form for notices of location for lode claims. The first half of the book contains these preprinted forms arranged chronologically. The second half of the book contains all notices of location or related records which did not fit the structure of the form, also chronologically entered. These documents include such things as amendments to notices of location, but in particular they are notices of location for placer claims. In like manner, the recorder divided Mining Books X 4 and X 5. In Book X 4 he created sections for preprinted notices of lode location, preprinted notices for petroleum placer claims and then everything else. He divided Book X 5 into sections for preprinted notices for lode claims and everything else.
Beginning with Mining Book X 6, the recorder began keeping the documents in separate books. Books X 6, X 7 and X 10 contain preprinted forms for notices of location for petroleum placer claims. Books X 8, X 12, X 14 and X 18 contain mixed documents and Books X 11, X 15 and X 19 contain preprinted forms for lode location notices. Beginning with X 21 and in all books thereafter, all notices of location are together and have been entered chronologically.
