   10,000 square feet (equal to 100 feet by 100 feet) for
   each holder of a miner's right, but more than 100,000
   square feet shall be held together as one claim.

100 FEET x 100 FEET.

Double Ground (Class 3).
2. The Warden may in his discretion grant claims
in alluvial ground not exceeding twice the ordinary

shall be made until after application and the posting
of notices in manner provided by regulations. And
no such claim shall exceed 200,000 square feet.

Extended Claims (Classes 1 and 3).
3. When any extraordinary expenditure of capital

depth not exceeding 1,000 yards, but not more than
1,000 feet frontage shall be held as one claim; and the
holders of any such claim shall be required within a
reasonable time after the discovery of gold within the
