Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

Sub-sub-series consists of placer mining claims in the Northwest Territories. Each mining ledger contains an entry for individual claims registered in the district to which that book applies. According to departmental policy the entries were to contain all the grants issued and all subsequent transactions affecting the title of the claims. Separate books were kept as required under the Quartz and Placer Acts. The ledgers record entries for each mining claim on numbered pages. The name of the claim and all pertinent information about that claim such as description, a column for instrument number, date recorded and the person to whom the claim was granted or assigned is included. In some instances more than one claim is recorded on a single page.
