§ 30-1-114 — Assessment work for placer claims; effect of failure to perform

Upon failure of the owners to do or have done the assessment
work required within the time above stated, such claim or claims
upon which such work has not been completed, shall thereafter be
open to relocation on or after the first day of July of any year
after such labor or improvements should have been done, in the
same manner and on the same terms as if no location thereof had
ever been made; provided, that the original locators, their
heirs, assigns or legal representatives have not resumed work
upon such claim or claims after failure, and before any
subsequent location has been made.
