3. The date of the location.
4. The length and width of the claim in feet, and the distance in feet from the location monument to each end of the claim.
5. The general course of the claim.
6. The locality of the claim with reference to some natural object or permanent monument whereby the claim can be identified and, if known to the locator, the identification of the section, township and range in which the notice of location of the claim is posted.
