New Member, Questions regarding living on your mining claim Options

[MastiffLovers]

Hi everyone,

I am so excited to become a member and I had a question with regards to a mining claim that I have and living on it. I want to live in a yurt or build a small cabin on my mining claim. It is patented claim with deed. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I have heard that I can build whatever I want to live in because it is federal jurisdiction. Is this true? Also I heard only inspection would be to make sure I have something for waste like composting toilet? I plan to mine but on my own. I do not have a mining company. I just know nothing about it which is why I am asking.

Self composting toilets are mobile and easy to install anywhere if you want to clean out your patties every so often.
Most counties I've read about have minimum size requirements before a permit is needed, say 80 sq ft, (10x8 or thereabouts), which most outhouses and small sheds fall under. I'd look into that...may be an easy solution.
My son had a self composting toilet in an RV for awhile and it was a stinking nightmare to deal with and they are expensive.
