2.—Protection for extended period.

If any person shall be desirous of obtaining protection for a claim for a longer period than seven days, he shall give notice in writing to the Warden, and to the four parties working or occupying claims nearest to that for which protection is sought, who shall sign such notice, expressing their assent thereto or dissent therefrom. Such notice shall be in the form hereinafter prescribed; and a copy thereof shall be posted and maintained by the applicant on the claim for three clear days, at the expiration whereof, if no valid objection be entered, the Warden may issue a Certificate of Registration to the applicant, and such Certificate may be for the period named in the application, or for any less time.
