IMPORTANT TO MINING LOCA.
TORS.

The decision Of the Supreme Court, rendered
In the case OF the Golden Fleece Gold and Sill
yer Mining Comuany vs. the Cable Consolidated
Gold and Silver Mining Company, contains the
opinion Of the court upon question Of para
mount importance to all those who have made
or may make locations of mining grounds In
this Stale. It has been heretofore taken as
granted that locator claiming fifteen hundred
feet on and along ledge would be entitled to
the full amount Of his claim, Notwithstanding
the fact that, upon development, the ledge
might be found to cross instead of running In
the same direction as In surface ground. In
other words, the ledge has been considered the
principal thing located, and the surface mere
incident, and that the power to follow the ledge
in the direction which work showed 1t to run
was the right which a discoverer obtained
under his location Such however. is not the
construction of the law as given by the major.
ity of the court. 1t IL held that proper con-
struction Of the act of Congress confines the
location to the portion of the ledge covered by
the surface boundaries, SO that II the ledge
cross the surface, the locator will be limited to
the number Of feet actually within the location;
that is H. in claim coo feet wide and 1900 feet
long, II the ledge should cross the claim at
right angles. the claimant will take only 600
feet. ine.sad Of 800 feet. Thisview of the law
necessitates the locator, desiring to acquire
right to 1900 feet. to ascertain, before making
u location, the exact direction Of the ledge. and
to have his surface boundaries include the ledge
for the whole number of feet; otherwise the
amount of ground not included will DO lost to
him. Justice Hawley dissents from the opinion,
but the foregoing will probably be the judg-
ment of the court, as declared by the majority,
upon any case coming before 1t involving de-
termination Of the question. A similar point
was involved in the case decided yesterday by
the Circuit Court. in the case between the Eu.
reka and the Richmond comprehensive
Enterprise.
