the surface of the plaintiffs claim gave way
and fell upon the defendants ground. This
portion contained a small amount of gold
bearing gravel, part of which the defend
ant washed away. Some time after the
defendant ceased to work its ground, near
the plaintiffs line. Large portions of the
surface of his claim caved and fell upon ad.
Joining ground of defendant where it still
remains. All of the caving was caused by the
defendants mining. which was, however. not
claimed to have been performed in careless
manner, The question presented by the
case, on appeal to the Supreme Court, was
whether the doctrine of lateral support ap-
piled to case like the present one. The
Court holds that it does not, because the very
purpose of locating the ground, on the part OF
both parties, was to tear it down and wash it
away: and its only value consisted in the
gold that it contained To apply the doc
trine contended for by the appellant to ground
of this character, the Court believed would.
therefore. to a great extent defeat the very
purpose for which the location was made.
The defendant would be liable for the gold
taken from the gravel that fell from the
plaintiffs claim, but for the fact that its value
was less than the necessary cost of extracting
it. The Judgment and order of the lower
Court was therefore affirmed.
