SECRETARY TELLER has rendered a
decision respecting the right of mill.owners
and residents upon mineral lands Of the
United States to cut wood and timber from
such lands within the lines Of mining claims
regularly located and possessed under local
laws and customs and the laws Of the United
States governing the location Of such claims.
The Secretary holds that the locatOrs OF
mining claims, so long as they comply with
the law governing their possession, are in
vested by Congress with the exclusive right
Of possession and enjoyment of all the sur.
face included within the lines Of their loca-
tion. This right amounts to property ca
pable Of being enjoyed or transferred, sub.
iect to all ordinary rules governing the en-
joyment Of property entirely separable and
separate from the fee of the land. 1t may
consequently be protected in the courts, and
| 1t is the duty of the possessor to care for his
own, if trespass be attempted by stranger.
Having armed the grantor with complete
| grant Of possession, he alone Is concerned
| for its protection and may undoubtedly
maintain to the end, but be can no longer.
after availing himself of the exclusive right,
ask the Government to bring action for what
is no trespass except against such individual
right Of possession.
