CTS of vein, lode or kdge, which has not been entered for patent, to cohtribute hfs proportion of the ex. pendlturss necessary to hold She claim or claims SO held in ownership in common, the co-owners who have performed the labor or made the i'm. provements, as required by law, may, :, at the expiration of the year, give such delinquent co-owner perss snal notice in writing, or notice by publi- cation in the newsl aper published nearest the claim, for at least once : week for 90 days; and if, upon the expiration of 90 days after such no tice in writing, or upon the expirs. of 180 days after the first news paper publication of notice, the delinquent shall have failed to con. tribute his proportion to meet the expenditures or improvements, his interests in the claim passes by law to his co-owners who have made the expenditures or Improvements.
