MINE LOCATIONS.
An Interesting Decision by the Su.
preme Court of California.

AN l~ntefeStInS DecASlOm ny the SUI
preme Court of California.
The Downieville Tribune of July "a
contains the following digest Of a late de-
cision by the Supreme Court of California
in regard to mine locations. The Court,
in its decision filed june 8, in the case of
Horswell vs.. Ruiz, held as follows: The
instructions given at the request of the
defendants, in some instances, contradict
those which we're given at the request Of
the plaintiffs. For example, one instruc-
ton, given at plaintiffs request. reads:
"You are instructed that if q party goes
upon the mineral lands of the United
States, and works thereon, without COM
plying with the requirements of any law,
either Federal or district. or local Gus
toms, and relies exclusively on his posses
sion or work, and a second party locates
peaceably q mining claim covering the
same ground, and in all respects complies
with the requirements of the Federal and
district mining rules, laws and regulations,
then suce second party is entitled to the
possession of such mineral ground as
against the party in prior possession, who
is, from the sime said second party has
perfected his location and complied with
the law, q transgressor."
At the request of the defendants the
following instruction to the jury was
given: The Jury are instructed that, in
dependent OF soy mining laws or customs,
q party who FIRST takes possession Of an
unclaimed mineral lode for mining pur-
poses. may hold the same by actual work
and occupation, as against ell the world,
except the paramount proprietors, pro-
vided that he neither claims nor holds in
excess Of that to which he would be en-
titled by virtue OF q compliance with the
mining laws.
The Court decides that "the law Ia
correctly stated in the first one given"
and cited as authorities: Morenhaut va.
Wilson, 50 CAL, 1888; Chapman va. Tow
Long, / Sowy, %; Mccormick VS..
varnes, 2 Utah 355; Belk vs.. Meagher,
104, U. s., 284. and Hopkins va. Noyes,
4 Mont, $50.
The same Court, and in the same case,
cited the decision in the Eureka case, 1
Sowy, 800; in which Judge Field, de-
livering the opinion, said:
"The provision OF the statutes of 1872.
requiring the lines OF each claim TO be
parallel with each other, is merely direc.
tory. and no consequence Is attached to a
deviation from its direction"
From the above decision ON these con.
instructions, miners will observe
that mere naked possession, work and oc-
location laws, will not hold as
subsequent l~ocators of the same
ground who d. comply with those laws.
