THE LAW OF FINDING.

The law of finding, says a writer. i,
this: The finder has clear title agains,
the world, except the owner. The pro.
prietor of coach, or railroad car, or a
ship, has no right to demand the property
or premises. Such proprietors may make
regulations in regard to lost property,
which will bind their employees, but they
cannot bind the public. The law of find
ing was Declared by the Kings bench 100
years ago, in a case in which the facts
were these:
A person found wallet containing
sum of money on shop floor. He hand.
ed the wallet and contents to the shop.
keeper to be returned to the owner After
three years, during which the owner did
not return for his property, the finder de-
manded the wallet and the money from
the shopkeeper. The latter refused to
deliver them, on the ground that they
were found on his premises. The former
then sued the shopkeeper, and it was
held, as above set forth, that, against all
the world, but the owner, the title of the
finder is perfect. And the finder has been
held to stand in the place of the owner,
10 that he was permitted to prevail in an
'ction against person who found an
Irticle which the plaintiff had originally
ound, but subsequently lost. The police
lave no special rights in regard to articles
ost unless those rights are conferred by
tatute. Receivers of articles stolen are
rustees for the owner or finder. They
ave no power in the absence of special
tatute to keep an article against the
nder any more than the finder has to re.
ain an article against the owner

IMPORTANT TO MINERS.

Recently a decision of the Secretar,
OF the Interior, relating to mining loca
cations made on legal holidays, was al
iuded to in nearly all the newspapers o.
the coast, and the general impression
was that the relocation of mining claim
on the LIST day of January, was declared
illegal. Now the Salt Lake Chronicle
corrects this impression and has the fol.
lowing on the subject;
1.-THE decision in question was made
by Hon. H. NJ. Teller, Secretary of the
Interior, and is dated on December %
1854. 1t relates only to claims made in
Colorado under the statutes of that State.
which makes certain days, among which
IS that of January LIST, HOLIDAYS, and
provides that in case any of said HOLIDAYS
fall upon Sunday, then the Monday
following shall be considered as the holi.
day. In the case upon which the decision
was given it appears that the parties
originally owning the mine were at work |
upon 1T on the 3lst day of December
Saturday, 1881. That they left their
tools on the premises on that night, in.
tending to resume work on the next
Monday morning, January I'd, which
under the Colorado statute, was legal
holiday. That possession was obtained
Dy the relocators after midnight, Decem.
Der 3lst. 1881, and prior to 1870 o'clock
!: NJ, January 2, 1882, on Sunday or on
donday, which was a holiday, by stealth,
the temporary absence Of the appli. |
ants, and in violence of the laws of Col.
RADIO, and the owners of the mine were
reverted from continuing their work by /
he threatening language and conduct Of 4
he relocators, also in violation of the
.atutes. 1t was therefore a possession h
legally acquire and did not give the C
rotestant the right to relocate the prem. a
es. ,"
Thus it will be perceived that the de. O
sion onl y applies to locations in Colo. 8
'do under the statutes of that State.
Id to the peculiar circumstances of a a
eculiar claim. That parties rghtfullv o
Tnlng a mine shall have the privilege of i,
'senting themselves over Sunday or t,
gal holiday, while engaged in doing as.
ssment work, is about the sum and C,
distance of the decision and that is all d
ere is of it.
