zHs AAE Am srEvsasArrH CASE


= Involves . Question Of vital Interest "a
Every Mine Owner In the Camp.
The time Of the District Court was mainly
occupied Wednesday in the trial 81 the case
OF Silas F. King and Others against the
Amy and Silversmith Consolidated Mining
Company. A strong array Of counsel was
present ON both sides. but with the excep-
ton OF them and the lew witnesses under
examination the court room was deserted.
And yet the principle involved in the case
10 one that most nearly affects the interests
OF this camp OF any question that has come
before the courts Of the District. It is the
Keynote to the extent OF the rights OF the
discoverer OF q lode. Upon the decision as
finally determined in this case, the point
must be decided for the miners Of Montana
Tor all time to como where the Government
steps In n says thus far shalt thou 20
ana no further. 1t is q question whether
the old law that has been generally ad.
mitted and enforced in the mining regions
OF the West shall continue to be regarded or
whether a new ruling shall supersede it.
The position OF the parties is that King
and Others are owners Of the Nopconsoli-
uduca miue winch ID q IrActlOn adjoining
tho northwest corner of the Amy and Sill
versmith. The owners OF the latter mine
maintain that the holders of the apex OF a
lead have the right to follow the dip
OF the lode down from q point where
their lode goes out OF their side line, beyond
their side-line boundaries in direction par
allel with their end line. The contention Of
the plaintiffs is that the owners
OF the Amy and Silver
smith are stopped whenever in following
the dip OF their lode they come to their side
Line. The theory for which the Amy and
Silyersmith company contend has been the
universal rule OF the camp. A doubt has
been thrown upon the correctness OF this
theory, principally by the decision of a
court in a similar case in Colorado, where
the deposits are blanket and differ from
those III this section, that are true assure
veins.
The case has been submitted to Judge De
Wolf without a jury on an agreed state
ment OF facts, saw as 10 one or two points,
on which the plaintiffs introduced their tes-
timony yesterday and closed their case.
To-day the defendants will present their
testimony. The decision Of the court in
this case will be looked forward to with IN
terest by miners everywhere.
