The New Idaho Mining Law.

The last Legislature of Idaho passed a
new mining law, which is, in brief, the
general law with some changes to suit the
mining conditions in that State. Mining
claims may extend to 300 feet on each side
of the middle of the vein or lode. The
locator must locate by posting on the
surface plain and permanent sign or
notice containing the name of the locator,
the name of the claim, length and width
and date when the location is made, and
by marking within ten days thereafter the
surface boundary of the claim. Any claim
so located is not unless abandoned, sub
ject to location by any other person for
sixty days thereafter. Surface boundaries
must be marked by substantial posts or
drees not less than four inches square or in
liza meter. Within sixty days after such
location the locator must sink shaft upon
the lode to the depth of at least ten feet.
Notice OF location must be filed within
ninety days thereafter with the County
Recorder or his deputy. An affidavit that
the prescribed work has been done must be
filed. County Recorders must appoint
deputies. Only citizens of the United
States or those who have declared their in
tention to be such can locate mining
claim.

Tunnel Rights.

The opinion recently handed down by
Judge Sanborn of the United States Circuit
Court CT Appeals in the case of the Rico
Aspen Consolidated Mining Company
against the Enterprise Mining Company,
both of Rico, Colo, is of very general in
terest in all the mining States and Terri
tories. The suits between the two COM
panies were commenced in 1892, and in
volved the rights derived through mining
tunnels. Very few suits have arisen in
the mining States concerning mining tun-
mel rights. Such decision is of great in
terest to the mining community.
In 1879 Charles Dewman of Durango
located the Group tunnel site, and for sew
eral years prosecuted the excavation of the
tunnel. While he was continuing the tun.
mel, and before any veins had been cut in
it, the Vestal lode mining claim was To-
Gated by A. Z. Arens, the later basing his
location upon the discovery of vein at
the surface running parallel with the
Group tunnel and about 200 feet from the
! tunnel line. 1t will be observed that the
Vestal claim did not cross the line of the
| tunnel, and it will be observed also that
any veins which might be discovered in
the Group tunnel would necessarily cross
the Vestal lode claim. A patent for the
Vestal claim was applied for and United
States patent was issued to the owners
No claim adverse to this application was
made by Mr.. Newman, the owner of the
Group tunnel
In 1890 the Group tunnel was conveyed
| to the Enterprise Mining Company, and in
the spring of 1892 vein carrying very rich
ore was cut in the tunnel. and by drifting
along this vein it was found to cross the
patented Vestal location, which at that
time had passed into the possession of the
Rico-Aspen Company. While the Enter
prise Company was busily engaged in ex-
tracing the ore from the Jumbo No 2 vein.
within the lines of the Vestal claim, the
Rico-Aspen Company was also busily en-
gagged in running drift from the shaft on
its Vestal claim so as to reach the Jumbo
No. 2. Naturally conflict occurred be-
tween the miners of the two companies.
A suit was instituted by the Rico-Aspen
Company and an injunction obtained pre-
venting the Enterprise Company from con-
tinuing the removal of ore. A counter in

Uncommon soIicitude for His Wife.

Thomas Stott, whose will disposing of an
estate valued at $1,000 was admitted to pro-
bate in this city on Tuesday, devised it all
to his wife and imposed the following re-
striction: The only condition imposed is
that my beloved wife, Maria Stott, shall
not remarry after my decease, but remain
forever after my widow Should this in
junction be disobeyed, that is, should she
remarry, this, my last will and testament,
will become null and void in so far as her
interest is concerned, and | charge my
executor or executors with the task of see
ing that the benefits desire her to enioy
from the proceeds of my estate on condi-
ton OF her remaining my widow shall be
equally divided, share and share alike,
among they, my children, living at the
time she may remarry.
In the following paragraph the testator
wrote: "The object of my life is that after
my decease | sincerely hope that nothing
may occur that will harass or make the
remainder of the days of my beloved wife,
Maria Stott, anything but days of pleasure
and comfort hence the imposition of the
foregoing named condition. ! am impelled
to throw this safeguard around her through
a deep sense of the many good qualities of
my beloved wife after long and happy
married life. in which | have invariably
proved her to be my best counselor and
| faithful helpmeet, and / am consequently
animated with most sincere desire that
after have passed away she may be en-
abled to spend the remainder OF her DAYS
in ease and quietness. Having full con-
fidence in her wise discretion and sterling
good sense that she will make proper use
OF the benefits this instrument is intended
to confer upon her, l hereby appoint as
executor Thomas B. Shore to see that these,
my intentions, are carried into effect. p

land on which the claim is situated is
listed for patent by the railroad company
as many have already found out to their
cost. The time is propitious for the miners
of California to make a common fight
through this association and its active
special committee, and abundant funds
should be provided to carry on the contest.
The railroad company processes that it de-
sires to take up no mineral lands, but under
the system pursued it does take up such
land unless separate protests are made on
each lot listed for patent. Apathy or care
lessness on the part of the miners is to the
advantage of the railroads, and once they
have patent on the lands the miners
must buy from them. While the California
Miners Association can look after the gen.
eral features of this contest and warn the
miners of their danger, the individual
claim-owner has the responsibility of the
patent proceedings on his own claim
Vast areas of the mineral domain have
already passed into the hands OF the rail-
road companies in this and other States,
and 1t rests with the miners themselves
whether or not more follows The
Government does not officially recognize
any tract as mineral in character unless
miners thereon have applied for or received
patent, or a mineral protest is made
when others seek to patent the land. 1t
has no means of knowing its mineral
character, in other words, unless the
miners give the information, for it is to the
interest of other parties to have it con-
sidered agricultural.
The committee on protection of mineral
lands of the California Miners Association
is calling the attention of the Land De-
partment of the Government to the mineral
character of certain lands listed for patents
to the railroads, and has prepared extern
sive and accurate maps for this purpose.
1t is the duty of the mining community to
assist in this work in every way possible
that the mineral lands of this State NAV
be kept for those for whom they are in
tended-the prospector and the miner.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-03-29

junction was also obtained by the Enter
prise Company preventing the Rico-Aspen
Company from removing ore from the
vein.
The hearing in the Circuit Court before
Judge Hailett resulted in a decree to the
effect that the Rico-Aspen Company was
entitled to all that portion of the Jumbo
No. vein lying within the Vestal loca-
ton, and the deduction of the court was
based very largely upon the effect of the
Territorial statute enacted in 1861, which
in effect limited the rights of tunnel
of the tunnel. The Enterprise Company
appealed from this decree to the United
States Court of Appeals.
The importance of the case was recog
nized by the Court of Appeals, and extra
time was given to the parties to the suit
for argument, and the various questions
involved in the appeal were fully discussed.
The opinion of the court is comprehensive
and elaborate, and affords the first de-
cision by the appellate court of many i'm
portant questions involved in the sections
of the Congressional acts relating to tun
mel rights.
The court holds that the owner of
tunnel claim is under no obligation to adj
verse an application for patent for lode
mining claim based upon surface loca-
ton, unless the vein has been discovered
in the tunnel crossing the surface location.
1t also holds that the tunnel owner,
upon discovering blind vein crossing the
tunnel, is entitled to the possession of the
vein for 1900 feet in one direction or the
other from the tunnel, or may, at his cleo
ton, locate the claim partially upon one
side and partially upon the other side of
the tunnel.
The court also holds that the Colorado
Territorial legislation of 1861, limiting the
location of a blind vein discovered in a
tunnel to $50 feet on each side of the tun-
mel, is repugnant to the Congressional
mining act of 1872, and is, therefore, of no
force.
This decision is especially important for
the reason that no appeal lies to the United
States Supreme Court.
