hermit, having little to do with the
outside world, and making his living

conversation with strangers. Even

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1896-03-20
Mining Litig ation,

Uiifad States Circuit Judge 3 ,t'y
las decided that the North Star
Mining Company. in FLOWING its
Own ledge, had IA perfecr right to take
valuable ore from beneath the surface
OF the Carson City Gold and Silver
Mining Cnmpany's adjoining claim,
and denied the suit of the latter for
SS50,O0O alleged to be value of the ore
thus removed.
The present mining laws weredrawn
up by lawyers to foster litigation in
stead Of mining. People who own
valuable mines hardly know where
they stand until they have turned the
mina we to the attorneys. If the
aw laid down the simple rule hat the
side and end lines went straig hit
down to the center Of the earth and
that owners could only work inside
their lines, 80 per cen of the mining
litigations that encumbers the courts
and depletes the pockets Of the miners
would be done away with and the
miserable gang Of ~"experts' who viii
p~eriure themselves to their ears for a
fee, would have to grab a pick or
delve in lower levels or 90 to the poor
house.
