provide that the lateral extent OF

200 feet on each si1c Of the middle Of
tho vein at the sur face aud that no
such surfacc.righss shall be limited by
any mining regulations to less than %
feet on each side Of tho middle Of the
vciu at tho surface, except, where
sdversc rights cxiA,ing on May 10 1872
may render such limit alton necessary:
the end.lines of such claims to be in
all cases parallel 10 each other. Said
