Under the decision a mining claim
Is no longer a mining claim within the
meaning OF the statute of exemptions
after il has been passed to a patent but
Il becomes property. The decision is
Of far-reaching importance. affecting
most II not all the valuable mining
properties Of the state. The aggregate
value Of these properties is very large
and II it is added to the assessment

The case In which this decision has
been rendered grew out Of the assess
