can achieve a popular success Is a
question. The theater going public Of

suits are upon the same claim or cause
OF action
After dealing with authorities the
court says: THE contention OF the
plaintiff is that in the former suit II
sought to quiet the title to lot So alone,
mat II now seeks to quiet It's title 10
certain adjoining claims entirely dis
tsnct from lot 3S; and hence, that the
'ormer decree has no further effect as
a bar than II the two suits related to
any two distinct parcels Of land. The
argument, | think, is fallacious. The
owner OF mining claim owns not only
all lying vertically beneath his sur
face which has not been reserved or
carved out of his claim and granted
to others, but also, he may own vein
which, on its dip, widely departs FROM
lais claim as delimited upon the sur
face. The vein on its dip beyond the
bounding planes OF his claim extended
downward vertically is, by his owner
ship, severed from the estate of the
owners Of the strata surrounding 1t. IL
Is a distinct entity, and capable OF be-
ing described without reference TO the
claim In which its apex lies The for
me- suit was to determine the title 60 a

determine the title TO lot 3S.
IF the plaintiff erred In the theory
II advanced In the former suit. II must
lear the result OF that error. II the
error was that Of the court. It must

AS the sworn answer TO the plea al
leges that the plaintiff has acquired
no right in the vein'in controversy since
the bringing OF the former suit. aud as
this was not on the hearing controvert-
ed by the plaintiff, II follows that the
exceptions OF the plaintiff to the an.
swer OF the Utah corporation must be

corporation allowed. the temporary in
