The fact that the locator of a min
ing claim is not yet twenty-one years
of age does not render a location in
valid. II the minor is living with his
or her parents we believe that the
claim cannot be disposed of without
IL, however, the minor is doing busi- |
mess for himself or herself and in his |
or her name then such minor can le-
gally transfer any or all rights to the I
location proprly made. The law makes
no distinction on account of sex in To-
eating mineral land.
A miner may follow a lode down
under the side lines of his claim, pro-
viding it has an apex on his ground |
and can be traced through the end
ore TO work in or walls to trace; but /
he may not gopher around in another
mans claim searching for lead that
he has lost or never had. This is the
effect of an opinion handed down by
Judge Gilbert in the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals on the 18th
instant in response to the appeal OF
the ST Louis Mining and Milling Co.
of Montana and William Mayer from
the decree of the Circuit Court in
favor of the Montana Mining Com
pany, Limited.
David Leishman and N. A. Hum
mel. attorneys, will spend several
days here taking advantage of the
State Library known as one of the
best on the Coast, to examine into
the merits of the claims of j. IL. B.
Harris to the Silver Peak mines. Ca
pitalists are anxious to purchase these
claims, which promise to produce
but owing to the fact that
Mr.. Harris rights have never yet
been tested upon their merits, would
be buyers, in some instances, have
hesitated until the long litigation has
been all concluded. The Silver Peak
mines compose one OF the very richest 4
mining properties ia Nevada-just I
such as our State must .eiy upon as |
her principal resource. Miners have
examined me property ana came away
amazed at the extent of it. They
say that reduction plant of any rea-
sonabe capacity could grind steadily
for nearly a century on the ore IN
