ranch houses, mountains, pueblos
and any other neighboring points.
The court engineer, Fregoso, then
showed that points of Identification
are not guessed at but are geogra-
phically accurate points located by
the engineer who surveys the
claim. The Chenoweth claim,
called the JOse6pa, had been
thus located at least two months
before the Haas claim was taken
up partly covering the ground de-
lineated by the Josefna mine.
The reference points are usually
chosen by the prospector or miner
from surrounding singular or
prominent points, names OF which
he gets from the residents OF the
immediate vicinity, distances and
directions being roughly approx
mated by himself. These points
are consequently only temporary
and are only used in a formal way
roughly to locate the claim ntilsuch
time as the surveyor can accurately
determine its bounds and tie it to
fixed points so it can be identified
for all time.
Fregoso drafted a plan of the
mines of the vicinity in question
showing where each would be
located by their reference points
alone which demonstrated that
they would have as many locations
as they had reference points. This
plan showed the Haas mine to be
one of the most badly located mines
of this region.
He further showed that by TAX
ing the points of Identification and
tie points it would be impossible
to locate either claim in any other
position than that claimed by each
party to the suit as being their
ground and as the Chenoweth
mine was located four and one half
months prior to the Haas mine the
latter could have absolutely moth
ing on which to base a defense,
thus sustaining Chenoweth's con-
tention.

mining district, Sonora Mexico, by

A committee of three surveyors
one appointed by the plaintiff, a
second by the defendants, and a
third by the court, were delegated
to determine the location of the
claims and decide whether or not
one invaded the other.
1t seems that H. K. Chenoweth
on January LIST, 1907, located ten
pertenencas of mineral ground fully
complying with the law and received
in due course title for the same.
Some four and one half months
thereafter Haas and his associate
DR.. f. Carpenter of Cananea de-
nounced practically the same
ground, but it seems Haas gave
Chenoweth letter agreeing to res
pect Chenoweth's prior rights to all
ground that might be covered by
both claims.

court, Engineer Fregoso of Hermo-
