vein. and could not enter upon or into
the premises in dispute, which are
shown to be outside of vertical planes
drawn downward through those lines
The opinion further says: 81 can
reach no other conclusion but that ON
The 3rd day of March, 1906, the date
of location of the Los Gazabo claim, the
Sunnysides Nos. 1, 2 and 3, were valid
existing locations, and that the loca-
ton of the Los Gazabo was based upon
a discovery of mineral within the limits
of the Sunnyside claims, and was there
fore void.
az am satisfied that the defendants
would be estopped to deny the validity
of the patent 50 far as the Sunnyside
claims are concerned, and defendants
do not question its validity with refer
ence to the surface ground within the
boundaries of those claims, nor any
~extralateral rights which accrue to
plaintiff by virtue of the patent to the
Snunyside claims"
In concluding his lengthy opinion
Judge Stevens wrote:
81 cannot find that any of the au-
thorities cited sustain the location OF
the so-called Los Gazabo lode, and |
can reach no other conclusion than that
such location was void, and that the
patent, issued by the land department,
could give such location no legal
vitality
Detch and Carney, with Mcintosh
and Cooke of Tonopah, appeared for
the defendants. r. G. Withers was the
legal representative of the Round

Judge Theron Stevens on Tuesday
handed down his decision in the case
of the Round Mountain Mining com
pany VS.. the Round Mountain Sphinx
Mining company, the Judgment being
that the plaintiff should take nothing
by it's suit and that the defendants
should be REIMBURSED for costs ax-
pended. There was nothing like The
case esin the books" The opinion Is
thus one of the most important handed
down in the state of Nevada in a long
time. The decision relates, in effect,
that the plaintiff company, the Rouni
Mountain Mining company, had located
four claims across, or at right angles
TO. the lode in which the values were
held. and that a claim was afterward
located OVERLAPPING part of the other
claims and at right angles to them.
The right to follow a vein be-
yond the boundaries of a claim is given
only when the claim and the lode run
in the same direction, and then the
right pertains only to the side lines,
and not to the end lines, of the claim.
The decision holds that when a person
or corporation locates a group of claims,
and afterwards finds that it has located
them at right angles to the lode, the
ground cannot be relocated so as TO
give the locators extra-lateral rights
not enjoyed under the first and original
location.
The action was to quiet title to the
Los Gazabo lode, in Jefferson mining
district, Nye county, Nevada, to which
the plaintiff asserted title by virtue
of a patent from the United States, is
sued July goth, 1908, and by virtue of
which the plaintiff claimed the right
to follow ex~tralaterally the Los Gazabo
vein or lode, the apex of which out
crops within the exterior surface
boundaries of the Los Gazabo, and
which on its downward curse departs
from the side dimes of the Los Gazabo,
and into the Gold Leaf claim, owned
by the defendant, Round Mountain
Sphinx Mining company, and also into
the Black Hawk claim.
The defendant, Round Mountain
Sphinx Mining company, is in posses
sion of the Gold Leaf claim, and it
engaged in working it extensively.
The claims owned by the plaintiff,
and for which it holds patent, are the
Sunnysides Nos. ], 2 and 3, and the
Sunnyside Fraction, in addition to the
Los Gazabo. The Sunnyside claims are
contiguous, lying side by side, and run
ming in a northwesterly and south
easterly direction, and located on the
Goth day of February, 1906.
The Los Gazabo, with the exception
of a very small corner of the surface
ground, was located entirely within the
exterior surface boundaries of the
S%unnyside claims, running a little north
of east, and a little south of west, and
was located on the 3rd day of March,
1906, it's discovery monuments, and
discovery work having been located
and done on the same vein or lode as
that of the Sunnyside discovery loea-
ton, the location monuments of the lat
ter claims being located upon, and the
original discovery shafts of the Sunny
side claims being upon the same vein or
lode as that of the Los Gazabo claim.
