Mr. Chief Justice Waite, with whom concurred Mr. Justice Bradley,
dissenting.
I cannot agree to this judgment. In my opinion the end lines of a mining location are to be projected parallel to each other and crosswise of the general course of the vein within the surface limits of the location, and whenever the top or apex of the vein is found within the surface lines extended vertically downwards, the vein may be followed outside of the vertical side lines. The end lines are not necessarily those which are marked on the map as such, but they may be projected at the extreme points where the apex leaves the location as marked on the surface.
Mr. Justice Gray did not hear the argument nor take any part in the decision of .this case.
