PHE MINING Law.
In commenting upon the decision of the jury in the case of Hyman vs. Wheeler, recently tried in .
the United States Circuit Court at
Denver, the San Francisco Call
says: The result of this case will
afford new reasons for a change in
* the mining law under the act of
. 1872, which is embodied in seétion
} of the Revised Statutes. The
‘ofthe apex of a ‘‘minoral
vein, lode or ledge” can follow it
down whenever it goes into territory of which the surface is owned
by others. This has been the rule
on the Comstock, and quite re~ cently, whenrumors were spread
of new discoveries in the unexplored territory on the east flank
of the mountains, it was said that
ifthe rumors were confirmed they
would inure to the benefit not of
the owners of the unexplored territory but to those of the Ophir,
Con. Virginia and Best & Beleher,
which would claim to hold the
apex of the new mineral.
When the discovery of silver at
“Leadville attracted attention to
that camp-several years ago and
every foot of possible mineral territory was located, owners of loca.
tions resisted the claims of apexowners to follow their veins. The
cases went into court, and a final
decision was only rendered three
months ago in the Supreme Court
of the United States, which held
_ that the mineral deposits of Leadville were not veins, lodes or
ledges, within the meaning of the
law of 1872, but were horizontal
_ deposits between a layer of per:
phyry and a layer of lime. It is} Proranrry always seems foolish
