When the outcrop of a vein passes through one end line and one side line of a location, the locator may draw in the other end line to the w, point of intersection of the vein with the side line, and abandon what lies beyond; and he will then have the same extra lateral rights as if the claim had been so located in the first instance. Even if the locator does not actually so draw in his end line and abandon what lies beyond, a new end line will be considered as drawTn at that point, and will have the same extra-laterrights as if the claim had been so located in the first instance.

The owrner of a location having extra lateral rights cannot follow the dip within the side lines of a prior location, which has the vein passing through both of its side lines, so that they are to be considered as end lines.
