Show INTER-MOUNTAI- OF RECENT MINING DECISIONS. Prepared for the Mining Review by George Westervelt, attorney-at-laSalt Lake City, Utah: Mining Claims, Location, Description, Terms in Notice. The facts in the case were as follows: One N. discovered a mineral-bearin- g lode and posted on the spot a notice, claiming the right to locate 1500 feet on the lode and 300 feet on each side thereof, naming it the Red Jacket lode, and also claiming the right to have twenty days in which to complete his boundary monuments. This last was done in conformity with a supposed local custom, although the existence of such custom was not proved on the trial of the case. He afterwards went to the premises to mark the boundaries, but was prevented by sickness, but within twenty days he agreed with three other persons to give them half the claim if they would complete the location, which they did by setting up monuments at the corners on the lines thereof, and posting a location notice, describing the same, in which the claim was called the Red Jacket Gold, Silver and Nickel Quartz Mining claim. Held, that the location made by N.s associates was a completion of the claim made by N., notwithstanding the addition of descriptive terms to the name of the claim in the notice posted by them. Newbill vs. Thurston, G5 Cal. 419, disaproved. Held, further, that the posting of the notice upon a single stake of the claim by N. was not a sufficient location of the claim, and marking of the boundaries thereof. Doe vs. Waterloo Mining Co., 70 Fed. Rep. 455 (U. S. Circuit Court .of Appeals, Ninth District, California, Nov. ABSTRACT w, 8, 1895.) Same. Transfer of Rights. In above case it was also held that N. had a right to transfer by parole an interest in his right to locate his claim to his associates, and his doing so and permitting them to complete the location was not an abandonment of such right. Ibid. Same. Reasonable time to complete location. of a mineral The discoverer vein should have a reasonable time after his discovery in which to complete his the location, of uptime depending length on the character of the ground, the means of marking it, and the ability to ascertain the strike and course of the vein, and (in the case above cited) twenty days was not an unreasonable time, the vein being situated on a rough mountain side, the dip not exposed and 1000 feet of the vein covered. Ibid. Title of Claimant. Act of March 3, 1881. The provision in the act of March 3, 1881 (1 Supp. Rev. St., p. 324), that if in any action brought pursuant to Rev. St. section 2326, title shall not be established in either party, a verdict shall be found accordingly, does not require that when title is established in one party, the court shall determine such patent, as against partys right to a Ibid. the United States.
