United States and those who have declared
their intention to become such, under reg
ulations prescribed by law, and according
to the local customs or rules of miners, in
the several mining-districts, so far as the
same are applicable and not inconsistent
with the laws of the United States.
SEC. 2. That mining-claims upon veins
or lodes of quartz or other rock in place
bearing gold, silver, cinnabar, lead, tin,
copper, or other valuable deposits hereto
fore located, shall be governed as to length
along the vein or lode by the customs,reg
ulations, and laws in force at the date of
their location. A mining-claim located af
ter the passage of this act, whether located
by one or more persons, may equal, but
shall not exceed, one thousand five hund
red feet in length along the vein or lode ;
but no location of a mining-claim shall be
made until the discovery of the vein or
lode within the limits of the claim located.
No claim shall extend more than three
hundred feet on each side of the middle of
the vein at the surface, nor shall any claim
be limited by any mining regulation to
less than twenty-five feet on each side of
the middle of the vein at the surface, ex
cept where adverse rights existing at the
passage of this act shall render such limi
tation necessary. The end-lines of each
claim shall be parallel to each other.
SEC. 3. That the locators of all mining
locations heretofore made, or which shall
hereafter be made, on any mineral vein,
lode, or ledge, situated on the public do
main, their heirs and assigns, where no
adverse claims exists at the passage of this
act, so long as they comply with the laws
of the United States, and with State, ter
ritorial, and local regulations not in con
flict with said laws of the United States
governing their possessory title, shall
have the exclusive right of possession and
enjoyment of all the surfaceincluded with
in the lines of their locations, and of all
veins, lodes, and ledges throughout their
entire depth, the top or apex of which
lies inside of such surface-lines extended
downward vertically, although such veins,
lodes, or ledges may so far depart from a
perpendicular in their course downward as
to extend outside the vertical side-lines of
said surface locations : Provided, That
their right of possession to such outside
parts of said veins or ledges shall be con
, fined to such portions thereof as lie be
tween vertical planes drawn downward as
aforesaid, through the end-lines of their
locations, so continued in their own di
rection that such planes will intersect such
exterior parts of said veins or ledges :
And provided further, That nothing in
this section shall authorize the locator or
possessor of a vein or lode which extends
in its downward course beyond the verti
cal lines of his claim to enter upon • the
surface of a claim owned or possessed by
another.
SEC. 4. That where a tunnel is run for
the development of a vein or lode, or for
the discovery of mines, the owners of such
tunnel shall haie the right of possession
of all veins or lodes within three thousand
feet from the face of such tunnel on the
line thereof, not previously known to ex
ist, discovered in such tunnel, to the same
extent as if discovered from the surface ;
and locations on the line of such tunnel of
veins or lodes not appearing on the sur
face, made by other parties after the com
mencement of the tunnel, and while the
same is being prosecuted with reasonable
diligence, shall be valid ; but failure to
prosecute the work on the tunnel for six
months shall be considered as an abandon
ment of the right to all undiscovered veins
on the line of said tunnel.
SEc. 5. That the miners of each mining
district may make rules and regulations
not in conflict with the laws of the United
States, or with the laws of the State or
Territory in which the district is situated,

possession of a mining-claim, subject to the
followino• ' requirmeuts : The location

so that its boundaries can be readily traced.
All records of mining-claims hereafter
made shall contain the- namo or names of
the locators, the date of the location, and
such a description.pf the claim or claims
located by reference to some natural object
or permanent monument as will identify

shall be performed or improvements made
during each year. On claims located pri
or to the passage of this act, ten dollars'
worth of labor shall be performed or im
provements made each year for each one
hundred feet in length along the vein un
til a patent shall have been issued there•
for ; but where such claims are held in
common such expenditure may be made
upon any one claim ; and upon a failure
to comply with these conditions, the claim
or mine upon which such failure occurred

a notice that such application has been
made, for the period of sixty-days, in a
newspaper to be by him designated as pub

during said period of publication.
SEC. 7. That where an adverse claim
shall be filed during the period of publica
tion, it shall be upon oath of the person or
persons making the same, and shall show
the nature, boundaries, and extent of such
adverse claim, and all proceedings, except
the publication of notice and making and
filing of the affidavit thereof, shall be stay
ed until the controversy shall have been
settled or decided by a court of competent
jurisdiction, or the adverse claim waived.

ant, within thirty days after filing his
claim, to commence proceedings in a court
of competent jurisdiction, to determine
the question of the right of possession, and
prosecute the same with reasonable dili
gence to final judgment; and a failure EC
to do shall be a waiver of his adverse
claim. After such judgment shall have
been rendered, the party entitled to the
possession of the claim, or any portion
thereof, may, withoutgiving further notice,
file a certified copy of the judgment-roll
with the register of the land office, togeth

mining claim to any person whatever.
SEC. 8. That the description of vein or
lode claims, upon surveyed lands, shall de
signate the location of the claim with re
ference to the lines of the public surveys,
but need not conform therewith; but
where a patent shall be issued as aforesaid
for claims upon unsurvoyed lands, the sur
veyor general, in extendinr , the surveys,

where adverse rights are not affected there
by, patents may issue in pursuance of the
provisions of this act ; and all patents for
mining claims heretofore issued under the
act of July twenty-sixth, eighteen hundred
and sixty-six, shall convey all the rights
and privileges conferred by this . act where
no adverse rights exist at the time of the
passage of this act.
SEc. 10. That the act entitled "An act
to amend an act granting the right of way
to ditch and canal owners over the public
lands, and for other purposes," approved
July ninth, eighteen hundred and seventy,
shall be and remain in full force, except
as to the proceedings to obtain a patent,
which shall be similar to the proceedings
prescribed by sections six and seven of this
act for obtaining patents to vein or lode
claims; but where said placer-claims shall
be upon surveyed lands, and conform to
legal subdivisions, no further survey or
plat shall be required, and all placer mi
ning claims hereafter located shall conform
as near as practicable with the United
States system of public land surveys and
the rectangular subdivisions of such sur
veys, and no such location shall include
more than twenty acres for each individual

act granting the right of way to ditch and
canal owners over the public lands, and for
other purposes," approved July ninth,

five dollars per acre for such vein or lode
claim, or any placer claim, or any placer
claim not embracing any vein or lode

dollars and fifty cents per acre, together
with all costs of proceedings; and where
a vein or lode, such as is described in the
second section of this act, is known to ex
ist within the boundaries of a placer-claim,
an application for a patent for such placer
claim which does not include an applica
tion for the vein or lode claim shall . be
construed as a conclusive declaration that
the claimant of the placer-claim has no
right of possession of the vein or lode
claim; but where the existence of a vein
or lode in a placer-claim is not known, a
patent for the placer-claim shall convey all
valuable mineral and other deposits within

regard to any property in controversy at
the time of the passage of this act, or of
an act entitled "An act granting the right
of way to ditch and canal owners over the
public lands, and for other purposes," ap

tained within the space of intersection :
Provided, however, That the subsequent
location shall have the right of way
through said space of intersection for the
purposes of the convenient working of the
mine : And provided also, That where two
or more veins unite, the oldest or prior
location shall take the vein below the point
of union, including all the space of inter
section.
SEC. 15. That where non-mineral land
not contiguous to the vein or lode is used
or occupied by the proprietor of such vein
or lode for mining or milling purposes,

embraced and included in an application
for a patent for such vein or lode, and the
same may be patented therewith, subject
to the same preliminary requirements as
to survey and notice as are applicable un
der this act to veins or lodes : Provided,
