Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, Th'it all valuable mineral deposits in lands belong ing to the United States, both surveyed and unsurveyed, are hereby declared to be free and open to exploration and purchase, and the lands in which they are found to occupation and purchase, by citizens of the 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.

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 shall be open to relocation in the same manner as if no location of the same had ever been made : Providel, That the ori ginal locators, their heirs, assigns, er legal representatives, have not resumed work upon the claim after such failure and be fore such location. Upon the failure of any one of several co-owners to contribute his proportion of the expenditures requir ed by this act, the co-owners who have performed the labor or made the improve ments may, at the expiration of the year, give such delinquent co-owners personal notice in writing or notice by publication in the newspaper published nearest the claim, for at least once a week for ninety days, and if at the expiration of ninety days after such notice in writing or by publication such delinquent should fail or refuse to contribute his proportion to com ply with this act, his interest in the claim shall become the property of his co-owners who have made the required expenditures.
