Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the American Law Relating to Mines and Mineral Lands Within the Public Land States and Territories and Governing the Acquisition and Enjoyment of Mining Rights in Lands of the Public Domain, Vol. 2 of 3 We have also attempted to illustrate' the nature and character of the appropriation under laws (other than those exclusively applicable to the acquisition of min eral lands) which operate as a segregation of a given tract from the body of public land, and inhibit its acquisition, although mineral in character, under the mining laws. What constitutes such an appropriation of mineral lands under these last-named laws as will remove them from the category of public lands and inhibit their acquisition by other mining claimants can be determined only after an analysis of the law regulating the acquisition of title to such lands. After we Shall have outlined the methods provided by law for such acquisition, we shall endeavor to explain fully the nature and extent of the title so acquired, the tenure by which it is held, the property rights flowing therefrom, and the conditions under which such rights may be lost or extinguished. The general statement may here be properly made, however, that a perfected, valid appropriation of public mineral lands, under the mining laws, operates as a withdrawal of the tract from the body of the public domain, and so long as such appropriation remains valid and sub sistin g the land covered thereby is deemed private property.'
