Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wilson's Mining Laws: United States, Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah; Annotated, With Forms and Corporation Laws of Arizona; Revised to July 1, 1909 All mineral lands are open to occupation and purchase by any citizen, or he Who has declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States. A mining claim located since May 10, 1872, shall not exceed fifteen hundred feet in length along the vein or lode and three hundred feet on each side of the middle of the vein at the sur face. The locator of a mining claim has the exclusive right of pos session and enjoyment of all of the surface of his claim and of all veins, lodes or ledges throughout their entire depth, 'the top or apex of which lies inside his surface lines extended vertically downwards. The owner of a mining claim may follow his ledge should its dip carry him beyond his side lines extended ver tically down, so long as he does not trespass on the surface of another claim; but in no case can he go beyond his end lines, which must in all cases be parallel. No lode claim can be recorded until a vein or lode has been discovered thereon. Where two claims cross each other the prior location is eu titled to all the ore or mineral within the space of intersection, but the subsequent location has a right of way through the space of intersection for the working of the mine, and Where t'wo or more veins unite the oldest location takes the vein below the point of union, including all the space of intersection. A patent can be obtained on a mining claim after $500 has been expended thereon for development or improvement, upon its being surveyed by a United States mineral surveyor, and by the payment of $5 per acre for the land to the United States Government.
