United States Court of Appeals For the Ninth Circuit . e at which the end lines shall crossthe general course of the vein in order that theextralateral right given by the statute may . And that the extralateral right conferredby the statute may and does exist without regardto the angle at which end lines cross the generalcourse of the vein has been held both by the Su-preme Court and this Court. (Citing cases.) Last Chance M. Co. vs. Bunker Hill & Sulli-van M. & C. Co., 131 Fed., 579, 590. A retrospect of the numerous cases decided by thisCourt involving the properties of the Bunker Hill &Sullivan M. & C. Co., The Empire State Idaho andLast Chance Companies in the same district in whichthe cases at bar arose, exhibits the application of thisrule, and the manner in which the vein was carvedup and awarded to the respective companies, regard-less of the angles made by the end lines with theapex. We reproduce as Figure 10 a stereogram, whichexhibits the result of the application of the rule asannounced by this Figure 10. 24 It will of course be observed that all of the loca-tions had lines which crossed the apex at some angle. What counsel for Appellant in this case seems tocontend for may be illustrated by reference to Fig-ure lo. Assume that the Bunker Hill vein to havebeen terminated on its course by a fault plane repre-sented by the right hand face of the figure. A locationmight be made along the fault line so as to give to thelines crossing the fault a direction so that in followingalong the plane of the crossing lines a course sub-stantially downward would be followed. But it wouldnot be downward from the apex. We can imaginewhat would happen to locators on the true apex ofthe vein if locations were permitted on the side edgeand such locations should be awarded extralateralrights. As was pointed out by Professor Lawson in his tes-timony (Transcript, No. 2390, p. 564), it is entirelypossible to go downward from the bottom of the Judge of th
