Annual report of the State Mineralogist for the year ending ... . lel with AB. and a perpendicular to CG (laid outas directed above) will be parallel to MO.

It often happens that lodes of ore cross each other, and as onelocation can only cover one lode, it follows that the cross-lode is opento location. DIAGRAM B Shows the lode AB as located, with its proper amount of surface the lode CD is found crossing the former lode at makes a conflict in favor of the first location AB. as regards sur-face ground, but the law provides that the lode CD shall have a strip ofsurface twenty-five feet wide on each side of the lode through to theother claim from F to E. at which points the surface may widen againto its location width. 894 REPORT OF THE STATE Diagram B. This law holds good so long as mine No. 1 is not patented; but if receives patent before the discovery of lode No. 2, of course it holds allmineral within its boundaries. Should No. 2 acquire no rights until No. 1 had been patented, then,of course, No. 2 abandons all claim to the ground in conflict, and holdsits own ground in two separate tracts.
