On the other hand, if 1,320 ft. square were adoptedand the claim might be staked out with one side par-allel to the strike (where there is an outcrop) and asclose thereto as possible, then the rest of the claim onthe dip side would give ownership to a satisfactory depthof vein even without supplementary locations in directionof the dip. Consequently T am strongly inclined to believe thatclaims 1,320 ft. square located according to the judg-. \ 40 Acre a Parallel to Strike
