The Montana court heldthat a conveyance of the claim A, (referring to the cutbelow). without any special mention of extra-lateral rights, wouldcarry the right to follow the vein under B if it wentthere. For exactly the same reason this court held that aconveyance of B by the common owner of the two tracts,would not preclude following the vein under B by theowner of A. In refusing to endorse the conclusionreached by this court, the Supreme Court of the UnitedStates refused to accept or to apply the doctrine of M. Co. vs. B. & B. Co. It seems probable that that learned court was influencedvery laigely by applying the doctrine that a deed of miningproperty ordinarily carries extra-lateral riglits withoutspecific mention of them to tlie extra-lateral right to followthe vein from the remainder of the St. Louis claim intothe Compromise Strij). Referring to the cut above, it would seem as thcmgh thec(mrt was of the view that a conveyance of B wouldt-arry with it tlie <xtra-1ateral riglit wliich tlie commonowner of A
