At though Hnle 7 of prnotieo pro

no renvoi why the commissioner of

It is now well soiled that after the
location of n valid placer mining
claim min good faith, hy an associa
tion of persons, each locator can
ceoiivo his undivided interest to
whomsoever he chooses, and the en-
, tirVi title to such claim may thereby
become vested in one individual. Cit
ing IS7 Federal Reporter. IlSo.
it ijt not the policy of the Depart
ment to near protests in mining
cases while an ndversu suit is jend
ing and being litigated in tho local
courts. If the court, in that pro
ceeding1; should coucludde. to eon
tinnU Ihe trial until the protest could
be' heard ahd determined, the depart
ment would then bo dUiosed to dnler
a hc'nntig thereon.
The term "vein or lode" does not
mean merely a ivpjeni tissure or
mutant vein, hut rather, any partly
defined rone or hell or mineral bear
ing rock in place. To constitute a
valuable discovery upon a claim for
which patent is .sought there must he
aeUmlly and physically cxoscd
within the limits thereof, a vein or
mineral bearing lode in place, os-scs-sing
in itself a. present or pros
jM'ctive value for mining puqioses;
ahd before iiaelnt enn be properly
Hiled or allowed thereon, thnt fact
must be shown iu the manner above
slated.
