Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mining Reports, Vol. 1: A Series Containing the Cases on the Law of Mines, Found in the American and English Reports, Arranged Alphabetically by Subjects, With Notes and References
This and the ensuing volumes of the set are intended to pre sent uot merely the leading, but the bulk or mass of the cases of importance, and not of mere local interest, bearing on the subject-matter of mines or mining, decided in the appellate courts of the several States and in the Federal courts. Also the leading irrigation cases and a large portion of the English mining decisions. Cases reported in NM prim or inferior State courts have been in general rejected, as have been most decisions by divided benches.
The majority of the American decisions obviously come from the Pacific slepe and those States of the East which con tain the most noted mineral deposits, especially Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Georgia; but the series contains cases from every State in the Union where a mining case could be found, from the mining Terri tories, and often from reports and magazines totally inaccessi ble except in the largest public libraries.
Salines and oil wells are included as strictly mining matters.
