Excerpt from International Mining Law Practically all the raw material in this volume was collected primarily for the purpose of enabling the author to form an intelligent opinion as to whether the American Federal Mining Law was in need of revision, and if so, in what respects. To accomplish this two kinds of information on the subject appeared to be necessary. First, a knowledge of the mining laws of other countries, for the purpose of being able to compare them with our own and to note the points of difference; and second, the statistics of production in the principal metal-mining regions of the world, so as to be in a position to judge of the comparative worth of each law by the results obtained under it. As the investigation advanced it was found desirable as well as interesting to take note of the salient features of the history of the industry in each principal field. This naturally led to an inquiry into ancient and repealed mining legislation and customs, the better to understand those now in force; which, in its turn, called for a study of the beginnings, rise and growth of the occupation of mining. And now, in putting together the results obtained, the steps taken are naturally reversed in the act of publication. It is hoped that the arrangement adopted will prove a suitable one from the point of view of the reader. Mining law is a broad subject. In the digests of laws given, with a view to confining the investigation within reasonable limits, the attempt has been made to give only those parts of each which referred to metal mining, omitting wherever possible those having to do with coal, iron, and the non-metallic substances. Naturally the statistical tables have been prepared on the same plan. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Handbook on American Mining Law The title American Mining Law has been chosen because of its simplicity and because the law chiefly dealt with, while it affects only a comparatively small part of the United States and its possessions, is so national in its character as deservedly to be spoken of by all writers on the subject as American Mining Law. In the notes the cases which for one reason or another are sug gested as best for students to consult are printed in large type. As is true of other Hornbooks, an exhaustive citation of cases has not been attempted, but the endeavor has been to give a comprehensive, well proportioned, and up-to-date treatment of the subject.

Excerpt from Mining Laws Federal and State, 1913 What Evidence of Possession. Where such person or association, they and their grantors, have held and worked their claims for a period equal to the time prescribed by the statute of limitations for mining claims of the state or territory where the same may be situ ated, evidence of such possession and working of.the claims for such period shall be sufficient to establish a right to a patent thereto under this chapter, in the absence of any adverse claim; but nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to impair any lien which may have attached in any way whatever to any mining claim or property thereto attached prior to the issuance of a patent.

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Mines and Minerals Since the publication, in the year 1867, of the Third Edition of the Author's Treatise, mining industry has, upon the whole, and notwithstanding occasional variations, enormously increased e and the law, also, of mines and minerals, from having been more frequently before the Courts and from other causes, has received a corresponding development. The principles of that law are now more definitely settled, and its details are much more accurately ascertained or ascertainable, than they or either of them were at the time the Author wrote. In the present or Fourth Edition, the Editor has endeavoured, while founding upon the old edition, to express these more definite principles, and to arrange these more accurately ascertainable details of mining law in a form at once convenient and logical, embodying them in the Author's Treatise in their appropriate places, and generally carrying forward that Treatise to the stage at which mining law has now arrived. For the better attainment of the objects above ex pressed, the Editor, although averse to taking liberties with either the method or the matter of his Author, has found himself compelled to take, and has also taken in fact, very considerable liberties with both. He has greatly altered the method; and he has greatly altered the matter also. Firstly, as regards alterations of method, - the Editor has made the following alterations, viz.

Excerpt from Mining, Mineral and Geological Law Although necessarily less elaborate in treatment than the two-volume treatises on mining law already mentioned, I venture to hope that the present work may be of some assistance to the members of the legal profession over and above so much of the above mentioned features as may be used by them. It is the only treatise written from the double standpoint of science and law. Barringer and Adams's book, now out of print, contains a chapter or two on geology, but this is very elementary and does not treat ore deposits, the part of the science of most interest to the mining lawyer. The scientific and legal portions were evidently each written by one of the joint authors, and neither has any perceptible influence on the other. Snyder states in his preface that as originally prepared his work contained a geological preface, but this was not published.
