Encroachment dispute over ore rights reaches appeals court
In San Francisco on May 17 a U S court of appeals reversed a lower court ruling in a matter involving the Star Mining Company and the Federal Mining Company. The case centered on ownership of ore worth around 500000 dollars from the Grouse and Apex mines. Leading experts testified that a Eureka vein discovery date was disputed, but the court found Grouse patent priority did not settle discovery priority.
