Miners and Lode Claims Under Revised Statutes
The Revised Statutes Section 2320 limits a mineral lode claim to 300 feet on each side of the vein and 1500 feet in length while Section 2333 sets vein area within placer patent limits to 25 feet of surface on each side. A placer location does not confer title to or possession of known lodes, and placer patents that omit a vein patent create overlapping limits under the statute.

A located lode claim, against all but the United States, is treated as real property and can support an action to quiet title under laws permitting possessors to settle adverse claims.
