Court Resolves Quartz
Placer Conflict Question
The Circuit Court of Appeals
recently handed down a decis
ion of peculiar interest to Alas
kans, inasmuch as it resolves
the much discussed question of
priority of right in cases where
boith quartz and placer locat
ions are made covering the
same ground. The decision was
given in the case of Grant v»
Campbell and Tobin, on ap
peal from the district court at
Fairbanks. Briefly stated the
facts of the case were as fol-,
lows: Grant located the Hill- j
side placer claim in the Kan
tishna country. Thereafter one
Quigley, without objection
from Grant, discovered a ledge
within the boundaries of the
j claim and located it, thereby
; carving out that portion which,
I ’ontn’ncd the ledge, so far as
known. Afterward Campbell
and Tobin entered upon the
placer claim, sunk a hole and
discovered a ledge, without
the knowledge or consent of
tne owner. Afterward Grant
located over his placer claim
the same ledge.
The two main questions in
volved were: first, did Grant
have a valid placer claim?
Second, did the defendants
have the right to prospect the
claim without Grant’s consent,
in order to find the quartz?
The decision of the Appellate
Court holds that when Camp
bell and Tobin entered upon
the placer claim and prospect
ed in order to find the ledge
they were trespassers and as
such could not initiate any title
thereon by location. On the oth
er hand the court held that
Quigley’s location was valid
and reduced the size of the
placer and eliminated tjiere
from the known mineral vein.
