The Extralateral Right in the Mining Law

Mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to a work on Public Land Law history in this important re-issue of Colby's "The Extralateral Right: Will it be Abolished?". Unavailable since 1916, this publication offers rare insights into the 1872 General Mining Act and in particular, on Apex Law or what are commonly known as Extralateral Rights on mining claims. The only book of its kind. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface.
