Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The party of the second part covenants with the first party to commence operations for the said mining purposes within one year from the execution of this lease or thereafter pay the party of the first part twenty-five dollars per annum until work is commenced, to be paid annually, and after work is commenced it is to be prosecuted with due diligence until well shall be completed.... The failure of the party of the second part to make any one of the payments when due will render this lease null and void, not binding on either party.”
