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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““I told Mr. Carroll and Mr. Dougherty on the evening of the 12th that they could go to work and commence sinking a shaft immediately, and that I would leave in the morning and go to Fairbanks Creek, and that it would not take me to exceed three days, to get back; that I would be back on the third day if nothing- intervened — nothing interfered with me — which they agreed to do. X had a similar conversation with them on the morning of the 13th, when leaving. That was the understanding, that they would go up in the morning and commence work on this shaft on this ground; and I left on that morning.””
