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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A location made in good faith and otherwise conformable to law is not rendered wholly void by reason of such excess; but that the excessive area only is void is well settled. And that such locator is at liberty to select the portion of the claim that he will reject as such excess is also established law.””
