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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If at any time the locator of any mining claim heretofore or hereafter located, or his assigns, shall apprehend that his original certificate was de fective, erroneous, or that the requirements of the law had not been complied' with before filing; or shall he desirous of changing his surface boundaries or of taking in any part of an overlapping claim which has been abandoned; 'or in case the original certificate was made prior to the passage of this law, and he shall he desirous of securing the benefits of this act, such locator or his assigns may file an additional certificate, subject to the provisions of this act: provided, that such relocation does not interfere with the existing rights of others at the time of such relocation, and no such relocation or the record thereof shall preclude the claimant or claimants from proving any such titles as he or they may have held under previous location.” Cutting’s Comp. Laws. 1900, § 213.”
