¶1delivered the opinion of the court.
¶2The defendants have appealed from a final judgment entered on the 5th day if April, 1902, which, among other things, perpetually enjoins them from entering, exploring or mining in part of a certain lode claim, and from commencing any action against the plaintiffs to protect and maintain their alleged title to the vein and ores therein, or to recover such ores, *493-They move tliau tlie judgment, in tlie particulars mentioned» be modified, and its effect suspended, pending appeal. They invoke the provision of Section 23 of the Code of Civil Procedure, authorizing the supreme court to continue in force an injunction order made by a district court or judge,'or grant an injunction order and writ, pending an appeal from an order refusing or dissolving an injunction, and also Bule XXI of this court, prescribing the procedure for obtaining such order pending appeal. Neither the section nor the rule has reference to staying the operation or effect of injunction orders. Moreover, each has xo do only with interlocutory orders of the district court or judge, not with final-judgments. Neither does Section 1122, or Subdivision 3 of Section 1723, of the- Code of Civil Procedure, as amended in 1899 by House Bill No. 124 (Laws of 1899, pp. 146, 147), have to do with final judgments, nor touch the matter of staying the operation of or suspending prohibitory injunction^, or proceedings thereunder. Except in so far as they had been ousted by the plaintiffs, the defendants were in possession at the time the judgment was rendered, and presumably so remain. If the injunction is mandatory, proceedings under it are stayed by the appeal. (Code of Civil Procedure, Sec. 1733.) Wa are not advised of any statute or other law- vesting power in the supreme court to grant, upon such an application as the one here made, an order modifying or /acating a perpetual injunction pending appeal from a judgment embracing it.
¶3Further complaint is made by the defendants that In the particulars referred to the judgment is, upon its face, void, because it purports to determine a matter which was palpably without the issues fi amed; but this is not the occasion for considering it. We shall not, upon this application, decide the case upon the merits.
¶4For these reasons, and upon the authority of Maloney v. King, 26 Montana Reports, 487 (68 Pac. 1012), just decided, the motion is denied.
¶5Denied.
