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 101 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A secondary question is whether, if the Powell survey included this strip, the present owners of that survey are estopped from claiming the strip, and therefore the royalty interest, as against the Durfee Mineral Company. * * * “The master concluded, and we agree with him, that as a whole the? evidence shows that the Durfee Company and its predecessors purchased with full knowledge of the record title * * *. In this situation the asserted estoppel must fail. Only where conduct or statements are calculated to mislead a party and are acted upon by him in good faith to his prejudice can he invoke them as a basis of such an es-toppel. And if they relate to the title of real property ‘where the condition of the title is known to both parties, or both have the same means of ascertaining the truth, there can be no estoppel.’” (Italics in all quotations ours.)”
