From 280 U.S. 306 - Wilbur v. United States ex rel. Krushnic · 1930Most cited · 242 citing opinions

Resumption of work by the owner, unlike a relocation by him, is an act not in derogation, but in affirmance, of the original location; and thereby the claim is maintained no less than it is by performance of the annual assessment labor. Such resumption does not restore a lost estate; it preserves an existing estate.
