"Provides a fresh look at a largely bygone era from the perspective gained from almost a century of scientific advances in the study of mineral deposits."—Erich U. Petersen, University of Utah "From bullets to barristers, this book is a fascinating account of apex rights and U.S. mining laws. It is a technically sound summary of mining law, history, and ore-forming processes. This book is a must read for anyone who has explored the mining districts in northern Utah and wondered what tales the old mines could tell."—M.K. McCarter, University of Utah"An extremely interesting study."—Utah Historical Quarterly
