Publisher's Synopsis
""The Extralateral Right: Shall It Be Abolished?"" is a book written by William Edward Colby in 1917. The book discusses the controversial practice of the extralateral right in mining law, which allows miners to extract minerals that extend beyond the boundaries of their mining claim. Colby argues that the extralateral right is unfair and should be abolished, as it gives an unfair advantage to larger mining companies and deprives smaller miners of their rightful share of resources. The author provides historical context and legal analysis to support his argument, and offers alternative solutions to ensure fair distribution of mineral resources. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in mining law and the history of resource extraction in the United States.From The California Law Review, July, 1916.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
