38-02-08. What location in location certificate construed to contain

The location as described in the location certificate of any lode claim must be construed to

include all surface ground within the surface lines thereof, and all lodes and ledges throughout

their entire depth the top or apex of which lies inside of such lines extended vertically, with such

parts of all lodes or ledges as continue by dip beyond the side lines of the claim. Such location

may not include any portion of such lodes or ledges beyond the end lines of the claim, or the

end lines continued, whether by dip or otherwise, nor beyond the side lines in any manner other

than by the dip of the lode.
