Syllabus

<p>Mechanic's Lien—Misdescription of Property in Claim.—Where there-is no description in the notice of lien sufficient to identify the mining claim upon which the work was actually done with reasonable certainty,to the exclusion of other premises, the notice of lien is insufficient.</p> <p>Id.—Notice of Lien not Amendable—Particular Description Controlling.—The notice of lien is not an instrument susceptible of reformation, and the monuments and lines by which the property is said in the notice to be particularly described cannot be expunged from the notice, but must be read as part of it, and are of the essence of the description, and must control it.</p>
