Syllabus

<p>A deed of a mining claim by a qualified locator to an alien operates as a transfer of the claim to the grantee, subject to question in regard to his citizenship by the government only.</p> <p>If, in a contest concerning a mining claim, under Rev. Stat. § 2326, one party, who is an alien at the outset, becomes a citizen during the pro- ■ ceedings and before judgment, his disability under Rev. Stat. § 2319 to take title is thereby removed.</p>
