General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Oklahoma v. Texas No. 20, Original Partial decree entered June 5, 1922 259 U.S. 565
I EQUITY
Syllabus
Red River is not a navigable stream in Oklahoma; the state acquired no title to the part of the river bed within her borders by virtue of her admission into the Union; her right, title and interest in that part are only such as are incidental to her ownership of lands on the northerly bank.
The federal mining laws have never applied to the parts of the river bed lying within and south of the Indian pasture reserve formerly called the Big Pasture.
Certain petitions of intervention claiming under lease from Oklahoma, or based on locations made under the mining laws, are dismissed.
