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.

Swanson v. Sears No. 217 Argued March 15, 1912 Decided April 1, 1912 224 U.S. 180
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF IDAHO
Syllabus
A location and discovery on land withdrawn quoad hoc from the public domain by a valid and subsisting mining claim is absolutely void for the purpose of founding a contradictory right; nor does it become valid by reason of the subsequent failure of the right existing when it was filed.
17 Idaho 321 affirmed.
The facts, which involve the construction of the mining law of the United States, are stated in the opinion.
