                                  TITLE  47
                               MINES AND MINING
                                  CHAPTER 10
                                MINING TUNNELS
    47-1002.  OWNER OF INTERSECTED CLAIM MAY INSPECT TUNNEL. Each tunnel or
crosscut may be driven and worked for the purpose of drainage and for the
purpose of reaching and working mining ground of the tunnel owner beyond the
intersected claim. The owner or owners of any vein or any claim or claims so
intersected, or his duly authorized agent, shall have the right to enter such
tunnel upon application to the owner or owners or person in charge of said
tunnel, without resorting to any process of law, for the purpose of making a
survey and inspecting such vein or veins as may be crossed within the boundary
lines of such intersected claim, and if the owner or owners of such tunnel
shall, by bulkheading, damming back, or in any manner prevent the inspection
or survey herein provided for, or if such owner or owners shall in any manner
prevent the natural drainage of water from such intersected claim or claims
without the consent of the owner or owners thereof, it shall work a forfeiture
of all rights granted under the preceding section.
