A lawsuit between people over who possesses a mining claim, or over damage to that claim, is not affected by the fact that the United States holds the underlying title to the land. Federal courts must instead decide these cases using the law of possession.
No lawsuit between people, in any U.S. court, over who has the right to possess a mining claim — or over damage done to that possessory right — is affected by the fact that the United States holds the paramount title to the land where the mine sits. Instead, every such case must be decided using the law of possession.

No possessory action between persons, in any court of the United States, for the recovery of any mining title, or for damages to any such title, shall be affected by the fact that the paramount title to the land in which such mines lie is in the United States; but each case shall be adjudged by the law of possession.
