Page Six As indicated above, there is a pegmatite dike on Pilot ~'2 and that does suffice as rock in place to support that lode claim. If that dike extends under any of the other claims it cannot be the basis for any of those claims, as there was no discovery of same on any of the claims, and there was no evidence that the pegmatite dike did extend outside the exposed portion found by the experts. The Master is aware that numerous cases hold that the purpose of the mining laws is to encourage development of public domain by bona fide miners and to encourage development of the mineral resources of the country. I find that Plaintiff and the other locators lacked any desire to develop the property and the mineral resources found on the property. It seems more likely that plaintiff seeks to appropriate the lode mining claims for casual rock picking, for recreation purposes and to enjoy the aesthetic values of the property. Since this t4.aster finds that there was a vein or lode on Pilot #2 the question must be considered as to whether that would justify reliance on locating the other. 3 claims as lodes. The answer to that question is no. In the first place, there ar-e no lodes on the other claims. ' In the second place, it is a fortunate coincidence for plaintiff that there is an outrcropping on Pilot #2 which would support a lode mining claim. Plaintiff does not identify that as the vein found on Pilot #2, and the claim was not laid out along the vein as required. By asserting there are 2 veins running P7orth and South, and 2 running Past and West, there may have been a fraud upon the government. However, there is a lode on Pilot #2 and some mineral has been removed therefrom. The s;%ecific questions addressed to this Master have been answered. In order to comply strictly with the Order of Court dated November 9, 1982 I make the following recommended findings of fact: ' 1. The topaz source in the pit is placer material. There is no evidence that that source is a lode or a vein. The mineral in the pit area is placer in nature, having been transported~'to its present location in the pit bV natural means. 2. There is no lode within the Pilot #1, the' Mukunda, or the Mukunda #2 which would support anv of those 3 claims. There is a lode within Pilot ~:2 ~~hich will sur-port that lode claim. There is no evidence that that is the lode discovered in 1958, but nevertheless, it is there and it is rock in place, and there is other evidence that the lode would contain valuable ore which would cause the prudent man to expend money on the claim.
