Bowen v. Sil-Flo Corporation

MOLLOY, Judge.

This is an appeal from a judgment rendered in a declaratory judgment and quiet title action as to unpatented mining claims. The action is, in part, a suit to determine an adverse claim filed in a patent application proceeding as to two placer mining claims. See 30 U.S.C.A. §§ 29-32 inclusive.

This case has previously been before our Supreme Court on the question of whether the Maricopa County Superior Court had jurisdiction of the action, to which an affirmative answer was given. Sil-Flo Corporation v. Bowen, 98 Ariz. 77, 402 P.2d 22 (1965).
