mill or machine used in mining, per
forms work or labor in any capacity
requiring manual labor on, in or about
such dredge, steam shovel, mill or ma
chine, either in the alteration or repair
thereof, or in the operation or working
thereof, while the same is used in or
j about a mine or mining claim, as a
means of mining or the extracting of
the minerals contained therein, shall
have a lien on such dredge, steam
shovel, mill or machine to secure the
payment of the amount due for such
work or labor. And every person, who

dust or other minerals contained
therein and extracted therefrom, to
secure the amount due the said laborer
in the production of the same. Such
lien shall attach to the dump or mass
of minerals, mineral bearing sands,

whether the same be deposited on the
ground In a mass or dumped into
bunkers or hoppers, or placed in sluice
boxes at the mine, and the gold, gold

sary and convenient working, mining
operation and development of such
mine or mining claim and shall be
entitled to a lien accordingly.

•

mining claim, and the dredge, steam
shovel, mill or machine used in mining,
and the dump or mass of mineral bear
ing sands, gravels, earth, ore, rock, and
gold or gold dust, should the facts re
lative to the labor warrant the same;

ity therefor, then any other class or
kind which may be lienable under this
Act, may be concurrently concomitant
ly claimed and subjected thereto.
