Clear Creek Leasing, Mining & Milling Co. v. Comstock Gold-Silver Mining & Milling Co.
Clear Creek Leasing, Mining & Milling Co. v. Comstock Gold-Silver Mining & Milling Co.
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
In May, 1898, The Comstock Gold-Silver Mining and Milling Company leased certain property situated in the Idaho Mining District to Edward C. Eddie.
By the agreements of the lease the lessee is given an option to purchase the property at any time during the term of the lease. The lease also contains the usual condition that upon failure of the lessee to keep and fulfill the covenants and agreements of the lease it may be forfeited by the lessor. Upon the determination of the issue contained in the stipulation in favor of the defendant, no money judgment in excess of twenty-five hundred dollars was rendered, nor did the judgment determine the title to a freehold; and as no constitutional question is involved, it follows that this court has no jurisdiction, and the cause is remanded to the court of appeals.
Remanded.
