One of the earliest United States Supreme Court decisions discussing the legal authorities and the Congressional recognition of the Mining Districts under the U.S. Mining law was St. Louis Smelting Co. v. Kemp, 104 U.S. 636 (1881), where the court stated: "The rules and regulations originally established in California have in their general features been adopted throughout all the mining regions of the United States. They were so wisely framed and were so just and fair in their operation that they have not to any great extent been interfered with by legislation, either state or national. In the first mining statute, passed July 9, 1866, they received the recognition and sanction of Congress, as they had previously the legislative and judicial approval of the States and Territories in which mines of gold and silver were found."
