General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Syllabus
The word "conveyance," as used in § 98 of the Act of June 6, 1900, c. 786, 31 Stat. 321, 505, is not to be narrowly construed, but includes leases, as well as transfers in fee.
One, who, under a lease of a mine, enters on the property and expends money in developing it, gives a valuable consideration for the lease and is protected by the recording act.
A deed altered after acknowledgment and having only one witness is not entitled to registration under the recording act of June 6, 1900, and has no effect against persons without actual notice.
172 F. 73, reversed.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
