Mr. Justice Scott

delivered the opinion of the Court:

The demandant is herself the owner in fee of the undivided one-third part of the land in which dower is sought, and the defendant Anna 0. Henke is the owner of the other two-thirds. A portion of these lands contain lead mines, all of which were discovered and opened after the right of dower attached.
