WASHINGTON, Oct. 22d.-The
Commissioner of the General Land
Office. in d Gliding the matter of
the Hope Mining Company's APP
plicatiOn for a patent for the PotUsi
lode, announces the following new
and important ruling In regard to
the width OF all lode claims. Re-
ferring 10 section 1920, revised
statutes, which provides that no
claim shall extend more than three
hundred feet on each side of the
vein at the surface. He says, when
the vein outciops at the surface
there can be no question as To the
point from which the lateral meas
urement must begin, but when the
d scovery shaft develops the vein
at some distance below the surface
| aud the locator does not determine
by any further prospecting that the
nearest actual surface point Is else
where aud the fall does not
otherwise appear, 1 am of opinion
that the point Of the vein so dis
covered must be assumed to be the
middle of the vein and the lateral
measurement must be calculated
therefrotu. The law is mandatory
and coEtemplates that but three
hundred feet shall be taken on
ance with the law necestitates the
fixing OF the point from which
| these measurements begin. L
| think the rule above indicated is
the only one practicable. In this
| case the width Of the claim on one
side being more than three hun
dred feet from the discovery
opening, the plot and field notes
are returned to the Surveyor Gen.
eral for correction. All other OBJ
\ jections and protests against the
company's application are, how
ever, overruled.
