would res ign from the company 1t it's next

PATENT YOUR MINES.

/ The importance of pateuting the mines cannot be too frequently i'm pressed on the mining community. Every man who finds a ledge looks forward with bright hopes to its fu- tnre, and is assured that success will reward his labors. When it does it seems too bad to have a defective titie prevent a saie. A United States patent is guarantee that no one can come in with a conflicting title after the patent is granted; and people will not buy nowadays un- less they are sure of this. The avoidance of litigation with mining property is worth looking after, and when the title is orce vested in the proper owner by means of a patent, that is the end of any legal proceed ings.
 A doubt regarding ownership is a worse thing to contend with in ne- gotiating for mining property thau a doubt as to the the value of the niue itself. When a man buys a mine he is not. compelled to spend more than he wants to and can stop when he likes, but in a law suit he is not a free agent. Therefor ii miners intend. .srliing their claims or getting capitalists to aid them, the first step after getting the claim is to get the patent. Moreover, by procuring a patent the miner is re. leased from annual expenditure Once the mine is patented it can lie idle until the owner is ready to work it, as the title then rest ir him and no longer in the Govern ment.
 Much trouble and expense can b, prevented by getting a patent, ant it is much less expense than many suppose.
