MINING LEGISLATION.

Proposed Amendments to tn. Existing Law
WASHINGTON, March 19.-The House
committee on mines devoted two hours to-
day to the further consideration of the bill
recently reported by the public lands com
missioners, so far as it relates to mining
locations. There was spirited discus
sion on tue proposition to allow the miner
one year liter making his location in which
to discover minerals. Berry, of California,
and Campbell, of Arizona, members of The
committee, strenuous!y opposed the propo-
sition, but in view of the fact that in some
parts of the country minerals are found
from 200 to 300 feet below the surfac the
ommittee determined to give prospectors
one year in which To fiud them. The COM
mittee agreed to the amendment offered by
Bedford, Of Colorado, reducing the price of
mineral lands IRON S. to $3.50 per acre,
add also to extend the time for applying
for patent from one to two years.
A section in reference to milling locations
as agreed to is as follows: A mining claim
located after the first day of September,
1890, may equal, but shall not exceed a
square of 900 feet add the same may be 10
any shape so that neither length nor
breadth shall exceed 1900, nor aggregate
an area to exceed that of the square herein
before first described. The section gives
to the miner an area of about 90 acres
but does not allow him to follow his mineral
beyond his surface boundary lines. The
committee are unanimous IN favor of the
application Of the common law principles
to all mining locations hereafter to be made.
The members of the committee declared
that there can DO no prosperity in mining
interests until relief from litigation ia
afforded, ana they believe when q miner is
confined to his side lines there will be nc
more litigation about mining claims than
there is about agricultural lands. The com.
mittee are moving slowly in this matter be-
cause they recognize the great Importance
of the subject aud the necessity Of enact
ing law that viii secure the miner his
rights and shield and protect him from
litigation. Their meeting will be held
next Wednesday when other sections Of
the bill VIII be considered.

send full deleg ,tions can do 50; Others, II
they 30 desire, can DO represented by one
delegate who Is authorized to cast the full
vote Of the county. II we were member
of the Executive Committee We would
favor Territorial Convention. The situa-
ton requires 1t. The question should
never he an open Que again. As We have
come to regard it convention for that
purpose will always be right.
"A bill 10 before Congress, which will
undoubtedly pass If ever reached, authori-
izing the Secretary Of the Interior To trans
init 10 the Executive Of each State, to be
deposited in the State Library for the use
OF the State, in exchange for complete
set of its Legislative and Executive docu-
ments sent to the library OF Congress, and
to the Executive OF each Territory
for the Territorial library, one copy of all
the publications of the government, and
requiring the same retul 1 from the Terrific
ries as from the States. The defect in this
bill, perhaps, is that in the second section
the Delegate of Territory can designate
the institution where the documents shall
be deposited.-" Pablo :" in SaH Lake Tri-
bune.
1t strikes us the Deer Lodge County
Teachers Institute sacrificed its consistency
on the adoption of Resolutions relating 70
the Spelling Reform. 1t recommended the
newspapers OF the Territory To adopt the
rules OF the National Committee, but re-
jected tie succeeding resolution to adopt
those rules for The government Of teachers
and schools in this county. The PROPOSE
ton is absurd. Newspapers will not adopt
the innovation until 1t is established.
Even papers Of supposed small circulation
have readers in nearly every State and
country. A new style Of spelling in an an.
noyance to the reader. The press receives
kilograms and correspondence, refers to
its lexicops and cyclopedias, and reprints
from newspapers, magazipts and books.
Compositions End proof readers, who are
the best..of orthographists, and who perhaps
have made ii the study Of years, would
have to re-lea a. their business. A change
to a new system would thus largely in
crease the labor for years and be injurious
to the paper adopting it. For these reasons
newspapers will naturally adhere to the
established standard until at least a large
portion Of the reading public ale educa.ed
to a new system. That education must
emaaale from the schools, and be populor
lied through text books, dictionaries and
works OF reference. The influence Of each
separate school is local, but through edu
carional organizations school influence may
be generalized. While the present system OF
spelling is incongruous, contains many ab
surdities and entails unne sa,y labor and
difficulties, radical change cannot bt
rapidly made, and it Is doubtful If al
things considered, it is wise to disturb Il
in the manner proposed. Certainly, will
all respect for the Institute, we mus
decline adopting the reform it recommends

REPORT ON GRAMMAR,

Mr.. Hassell. chairman of Cowmittee on Grammar,
reported the following recommendations to the mem
bers of the Institute viz:
We, your committee upon the best method Of pre-
senting the subject of Gran mar and upou The best
text books on the anc, beg leave to submit the fol-
lowing; We recommend that the depa' tment Of
CIR gmEar, which may properly be te. med language,
should be introduced with the very fist lesson Of the
school room. In teaching language We must aim
merely to Re the child to express itself properly.
We think this lie be accomplished bv leading the
child talk about objects with which has just been
made familiaI by the exaction OF answers IN COM
pete e"nces and by the model conversation Of the
careful teacher. TIC idea of sentence with all it's
component parts should be naturally developed and
technlcaties should be avoided set rules should not
burden the young pupils mind. The child should
know of principles ouly In their application. Some
simple m ahod of dia.. aiming. presenting the sen-
tence In picture foim-an attractive object lesson In
its way should be early introduced and continued
through the analytical Grsnnar. Grammar proper,
which embraces formulated statement of principles
should not be taken up until the pupils mind s
somewhat m ture ana can appreciate principles aud
apply them n the more philosophical study OF our
language and Of Kindred n2uages. We further rec
ommend the of Reed snd Kelloyg's &c adel les
We recommend them because o. their simplicity, the
natural development of the snbject, the Instructive
character o. 9 sentences used fel analysis and the
unusual intere excit by their most adp fable ex-
ercises False syniqx.
