PRECIOUS METAL INNING
IN TIE UNITED .ST4 TE.S


Awriter in the Atlantic Monthly says
that whoever looks over the whole field
of American precious metal mining
will be convinced that this industry is
certain to make very rapid growth in
what is LEFT Of this century. He will
also come to the conclusion that the
production OF silver is destined 10 in
crease very rapidly for score or so of
years to come provided the demand
for this much slandered metal does not
fail TOO far short Of the supply. Be
yond a brief term this yield of silver
will surely diminish, especially if there
is any considerable lowering in as
price.
The observant eye can also sec that
the production of gold is likely to be
extended to many new fields, and that
the Weld of this metal is in the future
likely to be rather more steady than
that Of It's hulkier sharer in the greed
of men.
North America and the twin conti-
nent on the south are doubtless to be
the great producers of precious metals
in the future their store of silver
must be Of greater value at the present
price of this metal than their store of
gold.
If the world continues to use silver
IN the coming century as 1t has in the
past thirty centuries, there is a fair
prospect that our continent will win
some thousands of millions from its
silver bearing lodes. Even il we
make what seems to be the mistake Of
using gold alone IS basis Of exchange,
the production of this metal will no
doubt give us a larger mining industry
than any other country can expect to
gain.

The Chinese have military methods
quite as novel as the engines of war
daily invented in civilized countries.
Ii Yung Choi is a rebel leader who has
long defied the Chinese Government.
He can be kept in his mountain fast
nesses, but he cannot be driven out Of
them or captured. 1t was recently de-
cided that something must be done to
save the Imperial commanders from
disgrace. One of LIS followers was
accordingly attired to personate the
obstinate chieftain, and after a formal
and pompous trial, was beheaded at

EAR2HQUAKE IN Il MINE,
In conversation with an old mine

In conversation with an old miner
lately, says i Nevada paper, among
other topics that Of earthquakes was
taken up and the fact that those con-
vulsions of nature were never felt un-
derground, and various other views
and facts concerning them were ad-
vanced. Among other things he re-
marked that on the occasion of the
last shake at Secret Canyon, he was
at work IL mine on Prospect noun
tain, and although the tremor was
plainly felt by his partners on the sur
face, at :. depth Of eighty feet he
noticed nothing unusual. He
then said that through an experience
Of fifteen years underground he had
observed one very peculiar fact, that
between the hours ofIa and o'clock
at night, if there was a loose stone or
bit of earth in.the nine ii was sure to
fall. Said he: "About this time it
seems that everything begins to stir
and Immediately after II, although
the mine has beeil as still as the tomb
before, you will hear little particles Of
rock and earth come down, and il
there is a caving piece of ground in
the mine it IS sure TO give away"
This is strange phenomenon that
and philosophers nave failed
to explain to US. but our friend vouches
for its truth on basis Of many years

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1880.
H. N. Corp, Eso.-.Sy:. l am in
receipt Of your letter of 18th ult., re-
ferring to the question of relocating
mines under the law of January 22,
1880, and asking the following ques-
tons:
1. When does mine located Feb
ruary I, 1880, become subject to relo-
cation?
2. When does mine located April
8, 1875, on which the annual work
has heretofore been promptly done,
and improvements made, become sub
ject to relocation; provided no worl,
has been done since April s, 1879?
The second section OF the act TO
which you refer is as follows:
" Provided, That the period within
which the work required to be done
annually on all unpatented mineral
claims shall commence on the first day
of January succeeding the date Of To-
cation of such claim; and this section
shall apply to all claims located since
the 10th day of May, A. D., eighteen
hundred and seventy-two."
1t will be perceived that said law
seeks to fix the calender year as the
uniform period within which the annual
improvements, required by R. S. Sec.
ton 2s24, must be made, and as loca-
tions are made at different dates
thro1'-h the year, the first annual ex-
pendltures are made due within ons
year from a common date, to-wit: the
first Of January next following the To-
cation; thereafter they become due
with the expiration ol each calender
year.
Hence the. irst annual expenditm,
o,yn d liAi..l Is. : -r.4- 9 o's &
becomes du: at the explr ton Of on;
year from January I, 1881, to-wlt
January 1, 1882, on which day tn,
claim becomes subject to adverse loca
ton if improvements are not made.
In order to apply the law to claim
located April 8, 1875, it is necessary
to calculate from the date of location
as there is no other provision for it:
application, and it is retroactive, anc
embraces all unpatented claims located
since May 1o, 1872. The first ex
penditures upon this location are
therefore reckoned to be due within
one year from January I, 1876, to.wlt
January I, 1877, and annually there
after, by the calendar year, Or within
the calendar year 1879, the claim is
not subject to relocation, and will be-
come SO subject only upon the expira-
ton of 1886, and a failure of expen-
ditures for that year. If no expendi-
lures were made in the calendar year
1879, the claim is now subject 10 ad-

LAN MINING DECISIONS.

LITE MINING DECISIONS.
There is no law which exempts un.
patented mining property from execu,
ton.
The United States mining law does
not prohibit the same party from hold
ing more than one claim on the same
lode.
A party is not authorized to go
within the claim and possession OF
another party and discover a ledge on
which he may base location.
The location Of third party upon
a location outside the first location but
within the second, would probably be
recognized as legal.
A locator's record should conform
to the actuI location on the ground,
and the only proper method to correct
mistake in this matter would be to
make new record.
1t cannot properly be stated just
how far locator may deviate from
TIE plain requirements of Section
2,624 CT United States Revised
Statutes in making lis location and
yet save his claim. Strict compliance
with the law is the only security with
the locator.
