WASHINGTON, Dec. 3lst.-Secre-
tary Schurz to-day decided that
the location of q mill site abutting
on the end of lode owned by
different person is admissible, pro-
vlded the applicant can demon
strate that the proposed mill site
10 non.mineral land. The practice
of the Department heretofore has
been to refuse oil such applications
absolutely, on the presumption
that such site must necessarily be
mineral ground. The present de.
cision, however, recognizes the pos
tive statutory prohibition against
allowing lode owners taking up ad-
ditional land for mill sites at
the end of their lodes.
A patent has been taken out at
the Interior Department for the
Saugrs de Christie grant, in New
Mexico, which contains near one
million acres, but its delivery is
withheld until the grant owners
shall have deposited $4,000 to pay
for the survey. This enormous
grant is understood to be owned by
the Denver and Rio Grande Rail-
way Company.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8lst.-It is
expected that the American ex.
port Of petroleum will be effected
by the rapid decline in production
In what IL known as the Northern
field Of Pennsylvania, OF which
Bradford is the centre. For some
years the United States have en-.
joyed almost q monopoly Of the
petroleum production OF the world,
owing to the immense deposits In
North Pennsylvania and the econ
omy with which the oil was
brought to the surface. The news
that this field is shown q rapid
decline in production and that
prices must necessarily advance,
will stimulate production In other
parts of the world. The State De-
pArtment, through United States
Consuls, has Information of large
petroleum fields In Russia, China
and South America.
