Cost of a Mining Patent,

To obtain patent for mining claim.
the cost is about as follows, as figured
up by those who have had experience in
the matter: The advance fee for sur
yeyor' work in the United States, sur
veyor generals office on each and every
claim is $40. The fees for the deputy
mineral surveyor may be averaged at
800. Such wo,lld be the charge for
surveying single claim, or it may be
reduced one halfwhere there are several
to make in one locality. We believe
such charge is made on basis of $50
per day. The fees of the register and
receiver of the local land office amount
to- s 10, the cost of advertising will aver
age $40. depending entirely upon the
length of the description which may be
long or concise. The cost of posting
notices on the mine and the affidavits
of WITNESSES may be set down at $50. In
most cases an attorney will have to be
employed. whose fee should not exceed
300 for all clerical work. Then add
the final government charge for the land
at IS per acre for a quartz claim. A
claim of 81 ..500x60e feet contains frac-
ton of over twenty-one acres, and con-
sequently costs about S107. Thus we
have the sum of S417 as fair and aver
age estimate of the cost of securing a
government patent, and perfect title
to full sized quartz mine.

Mercantile Economy.

In the interior of the State who was

was at the same time rather queer, as

order he claimed shortage of six clothes
pins on shipment of 100 dozen, and in
the next he found barrel of sugar
three-quarters of pound less than stat
ed in the BILL This gave the firm a cue
for future dealing with him, and every
order was filled with the utmost care.
Everything was all right for a few
months, but then slip gave him a
chance to growl over shortage of six
ounces on the gross weight of a chest of
tea, and from that time he had a COM
plant ready whenever an order has been
filed At length, the other day. he
walked into the store in person, his face
wearing look of stern determination,
and after the usual compliments he be-
gan:

Poetry and Practical Work.

Charles Sprague, a Boston boy, cash
fer and poet, whose Fourth-of-July ora
ton has been s'got by heart" by more
than one generation, was indebted for
his intellectual cultivation to his own eff
forts He began with a common-schOol
education, which then meant the t'three
Rs-reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic. :"
But he supplemented those by reading
good books and by the practice of COM
position in prose and poetry.
Entering grocer's shop, he worked
up until he had store of his own. Sew
eral odes he wrote, especially one, recited
at the Shakespeare celebration in Bos-
ton, in 1928, attracted public attention.
He was appointed cashier of the Globe
Bank and held the Office for forty years,
thus showing that literature and banking
may be intimate friends.
His Shakespeare ode, which has been
greatly admired, contains one passage,
the one descriptive of the murder, which
was fayorite of the late James I. Fields.
On mentioning this fact to Mr. Sprague,
he said
.'Ah, how well do remember the day
Iwrote thati | was keeping a groeers
shop on fremont Row at the time. 1t
was cold, stormy, winters day, and
was alone in the shop sitting over sheet
iron stove.
81 had just reached this passage and
was hoping nobody would come in,
when man opened the door and asked
for quart of train-oil. Well, sir, filled
his vessel for him and handed it back,
and then, nay hands reeking with train
oil, finished that passage"
The anecdote illustrates that we'll
filed and trained mind can do its work
midthemost unfavorable surroundings.
Few would think a grocer's shop suitable
for a poets room, or that train-oil was
favorable to poetic composition. But
Mr.. Sprague had the mental power to
master even these surroundings.
