"A we'll known mining man was asked
yesterday what was the outlook for the
future OF Montana's chief industry, min
Ing. He said the prospect was never
brighter. 1t was owing a great deal to
the Indifference of Montanians themsely-
es that many good paying mines were
not being operated at the present time.
Human nature is everywhere alike. Dis
lance lends enchantment to the view here
as we'll as elsewhere. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been invested
In the Ceur d. Alenes by our people in
no better prospects than can be found in
half dozen districts within short dis
tances of Helena that could be named.
In fact the ore here was of a much hiph-
er grade.
In the CGur d. Alenes and other parts
OF ldaho, Montana purchasers think moth
ing OF putting in q hundred thousand
dollars to develop mire and nearly as
11n, much more for concentrating machinery.
The same money invested in the same
wey III this state would produce better
results. He, himself, had put great
deal of money in to Idaho property and it
was good investment, but, still, his
greatest holdings were in Montana. The
chances are that the best mines of Mon
tana will all go to strangers. We never
thought much of our real estate till most
OF it had been corraled. Then, when we
couldn't get it we have gone around tell
ing how much land we could have taken
up for nothing at all, if we had Just
known. But we didn't know. Mines are
wanted; purchasers are in the field, ready
and willing to buy; but home capital is
10th to take hold. Give us mine up in
Alaska or in the interior Of Africa and we
are your huckleberry, but don't say a
word about Montana mines; ha! la! We
know all about them. That is what the
average Helenian thinks, but in reality
he knows absolutely nothing about the
mines OF his own state. Of course, there
are number Of thorough going mining
men here, who are not slow to get on to
a good thing and that is just where the
trouble lies; there are SO many really
first class propositions, on paying basis.

Every Man His Own IaWyer.

Here is something, taken from the San
Francisco Mining Review, which may be
of interest to miners who cannot readily
command the survices of an assayer. 1t
is given as the rule usually followed to
find the amount of gold in a piece of
quartz without an assay: First weigh
the quartz dry. Then weigh in water,
the quartz suspended by thread. Next
divide the dry weight by the difference
between wet and dry (adding decimals if
necessary. Subtract from this result the
weight of quartz casually 260 or 261 for
free gold, but 265 to 270 if filed with
sulphurites). Multiply this result by the
weight of gold, viz: 1893. Then multiply
this amount by the result Of subtraction
of wet from dry. The result will be,
%fter paainting off all decimals that have
peen ADDED, Tho exact weight in gold.

no fraud committed in procuring the
patent to be issued by the patentees, or
those claiming under them that the
patent was legal and is the evidence OF
the legal ownership of all the lands EN-
braced in it, or covered by it. 1t directly
affirmed the non-existence of fraud, and
having done so in aproper case, the courts
of the country will not permit the PLAIN
tiff in any other suit to controvert this
judicially established fact, where the
Issue is between the same parties or their
prives.
The United States having exhausted its
powers in fruitess effort to cancel this
patent, it becomes the duty Of the courts
and the people to abide the final judgment
OF the highest tribunal to which contro-
versy can be appealed, and to seek redress
| for lneritorious grievances, if any exist, at
the hands OF q just and generous govern
ment.
The judgment Of the court below is
affirmed.
The New MEXICAN is extremely graft
fed at the result. 1t will prove OF the
greatest possible advantage to the terri
tory. The Maxwell Land Grant company
can now 60 ahead and carry out its
vast plans OF improving the magnificent
estate owned by it and settling it up. 1t
is working hard to induce immigration
into the northern part of New Mexico,
and from now on, being freed from the at
lacks OF demagogues and scoundrely black
mailers, will succeed. The titles under
which it claims have been fully sustained
in the highest courts of the land, and the
mandates OF the courts must and will be
respected.
In this connection it is but just that
proper credit should be given to Hon.
Frank Springer, the company's counsel,
who has represented the company in
every suit and has been successful i'll
] every point. The United States has en-
ployed extra and eminent counsel in the
Colorado suit and before TIE United States
supreme court. Mr.. Springer neverthe-
less triumphed. These facts show con-
clusively that the Maxwell company had
u good and just cause, and that MIR.
Springer is one OF the foremost attorneys
of the southwest. The New MEXICAN
heartily congratulates Mr.. Springer.

OUR COAL INTERESTS.

House bill No. 3, introduced by Hon.
John G. Spears, passed the house on yes
terday with but one dissenting vote. 1t
is an act providing for the establishment
of the office OF territorial coal mine in
spector and prescribing measures for the
protection and safety of coal miners. 1t
is most excellent measure, designed to
protect alike the owners OF coal mines
and coal miners. Mr.. Spears, who has
been coal miner for sixteen years him
self, and is therefore intimatel " acquainted
with what is needed and what is just and
right to all concerned, drew the bill,
championed it, made very eloquent ap-
peal in the house ON yesterday, and sole
ly by his energetic and well directed eff
forts passed it as above described.
The coal miners OF Gallup, Cerrillos,

Monero and other coal mining districts
have the proper man to represent them
in the 2Sth legislative assembly. The
coal mining industry is q growing one
and is becoming very import.
ant. There are between ! 800 and SOC
men now employed in that business, and
the territory at the present time produces
according to the latest obtainable data
over q million of tons of coal per year
The Monero and Amargo coal mines sup
ply the Denver & Rio Grande railroad
Blossburg, Ration and Carthage supply
the A., r. & S. F. and Mexican Central
Cerrillos supplies the local demand
through the territory, and Gallup the At
lantic & Pacific railroad. 1t is therefore
clear that coal mining is soon destined to
be one Of the leading industries Of New
Mexico. Hence it is entitled to fostering
care and protection. Mr.. Spears bill,
Just passed by the house, should be
speedily acted upon favorably in the
council and become law.
