wrong.
An adverse claimant should set
forth i'm detail the fact upon which he
bases his adverse claim. A statement
in general terms, embodying conclu'
stons of law, without stating the facts
specially, will not be considered in
evidence.
An adverse claimant should show a
com pliance with the local laws in re-
cording his claim and in regard TO ex-
penditures, and shall file copy OF
the original notice of his location,
and show the nature or the extent of
the conflict alleged.
An allegation of parties TO suit that
they compose the company Is suffi-
cient, and they are not required to
prove that they are the original loca-
tors or the identical parties who pre-
sented the adverse claim.
AGRICULTURAL OR MINERAL LANDS.
Where the land is of little, il any,
value for agricultural purposes, but is
essential for the development OF NM
ing claims, it should be disposed of
under the Mining Act.
Where lands containing valuable
mineral deposits have been included
in an agricultural entry, said entry
will be cancelled at any time prior TO
issue of patent, upon satisfactory evil
dence OF the existence of such valu-
able deposits.
Where valuable mineral deposits
are discovered upon tract after the
same has been entered as agricultural,
but before patent has been issued, the
parties claiming the mine may make
appl Astion for patent for same, and
the agricultural entry will be can
celled to that portion Of the land en-
braeed by said mining claim.
Where mineral deposits are discov-
cred on agricultural lands after the
patent has been issued to an agricul-
tural claimant, they pass with the
patent.
AgriculturalCollege scrip cannot be
received in payment for claims.
ALIENS.
A foreigner may make a mining To-
cation and dispose of it, provided he
a
the mine. Proof that the party was
not citizen before disposing of his
claim must be affirmatively shown.
Locators and intermediate owners,
other than applicants, Will not be
presumed aliens. in the absence of
allegation or objection prior to the
issuance of patent.
The portion of a mining claim sold
to an alien cannot be patented while
such owner is an alien; but on his
declaration to become a citizen his
right dates back to his purchase, and
he may thereupon secure an United
States patent for his claim.
CROSS LEDGEs.
Revised Statutes, Section 1886.
Where two or more lodges cross or
intersect each other, priority of title
shall govern, and such prior location
shall be entitled To all mineral con-
tanned within the space of intersec-
ton, but the subsequent location
shall have the right of way through
the space OF intersection for the pur-
pose of the convenient working OF the
mine. And where two or more veins
unite the oldest or prior locator shall
take the vein below the point of
union, including all the space ofinter-
section.

tunnel location 5000 by 1900 feet. A
proper location is the width of the
tunnel for 5000 feet.

patenting tunnel locations, but lodes
discovered in running tunnel may
be patented in like manner as other
lodes.
