specifications or appealing for a new
hearing, in the meanwhile shutting
out other patents. BY making slight
changes at the end of the two years
and repeating the process at the end
of two years more, an application
could be kept pending for years, thus
prolonging the life of inventions much
beyond the contemplation of the law.
In the Beriiner cases the patent was
in the Office for about fifteen years
and was then granted to run for sew
enteen years. The courts declared
this action illegal. The new rules re-
quire applications on appeals to be
made within six months, and direct
the rejection of any claims that have
been pending for five years. unless
the applicant can show cause why
the case was not rapidly prosecuted.

LAST CHANCE-TYLER.
Supreme Court Decision In Favor of
the Former Company.


the Former Company.
Washington, April 15.-The case of the
Last Chance Mining company VS.. The
Tyler Mining company, involving prop
erty in Idaho, was decided by the United
States supreme court today. The case
came to this court from the United States
circuit court of appeals for the Ninth
circuit on motion for a writ of certionari
made by the Last Chance company. The
decision of the court of appeals was in
the interest of the Tyler company. The
decision of the supreme court rendered
today reverseS the decision, and it is in
the interest of the Last Chance COM
pany.
The opinion was handed down by
Judge Brewer.
The supreme court opinion does not
go into the merits of the more important
questions presented in the case, except
to point them out, but is confined to the
mere technicality, of the validity of the
court before which the case was first
brought. The district court passed only
upon the question of priority of location,
and its decision was favorable to the
appealed to the United States circuit
court which held that the judgment in the
district court HAD been improperly adj
judged in evidence, and reversed the dis
trict court. 1t is upon this point that
today's decision turns. The supreme
court overrules this, and holds that the
district courts decision was based upon
sound principles: hence the case is re-
manded with instructions to grant a new
trial. One of the important questions in
volved, which will probably. be brought
dered, and which may ultimately bring
the case to the supreme court, is whether
the owner of q mineral vein has the right
to follow the vein outside of the, boundar-
les of the claim extending downward
when 1t enters at an end line and passes
out at a side line. Justice Brewer said
this was apparently a question not COW
cred by statutes. and that it has never
been passed upon by the court

Washington, April 15.-In view of

chief of the Bureau of Animal Indus

tons, calculated to insure a rigid in

Salmon believes such a course may be

sumner without injuring the interests

healthy, normal advance, and result
in great industrial good to our state.
