Locating Quartz Claims.

On our second page we publish
a recent decision of the supreme
court of Idaho which is of the first
Importance to mining men and
prospectors generally. Having
kept track of these matters for
many years we do not hesitate to
say that fully rs per cent. of the
quartz locations made in this
county, as shown by the records,
are improperly made, and if the
claims covered by these locations
were made the subject of litigation
they would not stand the test Of
law for a second. In interpreting
our mining laws the courts nat
urally allow large latitude to the
prospector; but the time comes
when they have to draw the line
somewhere between giving the
prospector credit for possessing a
little common sense or else includ-
ing him in the list of irresponsible
idiots who ought to be subject to
guardianship. ffaie
The laws governing the location
of mining claims are simple and
easy to comprehend; and there is
no excuse for prospectors not To-
eating their claims in accordance
Herewith. We can go to the
county records today and put our
finger on valuable mining property
which is held under locations which
any court would pronounce invalid
in five minutes. Under existing
circumstances there has been no
necessity for the making of amend-
cd notices; but as mining property
in Idaho county is now getting val
liable we advise every one owning
mining interests to sec that his
original location is good, and if not
to amend same without delay.
With the prospect of mining
boom in the near future Idaho
county will be overrun with blood
suckers and vampires who make a
business Of Jumping mining prop
erty and plunging it into litigation
on technicalities in order, to extOrt
blackmail from the owners. Many
fortunes have been made in that
manner, and Idaho county win
prove no exception to the rule. A
word to the wise is sufficient. A
stitch in time saves nine.

Florence Quartz Mill Changed
Hands. Nl9

III. f. Nettleton, a mining bro
ker and practical milling man Of
Spokane, has bought the quartz
mill, water rights and all the APP
purtenances belonging to the GUS
tom mill in Florence from f. J.
Boyer, and will proceed forthwith
to inaugurate several radical
departures and improvements in
the property, with the view Of i'm
proving its facilities. for !, crushing
the ore and saving its values to
better advantage than the present
plant affords. Mr.. Nettlcton ar
rived out from Florence Monday
and our reporter learned from him
that he intends to put in ten
stamp battery equipment with van
ner and everything complete in
order to do all the custom work
that may be presented and to save
"a much higher per centage Of the
valuable mineral contents of the
ore than has been possible in tho
past with the present crude
facilities.
The new mill win be a godsend
all around, in the way of starting
development work on claims, and
with the certainty of putting into
circulation a large amount
of money which otherwise
would have remained in tho
ore on the dumps for an indef-
mite period. With the limited ca
pacity of the present mill the ore
has had to be carefully sorted and
only the richest put throughs but
with q ten-stamp battery every
thing can be milled, and a better
general average of the value Of the
ore obtained, although the pro
ceeds may not be SO fabulously
rich as heretofore.
