"Tho earliest mining laws were en-
acted. not by congress, but by the NIL
ners themselves In the mining dis
tricts." writes cx-pfesldent Harrison In
the Ladies' Home Journal. IT Is
curious fact that from isi9 to 1866. tho
period Of the greatest development IN
the mining Of goo, there was no Ia"
OF the United Sta regulating the sub
ioct. The prospeg fors roamed over the
public lands. locA,ed placer or quartz
mines and took out a fabulous store OF
gold without any tito whatever 70 the
lands from which they dug this great
store OF wealth. They were in a strict
sense trcspasscrs. A policy 70 reserve
mineral lands from sale under the gem
oral land laws had prevailed for many
years and had been expressed In suit
able laws. but no provision had been
made for the sale Of such lands. In
the land grants 70 the Pacific Railroad
companies Il was provided that min
eral lands should not pass under tho
grants. The river beds. gulche8 and
mountain sides were prospccicd BY
mon who carried picks and basins In
their hands and a brace OF pistols IN
their belts. They were aiame with the
lust OF gold. and among them were
many desperate men. but they had the
Anglo-saxon instinct for organizing
civil Institutions and his love OF fair
play. There were no mining laws. and
IN many places none Of any sort They
met the emergency BY public meet

latye body with full powers and made
code that did not cover a vide neld
but covered their case. The limits OF
