There is considerable diversity of opin. they should allow on mine bonds, but
 there is a tendency to give less time
 than formerly, owing to the objection of tying up the property to people who
 may, after all, do nothing with it. This
 objection to long time depends, however, on the individuals who bond. If they only tie up the claim hoping to make a commission on a sale, and then fail to dispose of it, the shorter time given them the better, though they always want six months or a year in which to carry on their negotiations. When a claim is, however, bonded to company, who are to develop it and become the possible purchasers themselves in the event of success, they need considerable to prove the worth ot the property. A provision enforcing "continuous work" is good remedy in this case. since if they stop, the claim reverts to the orig nal owner without the loss of too much. Those who intend negotiating Ideals" complain that sixty or ninety days time is too short to carry one through, while the mine owners do not like to tie up their property too long. Long and easy term bonds of course give plenty of time for investigation and examination, but are not always fair to the original own- CTS It is not unusual to give one, two or three years time or lease, where com panies obligs themselves to develop the claim during the period. But peuple who bond only to sell should not be giv- en any such time. In fact, six months, at furthest, is plenty of time for such an operation, and unless it is to be abroad, ninety days should suffice in most in- stances. Hawking mine about from
