OBTAINING MINERAL PATENTS.
Inconsistencies in the Rulings of the
IT Commissioner

Inconsistencies in the Rulings of the
q. S. Commissioner.
: The Denver Republican publishes
the following matter which viii be of
Importance to all having mining
claims
Recent rulings OF the commissioner of
the general land Office upon the matter
OF the annual assessment work upon
mining claims and the amount of work
necessary for the patent have excited
considerable comment in mining circles.
The first is TO the effect that cnntin-
uous claims can be represented by work
done upon any one of the group, pro-
vided that the work done is equivalent
to the expenditure of 500 on eacls
claim. Little fault is found with this
ruling, because it is evident by this
method there is much better opportu-
nifty for a speedy determination of the
value of the property. The expenditure
of $500 in a single shaft might open up
an ore body while the same amount
scattered over five claims would only
resul. in five shallow holes, showing up
nothing. A more recent ruling, how
ever. is being severely criticised. In
this ruling the commissioner says:
The conclusion is apparent that an
expenditure of $500 on one or more of
braced in one application for patent is
sufficient if made for the convenience
Of working or developing all of the
claims included This must conclusive
~ appear"
The inconsistency of these two rul-
ingS is apparent, to say nothing of the
implied conflict with the terms of the
statute. Briefly explained, the latter
ruling is to the effect that if a man has
rla
1000 in order to retain his rights under
the law, but if he chooses to go to pat
ent he will be required to do only $500
worth of work. The law is perfectly
plain that $500 worth of work must be
done to perfect title to one claim If in
developing a group he is compelled to
eXpend an amount equivalent to 500 for
each claim in the group, it does not
appear upon what hypothesis he may
be allowed to proceed to patent before
having expended the total amount re-
quired by law in order to secure the
patent. The latter decision is generally
regarded by mining men to work a Sc
rious hardship upon the poor proSpector
who may have discovered good mineral
upon q claim. For instance: Having
made a discovery and located his extra
lateral claims for protection, he may be
able to put into the shaft on his main
lead the total amount of labor repre-
scented by the number of his claims
But he has not the money to prosecute
his claims to 4 patent and must be
contented to depend upon his annual
assessment for his title. Before he can
put his mine in condition to take out
pay ore he is surrounded by wealthy
syndicate which will take up 20 claims
around q promising prospect, and by
doing $500 worth of work will secure
q patent Such rulings demonstrate
the necessity for change in the stat
utes that are capable of such construc-
tions.

DIVIDENDS PAID.
How Much Has Been Distributed by
Utah Mines.

A reader of The Herald desires to
know how much the mines of Utah
have paid in dividends.
This is a hard question to answer, as
many OF the earlv dividend-payers of
the state are now idle; old companies
have ceased to exist and in many in
stances no records have been kept or
preserved Of the amounts paid in divi
dends or in net earnings
Nearly every camp in Utah is able
to boast of its old dividend PAYERS,
many of which have paid their thous-
ands and even millions.
In Big Cottonwood. the Reed & Good
speed was a dividend-payer for years;
Little Cottonwood has been able to
boast OF it's Emma and it's Flagstaff
mines, which paid heavy dividends at
one time. of which no record is now
easily obtainable; American Fork can

which was a marvel in its day, and
made a number of fortunes; while in
Beaver county, in Tooele, Ju2b and
Salt Lake there We're hundreds of
mines which made wonderful records
at one time, but which are now but
dim memories of the past
Coming down TO Il later date, it is
possible to ascertain amounts paid in
dividends to a certain extent, the total
paid by companies listed on the board
of the mining exchange, together with
their capitalization, being as follows:

A startling incident of which Mr..

subject, is narrated by him as follows:
II was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow. eyes sunk

back and sides, no appetite-gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up Forum

Improvement. I continued their use
for three weeks, and am now a well

WEST DIP DEVELOPMENTS.
Work in Contemplation for the Van
derbilt and Other Prorerties.

NJ DIX IN contemplation LOT the an
derbilt and Other Properties.
The coming year will witness q, great
deal Of activity and development on
the west dip side of Camp Floyd dis
trict, and it is believed that it viii not
be long before this section will be able
to show Up favorably with its older
sister, the locality in which the mines
of Mercur are found.
Besides the work that is progressing
in the opening up of the LaCigale and
the Daisy, the Edna May and other
west dip propositions, active operations
are in progress at the Vanderbilt
owned by the Bucklin Gold Mining
company, of which Hon. Thomas G.
Merrill is manager and a large stock
holder
Mr. Merrill has always been an en-
thusiast regarding the mineral depos-
its of Camp Floyd district, and he is
thoroughly satisfied as TO the outcome
of the Vanderbilt, and holds to the
belief that before the year 1898 is fairly
launched, arrangements for a mill for
this property will be in contemplation
as already considerable ore has been
blocked out in the mine, some of which
will run from IS to So in gold to the
ton, While even higher assays have
been obtained.
The Bucklin company, which is COM
posed of some very strong men, finan-
cially and otherwise, is also the owner
of a group of six claims north of the
LaCigale and the Edna May. on which
a large amount of work will be done
at an early date, and Mr.. Merrill is of
the opinion that with thorough devel-

statement made by Hon. Carroll D.

speech of yesterday. Mr.. Gallinger ex-
pressed surprise that so reckless q
statement should have been made by a
man usually so careful as Mr. Wright
Mr.. Pritchard of North Carolina chair
man of the committee on civil service,
which is engaged in a general investi-
cation of the civil service system, fol-
lowed in speech dealing with the gen
eral features of the civil service law.
1t was, he said, a singular coincidence
that it never occurred to Mr.. Cleveland
to make his sweeping extensions of the
civil service law until he reached that
point where it was obvious to him that
his party was to be repudiated by the
American people at the next general
election, nor until nearly all the Repub-
licans had been removed from Office and
their places filed with Simon-pure
Democrats.
At 2 o'clock the bill went over to a

1t was learned yesterday afternoon that

BUTTE REpUcTIoN WORKS.
Improvements Made in This Up-to-
Date liant.

Date liant
The Butte Miner says that the Butte
reduction works are rapidly coming to
the front as a first-class modern and
up-tO-date smelling and reduction
plant, and workmen are constantly put
ting up new buildings to accommodate
the large amount of new machinery
Which is being put in place. Last year
the total output of the plant, which
was kept running principally on ore
from the Colusa-Parrot mine, was g.
OoOOOO pounds of copper. This year the
output of the works was almost three
times as large, being over 5000, 900
pounds. and next year it is probable
that the plant VIII be so enlarged that
the output in 1898 will be anywhere
from 1000, 600 TO 15,000,O00 pounds Dur
ing the last year nearly sl00 600 was
spent IN improving the plant, which is
now one of the most modern and i'm
proved in the state and one of the
largest outside Of the Boston & Mon
tana ard Anaconda. AS to the prOduc-
ton of the Colusa-Parrot and Original
mines increase and the amount of ore
to be handled is augmented, so the ca
paclty of the reduction plant has been
increased and the older machinery has
given way to the most modern and ap-
proved appliances for the reduction of
ore. The old wooden buildings have
been torn away and given place to steel
and brick stru lures, all the main
buildings of the plant being now so
constructed
At the present time new steel blast
furnace building is being built and an
