The Interior Department has made an important ruling regard ing the amount of work that must be done on group of mines before patent will be issued. By this late ruling it must be shown that the 500S worth of work tended to develop the whole group for which patent application is made. If no such showing can be made each claim in the group must have 500S worth of work done on it before patent will issue. This ruling sets aside the former ruling of the de- partment and will hold up many applications for patent now before the land offices in the western states and territories.

Colorado has passed California in the production of gold and the newspapers of the Centennial State are doing a good deal of growing about it. Within ten years Ari- zona will stand at the head of the list. With only a few big com panies operating in the territory we stand third in production of gold and copper and nothing seems to be thought of the matter. With proper appliances the rich gravel bars of the Colorado river will soon be producing from ten to fifteen million dollars annually and Col orado and California capitalists will have their eyes opened to the golden opportunities they have overlooked.
