TIMBER o MINING.
New Arrangement for Obtaining
Privilege Of Its Use.

The following new ruling of the Cen
eral Land Office relating to the use of
Government timber for mining purposes,
brings to mind the litigation here ten or
twelve years ago when local wood and
charcoal dealers, mining companies and
the railroad company were involved in
legal difficulties over the unlawful cut
ting of timber. The new regulations
seem to be more simple and less expens-
i've than the system recently in vogue.
The Western Mining World has the fol-
lowing to say of the new DECISIONS:
Mining operations in the West have
been greatly hampered by the restrictions
thrown around the use Of Government
timber. While prospecting has been car
ried on and mines developed in a small
way, the large propositions felt the need
of more liberal laws as to the use of tim
Der. Happily. Mr.. Hermann, the toii1-
missioner of the Genera Land Office, has
made a ruling that will confer a great
benefit on the mining Interests of the
West. He has decided TO grant to mining
companies the privilege of cutting all the
timber they need, provided instructions
are followed.
Upon request a Government agent will
be sent to a mining amp who will mark
such trees as may be cut for mining pur'
poses. In this way the young trees vii
be protected by the Government. An ar
rangement of his kind will be satisfac
tory to mining men and in the end Prov
la-oc.1 b +lo f1nin
owners will have less hesitancy in pat
enting their properties if assured the,
will no longer be hampered in the matte
of procuring mining timbers as required
The decision is of great importance an
will be appreciated by mining men gen
orally.
