 Further details regarding the fifty stamp custom mill to be built immediate ly at Barstow by the people of the Rsnds. burg railroad are given by J. r. NeVlnS or the Denver Iron Works as follows: IhlS plant, when completed, will represent all features of modern appliances Tor qhck and perfect methods for handling ores. The mill proper will contain nIty stanips arnIos of $50 pounds each and have ninety drops per minute capable of crushing from loO to 200 tons of ore per day. A system or twelve Frue vanners will be put Tn 10 take care of all the tailings for concentrates Automatic feeders will be attached to the motors, with the ore crushers above the bins, making the process of handling ores an economic feature. The power plant consists of one Corliss 200-horsepower en- zine and two steel boilers of 1OO-horsepoW- CT each. The mill will be equipped with a full electric lighting plant, the wires , s,I1 eX tending to all parts of the camp: The mil is about 1000 feet from the MoJaVe River and on the railroad The mill will con sume about 100000 gallons of water eacn twenty-four hours, which will be supplied from wells in which water is obtalneo at about twenty-four feet from the surface. The company is now sinking, wells Tn which an abundance of water Is found. The plant, with sampling works, crushers and rolls, will be ready to run about May 15. The plans of the company are so ma tured that they expect to treat S1 ore, which will prove a lasting benefit to mines around Randsburg.
 A notable mining suit, known as the Morse-HeinZe case, is now being tried in the United States court at Butte, Mont. Of course the issue hinges upon extra lateral rights that wonderfully fruitful source of long decisions and big lawyers fees. The Western Mining World enter tainingly comments on the case as fol- lows
 While the views of thirty odd experts as to the geoiogy of this section, with its veins, zones and ore bodies, and the fantastic gyrationS of our fnnumerable dips, spurs and angles, will prove or more lamentable fact that expensive and long, drawn-out litigation promises to become one of the principal industries oL this city.
 others, and these unfortunate disagree ments will hardly be settled before the crack of doom. Millions are involved in these cases, and they represent the con tests of giants. When the United States Supreme Court shall have finally. dove tailed all differences into definite ex- pression of justice there will have been a wonderful contribution to the mining literature of the world. AS educators the liugants will have rendered invaluable service to mining men,, not only m the matter of mining detail as brought out by expert testimony. but in the greater and broader sense of teaching them to settle their differences outside ct court.
 
 State are districts to which attention is turning in an effective way for the first time and in which mining develop ment is just beginning. From out-of-the- way corners of mining counties come ire quent tales like this from correspond ent of the Democratic Banner Of Sonora: There is quite an interest taken In min ing in and around Blanket Creek. Sev- eral parties, with view of bonding, have been around recently. Land & Burchard made clean-up in their arastra and their ore went $20 per ton. This will be a surprise to many to think S2O ore has been sticking out of the ground until this late hour. This is section of country that has not been prospected much, and in fact, is very little known of in min ing circles. It is a true mineral belt, or a spur from the great east belt, running very nearly east and west, connecting with the east belt near the Buchanan mine.''
 The Schaffer mine, near the Providence, Tuolumne County, is giving evidence of great value. The vein is five feet wide, the gold appearing exclusively in the sulphurets, which assay S160O per ton, ac- cording to report.
 Reports have been frequent concern ing the splendid character of ore en- countered in one of the Shell group of mines, Tuolumne County, operated by John T.. Newcomer It is reported that the ledge suddenly widened and from
