Important Mining Decision.

The decision handed down by the su-
prems court of the United States in the
Niagara Blackrock case is one of geat
Importance to the mining industry, says
the Western Mining World. 1t is re-
markable in that it is practically a rever-
sal Of the action taken by that court in
the Amy-Silversmith case. In the lat
ter case it was held that If vein runs
out Of the side lines Of q claim the side
lines thereupon become the end lines,
and the vein cannot be followed in its
dip under what were originally intended
to be the side lines Of the property.
This decision had an important bearing
on thousands of claims that had not
been located with due care. for it is often
very difficult to stake of claim In such
a manner as to be absolutely sure that
the discovery vein runs through both
end lines. A slight DETECTION Of the
course ofthe vein, common to eruptive
localities, might lead it out of side line
near the corner and thus destroy apex
privileges for practically the entire
length Of the claim and in effect destroy
the real value Of the property. It was
held by the court that the burden Of
knowing the ingress and egress Of the
vein. SO to speak. rested upon the locator,
and that the court could allow no credit
for any mistake that might be made in
tracing the course Of the vein. Az 70.

CHANGED HIS Views.

1t would appear to be indicative of a
change in opinion. says the New York
Engineering and Mining Journal. when
We find Gen. Warner Of Ohio, one Of the
prominent men in the silver movement
actually investing in gold mines-as he
is reported to have done in the
Cherokee and Putnam mines in
Cherokee County, Georgia. This is q
bad example, but the General may
plead one of two excuses. He may
claim, and We believe with much truth
that the gold mine he has gone iuto is
30 low grade that he will not add much
to the worlds stock OF the traitor metal
and therefore his offenss will not result
in much evil; or he may claim that his
experience will probably lead to further
disgust with ;!.e metal and stimulate
the enmity of investors against the min
ing for gold. Notwithstanding the
admitted force of these suppoeititous
arguments, we still think it unfortunate
that so ardent an opponent of the vel
low metal should deliberately engage
in an effort to produce it. There are
rumors in the air that General Warner
has thrown silver over as well as gold
in his financial creed. and is advocating
fiat paper pure and simple, and perhaps
it is to emphasize this position that he
has engaged in gold mining.

A Sioux Falls Candidate,

would let the public guess as to the
name Of the gubernatorial candidate
they would have to 60 through almost
the entire list Of names in the city be-
fore they would be able to guess the
man who is now being groomed for this
place. He is a man who stands qnite
high in the business community OF the
city and who dabbles little in politics
but up to date has not done enough oil
it to hurt him very much. He is to be
the anti-gang candidate Of this county
according to the report and ii is the
intention Of the anti-Kittredge faction
Of the republicans to do their best to
pull him through. The man they are
grooming is John W. Tuthill, and if he
can possibly be carried through it is
the intention to name Fl. Ii. Keith for
supreme judge next year. The only
other candidate that is real prominent

Motor w agcn.

A Pierre special says: The parties in
this city who have been working upon
the project of putting a motor wagon
on the road between here and Rapid
City, have at last received assurances
that their wagon will soon be here.
There has been a great deal of delay in
securing the wagon, but it is prom
ised now by the middle Of the month.
There is a great deal of curiosity as to
how the wagon will work on the trail,
on which there are a number of sharp
grades, but it is guaranteed to work on
any grade which exists along the trail,
and if it proves the success which the
promoters expect of it there is great
deal of business for it on the line.

suit of this decision a great deal OF
litigation has been started over the vex.
ed question Of extra lateral rights, and
prospectors have expended thousands
Of dollars In perfecting their locations
to conform to the ideas of the court OF
last resort.
Now comes the verdict in the Niagara
Blackrock case which in effect is a reyer.
sal of the y-Silvsrsmith decision.
Under the findings in this case extra
lateral rights are preserved to the own
er OF the lode up to the poiLt where the
vein passes out Of his property through
the side line. 1t therefore follows that
extra lateral rights appertain to the vein
regardless of whether it passes through
the end lines or the side lines ola claim.
The possession Of the apex carries with
it these rights, and vein is lost to its
owner only when its apex leaves the
claim through an end line or side line

tor to trace the vein on the surface and
thus set his stakes with mathematical
precision.
While the decision ia the Niagara
Blackrock case may work hardship on
the defeated parties 20 the contest, in
as much as presumably they did busi-
ness under the rules applied to the
Amy silversmith proposition, it will
havea wholesome effect upon the min
ing industry in general. II is particu-
larly gratifying that the decision is an
affirmation of the position repeatedly
taken by the supreme court of Montana,
body in which frst-class judicial abil-
ty is literally tempered with practical
knowledge of the equities Of the mining
industry.

Terms For Peace.

Much has been said in reference to
the terms Of peace to be proposed by
the European nations to bring about a

administration in Washington were
given out, which according to Wash

With the present Issue we withdraw
from the position of editor Of the
CHRONICLE. We realize the feeling that
must in all cases be engendered in the
public mind when an infamous charge
Is preferred against a citizen, be the
citizen guilty or innocent. Our plea of
innocence is matter Of record, and
until that plea is fully sustained by a
just acquittal, and the cloud that is at
present hanging over US has been re-
moved, we deem 1t bnt proper to retire

the fact, that thus far we have only been

RUBY BASIN.


The solid mining companies of Ruby
Basin, although little is said of their
operations, are undoubtedly becoming
the most formidable institutions in the
Hills in the development of the mineral
resources. The successful mining of
silicious ore by these concerns gave en-
couragement to mine owners Of Law
renee county to develop large tracts Of
land which are now producing contin-
uously, making many localities that q
fewy ears ago were isolated and unin-
habited large and busy communities.
The beginning of work on the ore bod
les of Ruby Basin was in the year 1887,
but it was not until the successful de-
monstration of silicious ore treatment

Stocks and Bonds.

New York. March THE relations between the
United States and Spain caused apprehension in all
circles in Wall street to-day. That there were large
sales of securities by timid holders for the purpose
Of converting them into actual money was doubtless
true. but a large portion Of the selling was due to the
liquidation OF speculative holdings. which have been
strongly held through previous declines. but which
were thrown over to-day to realize what they would
bring. There were very palpable maneuvers also by
the bears to force the lowest possible range Of quota
lions at the opening, and their offerings to force down
prices and their purchases at the decline to cover
made up no small portion of the days business. In
this connection 1t is interesting 10 note that the OPEN

Later in the day the introduction Of Mr.. Cannon's
