 Reports come from Lynx creek tc the effect that at the bottom of the
 shaft being sunk by F. E. WaDn, or
 the Favorite mine, which he is work.
 ing under bond there, is a solid body
 of ore six feet in width. The shaft
 Is 200 feet deep, and the ore is oi
 good grade.
 Later reports from the strike re-
 gently made m the Senator mine,
 mention of which was made several days ago, are to the effect shat the ore runs away up in the thousanns of dollars per ton, and the ore body
 is said to be ten inches wide. It is SO
 rich that, it IS stated, guard has
 been placed over it when it is not
 being worked.
 A wonderfully rich and extensive copper strike has been made on the
 Montgomery lode, near Globe, by the Black Warrior Copper Company of which James A. Fleming, of Phe nix. is president. It is said that there are already 5000 tons of ore in sight of an average value of SI0 a ton. Mir. Fleming believes, from in- dicatIons. that when the amount in sight has been exhausted. the re- moval of the ore body will have only begun. Twenty tons are daily sent to the Buffalo shelter at Globe. The-strike has created an interest in Globe, amounting to an excitement. It IS visited every day by a large number of people who Dever saw so much ore in body.
 At the mining congress to be held in Salt Lake next month it is pro- posed to take the initiative towards securing change of section 1924 of the revised statutes iD regard to foffeltures. The section now reads as follows:
 Upon the failure of any oue of several co-owners to contribute his proportion of the expenditures re- q aired hereby, the co-Owners who have performed the labor or made the improvements may, at the ex- Piration of the year, give such de- llnquent cO-owners personal notice m wiring or notice by publication Tn the newspaper published nearest the claim, for at least once a week Tor ninety days, aud if at the expira- lion of ninety days after such no- tice m writing or by publication such delinquent should fail ur re- fuse contribute his proporiion of the expenditure required by this section, his interest shall become ! the property Of h:s co-owners who have nIade Ihe required expendi- lures"
 The purpose of the section is per Lectly plain. The fact is recognized that until development is accom- Dlished a mining claim is practically falueless, and tbat if a eo-owner de- ,lines to pay his share of expenses necessary to make the claim valuable | ne IS entitled to nothing. Rut the working is indefinite. Upon the ace of the law it appears that the 'orfeiture follows immediately upon he expiration of the notice bv pub iestion, as it is evident that the aw intended to give the delinquent 70 owner ninety days in which to make good his delinquency, but the .ourts have held that the notice is lot complete until the end of ninety lays of publication and that the is entitled 70 ninety days hereafter. Another point is what onstitutes the legal notice and 1t is eld by the courts that the pub sher must make affidavit that the otice has been continuously pub shed in his paper and that the aper IS the nearest to the mine by he usual travelled route. Mining ( len are of the opinion that the lSO avs allowed under the ruling of he courts, works hardship by hay lg a tendency to check development ' 'r that period Of time, and that the 'rfeiture would follow immediately the end of the publication of the 1tice. Many favor the shortening ! the period of publication to sixty ] lys. which is the time required for P e publication of an application for e patent. c
