An exchange gives the following
wholesome advice to mining claim
owners: If you have piece of
mining property and your neighbor
alongside has another; if you cannot
develope or sell your own, do not be
afraid to help your neighbor dispose
of his. Every mine opened up in
the country increases the valne of
every other mine or prospect. If
you can't sell yours today, good
mine opened alongside of it will
help to dispose of it at some future
time. 1t won't help the value of
yours to cry down that of your
neighbor.

MONTANA LEADS.

Montana, in the light of present
progress is soon to take first place in
the union in the production of min
eral wealth. Never in the history of
the northwest has the mining outlook
been clothed with more alluring,
tempting promises. And never in
her history has this state shown such
enormous production in all classes Of
minerals. Notwithstanding the fact
that, by reason Of the great depres-
sion in the value of silver, almost all
the silver mines are closed, the an
nual production of mineral wealth in
Montana is crowding upon the $75,-
100000 mark. These astonishing
figures show Montana to be far
ahead of the Klondike in mineral
yield, and the future of the state is
as bright as the dawning glory Of a
second Golconda.

The question of the right of an
original locator to relocate a mining
claim upon which he has failed to
perform the required assessment
work, or to place an equivalent in
Improvements, according to law is an
important one. This question came
up before the supreme court of Utah
and the court decided that an origin
al locator has such right. 1t is rec
ognized fact that prior locator may
renew his location by resuming work.
While the court in this instance rec -.
ognizes the right of the prior locator
to relocate, it should be understood
that it also requires that assessment
work should not only be resumed
but completed in order to assure pos
session.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Anti-expansion papers are saying
that it is shame to send so many
soldiers to the Philippines, and in
the next breath explaining that it is
a shame to send so few. This only
illustrates the principle that poor ar
gument is better than none, and a
kick is a kick whether effective or
not.

up a big mine. About a month
ago he secured an option upon
this property from the owner, j.
M. Longyear, OF Marquette, and
started tcstpitting. After pene'
trating five feet OF surface with
his first pit he met with hard
jasper. This same condition
had been met with twelve years
ago by Mr.. Whittlesy, Of Flor
ence, who did a lot of exploring
upon the same property finding
nothing but jasper and finally
throwing his option up IN dis
gust. Mr.. McCusllcr had
worked upon the property IN an
early day and when he met the
jasper he decided TO sink in it.
Accordingly he continued the pit
down seven feet in this material
when he came upon as nice and
clean ore can be found anywhere
in the district. He continued
sinking in the ore until he
reached a depth of nine feet
which convinced him that the ore
went down" and he started out
to find something of the width.
He put down another pit twenty
feet south and last night he
had this pit downinto the ore
after meeting the same condi.
tons that he had met in the first
one.
An analysis of the ore found
shows 64.O0 iron and $50 phos:

lative location Of this eXplora
