IMPORTANT MINING DECISION

For years it has been the accepted theory
among the miners Of Colorado that the To-
Gators and developers OF tunnel sites and
tunnels were entitled to the ore veins and
bodies of ore encountered in the prosecu-
tion Of the tunnel work, and possessed the
right to mine such ores throughout the
full width Of the ground claimed under the
long way of the tunnel location. Courts
have been unfolding this theory, but it
was overturned by the Colorado State
Supreme Court on November 81.
The court decided that where a tunnel
site crossed prior locations, the owners Of
such prior locations are entitled to all
mineral within the limits of the site and all
lines of such prior locations but which
may be developed or disclosed by the
tunnel operations.

water and Gas stock. Dropping.

1t may be interesting, If not pleasing, for
some Of our people to know that Spring
Valley Water stock and the San Francisco
Gas & Electric Light stock are on the drop,
and seem to be doing it in a hurry. The
cause is assigned to the adoption Of the
new charter for San Francisco, which de-
clares the policy of the city to acquire,
gradually, all public utilities, and it seems
to be the general impression that water and
gas will be the first to be secured. The
latest quotations, taken from Wednesdays
San Francisco papers, show that Spring
Valley has come down to S94 %, and the
San Francisco Gas & Electric Light to
S52 so. They have been as high as SOB
and 500, respectively, this year.

Electric Lights.

Quite a number of our citizens
have been discussing lately the
practicabiIity of erecting an electric
light plant in Bolivar. Some favor
making it a private enterprise, and
have expressed a willingness to take
stock; others prefer that it be oper-
ated by the town.
One Of our citizens, interested in
the matter, has handed us a recent
issue of the Burke County On. c.
News, published at Morganton, a
town of about 1000 inhabitants,
containing an article relative to the
subject, from which we learn that
Morganton has private plant, and
that the corporation is considering
the issuance of bonds for its pur-
chase. As an experiment, the town
operated the plant for two months,
to see whether or not it would pay
to buy it. The committee appoint
ed on the part of the corporation
submitted a report, showing, from
figures taken from the town Treas
urer's books, that the net cost to
the town per month for all of It's
street lamps, was only Sl2.35;
whereas they had formerly paid to
the company $s3.3S per month.
The report further states that it is
expected that receipts from private
consumers will soon be sufficient to
pay all the running expenses of the
plant and interest on bonds should |
they be issued; hence the town will |
get its street lights free. Ia view
of the above facts, the committee
recommends the purchase of the
plant, and urges the citizens TO vote
for the bond issue.
Why cannot we have an electric
plant? Bolivar Is enjoying a steady,
healthful growth-new business
houses and residences are being
built, new citizens are moving in,
real estate is advancing and the fu-
ture of the town generally is bright.
But we must keep pace with our
sister cities in the way of public
improvements. Many towns of less
wealth and smaller population than
Bolivar have electric light plants in
uccessful operation.
