to know it. They do not want to de-
velop the ground, in the dark as to title.
If patents have not been issued to the
company, steps will be taken to pre-
vent their issuance, as there is now no
question that the lands are mineral.
The impression prevails among
many of the miners that the land grant
act onvey the alternate sections to
the railroad company, reserving the
mineral rights. This is an error. The
act passes absolute title to all lands
not known to be mineral at the time
the selections were made, and if patents
were issued, they cover mineral as well
as surface rights the acts providing that
where the railroad sections are mineral
the company shall have the right to Sc
lect lands in lieu thereof anywhere out
side Of the belt covered by the grant.
Mr.. Irving says that the whole
country in the valley southwest of Tie
Siding is underlaid with a copper de.
post, which occurs in a contact between
lime and granite, the mineralized zone
being composed of sandstone. a kind
of lime and ~porphyry breccia, or con-
glomerate, the latter bearing a strong
resemblance to the Lake Superior de-
posits. A number of Michigan men
have recently been on the ground and
were highly pleased with the situation,
which, they say, ONE nearer to that
of the Michigan mines than anything
else they have have seen outside that
state, the nuggets being from the size
of shot to 20 or 80 pounds in weight. A
considerable quantity Of copper glance
is also found. running from 40 u 60
per cent copper.
The Anaconda is now down SO feet.
and has already shipped a carload Of
high class ore. mostly native, and is
being sunk with a force Of sixty men.
The Copper King was ready to COM
mence shipment when the shaft caved,
and a new shaft is being sunk with a
force of three men.
The Doyle shaft is located close to
the railroad track, where the cutoff is
being built, and at % feet has opened
a four foot body of high grade ore.
The Noble shaft, owned by Mr.. No
BILE of Boulder county, is down IS feet.
and is being sunk further. the owner
having decided to go down 100 feet.
Mr.. Edmiston is sinking two shafts
land pushing work rapidly with a strong
force Of men.
Edward Knowles is down 20 feet in
good ore, and announces his intention
to sink 100 feet.

TIE SIDING COPPER
ATTITUDE OF RAILROAD COM
PANY SAID TO BE RETARD-
ING DEVELOPMENT.
NJ. E. Irving Tells the Denver Republic
can All About the Situation at Tie
Siding and Gives a Good Account
of the Possibilities Of the Dis
trict.

This mornings Denver Republican
contains the following:
The recent discoveries of high grade
copper heal Tie Siding, Wyo., continue
to attract attention, but NJ. E. Irving
says that a complication of titles is
threatened by the fact that the discov-
cries are inside the railroad belt and the
attitude of the Union Pacific Railroad
company. Mr.. Irving says that a dill
gent search of the county records fails
to disclose any recorded patents except
for two sections along the entire course
of the belt, and the general impression
appears to be that the alternate sec
lions granted to the railroad company
have not yet been patented.
He also says that in selling the and
the company claims the right to reserve
the mineral, which seems to indicate
that patents have been issued, burt not
recorded, as, under the provisions OF
the land grant act, known mineral land
is excluded from the operation Of the
la W, and unless the Tallrodu lauus ha'e
been patented the company would have
the right neither to make. restrictions
nor to dispose of the land in any way.
Whatever may be the situation, the I'M
certainty regarding titles is greatly re-
Harding development, and the miners in
the district, most of whom are from
colorado, will hold a meeting in a few
days for the purpose of laying the mat
tier before the secretary of the interior,
and securing accurate information re-
garding the status Of the land. The
matter will also be laid before Con-
gresham %Shafroth, with a request that
he communicate with the secretary OF
the interior regarding the matter. Mr..
Irving says that there is no feeling
against the railroad company, provided
it has the government title, as it is felt
the company will grant liberal terms to
the miners, for the sake of having the
mineral deposits opened, and thus Sc
cure business for the railroad, but il
