An Arbitrary RuIInu,

The general land Office recently made
vor with New Mexico mining men. The
ruling requires that where the locator
is trying to develop a group Of claims
by sinking a single shaft he must do
$500 worth of work on each claim before
he can get a patent for them. 1t was
held by the land Office some time before
that that there must be an aggregate
amount of work done on a group rep
.resenting $500 for each claim: that is, in
the case of a man owning five claims
he would have to do 50, 500 in work, $500
for each claim. but could do all the
work on n claim, before patent could
issue. Now the land office goes further,
and rules that while this may do In
case of a tunnel. 1t will not suffice where
a shaft Is sunk, but that in such case
$500 worth of work must be done on,
not for, each claim. This ia a singular
distinction. and bears hard and UNJUST
ly on a good many who have been try
ing to comply with all the new rules Of
the land Office as fast as they are is
sued. There should be an executive de-
partment Of mines and mining whose
officials have had some training and
possess some knowledge of mining, and
then arbitrary rulings which work
hardship upon those developing the
mineral wealth of the country would
be made 30 frequently.

this industry was materially affected
because of the higher prices during the
latter part of the year, in general. a
continued search for the minor gems in
North Carolina, Maine, Connecticut and
other states.
The total value of the gems produced
last year was $185, 40, as compared with
$3.50, 800 in 1898, a gain of $21, $50, or 1512
per cent. For the first time in several
years diamonds were among the gems
produced in the United States, though
the amount was very small, only $500.
Turquois Is the gem of greatest total
value produced in this country, the 1899
product being valued at $4,000, while
sapphire was a close second, with a
product valued at $6S, 1000. Among the
other gems produced here in 1899 were
ruby, $4,000; beryl, $4,000; quartz ctasylr

$1,000; garnet, $1,000; chlorastrolite,
$1,000; anthracite, 1900, and c%atlinite,
$1,000. There has been a steady increase
in the value of the precious stones pro-
duced in the United States since 1896.
when the total value was $97 1850, to
$185, TO in 1899.

RECENT DECISIONS,
Mining Men Should Be Interested In These
Opinions Expressed By Courts.


A provision in a mining lease, that
failure by lessee to keep and perform
any of the covenants will render the
lease null and void, mot binding on ell
Their party" is for the benefit of the
lessor, who may either demand pay
ment for rent due or declare a forfeit

rear and declare a forfeiture.-Wheel-
ing vs.. Philips 90 Pennsylvania Superb
or Court Reports, 634), Superior Court
Of Pennsylvania.
Where a mining location Is made in
good faith, the locator should not be
held to a strict technical compliance
with the law in respect to his location
notice, and, If. by any reasonable con-
struction in view Of the surrounding
circumstances, the language employed
in the description will impart notice to
subsequent locators, 1t Is sufficient. For
such statute should be construed with
liberality, and the sufiiciency Of the
location, with reference to natural OBJ
jects or permanent monuments, Is sima
ply a question Of fact. Whether a min.
ing claim Is distinctly" marked on the.
ground, so that its boundaries can be
readily traced, within the meaning Of
the law, Is a question Of fact, to be de-
termined from proof, and the
of marking is not required to be stated
in the notice.-Farmington Gold Mining

In New York a novel experiment is
being made in taking children from the
Sums to farms where they are organ
lied into a Junior republic. The expert
ment is proving entirely successful, and
1t is a great lesson to note what a diff
ference in character a change of sur
roundings has upon the boys and girls,
who would m their old surroundings
have grown up In ignorance and crime.
The Junior republic is self-supporting,
which in itself should encourage every
state and territory to establish such a
home, where could be placed the chill
dren of criminal parents, or whose par
ents are neglecting them.

Railroad Progress.

1t is reported that the Colorado 4
Southern is negotiating for the Colora-
do Midland railroad. If it acquires this
property it will become a strong rival
of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad
in Colorado. and keen competition
will ensue. The Denver & Rio Grande
could reimburse itself for any prospect
i've loss in trade and rates by securing
more of the trade of New Mexico. 1t
should extend it's line from Santa Fe to
White Oaks and run a branch into
Bland. The trade to support such an
extension may not all be there to-day.
but trade follows the railroad even
more certainly than it follows the flag.
The Ell Paso & Northeastern was run
through a desert, and has developed a
good business. Indications point to i'm
mense progress in mining and In COM
merce in New Mexico during the next
ten years, and a railroad extension from
Santa Fe to White Oaks, or even to
Roswell, will in time become a most
valuable and profitable feeder to any
large railroad system.

Manufacturing Prospects.

Experts pronounce the brick made at
Socorro the best manufactured in the
west. Only a few days ago a contract
was received for 900, 900 brick for Albu-
querque, and Fl Paso's new houses are
nearly all being built of Socorro brick.
An analysis made at the New Mexico
school of mines at Socorro pronounces
the clay from which the brick are made
fully 10 per cent better material than
any yet found. Such is the statement
made at Socorro, but the New Mexico
penitentiary in this city manufactures
brick hat will bear comparison with
any brick manufactured anywhere
else. The penitentiary authorities at
present have orders on hand for 1000, 900
brick. These two examples indicate
what might be done in the manufacture
ing line in New Mexico, where raw ma
terial, such as wool, sugar beets, hides,
broom corn, canaigre, clay, iron, coal
and other products, are found at the
very doors of factories and mills, when
established.

New Mexico does a great deal for
higher education, and there are some
people in this territory who affect to
sheer at this effort Of the common
wealth to give Its young people a chance
of obtaining a good education at a
minimum cost. Statistics published re-
Gently show that one out of every forty
graduates Of colleges has attained such
pre-eminent success in life that his
name has attained a permanent place In
biographical dictionaries, while the
general average of people attaining
such honor and success in the United
States is only m in ten thousand.

schools Is money we'll invested.
