AN IMPORTANT DECISION TO
MINES.

On January 81, Secretary of In.
terror Hitchcock decided one of the
most important mining questions
ever before the department. His de-
cision reverses the General Land
Office, which refused to grant patents
to the Hidee Gold Mining company
for the Marks, Hidee, Dale and Fay
lode mining claims embraced in the
Denver mining districts the patents
being refused because certain parts
OF the location lines of those claims
had been laid within or upon other
patented lode ciaims, namely the
Notaway, Meeker and Pittsburg
claims.
In his decision Secretary Hitch
cock states that the locators OF the
claims for which patents were re-
fused entered upon the patented
premises apparently without opposi
ton, and what was done by the
locators had the sanction and ap-
proval of the custom of many years
throughout the Western mining re-
gions. Property rights of fincalcula-
bic value depends upon maintenance
of the principle involved in such
custom and practice. Should this
custom be declared unlawful every
patent issued and dependent upon
it would be void.
"Extra-lateral underground rights
are often" the Secretary declares,
"the most valuable obtained by a
lode locotion. The statute requires
that end lines of a lode location shall
be parallel. Unless end lines or
portion of I ,em can be placed upon
other patent claims there will be
many tracts of mining ground lying
between irregularly shaped patented
claims to which the mining laws
will have no application. Unless
the locator can place the lines within
upon or across adjoining or interven
ing property of another he must
choose between the loss of the extra
lateral underground portion of the
vein.
"The exterior lines of location
are not iu themselves property, but
are mere boundaries or ins truments
OF description. They do not give a
right to all that is embraced within
them, but instead so much thereof
as is public land and subject to dis
position by the United States. Min
ing improvements may be placed
upon adjoining public or private
land and need not be upon the land
actually claimed. This is equally
true of location lines so long as
private proprietors do not complain.
The Secretary therefore direct that
patents shall issue for the claims
and states that the department, after
very careful considering the long es-
tablished custom and practi before
recited, finds ample support in the
in the law itself as well as in wise
public policy relative to the disposal
of the public mineral lands and
that departure therefrom at this
late day entailing necessarily i'm
mediate and widespread confusion
and uncertainty of titles to mining
claims would be altogether unfortun-
ate and without justification.

CANAL TREATY RUMOR.

A dispatch from London to the New
York Tribune says: American rumors
that the British foreign Office has sug.
gtsed basis for drafting new canal
treaty cannot be confirmed here. The
attitude OF Lord Lansdowne from the
on tset has been taken up deliberately.
As the Senate has not been considerate
OF British feeling, so also he has been
Indifferent to American sensitiveness,
but has remained silent and allowed
the canal treaty to lapse without pay
ing any attention 10 II. The English
press had not shown any interest in the
canal question. and consequently Lord
LsnsdOwne has considered it safe to
pass ii over as matter of no import
ance and thereby remind the American
Government that it ought to find out
what it wants before asking any foreign
power to grant gratuitous concession
10 a spirit OF neghborly accommoda-
ton. Lord Llnsdowne il not In an,
amisble state of mind, az has been
shown by his resentful attack upon
Lord WoIseley, but he is capable OF
gauging EOglish sentiment correctly on
foreign questions. There was real en-
thusissm 10 Eogland in favor of Ameri-
Ca during the Spanish war, but it has
cooled of. This is partly because
American opinion was divided during
the Boer war, but mainly because the
imperial movement has received a
great impulse from the loyalty dis
played by the colonies and because also
the German Emperor has proved a
Trustworthy and useful ally in heading
off European Intervention. The plain
truth is that German support is con.
sidered more helpful than American
good feeling, hence there is no DISPOSE
ton to make unnecessary coDcessi ons
to the United States either on the canal
question or the Msybrick case, which
has again been brought up by the pris-
oner's friends.
