THE EFFECT Of TAMPlNc.

l nave been very much interested in
several articles which have recently APP
peared in regard to tamr>ng giant pow
der in blasting rock. Now l know some
miners will say the holes break .ust as
we'll without tamping as with 1t; but,
after saying that tamping in the case
of giant powder does not mean hole
driven full Of shavings with a mallet, as
in the case of black powder, bat only
means hole full of water or soft mud
in fact anything which will make a
tight joint and increase the resistance
of the mouth of collar of the hole. l
will illustrate by a case in which lamp
ing proved very necessary:
When the U. S. government sold the
old cast iron cannon at Fort Point, San
Francisco, to replace them with modern
steel rifles. they We're bought by found
rymen to be melted up and recast into
other articles. They found that. how
ever, being made of the best cast iron
they We're quite difficult to reduce to a
size that would go into : furnace.
Now comes the man with the tamping:
a few pounds of giant pow
der on stick, let's the cannon down
into a hole in the ground lined with
others like it. pours the cannon full of
water, puts his powder inside the can
non, expodes it and finds the cannon in
Iieces that two men can handle.
Now, l do not say that more powder.
without the water tamping, May not
have broken the cannon the same way,
but this shows the increased rer ng eff

PLENTY OF COAL AND COPPER
Col. ]. A. Firch Says Things Look
Prosperous in the Upper CALLS
rim Raa,n

Col. j. A. Firch returned early in ths.
week from the Upper Gallatin basin.
where he is extensively interested in the
promising new copper prospects that bid
fair to make that district well know IL
mining center some day. He had ,hts
pockets and one or two grips loaded with
fine specimens.
The district is remote from the rail
road, being some fifty miles up the Gal
latin river from Bozeman. and not very
far from the National park. There are
several varieties of the ore in sight
sulphide and copper pyrtes being the
most common. No extensive work has
been done, but quite force Of men
are now making a thorough prospect to
determine the extent and value of the
deposits.

and there is said to be good reason to
believe that it WILL the company vii.

the long haul to the railroad. The coal
deposits on the Upper Gallatin, it is en-
pected, will furnish sufficient fuel to do
the smelling. s5.
Work on the coal deposits of that re-
gion is almost at standstill at pres
ent. The preliminary investigation has
not been as promising as the owners Of
the field could wish, though this does not
signify that the coal is not there. The
coal is of a good quality, what little has
been found, and all that is lacking is the
lucky man who will locate the main de-
posits.
The opening Of good coal and copper
mines would probably mean a new rail
road up the valley. and short cut tc

DOYLE HAS STRUCK IT RICH
A 4O-Foot Ledge Of Copper Ore on His
propertY,

Frank Doyle has received letter
from his brother John, who left Butte
two years ago to try his luck in the
north. Mr.. Doyle is mining six miles
from White Horse in Yukon territory,
and in the letter states that the district
is very promising. He has four quartz
claims through which a ledge 40 feet
wide passes. The pay shoot is not so
large. The ore carries gold and cop
per- the latter predominating. In fact
it might be termed copper ore. There is
some copper glance in the vein. Mr..
Doyle says he is developing two Of the
claims, and considering the work done,
both have a good showing One small
test shipment to Tacoma has been made.
A railway connects Skaguay anu
White Horse and a branch is being built
from the latter point to the mines.
Mr.. Doyle mined in this section many
years and is responsible for some of the
preliminary work in the largest mtR1s
in Butte. He Is also an old Black Hitler
having gone into that country early in
the gold excitement there.

MINING ON PATENTED LANDS,
Railroad Grants That Have Received
Patent are Proof Against Any
Land Office Classification

If the railroad land is patented, the IT,

On the land. Such patent can not be
questioned. except for fraud in obtaining
it, Only the attorney general of the
United States can bring an action to
cancel a patent based on fraud. The pa
tent itself is presumptive evidence that
there has been no fraud.
On patented railroad grant land there
may be mines, but there cannot be min
ing claims, as they are defined by the re-
vlsed statutes of the United States. The
mining claim is, strictlf speaking, a
grant of right to possession of and use of
tract of unpatented public land under
compliance with certain conditions, one
of which is assessment work. On patent
ed land the mining claim ceases to exist
as such, and with it's 'termina ton of ex-
lstence goes the necessity of compliance
with the condition provided for the pos
session and use of mining claims
Assessment work is not required on
mines on patented land, no matter what
kind Of land patent it is. If well
known mineral land is excluded from the
grant and never in fact becomes part of
it. On such land assessment work must
be done on mining claims.
If the land was not we'll known min

OIL PRODUCT NOT ALARMING
Demand for the Fluid Suficient to

1t is the opinion of well-informed men
that the cry about the over production
of Oil from all the great new fields dis
covered-in California, Texas Wyoming,
Nevada, and even here in Montana,
case Of groundless alarm. That the
quantity of oil now in the market is very
great, is admitted to be true. A few
years ayo it would have flooded the mar
ket. but nowadays. when oil is in so COM
mon use as a fuel. new discoveries are
considered almost imperative, from an
economical standpoint.
1t is in California that the use of o.,
as fuel Is being most rapidly developed
All the railroads of the state are using
oil, to some extent at least and the
Southern Pacific is having all it's engines
equipped as oil burners, by means Of
which it is expected to save in the
neighborhood of $5,OOO,OOO year in fuel
bills. Coal costs 81 per ton on the aver
age while its equivalent in oil costs but

conservative industries are now using Of
