The Montana Supreme Court has de-
cided that miners claiming extralateral al
rights must bear the burden of proof.
The decision holds that the owner of a
claim has prima facie right to the
whole of it: that a person entering
from an adjoining claim is a prima
facie trespasser. and, if he claims
rights because following the vein from
an adjoining claim, the burden of
proof is on him to Justify his trespass.

Cadmium is silvery white metal
somewhat harder than tin. Its usual
occurrence is as the sulphide, green
ockite, associated in small quantities
with zinc sulphide, sphaferite. Com
mercially the supply is obtained Incl
dentally in reducing zinc ores. In
smelling them the cadmium distills
over first, oxidizes, and forms brown
powder in the receivers. This is mixed
with charcoal and distilled, yielding
very pure metal.

Barren Zones.

In mining, an ounce OF proved fact
is worth a ton of improved theory.
There are many theories as yet un-
proved. There are, too, many sub
stantial facts, generally known now,
hat we're once improved theories. One
of these theories, concerning barren
zones, is fast becoming an established
fact. 1t is the old problem in new
phase. ''Do mines go down."
In the majority of cases there comes
a time in the development of mine
when zones barren of all ore are en-
countered. This generally OCCURS IN
the case of sulphide ores when VIII at
may be styled the permanent water
level is reached. and continues through
what may similarly be termed the ebb
and flow water line.
The theory here comes in that
through the seasons this permanent
water line rises and recedes, sometimes
in Times countless icons being higher
or lower than at others, the ore be-
coming decomposed and the ores being
leached out, new ore bodies meanwhile
forming containing no metallic value,
occasioning a barren zone. Another
theory takes up the dissolving of met
ais by hot alkaline water, carbonic
acid being present, which, meeting with
volcanic gases from below, would pre-
cipitate metals "along the lines OF
least resistance" thus again occasion
ing barren zones, the character of the
rock through which the vein in its en-
tirety passed not being throughout its
entire extent favorable to the disposit-
ion of ore.
The possession of sufficient nerve
and money has demonstrated the exist
ence of paying ore bodies below such
barren zones. Whatever the cause,
the theory that such barren zones
actually exist has passed into the stage
OF accepted fact, it having been found
that below such barren zones existed
ore of equal value with that above.
and that the permanent water line no
longer marked the limit of profitable
mining. The fact has been demon
strsted in deep mining in California,
Colorado and Montana, where some
of the best paying mines We're once
abandoned till modern mining methods
permitted deeper working. In Amador
county, Cal, the Kennedy gold mine,
one of the richest in the state, was
barren of all pay ore for nearly 20C
feet in depth. In Calaveras county
the great Gwin mine was once sold for
a song because OF the occurrence of a
barren zone. In Sierra county, Cal,
the Sierra Buttes mine was worked to
depth of nearly 5000 feet when a
''barren zone'' was encountered, and
this property, which once oper ated
ninety-six stamps and has record OF
SIS. 100000 output, is now abandoned.
In Montana the Comet-Rumley mine at
Comet, Jefferson county, was a big
silver-lead producer, when at a depth
of 1900 feet the ore gave out, but upon
sinking through the 'barren zone" ol
60 feet body of galena s feet wide
was found and the mines output was
greater than ever. The same condi-
tions are demoustrable in Cripple
Creek and elsewhere in Colorado o.
