Cost of Mineral Surveys in Arizona.

! obtain from the U. s. surveyor general an order for an official survey by one of his thirty or forty U- s. deputy mineral surveyors, located throughout Arizona. The cost of the work in the surveyor generals office is as follows:
 Lode claims, each location, $50.
 Placer claims, each location, $35.
 Each millsite, S30.
 For each millsite included in one survey with a lode claim, s15; should an amended order issue an additional deposit will be required.
 The applicant for mineral sur veys deposits the above amounts with the nearest United States de- Lository, for which he receives a duplicate and triplicate certificate. The duplicate is sent to the sur veyor general by the claimant, together with a certified copy of the location notice. The surveyor gen. eral transmits as a basis of survey this location notice to the deputy mineral surveyor named by the claimant to make the survey; also his official order to make the sur vey. This order gives the numer- ical number of the survey, by which it is always known, and which number is marked on the corners by the deputy.
 What the claimant pays the dep uty whom he secures to make the survey, and names to the surveyor general, is a matter of private con tract between the claimant and the deputy. Ten dollars per diem is regarded as fair compensation.
 The surveyor general always ap- points enough good surveyors, U. s. deputy mineral surveyors, to prevent any one or a few men hay ing a monopoly on this kind of work In fact, the surveyor gen eral never declines to appoint on proper application, any good, com petent surveyor of good character, a U- S. deputy mineral surveyor.
 Before entering upon the dis charge of his duties, however, a U. s. deputy mineral surveyor gives a $10,0O0 bond as a guarantee of the faithful performance of his official duties as a surveyor.
 After obtaining a copy of the plat and transcript of the field notes of mineral survey from the sur veyor general. the claimant or mine owner, takes them to the U. s. local land office, and in sixty or ninety days gets final receipt for a pat ent, after which it is not nec- essary to do any more annual assessment work on the claims. not even for the calendar year during 1 which he receives the receipt of entry from the register and receiver of the local land office.-Phoenix Democrat.

as a Day of Thanksgiving AID
Prayer.
The following proclamation has
been issued by President Roosevelt,
designating Thursday, November
9th, as day of Thanksgiving:
Bv the President of the United States
OF America:
According to the yearly custom of
our people, it falls upon the Pres
ident at this season to appoint Il
day of festival and Thanksgiving to
God.
Over a century and quarter has
passed since this country took its
place among the nations OF the
earth, and during that time we have
had on the whole more to be thank
full for than has fallen to the lot OF
any other people. Generation after
generation has grown to manhood
and passed away Each has had to
bear its peculiar burdens, each toface
it's special crisis. and each has known
years of grim trial, when the country
was menaced by malice, domestic or
foreign levy, when the hand OF the
Lord was heavy upon it in death or
food or pestilence, when i'll bodily
distress and anguish of soul it paid
the penalty OF the foil V and forward
heart. Nevertheless, decade by de-
cade. We have struggled onward and
upward. we now abundantly enjoy
material well-being, and under the
favor of the Most High we are striv
inc earnestly to achieve moral and
spiritual uplifting. The year that
has Just closed has been one OF peace
and Overlooking plenty. Rarely has
| any people enjoyed greater prosper
ity than we are now enjoying. For
this we render heartfelt and solemn
thanks to the Giver OF good; and we
seek to praise Him not by words only
but by deeds. by the way i'll which We
do our duty to ourselves and to our
| fellowmen.
Now. therefore, |. Theodore Roose-
welt. President of the United States.
do hereby designate as day OF gen
eral Thanksgiving, Thursday, the
twenty-seventh day of the coming
November. and do recommend that
throughout the land the people cease
from their ordinary occupations, and
in their several homes and places OF
worship render thanks unto Al
mighty God for the manifold bless
ings OF the past year.
In witness whereof | have hereuntO
set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed
Done at the City of Washington,
this Doth day OF October, in the .yeal

ence of the United States the one
