sure, tend to protect the game in
the state of Idaho"
The Mining News admits in
advance the right of any man
owning a newspaper to publish
in the columns of that paper any
and all foolishness which may,
for the time, find sanctuary in
his dome of thought; he may
even dignity some of those
thoughts with the name of opin-
ions, without serious inconven-
fence to his fellow man. But
when he demands the crystaliza-
ton of those phantasies into law
through legislative enactment he
becomes a fit subject for legiti-
mate criticism, inquisitorial and
direct.
To that end the Mining News
asks why should the prospector
be made to take out special IL
cense for hunting? AS it is, I'M
der this head. he enjoys no priv
ileges not accorded other citizens.
And while on the subject we
would like to ask why should the
prospector be required to buy a
hunters license at all? He is not
a hunter of game, the game he
kills is part of his daily bread, it
is, in the very nature of things,
impossible for him to carry along
a we'll equipped larder, he must
of necessity depend upon his
rifle for his meat. For that mat
ter why should any citizen of the
state be required to have a IL
cense for hunting? The law re-
quiring it is anarrow and bigoted
enactment, worthy of a central
and narrow minded policy, ex-
cusable only as applied to those
not citizens of the state.
AS for the prospector all he
asks of any man or policy is to
be let alone, but judging from
the amount of attention he is re-
ceiving from embryo statesmen,
it will soon be necessary to pass
laws for his protection or he will
become extinct.

In a recent editorial on the
protection of game the Grange
vile Free Press, among other
things, has this to say "A law

prospectors' hunting license and
a reasonable charge made there
for, which license would be good
in any county in the state. We
think that some changes as sug-
gested would, in a great mea-

patented land has grown out OF
our absurd system OF mining
laws, which are generally con-
coded to be the worst in any I'M
portant mining country. Those
who have had experience in Brit
ish Columbia and Mexico gener-
ally concede that the mining
laws of those countries are Tar
ahead, for the purpose of practi-
cal mining, of those of the
United States.
1t is unquestiopable that fixity
or certainty of tenure is most I'M
portant to any industry. AT
present there is a great uncer-
tainty as to mining titles, and
there is a threatening mass OF
litigation to determine the rights
of owners of patented mining
claims. Such a state of affairs
as this strikes at the very root of
the industry, and it would seem
to us that the efforts of the min
ing industry should, at this time,
be concentrated on getting such
measures through Congress as
may be needed to remedy this
state of affairs. The Teller bill,
which was reprinted in a recent
issue of the Mining Reporter,
will undoubtedly do much, if it
will not settle the question COM
pletely, to straighten out the
tangle which has grown up out
of the very lax methods that
have prevailed in the past in the
patenting of mining claims, and
on this bill efforts should be con-
centrated SO that this, at least,
may pass through the house and
reach the president, who will I'M
doubtedly sign it and make it
effective in law. We cannot
urge to strongly on our readers
that they should take this matter
UP personally, and by writing
to the representatives in Con-
gress secure for the bill the uni
ted support of the western sena-
tors and representatives in this
present Congress. If such is
done, there is great hope of hav-
ing the measure pass. Without
this there is but little chance of
the getting through. The indus
try cannot afford to have the
present state of affairs remain
for an indefinite period.

The TELLER BILL.

The Mining Reporter, Of Den
yer, in an appeal to the western
congressman on behalf of the
Teller bill, the gist of which was
published in the last issue of the
Mining News as taken from the
Mining Reporter, has this to say:
There is before the present
congress a rather unusual amount
of mining legislation. Much of
the legislation is desirable, and
valuable to the industry at large.
1t is question, however, if the
c9ngested state of business in the
house of representatives will per-
NIT any of this legislation going
through. In view of this condi-
ton of affairs it would seem to
us highly desirable that the
western congressman who have
mining bills under their charge
should agree to sacrifice some of
those measures and should con-
centrate their efforts on securing
the passage of at least one mea-
sure. 1t is hard, of course, to
pick out the measures that should
be sacrificed. Each congress-
man in charge Of a specific mea-
sure naturally sees good reason
why his measure should be the
one that should be united upon.
However, in view of the impos-
sibility of getting all the mea-
sures through, and the possibility
of getting at least one through,
it would seem to us that loyalty
to the interests of the Industry
should induce western congress
men to do something, and that
can be done by uniting on one
measure.
The fact that so much legisla-
ton is now before congress is an
index to public opinion on our
mining laws. There are very
few of those who have given any
consideration to the subject who
dc not believe that our mining
laws need a complete revision.

tory judicial rulings and the UNI

on the public domain. A statement we
of the Bitter Root reserve know to be
absolutely without foundation in fact;
and further, Mr.. Pinchot is, and has
been for six weeks, in possession of
affidavits from number of the best
citizens of the various mining districts
on the reserve, all of which contradicts
his assertion. The forester may urge in
extenuation that such WAS the original
intent of the government, and perhaps
it may have been; but of what avail is
that when such is not the practice of
the government representatives on the
ground. Further, settlers and others
are not allowed free all the timber they
use. The prospector, under the rules of
the Bitter Root reserve, is allowed one
hundred dollars worth of timber outside
the lines of his claim, which would be
scarcely enough to build cabin; fur
Their, the legality of his claim is decided
so far as the reserve officials are con-
cerned, by an attache known as a ran
ger, body of men recruited from the
agricultural districts or towns, and
hence are utterly untitled, by lack of
experience, for many of the minor du-
ties of his position, not to mention those
of mining expert. 1t is only fair to add,
however, that this ignorance is not con-
fined to the rangers, it is reasonably
safe to say, many Of these gentlemen,
from superintendent down to the last
joined third class man, is unqualified by
experience or training of any kind, to
distinguish the difference between min
eral bearing rock and patent breakfast
food. We are, of course, free to admit
that the sense of taste is at their dis
posal; it is also conceivable, it would be
freely used in both cases. This paper
does not refer to these technical short
comings on the part of these men in
spirit of censure, but merely to show
them if possible the absurdity of their
and Mr.. Pinchot's pretentions as ad-
noi,ict 20 tiva officare
AS to the proposed new legislation we
of the mining camps. in the light of
past experience, expect little good
therefrom.
And finally, Mr.. Pinchot, it is not the
law we distrust, it is the administration
of it at the hands of mere theorists,
such as, for instance, yourself, or men
appointed for purely party service, such
for instance, as Major Fem.
These are the factors which the peo-
pie distrust, and with reason. The pro-
posed legislation so gleefully announced
as giving more authority to local offic-
ers, is in our opinion the gravest dan
ger which has menaced us yet. If, for
example, Mr.. Fem, hampered by red
tape as it is claimed he was, was still
able to secure approval of the Interior
to the diabolical rules and
regulations he sought to fasten upon
this community, what might not that
experimental demon of his do if granted
less restraint? Mr.. Pinchot, if he will
seek disinterested advice, will find the
people of the west better informed on
the many phases of the forest reserve
pipe dream" than his bureau is.

A Difference of Opinion.


elsewhere, Clifford Pinchot, Chief
Forester for the Department of
Agriculture, says, among other
things: Before any discussion
of the forest reserve question in
the West there should be a clear
understanding of the govern
ment's policy in creating and
managing these reserves.
Through ignorance of this policy,
possibly justified in some measure
by occasional mistaken interpre-
tations Of it by over-zealous or
incompetent officials, many citi-
zens have objections to reserves
which they would be first to
drop, if they understood the true
situation.
We have no means of knowing
at this time how long Mr.. Pinchot
has been identified with the for
est reserve movement, therefore
we have no means of gauging
the relative depth Of his igno-
rance or knowledge Of the insti-
tuition as bearing upon the well
fare of the people most con-
cerned. True we have the gen.
tleman's own testimony to the
effect that he is "wised up" on
the proposition. He assures us
with great and ever increasing
frequency that he is convinced"
that forest reserves are a good
thing for everybody, but, wheth-
er designedly or not, he persist
antly refrains from enlightening
us as to by what process of rea-
soning or observation he arrives
at that enviable frame of mind.
Now we of the Bitter Root re-
serve have had an opportunity
extending over a period of six
years, for observing any benefit,
however small, which might &C.
crue to the people, of whatever
calling, aside from reserve a.
gents, and the result is the peo-
pie are bending every energy to
secure its final elimination.
AS to Mr.. Pinchot's claim that
the forests are protected from
fire by the ridiculous farce of the
fire patrol, consisting of one ran
ger to thousand square miles,
it is enough to say that it dispos-
es of or at least weakens that gentle
mans claim to intelligent understanding
of the subject on his part, whether this
ignorance is owing to defective chan
nels for obtaining information or natur-
al obtuseness of intellect does not mat
ter; man who claims so much for a
theory as does Mr. Pinchot should be
prepared to furnish quality of evil
dence which does not insult peoples
intelligence. AS to the fear that enter
prising lumbermen will secure all the
timber and ship it out of the state, it
is on par with his faith in the fire pa
troll, as any state has the right to pro
tect its resources from extinction,
therefore we are convinced the state
will prove better guardian of timber
than the bureau of forestry, for the
reason the state is more directly inter
ested and on the ground, as it were,
hence in position to act with creates
effect and intelligence.
Mr.. Pinchot makes the further state
ment in his interview: Prospecting
and locating of mining claims are in no
way interfered with by reserve regula-
tions, for mining laws apply exactly as

material. In the case OF meats, q. G..
Cross, OF this city, again secured the
contract at $79S per hundred pounds,
as against $3.50 last January, and
$500 last July. The increase over
last summers bid is due to the fact
that in summer stock was much
cheaper range cattle being available
for the use OF meat markets, while
the contract for the next six months
will have TO be filled with stall-fed
stock, which is necessarily much high.
