Silicosis is the latest medical
term applied to the disease COM
monty known as miners con-
sur9ption. This disease is large
ly caused by dust, though bad
air contributes not a little to it's
progress when once it gets foot
hold in the system. It is more
prevalent, of course, in dry
mines for obvious reasons; there
being no dust to speak Of in wet
workings. "'The extent to which
the disease RACES among miners

common enough on the Pacific
coast, and is among the most
powerful arguments urged in be-

Elsewhere we publish a COM
m~unication to the Mining Re-
porter, of Denver, Colorado, from
the secretary of the Mine Opera
tors Association of Colorado,
dealing with the various patent
decisions of the general land Of
flee from 1899 to the present
time, and which is self eXplana-
tory.
While the miners of this imme-
date section have no direct in
terest in the controversy at this
time, they are almost sure to in
the very near future or when a
township survey is made, which,
in all probability, will be done
the coming summer, and should
it prove as seems to be the case
in Colorado, that section corners
are not correctly established, it
will naturally follow that deputy
u. S. mineral surveyors ties will
be also erroneous. Those town.
ship surveys are usually made
under contract, and most of us
know with what unholy glee and
stern satisfaction the average
contractor, of whatsoever breed,
skins his Uncle Samuel, skipping
his work and, if a land surveyor,
scatter his section and township
corners around with reckless
prodigality, although his field
notes as sent to the surveyor
general are probably alright.
1t was bad enough, and vexa-
tious to a degree, under the old
rule, where the land office went
behind the returns, in case of an
error, and acknowledged the
ground actually within the stakes
or monuments. But when the
commissioner, in the plentitude
of his wisdom, takes, as he did
in Colorado, a patented claim
with a title of twenty-five years
standing and which seems to
have been a dividend payer, and
not only theoretically but in fact,
insofar as the owner is concern
ed, it from within its prescribed
boundaries and moves it several
hundred feet and declares the
ground within said boundaries
public land, or perhaps moves a
wildcat a mile or two and bland
ly covers a producing claim with
it, he brings about a condition of
things by the side of which Don
Quixote's adventures were as
functions Of state, the gravity Of
which cannot be adequately
measured.
We have had occasion at var
ious times to comment at some
length upon the unique brand of
humor peddled out by the land
Office and interior department,
from time to time and upon var
ious subjects, and which are
gravely announced by the gentle
men of the departments as de-
cisions, but never before, even
in our most censorious mood,
have we felt justifedin condemn
ing those good men as subjects
fit for the foolish house,.
We take from another source
advice as given in a commission
er's letter, dated June IL, 1899,
recommending the following pro
ceedure. We quote: Where
such a state of things (referring
to conditions as set forth in said
Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1904-02-20
The LAND OFFICE AND THE MINER

circular) actually exists, the
owner of the new claim applied
for who desires to include an
area in his claim conveyed in a
patent of an older claim, which,
as a matter Of fact, is not en-
braced in the lines of the old
claim, as staked upon the ground,
should procure the surrender of
the old patent, by the prior
method, through the courts if
necessary, and then show in a
new patent of the old claim its
true position as staked, and thus
eliminate from the patent the
areas desired not toconhict."
Thus it appears that a claim
owner, whose claim has been
moved about, and perhaps given
"nilly nilly" to another party,
who, by the way, does not want
it, is placed under the necessity
of suing for restitution from
those parties who are holding it
through no fault or desire of
theirs-like the Irishman who
caught the bear-and who dare
not relinguish, simply because
the department says the claim
really belongs within the lines
they thought was occupied by
their own claim, and which is,
according to the commissioner,
probably cavorting around on the
bailiwick of some other hardy
prospector, who will find cause
to wish he had died before it es-
capped from its owner.
But the humor of the situation
does not appeal to the Mining
Reporter, of Denver, which re-
marks upon it rather forcibly.
We quote: WAS there ever
more monstrous advice given ire
ferring to the letter of June II,
'99) by a government official?
Suppose the owner Of an old pa
tent refused to throw his title in
to court, as it is almost certain,
what redress has the claimant,
other than to start an individual
suit against the owner Of the old
patent and after carrying it from
court to court, possibly have q
decision rendered against him on
a technicality?"
While it is almost certain that
no court of equity in the United
States would sustain the land Of
fee in it's present attitude, it is
almost as certain that there
would creep into mining juris-
prudence from such litigation
new elements and innovations
which might be as dangerous tc
the industry as the departments
rulings only from a different
direction. This the department,
in effect, admits, by its position
in refusing to accept an adverse
decision as being a precedent ex-
cept in cases which have exactly
the same points and merits, E
proposition that is impossible tC
meet without appalling expense.
In our opinion there is only one
safe course for the mining states
to follow, and which will for al
time settle those vexatious ques.
tions, if successful, and that is
an united effort looking to the
enactment of a law for the estab-
ment of a department Of mines
equal in rank with the other
governmental departments, and
