To THE VOTERS OF NoaALEs:

To THE VOTERS OF NoGALEs:
Since the Incorporation of the Town
of Nogales. this company has been
erecting poles and stringing wires with
out legal ri sht SO to do. In maxim g
our application for a franchise, we are
but requesting that this legal permits
sion be granted US to continue to erect
poles and string wires on the streets of
the Town of Nosales. In our applica-
ton, we do not ask for a franchise
that will exclude any other Electric
Light Company or Gas Company
from erecting a plant and doing bust
ness in Nogales. The granting of sach
a franchise would not only be unla wful
but unconstitutional A franchise
that does not exclude and that contains
ample provisions for the protection OF
the interests of the citizens, is in no
sense a monopoly.
A careful persual of our application,
the provisions of which received but
slight alteration by the Town Council,
will show that the interests of the
citizens are fully protected. We
would have the right to erect only one
line of poles on the streets of the Town
thereby protecting the Town against
the pole nuisance" SO prevalent in
other Towns; we are limited in the
price we can charge for lights and
when our rates become unreasonable,
the Town Council is given the right to
protect the citizens against such un-
reasonable charges. The erection of
our poles and the stringing of wires is
to be directly under the supervisio" of
the Council thus protecting against
obstruction of the streets or the erec-
tion of unsightly poles.
We are giving the best service fur
nished the inha bitants of any Town in
Arizona We intend to make large
expenditures in further improving that
service. Unless we are granted this
franchise, what assurance have we
that the money spent and to be spent
in the improvement and betterment of
our Electric Lighting system will not
be in peril of becoming a vain expen
diture!
We ask a careful consideration of
these points by the citizens of Noga-
les.

A New Process.

]. B. Rossman and A. P. Hen
erickson of st. Paul were in camp
this week exhibiting a new pro-
cess for extracting gold. The
process as exhibited seems simple
and effective, the pulp being sub
jected to a chemical wash, after
which quick" was added, the
whole then being thoroughly ag-
itated, after which the amalgam
was retorted, leaving nothing but
the gold. 1t is understood that
it is not claimed that the baser
metals are destroyed in the pro-
cess, but are merely separated
from the gold. In fact it looks
very attractive until the question
of royalty is brought in. Fifty
percent is asked for treating all
ores ranging in value from So per
ton to $25 per ton; above $25 ore,
$12. so per ton is exacted. A
bond is requested running for 15
years from each claim owner
guaranteeing a stipulated tonnage
for that period, which would seem
to justify the assumption that the
new process will sink to condi-
ton of ''inocous desuetude. "

NEW ROAD TO HUMP
Legislature Will Be Asked to
Expend $4,000.
George L. Hedges Has a Scheme to
Consolidate His Three Proper
ties in the Hump.

MY plan always has been and
still is, to bring about a consol-
idatipn of the companies owning
the Luckily Lad, the Liberty Bell
and the Buffalo Lake properties
in the Buffalo Hump camp" said
George L. Hedges, manager for
all three properties, who arrived
in the city this week.
"The Buffalo Lake property
adjoins the Big Buffalo mine, and
the Liberty Bell and Lucky Lad
adjoins the Buffalo Lake. They
should all be worked together
through one tunnel.
"The whole trouble with the
Buffalo Hump camp is that while
nearly every claim shows good
free values on top, these do not
hold out, and after a depth of so
or 100 feet is reached the values
turn to base with silver.
THE solution to the camp is a
smelter.
"The most needed improve
ment at present is a good wagon
road. The present one is open
only about two months in the
year. A wagon road 80 miles
long could be built from Harpster
up the Clearwater river to the
Hogan property, where it will
intersect the present road be-
tween Elk City and the Hump.
such road could be built at g
cost of $4,000 and will furnish
an opening not only for Buffalo
Hump, but for the Elk City, the
Newsome, the Dixie and the Ho
gan camps. The next Legislature
will be asked to build such {
road. - Review.

There are also two short tunnels

were taken from portal to breast,
while an average sample across
the breast of No. 2 gives returns

The first day of the seventh
annual session of the American
Mining Congress, which met at
Portland, Ore, August 22-27, was
occupied with the usual prelim-
inaries of welcoming speeches,
appointment of committees and
the presidents annual address.
On the 23d the first speaker was
F. H. Newell, chief of the re-
clamation service of the United
States Geological Survey, on the
Relation of Irrigation to Min
ing" In addition to explaining
the relation of irrigation to min
ing, he asked for suggestions on
the law of apex. THE connec-
ton between irrigation and min
ing is not obvious" said he.
The old hydraulic fumes of the
west have in a number of cases
been converted into parts of irri-
cation systems. Among these
are the large systems of Califor-
MIA, which have contributed to
the progress and prosperity of
the country. The basis of these
schemes were the miners fumes.
BY the Act of June II, 1902, the
Proceeds of the sale of public
lands in thirteen states and two
territories has been laid aside for
the advancement of irrigation
schemes in the west. Many Of
these schemes are far from com
pletion, but many of them are
under way. 1t is to the interest
of the miner to aid the irrigation
schemes for the benefit they will
give him, when completed, in the
way of water supply and if need
be water for hydraulic purposes.
Following Mr.. Newell, Clifford
Pinchot, of the Bureau of Fores
try, said: "The presidents idea
in creating the Public Lands Com
mission is to get at the best way
of using and preserving the pub
lie lands of the United states, anC
particularly of the western par
the country. The question nov
is, How con we give the foresteC
part of the public lands their bes
use?' The lumbermen want tht
forests reserved in order tha
their industry may be preserved
The grazing man wants the for
ests thrown open to grazing, an(
also wants the grass as wei
as the forests themselves pre-
served. AS to the mining indus
try, you cannot run mine with
out timber and water, and botl
\ must be near and cheap. TIL
policy of the government towar'
the mining man is to get the tim
ber near enough for him to oper
ate his mine at profit. One o
the misconceptions Of the lay
creating forest reserves is that j
prevents the location and devel
opment of mining lands. Yo

States, and particularly as to the
production of the precious metals
and also showing the benefits
derived by the farming interests
of the country from the estab-
lishment of the Department of
Agriculture, and by the CONNER
cial interests from the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor
pointed out that, ''the successful
miner of the precious metals,
while benefitting himself individ-
ually, is at the. same time con-
tributing to the national wealth
and is therefore deserving of the
sympathy, aid and support of the
national government. Some of
the aids that can be properly ex-
tended is the establishment of
mints and assay Offices, smelling
furnaces, etc., located at conve-
nient places, so that the crude
metals may be, at the least pos
sible cost of both time and money,
converted into the coin of the
realm" Speaking of the need
of government assay office in
Oregon, he said that as there is
none nearer than Boise, Idaho,
on the east; Seattle on the north
and San Francisco on the south,
and as "a large proportion of the
gold product of Oregon is taken
direct to smelters outside of the
state, that by the time the report
reaches Washington some other
state than Oregon gets credit. -
This paper was followed by M.
D. Leehy of Seattle, on Mining
Laws" who said that two i'm
portant' decisions worthy of men
tion were rendered by the SUI
preme court of the United States
during the present year. In re.
Clipper Mining Co. V. Eli Mining
& Land Co., the court affirmed
the supreme court of Colorado
and held that a valid placer loca-
tion entities the locator to the
exclusive possession of the sur
face and that no one may entel
thereon to prospect for unkn owl
veins or lodes; that any sucl
entry constitutes trespass. Th'
court decided in the same case
that a placer locator may adver
tise in the usual manner tn,
conflicting application for paten-
to a lode claim, thus determining
a question of practice heretofor
much in doubt. In re. St. Loui!
M. & M. Co. v. Montana M. Co.
Ltd, the supreme court held tina
, the owner of a vein must tax
his eXtralateral rights under ad
joining territory, by a shaft OF
the vein and not by crosscuts.
f 'The same law of the apex, o
: so-called extralateral rights, stil
continues to be the most perplex
ing feature of the western min
! ing laws, and the one producing
the most controversy. Nat
urally this has suggested a
q amendment abolishing the ape
{ rule and providing for grant o
larger surface with no extralat
{ eral rights. But a considerable
, of such an amendment involve
: serious questions. Before an
? law is changed, two things shoul
E be clearly apparent-nrst, an aC
tual necessity for the change

Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1904-09-17

Considering the question, Is the |
present apex rule wrong or un-
wise? the theory upon which |
such rights are granted is that
the discoverer of avein shall be
rewarded with it's mineral. At
the time of discovery he cannot
always determine the strike of
such vein on the surface, to say
nothing abou4 its dip beneath the
surface, and to protect him it is
proposed to allow surface ground
1900 feet wide. But this will
allow only 750 feet from the CEN
ter of his vein, even if he is able
to locate that center; and then to
grant 1900 feet square, or two
and one-half times the size of the
present claim, simply withdraws
that much extra ground from ex-
ploration by other prospectors,
for usually but one vein at a time
is explored by the locator, He
argued that the miner will not
give much time nor money to de-
velopment on a vein near the
edge of his claim, which gave
promise of dipping outside of his
lines; nor for the man outside to
sink shaft for an uncertainty.
"Of course, such owners of ad-
joining claims might agree on a
plan of joint development and
division of profits. We are told
that such has been frequently
done in British Columbia, which
has similar law" History is
cited to show that the modern
extralateral right had its prece-
dents in the European mining
code as far back as the fifteenth
century. Even if it had been a
part of better wisdom to have
adopted the plane spstem of
ownership in the beginning with
, out extralateral rights, is it well
to make the change now? A poor
law after 1t has been interpreted
and construed by the courts will
often operate more equally than
better law which is yet unset
tied and whose terms are in dis
pute." " The present law has now
been largely covered by supreme
5 court decisions and the miner
knows where he stands, so that
