late In the day to make such radical
change In our mining laws.
It IL a fundamental principle Of
both government and Jurisprudence.
In relation to property, that where q
certain practice has been for long
time legally recognized It is not
proper to change II except II has
been found to work the Rravest in
justice. In other words, that In such
cases at IL better to bear the ills we
have rather than to rush to others
which we know not Of" That such
u change In our existing mining laws
would result In great confusion aud
endless litigation cannot bs denied.
No law eau Le made, under our
constitution, that can iLjuriously
affect rights already vested, for this
would be akin to confiscation. That
the proposed Kearns law could be
made to govern all future locations
we, OF course, admit. With such q
law ws would, however, have one set
Of locations governed by the present
system alongside Of others existing
under the proposed kearns amend.
ment The old system, with its right
to follow the veins into adjoining
lands. and the new system giving no
right to do any such thing.
Such a result would, we think,
produce confusion, worse confounded,
that we cannot SEQ huw the results
would be beneficial MS u whole. The
passage Of such q law would impose
u new burden on the mining indus
try, Rrievous to be borne, aud would
renew an era Of mining litigation that
has now almost burned itself out for
lack Of fuel supplied from unsettled
points OF law. Pacific Coast Miner.

q much higher rate Of interest than
bis narrow prejudice allows him to
think 10 safe. He has no ground to
stand upon, or can be present an
argument which would convince On
impartial jury that bis position is .
correct one. He can tell you all
about the relative values of the
different railroads, mortgages, etc.,

thoroughly.
But he has passed over mining,
with possibly casual glance, where.
40 II he would give this subject ss
much thought and study a. he has the
others he would understand II and
not condemn It because 1t pays q
higher rate Of interest than six per

Then Jack substantiated ell that he

Discovery Of This Valuable Metal In
The New District Reliably
Reported.
Rock Also Assays High In Gold Values
And Much Work viii be
Done There.

Mining circles In Baker City were
startled last night by the announce.
ment of the discovery In paying
quantities of that rare metal plat
inum In gold ore in the Mount Ras-
tus district, the newest camp which
has been so much heralded of late.
Mr.. F.. ID. Gallagher, representing a
Seattle syndicate, returned here from
camp tonight. Mr.. Gallaher has
been quiely exploiting some new
mineral territory for more than thirty
days past, and has made these valu-
a bile discoveries just mentioned, which
are situated about seven miles from
Mount Rastus. When interviewed
by n reporter, MIR. Gallagher dis
played some handsome samples Of ore
which runs from one-half to twelve
ounces In platinum and from s5 to
$3.50 In gold.
1t IL a new character of ore to any
thing known In eastern Oregon. He
says that the leads are we'll defined
and In place. The belt seems at one
age to have been in rock form, bat
has undergone q change and now
both the country formation and the
ore are soft aud easy to work. On
account of this great change in the
formation, to the casual observer It
does not look like mineral territory
and has been passed over By pros
pectors for years; cattle men have
ridden over It for thirty-iv years,
little suspecting that there would be
discovered beneath their feet the
greatest mining camp on the Pacific
coast.
Mr.. Gallagher says that there have
already been located some IS or 100
claims In this new camp adjoining
Mount Rsstus and that he looks to
see quite rush there In the spring.
He has secured q large number Of
claims for his Seattle syndicate and
yesterday exhibited assay certificates
from a local Baker City ssssyer made
upon the ore he brought in, showing
values In platinum of from sl2 to
the ton to $3.50 and slO In gold to
1926. The samples of the ore were
taken six feet below the surface and
the claims are situated not far from
the AL Curry and the Bowen Small
and Painting Mount Rastus claims.
