DEVELOPMENT OF
MINING LAWS


tutions has been accomplished in the
main by virtue of the accidental,
casual, temporary needs of the race
and that in cases where farsighted
design and scientific principles are
detected in the fabric of laws or Gus
toms of the more modern nations they
are the result of imitation and the
patterning after systems gone before,
the bad features rejected and the
good retained. Given the experience
of an old community, new commu.
nifty will start upon foundations of
which the corner stones are the
tested ideas of the past Laws are
the development of centuries, aud
their fundamental principles are such
that 1T Is difficult to shake them.
At the same time, however, the
growth of education, the change in
social conditions and the steady
movement of civilization from the
east toward the west call for new
precedents, and the development of
new phases of old systems interlards
the whole structure with the acci-
dental, causal, temporary substances
that disappoints perfection. The
systems of incipient civilizations
have the structure of the ash heap.
Patterning systems may conform to
a better mode Of architecture but the
ash heap will not be wholly absent.
The discovery of gold IN California
aud the subsequent activity In the
quartz mines called for legal pre-
cedents that the Forty miners did not
find mt hand. The result was tacit
mining code that became the germ of
the we'll known apex law, or the law
Of the extra lateral rights. The pros
pector who discovered a lead was
privileged to follow II as far as he
could. Custom did not look forward
to the more complex conditions under
which the mining industry must
later find itself. The notion of
apex rights was arrived at by virtue
of the accidental, casual. temporary
needs of the time. Had the Califor-
mia pioneers emerged from region
old In mining experience, doubtless
the apex custom would never have
been established and doubtless there
would not be today so many wealthy
mining lawyers In the west. Mexico,
at least, has profted by the en-
perience of the United States in the
matter of mining laws, but the apex
theory has become SO firmly estab-
lished here upon volume after volume
of court decisions that 1t is doubtful
If IL will ever be overthrown.
Nature did not place her mineral
lodes in conformance with human
customs that might later arise. Dis
putes as to the possession of ore bod
les may delay the mining of them,
but they will not permanently pre-
vent the production of their under
ground wealth. Mines do not
suffer so much from litigation and
inactivity as do their owners.
Realizing this, 1t Is not unusual for
the owners of mining property to
absorb adjoining acreage, or for two
neighboring ownerships to combine
as a protection against boundary
warfare below ground. 4 great
many of the largest mining cOnsoli-
dations in the west have been
brought about by this cause. The
policy of sccretion on the part of the
owners of the big Portland mine at
Cripple Creek began with the motive
Of self protection.
Litigation is not peculiar to the

SHIPPING LIVE STOCK.
Mistakes for Which the Feeders OF
the Country Pay Vast Amount
Every Year.

A large majority of feeders make a
mistake in holding fat cattle that are
ready for market; for instance, man
is feeding 100 to $50 head of steers.
and there are, say, one-half or two
thirds of the cattle that are fat and
could be shipped at any time. Very
few men will ship them out, for the
simple reason that their cattle are not
ready, and they hold on to the good
ones until the entire bunch is ready.
We are continually advising our Gus
toners to ship out all the fat cattle as
fast as ready. By doing so they divide
their risk. The cattle that are left
have a better chance to improve. and
there is more profit to be made in this
way Oh account of the small margin
there is in keeping matured steers, as
this class of cattle make little gain
compared with habitat steers.
Another mistake that is made is in
shipping cattle off grass. We have
had d number of instances where our
customers have shipped cattle that
were fed on the grass withou- putting
them in dry lot for day or two be-
fore shipment and feeding nothing but
corn, oats and hay, and, by not doing
so, the cattle on their arrival look
grassy, their hair looks shiny, they
shrink almost double what they would
if handled in the proper way, and they
don't sell within ten to fifteen cents
per hundred (and in some cases more)
of cattle that are put in a dry lot and
fed nothing but corn, oats and hay be-
fore shipment. Overlooking is a very
bad feature. but we might add that We
are not troubled as much in this re-
spect as we were before the charge of
freight by cents per 100 pounds be-
came established. A little advice on
this subject is still quite necessary, as
we have customers frequently who
overload their cattle, and, as result,
make an extra shrinkage; they do not
look as well at market, which, as you
are aware, affects the sale fully ten
cents per hundred pounds; this means
a direct loss to the shipper of ten cents
per hundred and the extra shrinkage,
which is quite large item, that could
be saved with proper management
