Mining Laws Need Amend
ing.

One of the most interesting of
the papers read before the Ameri-
can Mining Congress at FL Paso,
Texas, the past week was that of
K. 5. Morrison on needed changes
in the existing mining laws. The
one feature, above all others men
toned, seems the most timely and
urgent is that suggesting the need
of uniform legislation, which shall
be adapted to every State and
Territory in the Union. The Fed
eral Statutes are good enough per-
haps, as far as they go, particular
ly since almost every character of
contention which may arise under
existing laws has already been
considered, and the laws have been
interpreted by the State and Fed
eral judiciary up to the highest
the United States Supreme Court
until we now understand fairly
well what may be anticipated in
the courts on nearly every ques-
tion that may arise, but the laws
of the several States lack uni
formity, and, as pointed out by
Mr.. Morrison, what may be legal
compliance with the law in one
State or Territory may not be
sufficient in another. The Cong
ress of the United States should
repeal the Act giving to the States,
Territories and mining districts the
right to enact local mining legis-
lation, and define more clearly
the acts of discovery, location and
possession, and enforce more
strictly the requirements of the
law, the main objects being to Sc
cure to bona fde locators their
rights, and to bring about more
promptly the development of the
mineral resources of the country
by requiring certain work to be
done as a part of the act of loca-
ton. This has been attempted by
several of the mining States, the
only fault being the lack of uni
formity in these State laws. Some
thing should be done to lessen the
evil of wholesale location of the
mineral lands of the public do
main by those who claim large
tracts without performing any
other work than setting discov-
cry stake, or possibly completely
stalking or monumenting claim.
Another phase of the Federal
mining law is that relating to dis
covery. The law distinctly states
that the initial act of the locator
is his discovery. This law un-
doubtedly contemplates an ideal

Rural Delivery a Graat BEN
eft.

The rural delivery system is
still growing, and the popularity
of the service is attested by the
many letters that daily reach the
postofice department in commen-
dation of the effects of the estab-
lishment of routes all over the
country, as we'll as by the thous-
ands of petitions received for new
routes. On July first there were
32,o58 rural routes in operation, an
increase of 7,4e2 over the CORE
spending period of last year.
Plans are being made to number
the boxes on the routes somewhat
like the boxes in a postoffice.
Many are the benefits of the ru-
raj free delivery. Small rural
towns have been converted into
cities and property values have
enhanced by reason of. the in
creased convenience to all dwell
ers along the routes. The highest
compliment paid the service, how
ever, is that which it is receiving
as factor in the education of the
people throughout the land. 1t
is certainly keeping the rural resi-
dent abreast of the times, no matter
how distant he may be from the
city.
Among the modern advantages
and improvements devised for
human comfort and convenience
that of rural free mail delivery is
a great factor in making country
life more attractive to both young
and old, thus having a tendency
to keep people on the farms and
also to turn urban residents "back
to the land ."-Talisman.

faith by the performance of certain
acts, such as making an excavation
of stated dimentions within a
given time after location, and
thereafter the annual performance
upon the claim of not less than
$1oo worth of work or the ex-
penditure of an equal amount in
improvements, the same as re-
quired by the law at present.
There are many things to be con-
sidered when a change in existing
statutes is contemplated, but as
the laws now are there is certainly
room for decided improvement in
several directions, Mining and

condition-the outcrop of miner
al vein, or deposit, which might be
easily seen and recognized by the
prospector. There are so many
places where valuable mineral de-
posits and veins are buried beneath
the surface, covered by gravel and
soil, rock slides or lateral forma-
tions, either volcanic or sedimen-
tary, and where considerable ex-
ploratory work is necessary before
a discovery can be made. The
bedded deposits of Leadville,
Colo. form an excellent example
of such occurance. In the Black
Hills of South Dakota the veins
in the Algonkian schists at many
places pass underneath hundreds
of feet of the later Cambrian sedi-
mentaries, or are buried by por-
phry sheets. In California many
quartz veins are hidden under val
ley alluvials or beneath the Ter
tiary lavas, and basalt flows cover
valuable ore deposits in Arizona.
many other instances of similar
conditions might be mentioned,
but it is clear that a bona fide dis
covery by the prospector is not
always easily possible. He often
needs time and money to prove
his belief that valuable mineral
exists beneath the unpromising
superficial strata. He should be
permitted to locate unclaimed pub
lie land, and to show his good

ACADEMY NOTES.

The whole energy of students
at the Academy this week has
been directed toward two impor-
tant events passing satisfactor-
lily the first five weeks test and
winning victory from the Albion
Normal School in both the foot
ball and basket bali games that
are being played today at the
Academy grounds. In the for
mer, judging from the papers
that have been read, the work
on the whole is satisfactory and
up to standard. The first tests
are always the most trying of
the year, particularly to new
students. This year is no ex-
ception, and the serious counter
ances seen here and there show
that actual results cannot always
be foreseen.
Yesterday was moving day"
for the girls in the dorrnitory.
The new building was finished
the day before, and yesterday
afternoon the girls occupied
their new quarters. The new
dormitory is an important ad-
dition to the campus, and is
strictly modern in It's appoint
ments.
Today promises to be a big
one in the athletic history of the
Academy. The Academy boys
viii contend with the Albion
Normal school for football hon
ors; while the girls basket ball
team will attempt to wrest VIC
tory from the Albion girls. Both
the Academy teams are playing
snappy ball in practice, as much
outdoors as possible, but indoors
in the new gymnasium when the
weather is bad. The snowfall
has put the grounds in splendid
shape, and balmy weather that
gov prevails make the condi-
tons ideal for splendid sport.
