Mining and Forest Reserves.


 More or less ill-concei7ed criticism is being directed toward the forest ser vice by parties whose schemes for ob- taining timber land under Che guise of mineral locations are being checkmated by the service. Our national forest re- serves have been created for two dis tinct purposes, viz, the conservation of the water supply and the perpetua- tion of the timber resources of the country. Both of these purposes arc of the highest order aud for the nation- al government to follow them out is only 10 act along lines of feconomy.
 1t seems almost inconsistent that there should be cupningly devised at tacks against this system of industrial economy to which the government has committed itself, but one has only to read the daily press to ascertain that schemes are constantly being conceived which have for their purpose the de- frauding of the government and az grandizement of selfish individual. Incidentally the mining industry is dragged into the dispute, and no soon- CT is some fraud successfully defeated than the hue and cry is raised that the government is husbanding the forests at the expense of the mining industry. In this way mining is made to be the shield behind which the exposed indi- 7idual takes refuge.
 Nothing could be farther from the truth than that the government is placing undue difficulties in the path of those who would honestly acquire mineral lands. Least of all is it true that in establishing forest reserves 1t has placed ban on legitimate mining on those reserves. At the recent meet ing of the American Mining Congress it was expected that the chief forestry division of the Department of Agrical- ture would read paper dealing in full with this subject. Unfortunately he was not permitted the time to attend, but representative made clear few mooted points.
 During the past few months num- Der of large mining claims have been located on the forest reserves by parties who have no standing in the mining business, on lands which gave no indication of containing mineral values of any kind, but which happened to be covered by dense and valuable timber growth. This eueroachment has been resisted by the forestry ofti- cials. The forest service will accord every possible facility for the develop ment on these reserves of legitimate mining claims but it will insist that parties desiring timber land only shall use the proper language in making entry and not endeavor to get possess ion of timber land in way calculated to bring discredit on the mining pro- fession.
 From this point of view it will be seen that the forestry service is an ally of mining instead of being it's foe, as some reports would lead the uninHorm- ed to believe. It has been the policy of the government to make it easy to acquire mineral land, and it is scarcely possible that it would now depart from this course, especially when the pur- pose of forest preservation can be ac- eomplished without setting the two in- dustries at variance with one another.
