follow that there does not exist in such
districts mines well worth equipment
and development, but the attitude of
the selfish claim holders is a great
drawback, and the best prospects are
likely to remain idle for years, as they
have in the past. In such districts as
these the claim holders should make an
effort to have the possibilities of their
section known to the world, and to offer
the most liberal terms to capital to in
velopment of the best claims. Should
one such venture prove success it
would be comparatively easy to dispose

WHY REPEAL.

Washington correspondents to the
western press generally take it for
granted that the timber and stone act
will be repealed this session of con-
gress, the reason given being the
widely extended land frauds in western
states; which frauds have been trace
able in every instance to government
officials, either in the character Of
principal or tool.
The question naturally, we think, pre-
sents itself, why repeal the act instead
of suppressing tho thefts? If for in
stance the Lieu Land Scrip law were
repealed, and ordinary, very ordinary,
vigilence exercised the other features
of the evil would be eliminated.
AS reason pure and simple, the one
given above ranks as high perhaps as
any we have seen on any given subject
emanating from the present administra-
ton of the interior department, but it
is hardly conclusive. We do not repeal
the banking laws because bank is
robbed or wrecked; we do not repeal
the coinage laws because of the opera
ton of countefeiters, be they never so
skilful. There is not military post in
the west at which civilian cannot
acquire unlawful possession of sundry
of Uncle Sans property: clothing,
blankets, horses, mules, arms and
equipment, provisions of any character
whatever. Yet he would be hardy
reformer indeed who would disarm the
military because rife was stolen or
dress the "dough-boy" and "swatty"
up in war paint and feathers because

his clothes for fire-warer.

CONCENTRATES.

A Departmental regulation, No. 10,
is to the effect that but one discovery
of mineral is required to support
placer location, whether it be of twenty
acres by an individual. or of 160aacres
or less by an association of persons.
The courts do not presume to say how
rich a placer must be to make the dis
covery valid. nor how wide vein shall
be nor how much mineral it shall con-
tain before it may be recognized as
valid and bona fide discovery. Neither
size nor richness are material in such
matters. A discovery of such indica-
tions as would lead the miner to
believe that it would lead to q more
valuable deposit in depth is sufficient.
Pay gravel or pay ore are not absolute
ly essential to legitimate discovery.
1t is rarely that large masses of white
quartz constitute valuable ore, although
outcrops of this kind are characteristic
of many mining regions. Not infre-

being separated from it by a layer of
clay, .gouge or country rock. The bo-
nanzas of the Comstock Lode, at Vir-
GINA City, New, occur wholly within
large and nearly barren masses Of white
and blush white quartz. These 'bonan-
zas are later than the large masses of
quartz. having been deposited nfissures
in the massive silica, which resulted
from movements Of the vein.
A red, brown OF black gossan does
not always indicate payable values be-
low, but such outcrops should be in
vestigated. In the case of abundant
manganese oxide in the gossan the in
dications are usually favorable for
silver and lead. Where hematite occurs
most abundantly gold is most likely to
be the metal found, though where the
vein beneath is gold bearing the gossan
is usual auriferous also. In the case
of lirnonite copper may be suspected.
There are no hard and fast rules con-
corning this, for hematite may also be
abundant in the gossan Of copper de-
post, and manganese as well. Limo
mite deposits should be investigated to
ascertain whether they are really the
outcrop of vein or ore deposit beneath
or only superficial deposit, formed by
iron springs in the vicinity. In case of
the latter it might be good business to
investigate the source of the spring de-
post. Not infrequently the water fro m

Pens Made of Tantalite.

Tantalite is one OF the hardest of ma
terials-so hard, in fact. that sheets
made of it resisted a diamond drill maxi
ing 5000 revolutions minute for three
days and three nights. Now pens are
maaa of this metal by German firm.
The tantalite pen resists chemicals to a
very high degree; 1t is much harder and
more elastic than the steel pen, and on
that account indestructibe. It is even
more elastic than gold pen. and 1t is
predicted that If 1t will be placed upon
the market at a moderate price 1t will
supersede both steel and gold pens.
