able ansgement. along with their
honest and upright dealings, they
have climbed the ladder OF success
and moulded this enterprise into one
of the largest institutions of its kind
in the United States. Few people
among us realize the enormous bene-
fits derived from this single institu-
tion, but the following figures will
partially serve to enhghten our read

is located about three miles from
Salem, in the fertile Willamette val

Stages Passed Through in the Max
ing Of a Quartz Mine,
THE PROSECUTORS PART
Should Locate, Develop Little and
Then Sell.

First find your prospect, and
then make your mine. Mines are
made, not found. Dame Nature
is very firm on this point, and ab7
solutely refuses to deal in ready
made" producers or hand-me-
down" bonanzas, demanding from
the prospector and miner, in ex-
change for her gifts, that a GER
tain amount of honest toll be ex-
pended before the keys to her
treasure vaults are handed over,
unreservedly, to the searcher for
mineral wealth galore, says Salt
Lake Mining Review. And, as a
matter of fact, if the search for
the precious metals were unat-
tended by hard labor, the expen-
diture of money and by .strenu-
GUS exertion, and mines were to
be found ready made, "gold and
silver, because of overproduction
and supply, would cease to have
any intrinsic value, aside from a
commodity value such as regu-
lates the market price Of iron and
copper; the scarcity of the preci-
Gus metals and the hardships and
toll involved in their discovery
and recovery being the main
factor which enables them to
maintain their exalted position
throughout the world as money
metals.
If mines were found and all
that the, lucky finder had to do
was to shovel out 500 gold pieces,
the discovery would really be of
little value. But the mining man
never looks for ready made"
bonanzas. 1t is the prospect that
first attracts his attention. The
mineral stained rift in the rock
attracts his observant eye; the
bold outcrop suggests the exist
ence of the big ore bodies below.
The float on the shillsides leads
him to the vein further up the
mountain, and the blossom on the
| rocks is an indication to him that
the ground in that locality is min
eral bearing. Here he has the
making of a mine. He has found
a good prospect. but he must

How a State Supreme Court Settled
Dispute Over Ownership.
THE CASE IN MONTANA
Execution of Bond Facilitated Granting
of the Patent.

ChlcagO Mining world. An
interesting case was recently de-
cided by, the Montana supreme
court. Following is summary
of the litigation between the Mon
tana Mining Co. and the st. Louis
Mining Company:
One of two conflicting claim
ants made application for a pat
ent. Thereupon adverse proceed
ings were commenced by the
other claimant. For the purpose
of settling and compromising the
action a bond was executed by
one party to the other, in which
it was agreed that the person ex-
ecuting the bond should proceed
as rapidly as possible to obtain a
patent, and then to execute and
deliver to the other. party a deed
of a part of the tract particularly
described.
After a demand and refusal, in
hn action for specific perform
ance, a deed was executed to the
tract described in the bond, CIV
ing its boundaries, the number of
square feet contained therein,
with the following additional
clause: Together with all the
mineral therein contained. To-
gether with all the dips, spurs,
and angles, and also all the
metals, ores, gold and silver
bearing quartz rock and earth
therein, and all the rights, privi-
leges, and franchises thereto incl
dent After the date of the
compromise agreement a second
ary vein was discovered, which
was distinct and separate from
the discovery vein, the apex of
which was between the compro-
mise ground and the apex of the
discovery vein of the person ex-
ecuting the bond. Under these
circumstances it was held that
the compromise and the deed was
an adjustment of all subsurface
rights, and not merely the estab-
lishment of a surface boundary
line between two conflicting lode
mining claims.
In the course of the opinion the
court said: "While the bond
made no mention of extralateral
rights, yet in all probability ii
would have been held to pass
them and the court may have
thought that the single specifca-
ton, all the mineral therein con-
tanned, was liable to be construed
as narrowing the conveyance sc
as to include only the mineral be-
meath the surface, and, therefore
required thatfthere should be in.
eorporated in the deed the words
together with all the dips, spurs
ETC. Yet, in requiring the intro
duction of these words, which il
terms define extralateral rights
it also retained the phrase, to
gether with all the minerals there
in contained To the suggestion
that giving this construction tt
the bond and conveyance is il
effect the granting of "a section o.
q vein of mineral, the. answer il
that there is nothing impractica
or unnatural in such a convey
ance.s 1t does not operate t,

known Buster mine as an example,
which is under bond to the Bradley
people of the well-known Bunker Hill
& Sullivan mine. The results of sinking
on this property have far surpassed all
expectations. 1t is the general view in
fact that the Buster is one of Idaho's
greatest mines. The coming of operat-

coined, and other people operating there
with similar legitimate purposes are
