NEW MINING LAWS

We hear many inquiries as to
the substance of the changes
made in the mining law by the
last legislature. We printed the
law in full in former issue of
this paper, but inasmuch as this
is a very material question to
this section, we will again give
the more important changes, as
we understand them.
The most important change in
the law is that of limiting the
time for the stalking of the claim.
Under the existing law the
locator is allowed 80 days in
which to stake his claim and do
the location work. Under the
new law the time is shortened to
twenty days. After locating.
the locator may hold the ground
for twenty days on the location
notice; at the expiration of this
period he must have his ground
staked as required by law. The
requirements in relation to stalk
ing remaining the same. That
is, the stakes must be of GER
tain dimensions as required in
the existing law. He may at
the expiration of the twenty
days, file with the mining dis
trict recorder, or in case of an
unorganized district, with the
county recorder, what may be
termed a preliminary notice, set
ting forth the name given to the
lode or vein, the date of location,
the date on which the bound
aries were completed and the
name of the locator or locators.
This is used mainly as a pro-
tective measure and from the
wording of the statute, we take
it to leave the matter discre-
tionary with the locator, as the
word may" is used. Then af-
ter the ninety days from the
date of location has elapsed, an
other notice must be filed with
The district mining recorder and
The county recorder Tor the
county recorder alone in an un-
organized district permanent
notice location containing all the
'eqirements of the existing law,
stating the location and dimen-
'ions of the discovery work.
The law on the face of it ap-
pears to be very good. 1t makes
t more impossible for locators to
'hange the boundaries of their
'laims after locating and affords
'rospectors better opportunities
n new district to get a line on
ne located properties in a more
United time.

A Singular Calculation.

1t would require, according to the
calculations Of scientist, the power
OF 10000 horsepower engine about
7O.0O0,O00,O00 years to lift the earth
u foot in height, and to do this work,
allowing. thirteen pounds of water per
horsepower per hour, would require
some 10,00O,00O,OO 0O0O,OOO,OOO gallons
of water, Or more than would be dis
charged at the mouth of the Mississip-
pi In G,O00 years. This would be
enough, the writer estimates, to cover
the entire surface of the earth to n
depth OF not less than 300 feet, to
convert which into steam, using good
boilers, would require some 100000
0OO,0OO,0OO tons of coal. If the latter
quantity of the mineral was loaded on,
cars of twenty tons each 1t would de-
mand 200,000,000,OO such cars.
II the latter were thirty feet long and
all coupled together in one train il

Dcs Moines, Ia, Oct. 21.-Increase
in the earnings of Iowa railroads is
disclosed in the reports filed with the
state railroad commission for the year
ending July, 1907.
1t is of interest in view of the claim
that is to be made later that the 2
cent fare law has greatly reduced the
revenues of the roads, and they can
not endure its operation.
The figures at the state house dis.
closed the fact that the net earnings
from operation of the roads are from
6 to - per cent. The Rock Island en-.
joyed an increase of net income from
operation of $35O,OOO, the Burlington
$4,000. and the Illinois Central
$12S.0GO.
Both the Iowa Central and the Min,

the north and south lines, disclosed
substantial increases in net incomes
from operation. The former increased

latter $4,000. or about 20 per cent.

Manila, P. l., Oct. 11.--Secretary
Tart formally opened the Philippine
assembly in the national thcater at

crowd of people.
In his opening address Mr.. TAFT
reiterated his former statements re.
garding the Philippine Islands, declar.
ing that his views announced Two
years ago regarding the Independence
of the Philippine people were un-
changed. He did not believe that
they would be fitted to govern them
selves for at least n generation, but
he added that the matter was entirely
IN the hands Of congress.
The secretary denied emphatically
that the United States had any inten-
tion of diSposing of the islands. said
he had absolute confidence In the Fill
pinos, denied that he was disap-
pointed at their ability to legislatc
conservatively, and asserted his belief
that they felt their responsibility and
acknowledged the necessity of sup.
porting the American government. Mr..
Taft refrained from making any sug-
sestion regarding specific legislation
on the part of the Philippine assem-.
bly,, but he recommended that atten.
ton be paid to the civil service.
