A Right That Has Been a Stimulus
to Our National Growth.
ABUSES BE CORRECTED
New Regulations to Be Used in Crdnt-
ing Patents By Government.

Free lands has been a powerful
stimulus to national growth. This
is of mineral as we'll as agricult-
ural land. Prosperity has been
built on great natural resources,
says Mining World. In part, it
represents the waste and destruc-
tion of mineral and other wealth.
Fraud has inevitably accompanied
the transfer of public lands from
the people to individuals or corpo-
rations. Strict compliance with
the law in securing a government
deed has been the exception
rather than the rule. If all gov
ernment titles obtained by fraud
ulent practice were to be cancel
led, certain powerful corporations
would be forced to disgorge prop
erty worth millions of dollars.
The laws themselves are partly
to blame for the prevalence of
fraud. Before a lode claim can
be located in accordance with the
law an ore bearing vein must be
uncovered, ore must be found in
place. Yet around new camps
the ground will be staked for
miles with never a vein in sight.
And these fraudulent locations
are in turn made the basis of
fraudulent promotions. The law
should be modified to permit loca-
tions giving temp orary possession
Of a given area until sufficient ex-
ploration can be done to form the
basis of a permanent location.
Other features Of the law bearing
on the issue of government pat
ents to mineral lands, especially
coal lands, should be changed, but
so long as the law remains on the
2 statute books in its present form
it should be enforced. Enforce
: ment will call for a far more rigid
inspection than has ever been at
tempted, and a large increase of
inspectors.
Dealing with this matter in a
) recent message to congress, Presi-
( dent Roosevelt says: II am
| gravely concerned at the ex-
tremely unsatisfactory conditions
2 of the public land laws and at the
/ prevalence of fraud under their
present provisions. For much of
this fraud the present laws are
chiefly responsible. There is but
one way by which the fraudulent
acquisition Of these lands can be
definitely stopped and, therefore,
| have directed the secretary OF
the interior to allow no patent tc
be issued to public lands under
any law until, by an examination
on the ground, actual compliance
with that law has been found tC

crease of special agents in the
fgeneral land office is urgently re

: fide would-be settlers will be- pu

Poor Machinery Prevents Sue
cess in Mine Operation.
A LITTLE PHILOSOPHY
II Mine is Worth Anything 1t Deserves
Best Kind of Treatment.

An epitaph that might be writ
ten over many times a silenced
mine is Ruined by poor equip
ment," says Butte Mining Re
view. A proper equipment is
just as essential to the making of
a mine as are it's ore bodies. Pay
ore bodies not infrequently prove
to be non-paying ore bodies. The
fault is not in the ore; it is in the
machinery installed for the re-
duction of the ore. If the mach
inery is faulty, if it is old, second
hand machinery that is con-
stantly, as will in every probabil-
ity be the case, getting out of
order, requiring repairs, then it
will make no difference how rich
the ore is, poor, secondhand
equipment will more than neut-
ralize the good values in the ore,
making the extraction of them so
costly that the property cannot
be brought to a paying basis.
Good ore is entitled to good
machinery do not forget this.
1t is entitled to the best that can
be purchased. The newer it is
Of the kind most suitable to the
! treatment of the ore the larger
will the profits from the mine be.
To put old or secondhand mach
inery on a good mining property
is evidence of the very essence OF
stupidity; it is, as we have stated
in a previous article, to invite
disaster.
What, it may be asked, is the
wretched economy that may be
effected in the purchase Of Sec
ond-hand machinery, compared
with the losses that would be sus'
tanned in repairs, loss of time anc
failure to secure the full, proper.
tionate extraction of the values
in the ore? Such an economy
might well be described az
penny wise and pound foolish.
We repeat. The mine owner
or manager, that will put old
secondhand machinery upor
what he believes to be a goo(
mining property, does not de
serve to have a good property; i.
he did not believe he possessed ;
good mining property he shoul(
not be wasting his time an(
money upon it. Yet that is JUS
what he would be doing if h
equipped it with cheap, second
hand machinery.

HIS VERSION OF THE RIOT
NEGRO SERGEANT, WITNESS
Tells Senate Committee on Military
Affairs What He Knows About
That OverWorked Brownsville
Trouble.
Publishers Press.1

Washington, reD 8. George
Jackson, former sergeant of company
B, of discharged negroes, charged
with participation in the ARRAY at
Brownsville, was on the stand before
the senate committee on military af-
fairs. He was the nOn-commiSsioncd
officer OF B quarters the night of the
ARRAY, and had possession OF the keys
to the barracks holding the ccS1-
pany's arms On this account, great
interest attached to his testimony.
Jackson described the locks and
the keys. each rack having two locks.
The locks were all different, and
there was only one key to each
Jackson insiCted that he counted the
guns before he took charge for the
day and night of August Is. and said
that all of the company guhs were
safely deposited and locked. His
story of the incidents of that night
was similar to the stories told by
previous witnesses.
Jackson was one of the men arrest
ed August IS, and he told of his con-
finement in the guardhouse, until two
days later, when the battalion was
sent to Fort Reno. He said he did
not know who was responsible for
the charges filed against him and
others.
