Raffety is boring for ice at his

Strange as it may seem, this

the town with ice hereafter
He is putting in an artesian

1t may well be that the best thing said at Newport by President
Roosevelt was something wholly outside of his formal address to the Of

battalion of apprentice seamen-or naval apprentices" Sc called, and
most of them boys under twenty years od-and the exhibition drill by
them, the president paid a deserved compliment to the youngsters and
their pett-ofhcer commanders in a short speech the concluding passages
of which were these:

The old, wasteful method of doing business is to be done away with and
new processes will get out of the earth profits that in the early days of
Nevada would have been impossible Low grade propositions can be
reckoned upon as dividend payers, we believe, in a year or SO. Many of
these mines, it should be said, are now controlled by interests that are
developing properties elsewhere and must await their turn.
We do not know that in the next half century of its existence Nevada
will produce another billion of dollars, but the improvements in the
science of mining considered, it is by 10 means an improbabiity, the
mining properties at present known being alone figured OF There is the
certainty, however, of new sources of mineral wealth being discovered.

rrInuLArIoN AND THE APEX.

Some folks say Uncle Sans legislators made fools Of themselves
when they picked up the miners regulations OF old California and en-
acted them into a law to govern future mining rights, says the Mining
Record One writer recently asserts that congress did not call upon a
single geologfst for his opinion of the apex right, but that it was guided
solely by mine locators, who wanted the privilege of following their
veins wherever they might lead. The result is that we have a law that
sometimes makes trouble Nature did not lay down her minerals to suit
the geological ideals of the 1aw-maker.
There are some cases on record wherein the apex right has been
waived, simply for the purpose Of avoiding litigation. Down 1t Bsbee,
Arizona. the claimholders (some Of them, at any rate) have a form IF
agreement to be entered into between adjoining locators, the purpose
of which is to limit each to his vertical side lines. ManifesIy, when such
al agreement is made before either party has any knowledge of the dip
and trend of possible veins, neither side a have any advantage. 1t is
simply a mutual concession, to avoid expensive contentious.
According to report, the Goldhed Consolidated and the Combina-
ton Fraction at Goldfeld, Nevada, have entered into this arrangement.
There has been some talk of trouble between the two companies, and this
treaty of peace will, no doubt, insure continued development in ground
that might otherwise be disputed. 1t is we'll to note that the agreement
was brought abou by financial methods. The organization OF the Consol
idated as due largely to the fear OF litigation between apex claimants
o adjoining groun, and the present agreement, assuming the correct
ness of the report, grows out of the purchase of the Combination Frac.
ton controlled by George Wingheld. The bette noire of The apex has been
= fruitful cause of claim consultations, though, in this ease. a consol-
idauon has not occurred-only a tommon control
If It becomes a frequent practice for adjoining claimants to waive
the apex right, insofar as it affects the parties to the agreement. it will
be time for congress to appreciate the need of a change in the statute.
The WestEnd Mcnamara trial was also settled in this manner.

The practice run Of the volunteer fire department N Sunday even
ing is certainly a move in the right direction. A city like Tonopah while
Its paid fire department is the best anywhere for its size must natural
ly rely upon the aid of citizens in cases of conhagration. Too much praise
cannot be bestowed upon the men who sacrifice their time, health and
personal belongings as fire fighters in the protection Of the homes, lives
and property o. their fellow citizens. BY their demonstration on Sun
day evening they prove that the organization is being directed by men
who have al idea Of system and who can quickly subdue any fire that
may occur. The gift of the unknown citizen, of a loving cup to be con
tested for instins good natured rivalry and the applause of the citizens
as he watches the trial runs are good ideas to follow out.
