FOREST RESERVES AND THE MINER

= N VIEW Of the intention If the government to set aside lrge tracts Of MIN
eh land in Esmeralda county for forest preserves, we print n article from
clifford Pinchct, chief forester, explaining the attitude Of the Forest Re
section of the interior department toward IN miner and thu mining IN
dusry. The Forest Reserve has beer severely criticised by various newspapers
in the mining estates fr what is claimed to be unwaranted interference with
miners in locating, developing and patenting claims. Clifford Pinchot answered
tie structures OF the Denver Post n a letter which outlines the policy Of the
deuartment with reference to Forest Reserves in mining sections.
Undoubtedly the regulations Of the department ire intended % be fair to
thu mining industry, and theoretically they may be Tor the interests If both the
mining iadustry and the department. But while the regulations and rules may
be all right, they may easily be abused by incompetent or omcious rangers. AS
thu Pacific Miners and other mining papers contend, they do net protect the min
ms man md they do interfere with the issuance Of a patent. without a patent.
a mining prospect is q prospect. nothing more, and N owner is likely to spend
money in its development. 1t is nt he kind O property rim which capital cal be
expected to invest.
Undo the present system, an inspector reports on the claim for a patent for
duplication las been made It is avered by the Forest Service that only
men of cxpcdence are selected to do such work, but miners whom re- know per-
sonauy d others Of whom W Q hear through letters and the newspapers, de-
clare that a inspectors arr by nj meansm mentally equipped at all times for the
york they ar called upon TO do Under the present system, it is far easier and
safer for . representative Of the Forest Service to pass unfavorably N an apph-
cation fr a patmtt than otherwise. The consequence is that adverse reports are
more likely to be made and applicants in several cases that have found their
way into courts, a. been put TO- considerable inconvenience and expense with
tut just reason.

BACK FROM NEW BRUNSWICK

Thad Dick, an old timer in Goldfeld,
has just returned from a mining trip in
New Brunswick, whore he has some ex-
ceptionally fine copper locations. He
brought back some of the ore which is
to be seen at The News office, that ear
ries copper as high as % per cent. The
vein is IL feet wide and uncovered for
a long distance, and the entire body will
run about as the sample shown. The ore
is heavy with copper ~sulphides.

Proof of Annual Labor
Many states have statutes requiring
claimants to record afidavits to the eff
feet that the annual labor has been per-
formed, and setting forth the nature
and value of the work. No serious con-
sequence can result from a failure to
comply with these requirements, though
it is always advisable to comply with
them. Such recorded proofs are
usually made prima faeie evidence Of
the fact that the work was regularly
performed dMhepever such fact is ques-
toned in an action in court.
Resumption Of Labor
The mere failure to perform annual
labor does not result in a forfeiture of
the claim per Sc. If work is resumed
before an adverse location is made. aI5
with reasonable diligence un-
til 800 in value has been performed,
the law is satisfied.
The provisions Of the statute requir-
ing the performance of annual labor are
wise and salutary. without them it
would be possible for a few individuals
locate a major part of the mineral
lands of the public domain and hold
them indefinitely. The necessity Of
performing annual labor, slight as the
burden may seem, proves in actual ex-

on wholesale speculation and permanent
segregation of mineral lands from the
public domain without development.
The law is cvaded in many instances,
but this is not the fault of the law, but
rather of its administration Many
claimants endeavor to hold their claims
without performing annual labor. and
at the beginning of the new year either
relocate the claims in their own names
or in the names of others. BY so doing
they run the risk of losing their claims,
and the courts are inclined to look with
disfayor on sucn rrifing with the plain
intent of the law. If claimants will
perform their assessment work with the
bona fde intention of complying with
the spirit of the law, instead of gong
TO the other extreme and performing as
little work as possible, or trying to
credit work of a doubtful nature, they
will save themselves trouble later on.
| MANY times a claimant is forced to
spend hundreds of dollars in litigation
to defend his claim against an adverse
location when the expenditure of a few
dollars in assessment work would have
removed all possibility of questioning
its performance. As a final word of
canton. Whenever a claimant is in
doubt as to whether the work done is
of the proper character or whether 1t rs
sufficient in amount, let him abolish the
doubt by doing work that can not be
assailed. 1t will bring peace of mind
and save money in the long run.
Get Your Papers
The News would add to the foregoing
able article, a word to those who have
claims in process of patent. In many
cases either by delays in the land of
fee or by reason of adverses, after all
the forms of law have been complied
with, there is still a delay in the issu-
ance of the final papers. Now, until
you are actually in possession of these,
uO HldtltT nON luC WIZ F0t ''
have done in the aggregate, You must
in each and every year perform the an
nual labor called for under the assess
ment laws.
Location Stakes and Monuments
Our attention has been called to the
growing evil in the district, the de-
struction or DETACHMENT of the stakes
and monuments on mining claims.
Parties relocating or having adverse
claims must not imagine for one mo-
ment that they in any way improve
their claims by this destructive policy.
About the only thing they do, beyond
the serious Inconvenience they cause
the other claimants, is to render them
selves in jeopardy of the law. Besides
the state law making this offense a mis-
demeanor, Uncle Sam has a statute on
the matter and woe be to him that is
convicted of destroying monuments set
up by deputy United States surveyors.
However, for the good name of the
camp, let us hope this bad practice will
cease; absolutely nothing is gained by
il as we have stated, but it is un-
doubtedly a serious Inconvenience to
the locator and to the applicant for
patent. We DOM think that regular
miners are guilty of this class of IN
dalism, we put it down to a class of
professional claim jumpers, men who
have little or no acquaintance with the
"single jack but do all their mining
with a pencil and notices.

HILL ON DIPLOMACY
AMBASSADOR TO GERMANYsAYs
METHODS HAVE CHANGED.

BERLIN, July 1.-Dr. David Jayne
Hill. the new American ambassador to
Germany, contributes to Il monthly re-
view his opinions of modern diplomacy
and the duties of modern diplomats.
Hitherto, he says, the foundation on
which diplomacy rested was the doc
trine of the absolute sovereignty of
states, doctrine that each state eX-
listed for itself alone. and the chief task
of the diplomatist was to help strengthen
his own state by weakening the others
and destroying competition from them
in his own country and injure their
trade and industry in other countries
Now" says the ambassador, "a diff
ferent view prevails, and Just as mod
ern political economists have overthrown
false economic dogmas like that in re-
gard to the mercantile system and the
supposed advantage of possessing the
largest stock of the precious metals. so
the modern diplomatist must discard
the old diplomacy, and instead of sep
arating nations bring them nearer to-
sether: instead of sowing dissension
among them introduce order. law and
Justice for their mutual relations. The
host euIlipment for him who seeks to do
this is a knowledge Of history, and AS
a skillful physician proceeds to first
acquaint himself with the whole physi-
cal and physiological history of the pa
tient before prescribing, so II skillful
diplomatist should first acquaint HIM
self with the history of states before
trying to bring jaring interests Of ma
tons in harmony
The chief danger today, DR.. Hill
thinks lies in the conflict of CONNER
cial interests, the increase of popula-
ton, the desire to acquire or extend ter
ritory and search for new markets and

people and the rulerseof Europe. in which
he appeals to the nations not to interfere
with the plans for arn1ing against the
government Of President Nord Alexis.
which the address says is "a patriotic.
civilizing and humanitarian task"
The address is also a statement of the
alleged barbarous tyranny under which
the people of Haiti live.
Declaring that the constitution Of the
republic is abased and the law has been
abolished, DIR. Bobo says in his address.
made public tonight:
And the whole administration of the
country is only a competition of extortion
by a hierarchcal conspiracy of scoundrels.
the members of which, from top to bot
tom, mutually uphold each other. Why
all this? In order to plumber the country
in all safety. In fact. the public revenues
are pocketed in proportion as they are
collected by those at the head of the
government and their favorites. And
these divers fortunes. built upon the ruin
and the starvation of the people. are con-
stantly forwarded toward foreign banks
in anticipation of a sudden downfall.
DR.. Bobo then says that Gen. Firmin is
the chief of the party which hopes TO
emancipate the people from these condi-
tons He eulogiZes Gen Firmin for his
constant and deep patriotic ardor, his re-
markable administrative ability and unaS-
sailable uprightness.
