Mining Regulations.

The attention Of the Depart
ment of the Interior has been
called to the last clause of para
graph Al of the mining regula-
tons, approved March 20, 1909,
which provides as follows, and
which we are pleased to publish.
THE vein or lode must be fully
described, the description to in
clude a statement as to the kind
and character of mineral, the
extent thereof. whether ore has
been extracted and of what
amount and value and such other
facts as will support the appli-
cant's allegation that the claim
contains a valuable mineral de-
posit."
1t seems that the expression,
the extent thereof" is being
construed as meaning that the
applicant must afirmatively show
by proof of exploration that the
vein exists in fact throughout
the whole length of the claim.
This construction Of the para.
graph is erroneous. By the
words quoted it was intended tc
require the claimant to show the
existence of a vein in such work.
ings as he relied on to establish
a discovery. BY the extent Of
the vein was meant its size anC
quality as disclosed. That beine
done, the presumption exists
that the vein extends on its strike
throughout the whole length OF
the claim as located.
The sole purpose of that parI
of paragraph Al quoted was t.
enable the land department tc
know, so far as applicant car
reasonably show, the definite
facts upon which the right tC
patent is predicated so as TO de.
termine whether a valuable min.
eral deposit exists in the land
! claimed.

Deming has decided to post
pone her 4th of July celebration
until next year, when she can
bring forth a glorious blow
out by reason Of her new rail-
road with its accompanying shops
and terminals, new court house,
new brick plant, new canning
factory, and so on and so on
down the line of glorious
achievement. In other words,
the celebration of the 4th in

greatest event in the towns

If the present plans of the Sec
retary of the interior are carried
out there will be a shake.up in
the United States reclamation
service some time during the
coming fall. F. H. Newell, the
present director of the service,
and who has had charge of it
since its inauguration, will be
retired and probably will be
succeeded by R. H. Thompson,
of Seattle. Mr.. Newell will be
retained as general consulting
engineer.
