The Augusta Mine.

William Kemp returned yesterday morning from the Patagonia section, which is beginning to show up exceed ingly bright. Mr. Kemp several months ago became interested in the Augusta claims from which 26O tons of ore have been shipped to the Globe smelter since August 1st, says the Tucson Star.
 The eight rate to Globe from Pat agonia station is but $2 per ton. Un fortunately the recent rains have cut up the roads between the Augusta camp and Patagonia, the distance for wagon haul being miles. That haul is $2 per ton on down grade, the road being ordi narily in good condi tion.
 Mir. Kemp looks forward to good results from the Augusta as soon as the roads are put in order again. Speaking of Pima county, of which he has seen much in the past ten years. he expressed the opinion that by De- cember conditions will have so changed that generally affairs in mining will show 50 per cent better than in 1907 8. especially so in Ajo and Silver Bell, Helvetia and Twin Buttes district.

Relocating Abandoned Claim.

The Arizona law Paragraph 324I. Sec. l 1) formerly required. as sin quo non, that in relocating forfeited or abandoned claims the location notice should state that it was a relocation of forfeited or abandoned property. That very dangerous and troublesome law was repealed by amendment, at the session of 1907. (Chap. 32), It is no cation is relocation of forfeited or abandoned property. The old law was an especially mischievous one, as if assumed to invest the locator with ju- dicial functions to decide for himself matters of law and of fact and swear to them, and it required him to dis cover at great expense and trouble what in most cases only God could know, and made his location void ab initio if he didn't discover it. That law was born in Hell-that is, in the mind of some devilish fanatic (a Jim Crow stateman) who imagined that prospectors are made for the law, not the law for the prospectors. It threw upon the poor, bedeviled prospector a duty which properly belongs to the courts But it has been wiped off the statutes.
 The requirements of the Arizona law in locating lode mining claims, though no lorger especially trouble some, are rigid. and the location is vcid-not voidable, observe, but void from the beginning unless they are strictly observed Therefore, in mak- ing lode location, if you mean busi- ness, don't monkey with the law. Obey it strictly and keep out of trouble. if you know enough to pound sand down a rat hole, these few and simple directions will steer you safely. If you don't know as much as that, bet ter give prospecting the go by and get into politics.-The Border.

one Of Colorado's boys. who is attend

his crstwhile comrades a few things
concerning the seriousness of real life.
We quote now from his letter:

that | am here at this school am

But here comes the most valuable
thought OF the whole letter when he
comes to the aftermath of his seven
or eight years of gaily living. when he
says:
THE experiences have had in the
eight years past proves to me that
sporting life Is nothing compared to
the life that am living now and

While the plans for the superstruc-
ture are not completed, the founda-

hands of the committee now, but they
are not quite in accordance with the
wishes of the lodge. However, the

ALL NATIONS MAY
ADOPT TIE WIRELESS

Washington, Feb. 5.--FolloWing
closely the introduction of a bill by
Representatives James Francis Burke
of Pennsylvania to require ocean GO
ing passenger vessels to be equipped
with wireless telegraphy, the House
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries have taken it up for consid-
Grafton. An immediate report is be-
ing urged so that the bill may become
a law at this session
Representative Burke attended the
meeting to explain his bin. Since its
Introduction, which followed the
wreck of the Republic off Nantucket,
the Pittsburg Congressman has been
making an extensive study of the sub
ject and has collected a mass Of data.
Mr.. Burke said;
Since the introduction Of my oil
have had communications commend
ing the measure from individuals and
commercial bodies throughout the
country, and l hope for Its passage at
this session.
Some one has denied our right to
carry such a law as is proposed into
effect without international agree
ment. No such agreement is neces-
sary. We have the same right 70 re-
quire wireless instruments as to re-
quire life preseryers on ships. The
right to enter our ports is one that we
can deny or make conditional. The
French assembly has followed our ex-
ample and has began consideration of
a measure similar to mine. No nation
will resent, but all will welcome the
passage Of this bill by Congress.
