New Ruli.ss Fer Miners

Section Al of circular issued by the
commissioner of the general land Office
at Washington, and approved March 6,
1909, contains ruling on the inter-
probation Of the general mining laws
that is going to throw confusion and
CONSERVATION into the camps of the
claim owners seeking to obtain govern
ment patents. AS is generally know n,
when Il mining claim is located, the
notice to conform to the law. must
designate a discovery point and the
course Of the lode or ledge through the
claim. For many years this designa-
ton of the lode in the location notice is
all that has been required of the claim
owner in establishing his right to patent
the ground, other than that mineral
and rock in place. were to be found
at the point of discovery. This formality
complied with the owner of group of
claims has been permitted to do the
work for all claims through one tunnel
or shaft which was shown to tend } the
development of the group.
will not do in the future After u
mining claim has been located, and
before the owner can make application
for patent under the new ruling, as
contained in the section noted, he will
be required not only to prove that q
ledge has been discovered in the claim,
but he must trace it out by actual work
clear through the claim or claims to be
patented. That done, he may con-
concentrate his $500 worth of work for
each claim, or remaining portion of it
at one point if he so desires.
1t is not often that a ledge can be
easily traced through mining claim
after its discovery on the surface, be-
gulches the veins existence is often
obliterated- through erosion and the &C
emulation of anywhere from ten to 100
feet or more of debris that has been
washed over it. Dense growths of
brush and trees also often interfere
with stripping vein that can be noted
here and there by the outcrop, while to
expose it for that length of the claim,
would entail work that few men or
companies would be capable of per-
forming without loss of much time and
in some instances tremendous and I'M
necessary expenditures of money In
cases where companies and individuals
locate OH ledge and then take up adj
ditional claims to avoid encroachments
from possible neighbors, the ruling will
be IL stinger. I
1t is nothing uncommon after vein
has been located, or discovery has
been made, to locate number of flank
ing claims without regard as to whether
they contain veins or not, just to head
off possible Observation-Disclosures

Fruit Men Want no Change
In Size of Apple Boxes

Fer the purpose of considering ways
and means by which the provisions of
the Porter shipping and package bill,
relating to the size of apple boxes and
barrels, may be amended, meeting
of the fruit men of the valley is being
held in the rooms of the Commercial
club this afternoon with J. L. Dumas,
of Dayton. president of the State Hor-
tculturaI society. in attendance. The
Porter bill, which is to be acted upon
in the near future, is considered an
excellent one, with the exception OF the
provision prescribing change in the
size of boxes from the one at present
in use, containing "Winchester'
bushel. to a box containing what is
called the ''heaping' bushel.
In view of the fact that the size of
the box now in use here is especially
adapted to the size of western ap-
pies. permitting a uniform pack, fruit
men are opposed to that section of the
bill favoring a change, as under the
terms of the Porter act, all Winches-
ter-bushel boxes would have to be Ia
beled short box" giving commission
men and eastern dealers a new oppor-
tunity to get the best of the growers.
The box now used measures 10 1-2 by
HIP by IS inches inside and is well
fitted for the pack known as the -four
tier arrangement. 1t is possible to
place eight of the boxes across a re-
frgerator car insuring safe transit,
whereas. if the provisions of the Por-
ter bill are put into effect. the boxes
will have to be enlarged just enough
so that packing will be difficult, the
boxes will not fit the cars and in ad-
dition mill men and Orchard1StS VIII
be put to great expense through hav-
ing to discard material now on hand
and stocking UP with material adap-
table to use in the new size receptacles.
Mr.. Dumas, who is one of the most
extensive apple growers in the state,
being the owner of a magnificent or
chard near Dayton, expects to leave
about the 10th of this month for
Washington. D. c., where he will at
tend a convention of the apple growers
of the country to be held In the Ra-

The snow this morning was meas
ured in a protected place, where the
wind could not strike but where the
snow would fall evenly. Just II inches
was the measurement, although ta
ken on a vacant lot, the depth was
found to be but 13 inches, owing to
the fact that the weight of the snow
had packed it. Where the II inches
was found. it was on the top of a
box where not enough could collect
to pack it. One man stated that he
had measured the snow every day
as it has fallen, and that it totalled
Is inches.

Snow Deepest, Weather at, Zero
Longest, in Is Years Records

With zero weather for seven days,
and II inches of snow on the ground,
the weather has today passed all re-
cords of real winter and has eStab-
lished mark beyond anything in the
past % years, since when records have
been kept. The thermometer stood at
about below at midnight last night
and four below at daybreak.
1t was just II years ago today that
the next coldest' weather began, with
the mercury five degrees below zero,
but rising during the day to % above.
But there was but little snow on the
ground. The day before had seen the
thermOmeter at 40 degrees and only
an inch of snow fell that day The re-
cords of the weather at that time,
kept by H. S. Blandford state that
wheat was caught unprotected by the
cold and much was killed. The cold
weather of that year began January
13, with the mercury at five below,
and ended the 18th. with four below
the coolest. On January Is and 16,
however, it had been to 16 and II be-

great majority of the property owners
and residents of Walla Walla are not
aware of the fact that way down in
the brown, muSty volumes of city Or
dinanoes is one under the provisions
of which perhaps nine out of every ten
taxpayers might be fined a sum not
to exceed $40 and costs. For years no
notice has been, given that the law is
still in effect; and were it not for the
fact that the present weather has re-
called some of the big SHOWS of years
past. attention would probably not
now be turned in it's direction.
According to all authorities, the or
dinance was put into effect in the early
days when heavy SHOWS were much
more frequent than of recent years.
and for the following few years, peo-
PIE, to whom $40 looked like a small
fortune, were out bright and early, al
most before the snow had stopped
falling, shOveling off their walks.
The ordinance in question is desig-

In the cities of the state the beverage
