sort to run over the Georgia railroad
in more than FIVE days, an engine and
mail car. left here at 7,30 O'Clock this
morning The train pulled out through
a deep lane of spectators at the sta
tion but there was no demonstration
The partial resumption of the train
service, although the train put into
operation carries the mail only, gives
a new ray of hope for an early termi-
nation of the firemens strike.
The date Of resumption of freight
and passenger traffic is problematical,
being dependent upon the concessions
from both firenien and railroad com
pany
The announcement from Augusta
last night to the effect that of the
twelve firemen designated to handle
the mail trains today ten were negroes
and two nom union white men, did
not meet with general approval here,
since the striking white firemen had
volunteered their services to aid in
the movement of the mail trains. 1t is
feared the presence on the trains Of
negro firemen will further incite the
sympathizers of those in the smaller
towns along the Georgia railroad. The
authorities at all towns along the road
have been asked to exhaust every
effort TO insure the safety of the trains

SIRS: The attention Of the depart
ment has been called to tn elast clause
of paragraph Al of the mining regula.
tions, approved March 29, 1909, which
provides as follows:
"The vein or lode must be fully de-
scribed, the description to include q
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 applicants allega-
tion that the claim contains a valua-
BILE mineral deposit"
1t seems that the expression, "the
extent thereof is being construed as
meaning that the applicant must af-
irmatively show by proof of explora-
tion that the vein exists in fact
throughout the whole length Of the
claim
This construction of the paragraph
is erroneous. By the words quoted it
was intended to require the claimant
to show the existence of vein in such
workings as he relied on to establish
a discovery. BY the extent Of the vein
was meant its size and quantity as dis
closed. That being done, the presump-
tion exists that the vein extends on its
strike throughout the whole length Of
the claim as located
The sole purpose of that part of
Al quoted was to enable the
land department to know, so far as ap-
plicant can reasonably show, the def
mite facts upon which the right to the
patent is predicted so as to determine
whether valuable mineral deposit ex-
