Little Comfort in Publication
The Copper Handbook for 190S. by
Horace j. Stevens. which recently made
its appearance, is a complete manual Of
the copper industry of the entire world.
This is the one book to which the miner
may turn with reasonable assurance
that he will find unbiased information
concerning properties or districts.
This volume will bring little comfort
to the large army of mining promoters
who sought few years ago and with
considerable success to convince the in.
vesting public that copper mines grew
ready. made on some of the Western
deserts. More than a score OF mining
companies that began operations dur
ing the Greenwater boom are listed.
aud after many OF them is the word /,
"Idle." One Los Angeles company
draws this comment: "Does fiamboyant

Another Mine Patent Ruling

1t is not necessary to prove that q
ledge extends entirely across . claim
for which o patent is asked. according
to the ruling of the Federal Land Office
at Reno. A Goldfield law irm recently
asked the Nevada Office whether. under
late ruling Of the Department. an ap.
plicant for patent would have to
show that the ledge extends entirely
across his claim before he could success
fully apply for patent. The reply re.
ceived is to the effect that this 10 not
necessary. but that the applicant must
show that the claim contains mineral.
This decision will open the way fos
several applications for patents which
have been held mp pending the adjust.
