REGENT DECISIONS UP
 ON MINING LAWS
Mining - Adjacent Claims - Devel-
 opment Work.

Where several persons hold differ ent mining claims which are adja- cent, and work benefcially to all can best be done on one of them, under a proper agreement between the own CTS the development work can all be done on one end and credited to sev- eral claims, where such work eOnsti- tutes a general plan or scheme for the development of the several claims. It is the rule that develop ment work may be done outside the limits of claims and be credited there on if beneficial to all the claims for which the credit is asked, provided the claims are held in common.
 Hswgood vs. Emery (S. D. 119 1l9 Northwestern IF. January, 1909. Forfeiture of Claim - Development
 Work.
 One of two partners or owners of two or more elaine cannot prevent a forfeiture of his rights by his CO., partner by showing that he had per formed work on adjacent claims bene- ficial to the claims in litigation, he being the sole owner of a part of such adjacent claims and the owner in common with third persons of the other claims on which the work was done, in the absence of an agree ment between them for the doing of such work or a sufficient showing that the work was part of a general plan or scheme for the development of the claims owned by such partner in connection with those on which the work was done. The reason of this is that one partner cannot, in the absence of an agreement, perform work on property in which his CO., partner is not interested, and hold his co-partner liable therefor.
 Hawgood vs. Emery (S. D. 119 Northwestern TT. January, 1909. Liability of Owner of Mine for In
 jury to Employe of a
 Contractor.
 Where a contractor was working a portion of a mine under a contract with the owner, under which he mined the ore at a stated price and the owner retained control of the mine, and had the duty of inspecting and keeping the mine in safe condi- tiOn, an employe of such contractor was not a trespasser, nor a mere licensee, but was said to be there by invitation of the owner, and as to him the owner must exercise ordin- ary care and prudence to render such mine reasonably safe.

LAND DEPARTMENT TO
 PASS UPON LOCATIONS

From San Francisco comes the news that after four years of inves- tigation the interior department has decided that the officers of the United States land department have full au- thority to determine whether mining locations are based upon a bona fde discovery of mineral or whether the lands are really mineral in character before the locator has applied for a patent.
 In 1905 State Mineralogist Aubrey received one hundred or more let ters from ming men in Butte and Plumas counties, stating that H. H. Yard of the Western Pacific Rail- road company had been filing blanket locations over their claims, and ask ing how they could protect them selves. Aubrey learned that Yard had covered with placer locations more than 265,OOO acres of the best timber land in the Plumas national forest along the line of the Western Pacific.
 Aubrey became suspicious that Yards purpose was to make a big haul of timber when the railroad was completed. He at once notified the land office.
 Although Yards locations were made to get the timber without re- gard to the mineral or non-mineral character of the land, they in fact include some mineralized sections, and interfered with the operations of many legitimate miners whose unpat- ented claims were clouded by Yard s 265,OOO acres of blankets.
 When the United States land of flee began to sit up and take notice of Yards locations, his attorneys eontended that the government agents were without authority to de- termine the validity of these loca- tions. Yard had not made applica- tion for patents. Had this conten- ton been upheld doubtless all the timber would have been cut before this.
 But the commissioner of the gem eral land office did not agree with Yard s lawyers. He held that the of ficers of the land department had full authority in the premises. The secretary of the interior, in his de- cision, agreed with the commissioner, saying:
 ''This decision will not in any manner abridge rights of appellants who prospect and explore upon the public domain on equal terms with other prospectOrs. Appellants, how ever, have no right to interpose bar riers or to assert within the na- tional forests or elsewhere merely eOlOrable mining claims in order sup posedly to secure or protect their rights as mere prospectors and eN- plorers."
 This decision will enable the fed eral authorities to protect the legiti- mate mining prospeetor and locator from the interference of illegitimate and speculative promoters who at tempt to hold for speculative purposes large areas of government lande un- der "paper" mining locations with out compliance with the mining laws.
 "Though the decision applies to only eighty-fve placer locations in the Susanville distriet,' Aubrey says, "there is no doubt that it i, material to all the other Yard loca tions in the Plumas national for. est. When the blanket locations were made the promoters probably relied upon the release at some future time of these lands from the forest re serve"

THEY DEMAND S10,oO0
 FOR THE FRANCHISE
CFrom Thursdays pailyl


 Although the line of the Arizona Power company is now rapidly ap- preaching the city limits, it will not enter the municipal boundaries of Prescott, owing to the extraordinary conditions that have arisen, a de mand having been made upon the company for the payment of $1O,OOO for the transfer of the franchise from those who hold it.
 The franchise was granted by practically an unanimous vote at the election held in this city, last Jan uary.
 MT. Mason says that this demand for S10,00O was made upon him by parties interested in the franchise, and that the same had been rejected. He refused to make any definite statement as to the future plans of the company so far as they apper- tain to furnishing power in this city.
 MT. Mason has just returned from a months stay at the big plant on Fossil creek, attending to various matters incidental to his duties as the chief engineer of the enterprise. During this time, he says, the big storms to the east of Prescott have in no way interfered with the main generating station, but that lightning struck the wires several times. At every station on the long transmits sion line aluminium electrolytic light ming arresters are in position, this precaution having been taken when Ithe line was built
 In speaking of the progress of the work from Huron to Prescott, MT. Mason said that yesterday a force of forty additional men was sent out to assist those already at work. The wire is being placed up Eugenia Guleh today, and Walker will be the next point to be reached, some time in August. From that center, Poland will be connected, and Prescott will then be the objective point, the line running to the southern limits of the city.
 Humboldt IS being supplied at the present time with about 200 horse power, the connection having been made two days ago. The power is pronounced satisfactory. All shop machinery at the smelter is served, while the big compressor at the Blue Bell is propelled by the current gen erated at Fossil creek.
 At Jerome, MT. Mason says, all the big motors of the United Verde are in position, and in a few days they will be connected. The power generated for this place will run to l 1,5OO horse power
 Applications for the power of this company are coming in rapidly, and up to date fifty have been filled This is satisfactory to the company, and it is the belief of the manage ment that in short time the entire power available under present me ehanieal conditions will be absorbed Accordingly the company will begin work at once to place another gen orator in position, and expect to have it ready some time this fall.
 Only one of the three generators is used at the main works at the present time, but all have been test ed. Alternate days are set in which to make the tests, and each perfoms its work satisfactorily.
 A force of fifty men is still em ployed at Fossil creek.

firms supplying them have quite a
run on their stock during the rainy
season. They come in half sizes and
make an ideal hunting or fishing boot
for the modern Nimrod or Diana.
Accessories to these fishing and hunt
ing suits are seen In the shape of
brown canvas knapsacks which are
slung on the back and held in place by
a breast strap across the front These
will hold blanket, pillows or anything
that can be squeezed into a square
space of three feet. Carrying things
knapsack fashion leaves the hands free,
and is not nearly SO firing as the usual
method of valise or bag packing.
Nearly everything that one wishes to
use on a trip can be slowed away in
one of these roomy receptacles, which
are wholly rainproof and can be made
to serve as a pillow when nothing bet
ter is to be had.
After the knapsack comes the elder
down sleeping bag, which weighs only
seven pounds and which is well adapted
for use on that account The outside
is made of green khaki. which does
not readily soil, and the inner portion Is
lined with sateen in any color They
are warm and not so hard when placed
on the ground as one might think. If
one is rather particular about the
springiness of his bed he can gather
a few boughs, which placed under the
sleeping bag make. an ideal sanitary
couch under the stars
