Need Mermaid, Not Engineer

Morton Weber. the Scotch English
mining engineer, is somewhat of an
Abernethy in the abruptness of his
methods.
Possibly his experience in passing up
on all sorts of copper and gold proper
ties has given him a tendency to briefly
dismiss that optimism which is Rlaring-
ly unlocked by mining values. Ia one
instance. after listening to the solicit
tations of a syndicate who insisted he
examine a gold mine which water diff
~culties made commercially impossible,
the engineer lost his slight stock of pa
thence and said:
"Gentlemen, you don't need a min
ing engineer; what you want is q mer-
maid"

LAND OFFICE MAKES RULING
Official Correction of Error in
The Mining Regulations for
Obtaining a Patent

The General Land Office. Department
Of the Interior. at Washington. has sent
out to the various land offices a ruling
in the matter Of the description OF a
lode or vein which must accompany APP
plications for patents in mining lands.
which simplifies the description which
has heretofore been required OF the lode
or vein in these applications.
The ruling. which bears the date Of
June II. 1909, aud which is signed by
Fred bennett. Commissioners of the
General Land Office. aud is approved
by r. A. Ballinger. Secretary, is as fol-
lows:
'.The attention Of the Department
has been called to the last clause OF
paragraph Al Of the mining regula-
tions, approved March 80. 1909. which
provides as follows:
1.-The vein or lode must be fully des-
cribed, tue description to include q
statement 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 allegation that
the claim contains a valuable mineral
deposit
at seems that the expression. h
extent thereof is being construed as
meaning thai the applicant NUT az
Tentatively show by proof of explora-
zion that the vein exists in fact through.
out the whole length of the claim.
This construction OF the paragraph
is erroneous. BY the words quoted 1t
was intended 70 require the claimant to
show the existence of a vein in such
workings az he relied on to establish a
discovery. BY the extent OF the vein
was meant the sizs and quapity as dis
| closed. That being done. the presump.
| ton exists that the vein extends on its
strike throughout the whole length OF
the claim as located.
1.-THE sole purpose of that part of
paragraph Al quoted was to enable the
land department to know. so far as
| applicant can reasonably show. the def
mite facts upon which the right to the
mineral 10 ~predicated. SO as to deter
mine whether a valuable mineral de-
post exists in the land claimed"

The DuCkWatGr Suit
Communicated

EDITOR SENTINEL: | notice in a late
number of the SENTINEL an article on
the Duck water lawsuit, which is so
manifestly one-sided that l must no
tice it.
The decree granted by the Supreme
Court, issued &c years ago. permitted
the removal of distractions nearest"
until the requisite 300 inches of water
was obtained.
AS to the waste of water there are,
suppose, two sides to that. In July and
August are the times when the crops
depend on the water. and if there is a
Surplus, it Is probably lot then.
Pubic opinion is a great power. and
should not be unfairly built up. nor the
story Of one side talked fully without
hearing the other.
Respectfully,
Miss II. S. IRWIN.

To Keep Light Dresses Clean

Magnesia may be obtainsd either in
powder or in square cakes, and it is very
effective in cleaning laces and delicate
fabrics. Sift or rub it on the parts to be
cleaned. and Jay them away in a box or
drawer where they will be undisturbed
for a day or so, and then shake them
out. 1t is a very good plan to apply
the magnesia in this way when putting
away party dresses that have become
slightly soiled. The magnesia absorbs
the dust, and when you take the dresses
out to wear them tne next time, they
will be fresh and dainty. The magnesia
is also effective. when applied in the
same way. for removing grease spots

Bullion Tax and the Square Deal
Why is it that q man who is other
wise honorable and honest will pad his
expense account and lap mp his profits
in mining until the bullion tax.man has
to go to court to make q collection? The
bullion tax is reasonable enough. and 1t
is as legitimate a part Of the expense OF
successful mining operations as is the
cost of labor or powder. Without seem
ing to pass Judgment on the merits OF
the Legal CONTROVERSY now pending
against ths Silver Peak Company. we
wish to express a hope that the miners
of this State will be brought to an ap.
probation Of their obligations IN
the matter.-Bullfrog Miner.
