The sheep situation presents a
few points that are somewhat
peculiar. Arizona and New Mex
leo had severe drouth the fore
part of the summer which cut
down their lamb supply fully one
half. The present price of wool is
sufficiently high that two clippings
are of greater value than the first
cost of the herd and on this
account many rangemen feel that
they would rather keep their sheep
for the wool alone than put them
on the market at prices that do
not suit them. On account of all
these conditions western sheep
and lambs will be turned off the
range only as the prices suit the
producer. They are making an
effort to sort their bands so that
the marketable stuff is nearly all
suitable for slaughter, thus cutting
down the available feeder supply
and this condition will prevail to
large extent all season, particu-
larly if the feeding end gets much
below present quotations.-Field
and Farm.
An old man accompanied by his
daughter about Is years old and a

Durango where relatives live.

and on reaching that place found

would have enough money to pay
expenses on the way. But he was
wrong again because when La Jara
was in sight and 145 miles of the
Journey covered their funds were
gone and their shoes also. The
girl worked a couple of days at the
hotel and the man got job in a
potato field. Sunday morning,

United States Land OFFICES.
Sirs:
The attention OF tho department has
been called to the last clause OF para
graph Al OF the mining regulations,
approved March 20, 1909, which pro-
yides aB follows:
The vein or lode must be fully de-
scribcd. the description TO include
statement as to the kind and char
acter OF mineral. the extent thereof,
whether ore has been extracted and or
what amount aud value and such other
facts as viii support the applicants
allegation that the claim contains u
valuable mineral deposit"
1t seems that the expression, "the
extent therof" Is being construed as
meaning that the applicant must af.
HimaiiyeIy show by proof of explora-
ton that the vein exists In fact
throughout the whole length OF the
claim.
This construction OF the paragraph
IL erroneous BY the words quoted
IL was intended TO require the claim
| dnt 10 show the existence OF IA vein
l In such workings as he relied on to
establish a discovery. by the extent
OF the vein WAS meant It's size and
quality as disclosed. That being done,
the presumption exists that the vein
extends on its strike throughout the
whole length OF the claim Al located.
The, sole purpose OF that part OF
paragraph Al quoted was to enable
the land department to know. al Tar
as applicant can reasonably show. the
definite facts upon which the right To
the patent is predicatcd so as to de-
termlne whether valuable mineral
deposit exists In the land claimed.
