OFFICIAL SURVEY OF MINING
CLAIMS

Existing laws require the claim
ant of mineral location to have a
correct official survey of his claim
made under the authority of the
surveyor general of the State or
Territory in which his claim is stu
ated prior to making application to
the officers of the local land office
for patent thereto, in view of the
fact that the official survey is the
basis of such application for patent.
One copy of the approved plat of
survey is furnished the claimant or
his attorney by the surveyor gen.
eral, which plat, together with a
copy of notice of his intention to
apply for patent is required to be
posted in a conspicuous place on his
claim. After posting said plat and
notice upon the premises, the claim
ant will file with the register and
receiver of the local land office for
the district in which his claim is
situated application for patent, and,
if no reason appears for the rejec-
tion of the application, the register
will, at the expense of the claimant,
publish notice of such application
for patent for a period of sixty
days in the newspaper published
nearest the claim.
From the foregoing it is obvious
that, in order to secure copy of
the plat of survey~so as to enable
the claimant to post the same for
sixty days prior 70 tbs end Of -ths

mineral survey should be filed in
this Office at the earliest possible
date. in order to insure the receipt
by the claimant of the approved
plat Of his survey not later than
October 20, 1909. This will avoid,
the necessity Of the claimants doing
annual assessment work on each To-
cation for the succeeding calendar
year, In the event of the issuance of
final certificate by the register of
the local land Office prior. to the end

"My son was cured of a very
bad case of epilepsy with DR..

"My little daughter who was

MRS. C. G. BENNETT,

Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases Of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost Of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

in connection Herewith.
All applications for the survey of
public lands are examined in the
field by an agent of the government,
appointed for the purpose, in order
to determine the good faith, actual
residence, ETC., of the applicant. If
such field examination develops the
fact that the settlers claim is not
located In the township stated in
his application, he should immedi-
ately file new application, proper
ly describing the location of his
claim therein. 1t therefore be-
hooves the applicant to be on the
lookout for the special agent and
ascertain from him whether his ap-
plication has been correctly exc
cuted.
Surveys of homestead entries
within the limits of National Forests
are executed under the jurisdiction
of the Surveyor General, at the ex-
pense of the claimant, in accordance
with the provisions of the Act of
Congress approved June II, 1906.
Further instructions relative to
the method of procedure in the
matter of securing the survey Of

given in reply to communications

Of life there is an additional argu-
iment to be made against the tariff
on lumber, namely, that it encour.
ages the destruction of our. forests.
1t is criminal folly to offer a bounty
for the destruction of our forests
at the very time when we are fright
ened at the climatic and other evils
which follow in the train of this
destruction.
The average labor cost is but
little more than one-half the pres
ent tariff, and this means that the
protectionists, instead of asking for
a tariff just equal to the difference
in the cost of production here and
abroad, are demanding a tariff of
more than the entire cost of pro-
duction. The democrat who votes
for the endorsement of the protec-
tive principle may as we'll make up
his mind to swallow the entire re-
publican program, for he will soon
find that in order to get the pro-
lection he wants for his district, he
must agree to protect the trusts
and to permit predatory wealth to
have all its demands, for the favor
seeking interests stand together and
make trading material of the legis-
lators whom they control.
The only safe position for demo-
crat to take is that the tariff should
be levied and collected for the pur-
pose of raising revenue and not for
the benefit of any particular interest
or industry. Whatever protection
there is should be incidental; as
soon as protection becomes the pur.
pose, then the Legislative session is
given up to log-rolling, wire-pulling
and combination of interests. The

A. N. Strickland of Florence, and

placer mining in the auriferous sands
along the river bank in the upper

convinced that the enterprise can be
made a paying proposition. MI.
Strickland acquired title to a large
tract of land there several years ago
by government patent and is in posi-
ton to carry on mining operations
there without danger of molestation
from the FOLDERS of private property.
The placers alluded to are located
about half a mile this side Of Park
dale in what was apparently the bed
of the Arkansas river in prehistoric
times, perhaps, many thousands of
years ago. There is at this point, an
immense bed of gold-bearing sand, es-
timated to contain two hundred thou
sand cubic yards, showing values up
on its surface ranging from seventeen
cents to several dollars. At one place
in this ancient sandbar. which slopes
back to the walls of the canon, Mr..

running up as high as four hundred

FRONTIER SKETCHES

The death of Senator ;Wllliam A.
Stewart in Washington ,recently, re-
moved another OF the fine old charact-
ars OF the frontier. In 1860 he went to
Virginia City, Nevada, and engaged in
mining litigation as well as in the de-
velopment of the Comstock lode
which eventually poured an ocean of
wealth into his lap. In 1861 the Ter
ritory of Nevada was created. Stewart
was then practicing law at Carson
City. Mark Twain tells how great riv-
airy existed between Carson City and
Virginia City as to which should be the
capital. Virginia City had an over
whelming majority OF votes and
counted the prize as won but her sons
overlooked the keen-eyed gentleman

miles, away, Someone casually asked

but politics was in his brain and from
that time forward he held the guiding
reins tightly in his grasp.
There was no demand for statehood
in the new territory, but the necessity
for a new state was keenly felt in
Washington. In 1864 an enabling act
was passed admittiny Nevada into the
union in order that her two senator's
might be of service to the administra-

ator entered upon his work with the

and supported warmly the fourteenth
amendment. He might have settled the
