to our attention frequently. Just now it is the finding Of ore in section of ths Cripple Creek district that was supposed to be barren. Some of these shoots are discovered near the sur face; others are found at depth. Some are discovered in velns that apex be- low the surface, and some have been missed by the merest chance.
 The value of the illustration is greater in camp like Cripple Creek than it would be in district like Goldfeld, because we naturally assume that the older district is, the more thoroughly demonstrated we are apt to find it, In camp that is only a few years old we look for new dis coveries.
 Cripple Creek is approximately r years old-and a good, healthy youth. Goldfeld is about five years old, and is lively, likely infant that is in line to win championship honors. We know that the past four months have demon strated the possibility of Lew finds in Goldfeld, and we may look for new series of discoveries as development work spreads out toward the portions of the region that have not been worked.
 But we need not confine our example to those districts. Leadville, which has reached the mature age of 30 years, is finding that what it consid- cred the outside section is just as prolific of results as the older inside portions of camp. Development, therefore, is inspired toward greater endeavors.
 We may go back farther to Clear Creek, Gilpin and Boulder counties of Colorado, and we find that, after hali century, new ore bodies are found with regularity that keeps us won- dering. And we might go back SC years to the California sections, only to discover that the age of making good is perennial. when we come to mining.
 In view of these facts, who knows how much value, stocks will possess in comparatively ''out side' propositions, if the charter is kept alive, and the corporate security of the company is looked after-Denver Mining Re cord

It is very evident that the coming summer is to bring large number of people to Alaska on a tour of investi- gation.
 The Daily Miner received many in quires about the country, a sample of which is printed below: Office of the Weekly Gazette.
 East Hartford. Conn.,, April 20. Dear Bro. Editor:
 As I shall be one of the many editors who will visit our town in early Au- gust, ask to have sent ne copy of the Daily and Weekly Miner so I may acquaint myself with the doings of your growing country.
 Yours truly

The new committee just elected to act with the town board in advertising Ketchikan m ight organize themselves into a public city board to handle just such cases and induce Mr. Hale to bring his friends along to see our opportunities for investment Some of them may be in the mood for mine investment, others may want to open pulp mills or ship fish.

Placer Claims Any Shape

A letter from the Department of the Interior addressed to John c. Bar Der, U. s. Mineral Surveyor, Ketchi- kan, gives the substance of new rul- ing governing the securing of patents on placer claims. The former ruling that claims must conform to the public land survey has been greatly modified, and now patents may be obuined even if the ralcer claim is somewha irregular in extent, providing i. is not grossly unreasonable in proportion as to width, length etc. A paragraph from the text of a recent decision reads as follows:
 "The Department is informed that most of the placer claims in Alaska are 1920 feet in length by eco feet in width also that in most cases the lines do not correspond to the rectangular subdivisions of our system of public surveys, that is to say, the bounding lines do not run on due north-and- south or east and-west courses but usually follow the lines of old creek beds. The placer claim in this case is in Alaska. It is entirley probable that the public lands in Alaska will not be surveyed to any great extent for years to come. The Director of ihe Geological Survey reports that he has given careful attention of mining conditions in A laska; that there are thousands upon thousansd of placer mining claims there; that practically none of them conform to the east-and- west or north- and-south lines of our system of public surveys; but that the claims are compact in form for the most part; that to attempt now to re- quire conformity would involve the clai mants in thousands of lawsuits. It is a matter of public history that the late rulings of this Department upon the question of conformity have deter red most of the placer claimants in Alaska from making application for patents. The owners prefer to hold their claims without securing patents and to work out the placer deposits and then abandon them. It is also true that with the very strict construction heretofore placed upon the law by the Department and the placer claimants are unable to sell or dispose of their claims to advantage. Investors do ot readily purchase unpatented lode or placer claims. They mutt be as sured that no conflicts or lawsuits can arise over the titles which they purchase. With a more liberal con. struction of the conformity provision of our placer act large number oi placer claimants in Alaska would ap. ply for patents, and thereby enrich the Government to the extent of many thousands, perhaps millions of dollars. The interests of Alaska demand more favorable construction of tho placer act. The Alaska miners are for the most part in the undisturbed and quiet possession of their respective placer claims. Our decisions on the conformity provision of the statute ought to encourage this harmony if possible rather than to precipitate lawsuits and strife and retard mining development. Placer claims in flask a in reasonable form containing the proper area, and located according to the rules, regulations and customs of miners, ought to be approved for patent.

 The Emerald Isle Is proud of Charles Beresford and Charlie is proud of his native land and countrymen. ''Irish- men may have their faults" he says ''but give me an Irishman-the best fel- low that ever was Could anybody tell more stories than the Irish?" One of the best stories he ever heard was about fellow who was very fond of shoot ing. He said: "The first bird I ever shot was a squirrel. and the first time I hit him I missed him altogether. and the next time hit him hit him in the same place, and after that I took a stone and dropped him from the tree, and he fell into the water and was shot, and that was the first bird ever shot.'' And Lord Charles is never tired. of quot ing the story of the Irish member of the house of commons who compared a cer- tain whisky to a "torohlight procession trickiing down his throat.''
