TO PATENT MINE CLAIMS.
Attorneys Write Article On Procedure to
Be Followed for That Purpose.

The following article on mine
patenting was prepared by Richard
son & Doan, mining and corporation
lawyers of Douglas, for the Ell Paso
Mining Journal and appeared in that
publication recently:
The owner of a mining claim,
located in compliance with the
United States statutes and the
statutes and laws of the state or ter
ritory within which the claim is stu
ated, may apply to the United States
for patent after the location is per-
fected. Assuming that the law has
been complied with relative to the
discovery of mineral and the per-
Torrance of the acts necessary to
vest title in the applicant, the pro-
cedure is as follows:
The Official Survey-The claimant
selects some deputy mineral surveyor
to make the survey and makes ar
engagements for the work. He then
applies to the surveyor-geheral for
the district in which the claim is
situated, asking that an official or
der be issued directing the deputy
selected to survey the claim. This
application is accomplished by GER
titled copy of the location notice of
the mine, and a certificate of de-
posit for $50 issued by a sub-treas-
urer of the United States depository
authorized to accept such deposits.
The applicant in making the deposit
should give the name of the owner,
so that the certificate will contain
the information. The deposit is for
the purpose of paying for the office
work in the suryeyor-general's office.
Upon receipt of the application. the
surveyor-general issues an order and
forwards it to the deputy, who makes
the survey in accordance with the in
structions furnished by the depart
ment, and makes returns to the sur
veyor-general. IL due time there is
forwarded to the claimant copy of
the field notes of the surveyor, and
two copies of the official plat. The
Olei NhNh MS PPiiSel-
ton papers, which consist of the fol
lowing:
THE PRELIMINARY PAPERS.
The Notice-This notice states
claimant has filed an application for
patent for the claim, and describes it
in practically the same manner in
which it is described in the field
notes, with the exception that the
description is condensed as much as
possible without destroying its COM
pleteness. The notice is signed by
the applicant and witnessed by two
witnesses who are present at tt e
posting, which must be at some con
spicuous point on the claim, where it
is posted with one copy of tie plat.
Proof of Posting Notice-The two

The increase in the plumber of
deaths of pneumonia, reported, is 20
per cent
The increase in the number of
deaths of whooping cough is from
nothing last year to seven cases this
year Nine of the 1903 deaths occurred
throughout the trritory in October
and November.
A pleasing report is found respect
ing scarlet fever, the decrease being
from II cases last year to none this
year. Nine of the 1908 deaths oc-
Cured in Apache county, in which a
very widespread epidemic prevailed.
Also in the matter of diphtheria
the result is encouraging. The num-
Der reported in 1908 under partial re-
gistration was IL, while in 1909, under
a much fuller registration, the num-
Der is reduced to three. There was
during the past quarter an increase
in the reported diarrhoeal diseases of
infants under two years of age, but it
is largely attributed to better regis
tration in most of the southern coun-
ties. Deaths of infants under three
months old show an increase of 300
per cent. while deaths from old age
during the past quarter, failed to
double. This in part is due to more
care in stating the cause of death.
The number of violent deaths from
causes other than suicide and homi-
eide, increased from 81 to 81 largely
due to increases in deaths from mines
and quarties. Last year it was i'm
possible in many cases to aggregate
the deaths of this sort into the pres
ent classification as they were merely
reported as accidental deaths.''
There was an increase in suicides
from three to ten and a decrease of
homicides from seven to four.
Deaths from all other definite
causes, according to the returns,
more than doubled, while there has
been but very slight increase in
deaths from i'll defined causes. These
latter were largely among Indians
and Mexicans, death occurring in
isolated places without medical at
tendance.
The male mortality increased about
8 per cent, being GA per cent in 1908,
and 81 per cent in 1900. The white
mortality shows relative decrease
of about 9 per cent. being 10 per cent
in 1908 and 81 per cent in 1909.
The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1910-03-03

Some interesting deductions have
been made by comparison with the
figures returned for the last quarter
os the preceding year. 1908. They
are mainly interesting, though, as
showing a more complete registration
and a more accurate analysis as to
causes of death, etc. The registra-
tion in 1908 was so incomplete that
comparisons for the purpose of show
whether the health of the territory
is better or worse, or whether any
certain disease is greater or less wide
spread, are practically valueless. A
year hence, however, such compar:-
sons can be made to much better pur-
pose for the registration now is at
least fairly complete.
1t Will take a long time perhaps,
for the registration system to reach
actual perfection, taking into consi'
deration the Indian reservations and
all of the out of the way places in
this sparsely settled country, espe-
cially in respect of births, but deaths
are more closely watched and it is
believed that this last quarter pretty
well covers the ground.
There is also better analysis than
a year ago, respecting the deaths
that are registered. The diseases are
better classified and general terms
have been superseded by more specific
terms. The figures given as percent
ages, therefore, are not actual per
centages of Increased death rate in a
given number of people but merely
the percentage over the number re-
ported last year, and in one notable
instance, that of typhoid fever, there
was no report of deaths a year ago
from either Cochise or Maricopa
county, while it is morally certain
that there were deaths of that disease
in both counties. That throws the
percentage of increase up to 500 per
cent. terrific and under the circum-
stances, a meaningless figure.
The increase in the total reported
registration of deaths during the last
quarter over that of a year ago is 60
per cent.
The increase in the number of
deaths of tuberculosis of the lungs
reported is 135 per cent.

Stiff Neck.

Stiff neck is caused by rheumatism

usually confined to one side, or to the
back Of the neck and one side. While
it is often quite painful, quick relief
may be had by applying Chamberlain's

tism in ten requires internal treat
ment. When there is no fever and
no swelling as in muscular and chronic
rheumatism, Chamberlain Liniment
will accomplish more than any
internal treatment. For sale by all

PROVEN ECZEMA CURE

For several years we have an
nounced, with our recommendation.
that we had found positive cure for
eczema; a simple skin wash, oil of
wintergreen compound with other
healing ingredients.
Yet we know there are people
right in this town who have eczema.
and still have never tried this remedy
We have, therefore, arranged with
the D. d. d. Laboratories of Chicago
for a special offer of a trial bottle at
25 cents instead of the $l00 bottle
as regularly sold Be sure of the cor
rect name: d. D. d. Prescription.
We offer this trial bottle with our
recommendation and assurance that
just as soon as the patient washes his
itching skin, this mild liquid will
take the itch away instantly.
