Erroneous location of a mining
claim, resulting in the lode line ira
versiug the claim laterally, instead
of longitudinally as desired, has the
effect of restricting the locator to
that length on the lode which CORE
spends to the width of the claim,
that is, to a maximum of 600 feet.
In other words, as construed by the
courts in such cases, the originally
intended end-lines become side-lines,
and the side-lines become end-lines
for purposes of determining the ex-
ira lateral right. An amendment of
such location may be made at will,
but in so doing the amended location
becomes junior to all contiguous or
neighboring claims, and cannot con-
cede any extra-lateral right in con-
hict with those properly pertaining
to them. The claimant, under such
circumstances, may easily lose more
than he would gain by amending.

Mispickel is exceedingly brittle,
and tends to produce large amount
of fine material when it is crushed,
thus causing large losses in concen-
tration. Hence, when the ore is
"bunchy" and labor is cheap, it pays
to practice cobbing. Otherwise the
ore should be crushed to the least ex-
tent compatible with the liberation
of a quantity of the mispickel from
its gangue sufficient to render con-
centration on a jig economical. The
failing from the jig should then be
reground in rolls, classified, and the
coarser product concentrated on
jigs, and the fine product on some
form of riffietable washer.

Zinc is less efficient as a precipi-
tant than a zinc-couple with some
other metal such as lead. In prac-
tice such a couple is made by i'm.
mersing the freshly cut z:nc-thread
in solution of 10 per cent. of ace
tate of lead. Agitation in the solu-
tion results in chemical inter
change, zinc acetate passing into
solution. and lead being precipitated
as film on the zinc-thread. A great
objection to this method is the large
percentage of lead remaining in the
gold precipitates, this being often as
| high as 20 per cent. Where the pre-
cipitates are cleaned up by fusion
with litharge and cupelling such an
objection does not apply.

Gold solvents are few in number, as
compared with the solvents of all
the common metals, except plati-
mum. The two cheapest solvents are
potassium or sodium cyanide, and
chlorine. The latter used in solution
for teaching gold is growing in favor.
1t has been applied in that way at
Mount Morgan; Australia, with bril-
liam success, for some years. Such
open-yat lixiviation with calorine
water is also being used at Goldfeld,
Nevada There are no other solvents
available at moderate prices to
which gold is as sensitive as to these.

true, a commission cannot make tariffs,
but it can do something as important.
1t can ascertain facts and give them
to the public. The great difficulty in
tariff making is ignorance. There are
dozens of schedules which nobody but
an expert knows anything about Only
a few men in Congress are competent
70 debate the wooden schedules or steel
schedules, for instance, and when they
thresh out their differences the country
is about as wise when they finish as it
was when they began. There is not
one voter in a thousand who can vote
intelligently on the tariff. Weeks of
Congressional debate leave the great
majority Laundering in maze of
doubt and uncertainty, satisfied of but
one thing, and that is that the in
terests chiefly concerned and which
know what they want have had more
to do than anybody else with deter
mining duties.
Nhen we get the innings OF non
partisan body we will have something
better to tie to than the doctored data
of those whose chief concern is to get
all they can out of the grab bag. Even
if a commission cannot make tariffs
when accurate information is had,
way will probably be found to force
Congress to respond to enlightened
public opinion.
The great mass of people wish to do
the right thing in tariff making; to
give the manufacturer a square deal;
TO give the wOrkingman whatever pro-
lection he ought to have; to protect an
infant industry when it ought to be
protected, but now it doesn't know how,
and it doesn't believe Congress knows.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF

apprehension on the part of railroad
men are becoming more and more fire.

has by no means been the opposition
from the railroads and friends of the
railroads that was shown four years

THE WEATHER AND Wealth
Err STATISTICS.

1t is an old trick Of the weather
man, when held responsible for the
yiclssitudes OF the season, to drag a
herring across the trail by giving out
a batch of statistics to demonstrate
that there have been worse conditions.
lie IS doing it now. Hardly a day
passes that he does not produce data
to show that some time in the past
there have been more wet days in the
same length of time or that more
water fell within certain number Of
hours than has fallen this spring.
OF course, nobody gives heed to him.
There never was such a wet season.
Everybody, except the weather man,
knows 1t. If there is one thing about
which the average mans memory is
infallible, it is the weather. He does
not profess to foreteH what it is going
to be-though, at that, he won't take
second place to some other people who
claim to DO so-but when it comes to
saying what has been, he declines to
take a back seat.
No weather man living can make us
believe that atmospherical conditions
were ever as bad as those of which
we complain at this or any other time.
and he needn't try. The mere fact
that as much water fell or didn't fall.
that the thermometer was higher or
lower, amounts TO nothing. It is ones
mental attitude toward the conditions
"hlch counts. If, as Mrs. Gummidge
was wont to say, when told that the
east wind was not particularly bad.
that she "felt it more" than other
people, what good would it have done
for weather man to produce lot of
figures? She wouldn't have looked at
them. As honest a diary as that Of
John Evelyn, who saw almost the
whole Of the seventeenth century. is
full of remarks about the weather,
such as extraordinary wet7 or sex
traordinary dry;" that he had never
seen such a storm, OF such tempest,
or such fall of snow, or such a back
ward spring. Year in and year out he
notes these vagaries of the weather,
until one is brought to think that
nothing in the world is quite so certain
as the fickleness Of The seasons.
But for this shall we condemn John
Evelyn as an untrut III historian? OF
course not; though at that time no
doubt there were people on hand to
point out that there was nothing re-
markable about the weather he was
keeping tabs on, and who could re-
member much worse. If it helps TO
think that the weather beats all that
was ever recorded for general cussed-
ness, shall a prognosticator rob US of
this solace? Not for a moment. II is
mprecedentedly wet, no matter what
the records say.S

REPRESENTATIVE JOHNSON
ON CLERKS PENSIONS.

Representative Johnson of South
Carolina, in the debate on the general
deficiency bill In the House, took occa-
sion TO denOunce the plan of providing
a pension and retirement system for
Government clerks and employees. Mr..
johnson said he belonged to a class Of
people who believed that when the
work of a Government empIoye stop
ped his pay should stop. He was APP
parently impressed with the fact that
once the system of pensioning some of
the employees is entered on, it must be
carried through all the branches Of
the Government service and made gen.
eraL More than this, he thought the
Pensioning of Government employees
would prove the entering wedge to old
age pensions in this country.
But representative Sulzer raised a
question IN this connection which can
not be answered when all phases Of 1t
are considered in any other practical
way than to say that a pension and
retirement system must be had.
What would you dc" asked Mr..
Sulzer, with a man who had served
practically all his life in a Government
position, and was old, decrepit, and
poor?"
Mr.. johnson said he preferred leav-
ing him on the pay rolls to creating a
civil pension list whose magnitude
could not be computed.
But the evils of leaving men who
have reached old age and cannot do a
days work on the pay rolls seem to
us to be greater than any harm that
may arise from a civil pei sion list.
The present system of the Government
works badly in various respects. The
Government is the loser by it. pro-
motion for efficiency is interfered with.
the tendency is to stagnation in the
Government service. And when clerks
are Topped off, it is the old and the
poor who suffer.
4t Is a grave problem at best, one
not easily worked out. But in view of
the fact other countries have been
A-iven to the civil pension system, and
"a view Of the fact that the best bust
ness brains Of the country in private
establishments are being driven to re-
tlrement systems, there seems to be
but one way to solve it. Congress will
do well to stop arguing objections to
pension and retirement plans. and set
about the constructive task of pro-
viding one.

ago. Public men have been to some
degree educated on the railroad ques-
ton. They are showing more enlighten-
ment, more grasp of it. And railroad
managers are more and more reeog-
nizing that they must submit to Gov
ernment regulation.
Can the Government successfully
regulate the railroads and other car
riers? On the answer TO this question
depends whether Government owner
ship shall come. 1t is not improbable
that on the success or failure of the
very legislation Congress is now pass
ing, and such additions to it as will
come in the next few years, rests the
question of whether the roads con
tinue to be owned privately or whether
the public takes them over. The people
of the United States doubtless prefer
to have the roads in private hands.
But they viii insist on square dealing,
no matter how they have to secure it.
This is another way of saying in
effect that the railroad managers them
selves can bring on Government owner
ship or avoid it. If they will CO.
operate with the Government in an
earnest effort to make regulation a
success and not try to balk it, Gov
eminent ownership is far of. Other
wise, advocates Of ownership may be
expected steadily to increase. 1t Is
noticeable that President Willard is
quoted as ready and willing to accept
the idea of Government control.
