LOCATING ON PATENTED LAND

Many people seem to labor under
the impression that locations can
be ""de upon patented and decided
land should discovery of mineral
or oil be made upon the same by
outside parties. Such is not the
case. however, and any person
entering upon private property
with any such intention is notl ing
more than trespasser.
Our atten:ioa has been called to
this matter through the violations
of law recently enacte in North
Salt Lake and in Morgan county
Utah.
In tne first case, what was
purported to be an oil discovery
resulted in claims being staked all
over patented and decided property.
regardless Of ownership and the
rights Of landed proprietors. The
second case transpired in Morgan
county. where ore was encountered
in digging well on q tact of farm
ing land. When this discovery
was made locators got busy and
the whols adjacent country is now
staked. and we understand that
preparations are being made to
begin work in the way of mine
development.
When deed or patent Is issued
to land, whether m lining or agri-
cultural in character, the owner 10
entitled to everything It contains,
regardless Of the fact that he was
not aware Of its existence at the
time the title passed. and he can
claim everything half way down
to China. The mining laws of TIE
United States are very clear on
this point. and specifically state
that all lands open to location
must b- pubic land. In chapter 6,
section 2319, revised statutes, the
statement is made: "All valuable
deposits In lands belonging to the
United Safes, both surveyed and
unsurveyed. are hereby declared
to be free and open to exploration
and pur chase, by citizens Of the
United States, and those who have
declared their intentions to become
such. under regulations prescribed
by law and according to the legal
customs or rules Of miners in the
several mining districts, so far as
the same are applicable and not in.
consistent with the laws Of the
United States"
Land that has been patented, or
properly decided, is not public
land neither does It belong to the
United States. Iii just as much
private property as Q city block
and anyone attempting to locate
on the same IL as much . trespsss-

Carl Miracle Charged With Killing Man and Woman in

Carl Miracle, white man, said to be badly wanted in Pineville, Ky, for the murder of man and woman, was cap tured here yesterday afternoon by ex- Policeman Byrd and Officer Whitfield, near the Louisville and Nashville station. Miracle was pointed out to the officers by a man whose name they did not want to divulge.
 He was taken to the police station and questioned. Chief Bodeker sent a tele- gram to the sheriff at Pineville, telling him of the capture, and about dark last night a wire was received from the Blue Grass officer saying: Hold Carl Miracle at all hazards"
 The particulars of the crime could not be learned, as Miracle refused to talk of the murder, but it is said that he con- fessed to the officers that he is the man wanted. Officers from Kentucky will be in Birmingham in a day or two to con- vey the alleged murderer back to their state,

But am not apprised of the plan which must affect several hundred thousand farmers except through newspaper "e- ports, and am not familiar with the intricate details essential to the success of so tremendous movement. It would therefore be unjust to it's. projectors, to the farmers and to myself to express a definite opinion in advance of full and definite information.
 Cotton is being held and will be held. No one who has recently travelled through the south doubts that. I am in receipt of a letter from c. B. Howard, secre- tary of the Southeastern Cotton Buyers association, who says that farmers are now holding greater amount of cotton than ever before.' He is certainly in a position to know. We are welcoming aid from all sources to the end of strength- ening position already strong. We are learning, however to view each propo- sition from purely business standpoint. That is why I wish to scrutlnize in de- tail each plan presented before express ing an ultimate opinion
