the case. Statements or certifications
contained in the certificate not re-
quired by statute, Or in excess of the
requirements of the statutes or rules.
are immaterial and surplusage, but
such statements cannot have the eff
feet of yitiating the instrument as a
certificate or notice.
Perhaps the certificates are found
faulty as TO the descriptions contain
ed in them more than in any other
particular, and while faulty de-
scriptions are always to be eyaded,
yet, faults in the description are not
always fatal. Morrison, in his Min
ing Rights" makes this imperative
rule: The discovery shaft should
always be treated a s an essential
point of description, and tied to some
near and prominent monument, with
course and distance therefrom, be-
cause 1t is a much more permanent
monument than any stake or corner.
In addition, n or more corners
should be tied to other natural OBJ
jects or permanent monuments, a
government corner or discovery shaft
of an approved survey being unob-
~jectionable.'
The so-called "metes and bounds
description should be employed in
every possible case, and just what
constitutes Indebtedness in a de-
scription must necessarily depend on
the circumstances of each case.
Numerous certificates have been re-
fused admission in evidence because
of this indefiniteness in the contained
description. or for such reasons as
these: Failure TO give the length
each way from discovery shat"
tStoekower VS.. Hunter, IS Pac. go
Failure to give dimensions of dis
covery shaft" (Helena Co. VS.. Bag
goley, 81 Pac. 400 Failure to call

(Mutchmor VS.. Mccarthy. 81 Pae.
(Calif.) So
The essentials mentioned and pro.
yided in the states or rule must be
followed absolutely; otherwise, when
the certificate is, at the vital moment
called upon to fulfill its contemplated
functions, ii will be found inadmissi-
BILE in evidence, and will fail him who
has relied upon it in the very essen
tial for which it vas prepared and
filed. A good term TO remember in
the preparation of these instruments
is the term of the legal profession:
Follow the language Of the statute"
An exact following of the language OF
the statute is not mandatorily inn
pesed on any one at any time. bur
to so regard this old expression saves
many from error.

FARM LAb0RERS GET
HIGH WAGES IN NEVADA
THIS COMMONWEALTH OCCUPIES
FIRST PLACE IN THE MATTER
OF COMPENSATION TO TILLERS
OF THE SOIL.

According to statistics just
made public by the department of
agriculture. higher wages were paid
to American farm laborers during
1910 than at any time in the last as
years. The average wage for the
country was $27.50 per month dur
ing 1910 while 20 years ago they
were only 1888.
In some parts of the country the
rate of wages of farm laborers was
higher than in others. The highest
was in Nevada where the rate was
$54 while in Montana and Washing
ton it was $50.
South Carolina paid the lowest
rate, $3.50.
In the New England and North
Atlantic states the average was
$33.19 with Massachusetts, paying
the highest, S37.66.
In the south Atlantic states the
average was $19.75 with West Vir-
ginia paying the highest. s29. West of
the Mississippi, the average was
S35.35 with the highest, S37.25. With
board, the average vas $22.49. In
the north Dakota paying the highest,

$3.50. In the southern central
states, the average was s21.90 with
Oklahoma paying the highest, $3.50.

OF
MINING CLAIMS
LEADING AUTHORITY QUOTES
LAW AND MAKES PLAIN THE
IMPORTANCE OF GIVING AT
TENTION TO THIS FEATURE.

Much mention has been made in
popular literature of the recordation
of the mining claim. Probably every
reader of this article has. at some
race between two or more discover
ers' of IN outcrop, to the nearest
register where the record of the min
ing claim is to be filed and made,
says Emerson w. Read in Mining
Science. So popluarly known is the
rule of first in time, first in right
that numerous instances have arisen
wherein, in the haste of making the
discovery a matter of record, and
of course, of giving constructive
notice to all who subsequently STUN
BILE upon the outcrop of other evil
dence of hidden wealth. the discover
ers recorded their certificate or
notice before the formal parts of
location has been properly attended
to and observed according to law.
How often, too, have We observed. in
this popular literature, the villain
failing to reap the harvest that at
taches to his ill-gotten claim, first
record" by himself, because, in his
haste, he had overlooked one indis-
pensable federal requirement.
The federal statutes pertaining to
mining claims and mineral lands on
the public domain require that:
The location must be distinctly
marked on the ground so that its
boundaries can be readily traced.
All records of Mining claims
hereafter made shall contain the
name or lanes of the locators, the
date of the location. and such a des-
cription of the claim or claims To-
Gated by reference to some natural
object or permanent monument as
will identify the claim. (Rey. Stat.
Sec. 2324.)
The essentials, few and limited in
their scope as they are, must be com
piled with, and no mining district
rule or state statute can operate to
the contrary. Mining district rules
and state statutes, however. often
amplify them; as, for instance. the
statutes of the state of Colorado,
which provide, among other things,
that the claimant mark the surface
boundaries by six posts hunk in the
ground, one at each cornor and one
at the center of each side line, hew-
ed or marked on the side or sides in
towards the claim" Colorado also
requires that location be completed
in all five of its features, as they ap-
pear in Colorado statutes, before the
claimant a legally file his certif-
cate.
What constitutes that filing of
certificate, or recordation? The an
swer to this question, as found in the
federal statutes, is exceedingly brief.
1t is as follows: "All records of
mining claims hereafter made shall
contain the name or names of the To-
Gators, the date of the location. and
such a description of the claim or
claims located by reference to some
natural object or permanent monu-
ment as will identify the claim
9vide supra.)
Colorado. in the answer of that
state to the above question, as shown
by its revised statutes provides that
the d%iscoverer of the lode shall within
three months after the date of dis
covery, record his claim in the office
of the recorder of the county in
which such lode is situated, by a To-
