FIGHT RUL|Nf5 IN
 MINERAL. LANDS
Government Will Not Let Mining Lc. cations Go Without They Are Con- sidered to Have Plenty of
 Ore in Sight.

Important rulings tending to draw mineral land locations have been re. ceived here from Washington by Receiver Charles Arnold of the local
 United States land office. According to MT. Arnold, the new rulings havo been issued by the government off, cials in an effort to check the opera tions of wildcat promoters.
 Mining engineers here, however, consider that one of the rulings will have the effect of checking develop :nent of big mineral properties. The claim one ruling marks the passing Of the prospector and means that pros. :.ectors can only lay claim to prop critics where there are surface ind,. cations of ore in paying quantities, The wording of this ruling is as fol- lows:
 Mineral found in surface rock alone the same contains ore in paying quan titles. Discovery of mineral cannot be claimed simply because the surface indications, combined with geological inference, indicate that other and un- connected 1odes or veins lie at a great CT depth -.
 Other rulings of greater importance to holders of government mineral lands read as follows:
 The following elements are neces- sary to constitute valid discovery upon lode mining claim: -...,
 T. There must be a vein or lode of quartz or other rock in place. >,.
 g. The quartz or other rock in place must carry gold or some other mineral deposit.
 "3. The two proceeding elements when taken together, must be such as to warrant a prudent man in the ex- penditure of his time and money in the effort to develop valuable mine.
 hese are most important rulings said Receiver Arnold yesterday. Their effect is to preclude as far as possible the filing of mineral claims for speculative purposes by wildcat promoters.
 Strict enforcement of the regu.a ton concerning surface prospects,, i;. .d local mining engineer, means Na' l;.any good properties can neith sr be discovered nor mined. It means the passing of the prospector and the loss of his labors. l believe that the cannot be enforced, if fight is made in the courts.
 consider the ruling as absurd, for he reason that it is well known to all i mining men that it is not frequent | hat ore in paying quantities is found m the surface. Many of the great | hines of Arizona were discovered | through geological inference, In fact modern mining, to large extent is . based on geology and the differences We draw from it.
 am informed that the hope of tile ;ov ernm ent is that this ruling, strict y enforced, will eliminate the opera ions of the wildcat promoter. This s a inevitable motive, but the ruling s calculated to work great hardship ,n legitimate promoters and check ,ast industry Arizona Gazette.

THE GREAT COPPER PRODUCERS
 OUTPUT
Butte and Superior District Supply GA Per Cent of the Copper-Arizona Heads All Other States in
 Output.

The Butte district in Montana and the Lake Superior district-in Michigan continue to be prime factors in the cop per production of the UnitedStates, as shown in the report on copper for 1911 by B s. Butler, of the United States Geological Survey, just issued. These two districts produced in 1911 over 64 per cent of the total copper output Of the United States.
 A sriking feature of MT. Buffers rL- port is the marked decrease shown in the amount of copper recovered pe- ton of the ore during the last few years. In 1906 copper ores yielded an average of 2.5 per cent; in 1911 the average had decreased to 1.S2 per cent. Those who. have not followed the industry closely may be surprised to learn that over one-half of the cop. per ore produced in the United States yields an average of but 1 per cent in copper. In such ore copper is of course only 8 by-product.
 The following table is of interest as showing the output in pounds of the Iraeer copper districts in 1911. The production for this year was the lar gest in the history of the industry.

sAsY's WEIGHT.

Children vary greatly In weight at
birth. The average weight is seven
pounds, but often a newly born baby
proves to be nine or even ten pounds.
During the first week little or no
increase in weight occurs. There is
a loss during the first three days and
a gain for the next few days, so that
at the end of the week the child
weighs about the same as 1t did at
birth.

the weight decreases after the first
week a doctor should be called.

TRAGEDY OF SWITCHBOARD
Atlantic Oily Operator Telephones
Physician That Che Has Been
Stricken Blind.

Not until they heard a fellow
worker ask her family physician al
the telephone to come to her aid the
other day did several other young
women operators in the telephone ex-
change at Atlantic City learn that
she had been stricken blind when
seated alongside them. 'T've gone
blind, doctor; won't you come to
meP This is Miss Hiltner," one Of
the other operators heard her com.
panion say. The girl had been un.
able to see for several minutes, and
when she realized the extent Of her
affection plugged in" on the
switchboard in front Of which she
had been working and established q
connection with the home of the
family doctor. As she disconnected
the plugs after communicating With
the latter, the young woman stood
up and tried to walk across the
room. She fell fainting. Several
other operators ran to her assistance.
She was revived, but refused to be
taken to hospital and Insisted upon
returning to her home 80 she might
be there when the physician arrived.
