APEX LAW SOURCE l. 0F LITIGATION
Director of the Geological Survey Recommends Change
 in Law

The law of the apex has proved more productive of expensive liti- gation than of economical min- ing. In many of the more recent ly established and more progress sive mining districts this statute has been made imperative either by common agreement or by com promise between adjoining OWL CTS. It's repeal could not affect established equities under patents already granted, but would render possible more certain property rights in large mining districts, not as yet discovered, where new and valuable claims will be To- calrd a hundred years from now The unit of disposition should he the claim, preferably square, limited on it's four sides by vcrti- cal planes, and of a size sufficient to allow the miner occupying two contiguous claims tO follow the vein or lode tO considerable depth, even if it's dip is only I5 degrees Such definition of a mining claim is found practical in both Mexico and British Columbia, and in the latter country the change from he apex law was effected without trouble OF confusion.
 The same knowledge of natural conditions that leads to the sug- grstion of a repeal of the law of In" apex forces the further sug- gcstion that discovery of ore in place can not be made universal ly a prerequisite to the location of a mining claim. Geologic study iOf orc deposits has furnished cX- lamplcS in a number of regions where the present law cannot be complied with, although rich de- poSitS exist underground and their extent can be more definite
 ly surmised than in most places where ore is discovered at tho surface To meet such actua
 conditions the law should pro vide for the acquisition of metal lifcr0us mineral land classified as such upon the basis of adequate geologic evidence, whether actua outcroppjngs are present or not

WOULD ABOLISH
 CUTTER SERVICE
Government Sees Way to Save Money by Adapting Busi-
 ness Method

| If a recommendation made by
 President Taft is a special mes
 sage recently sent to Congress is
 adopted the revenue cutter ser vice as at present maintained would be abolished. The recom-
 mendatiOn to abolish the cutter service was in connection with
 the message urging economy. If adopted it will apply to Alaska, a.i
 well as to other ports of America. The president is evidently of the lopiniOn that the services can be secured through the use of pri- vatc crafts and a considerable saving effected.
 Enabled to investigate public business by an appropriation of $iO0,000 made June 25, 1910, the president appointed a commission on economy and efficiency, and as a result of their work the mes sage was submitted. The com
 mission, the president says, has entered upon the preparation of three separate tabulatiOns. The first deals with the manner in which the services of the govern mcnt should bc grouped into de- pal tmcntS; the second and third series of reports deal with the activities of particular services and the form of organization for the particular business opera tionS.
 Among the recommendation jof the commission is one that the
 revenue cutter service, which costs the government S2,5O0,O00
 each year, be abolished and it's work performed by other services.
 The commission estimates that
 this would save $i ,0OO,O0O annu-
 ally
 ! The commission also urges that
 the lighthouse and lifcsaving ser
 vices be administered by a single
 bureau instead of, as at present,
 by two bureaus, located in differ jcnt departments. This would save
 $l00, ,000 annually.
 : Another abolition rccOmmrnd-
 cd is that of the returns office of
 the department of the interior.
 It was also pointed out that
 whereas the annual lransporta-
 tion cost to the government is
 about 2,000,000, the country
 gels no consideration from the
 public carriers. The president 1 advocates more busincSs-liko
 methods in arranging for and paying for these servicc". In closing his message, which
 deals with multitude of govern
 mental business matters, the president declares that the cost of the efficiency commissions
 services during the fiscal year is at the rate of Si3O,OOO. He asks that congress- appropriation for
 the work be incI eased to S2OO,- 900 and that an additional S5O,-
 phr should be )vided for th..
 publication of the results of the commissions work.
