More than 20 per cent of the main
line mileage of the Southern Pacific
is protected by block signals. Ap-
proximately 100 miles are protected
by the manual block system, the re-
mainler being under the protection
of the automatic system. Less than
three per cent OF the Southern Paci-
fic lines were equipped with block
signals in 1902. In 1903 this per-
centage had climbed to little more
than six percent. From that year
up to the present time these salty
devices have been steadily installed
until today these automatic blocks
extend over nearly three-quarters
of the entire systems main line.

MINE LOCATIONS
Against Tcwnslte Patents

IL onS III ." tutiuS VI Iic hluu eyer
made in Nevada, Judge Somers in
the District Court last week sus-
tanned the validity of a mining title
where a valid location has been
proved to be established as against "a
, Federal patented towasite title to
the same land ia rendering decision
in favor of the plaintiff in the action
Z. K. Blake against ]. H. Parks and
others in quiet title in two townsite
lots with improvements included in
the area of improvements known as
the Mill Race Fraction claim, which
forms part OF the town of Gol1feld.
Subsequent to it's location as
mining claim Blake was given town
site patent to ground covering this
claim by District Judge Stevens. The
lots were sold, and to quiet title suit
was begun. Judge Somers holds
that the Blake location was valid and
superior to the townsite patent.
The action was tried, said Judge
Somers, upon the issue made by the
plaintiff and the answer to defend
/ ant. Parks, claimed that the land in
question was and is not mining land
and that the plaintiff never made "a
valid mining location. 1t was further
alleged that discovery of valuable
ore had been made on the ground
and that townsite patent covered
the claim.
Blake located the claim in 1904 and
proved it mineral bearing and kept
up his annual assessment work.
The testimony, said Judge Somers,
goes TO show that a vein of ore was
discovered, in fact two veins, in one
of which shaft was sunk to depth
of 60 feet, and all the way down as
says were procured .tof assays rang
ing from 50 ~ tu SO per ton. The
WIN was IOu oibuSu duuuhliy llOil
year to year from 1904 to the COM
mencement of this action.
"The question is raised by counsel
for plaintiff that the townsite patent
was never regular. that advertise
ment under it were prematurely
made and other matters are claimed
as invalidating the townsite proceed
ings. do not think it necessary to
go into that feature of the case, be-
cause the law is so settled that min
ing locations are superior to townste
patents and it is not necessary to
discuss that feature.
" Some question was made by the
defendant that inasmuch as Blake
! sold some lots from his property, he
himself turned it into townsite.
That does not at all affect the rights
of Blake. The locator of valid min
ing claim may sell all of his surface
rights if he SO desires and still hold
his mining rights to the balance of
! the claim, or to all of the claim as
mining proposition. "-Goldteld Tri-
