DISCOVERY Of MANY RARE

New mineral. are constantly being discovered. Their determination Is usually made by the peoshemist---the chemist who works along geologic iines--or the minersloeist. The prop ertie. of minerals already known are likewise being redetermined, with the result that some of the published descriptions which have remained up. challenged for many years are under going constant change. Most of these minerals as discovered or determined are of only scientific interest snd no relation is seen between their oen"r. renee in nature and their probable valae to the industne. of the world. However, no one can say when the minerulogie curiosity may not prove to bs n revolutionary factor 10 some industry.

IDLE MINING PROPERTY


 The remedy for the existing evil of idle mining property must be sought either in the adoption of leasehold, under which the government can en. force operation. a system which fully sttains the desired end of promoting mining development in Australian and New Zealand, according to the report made in 1907 by 0eologis A. (. vcatch, of the Geological Survey, to the President, or in the thorough re. vision of the existing system. Rsdi. cal amendment to the present law would be necessary is order to secure somthing more nearly approaching equality of opportunity. Some lint. tstion should be put on the number of claims which an individual esa locate in each mining district. and the prevention of monopclisation would be furthercd by the rigid en. foreement of assessment development. The record of claims kept by e local official elected by the miners should be reported to the nearest land office in order to furnish the Federal gov. ernment with a notice of the intsn. ton of the claimant, and thus to In. itiste the operation Of effective in- speetion. the purpose of which would he 10 enforce the use of development of mineral land as contemplated in the law.
