] w Bennie Arrives from Clifton
 And Tells of Progress There.

Douglas-J. W. Bennie, manager of the Shannon Copper company at Cliff ton arrived in the city yesterday at ternoon from the big Greenlee copper city. He was enroute to GleeSon where he has been working the Cop per Belle mine for six years, snip- ping the output to the Shannon smell ter at Clifton The shipment now amounts to much more than at any time in the past and requires num- Der of cars daily. The ore goes via CochiSe station to LordSburg.
 MT. Bennie stated that the Shah non company has been producing cop per month during the present year, material increase over the average monthly output for last year. n speaking of the price of copper he stated that the advance came some what unexpected, but that he believed the output was good for stability at about the present figure which means for the producers.
 Speaking of industrial progressive conditions at Clifton, MT. Bennie said that hardly ever had they been better. The Arizona Copper company is employing many additional men now on the construction of their new smelting plant; he thinks the change in location for the Smelter will in no way interfere with the present con- ditions in Clifton, as the new smelter will be reached by the employees by some railroad system. It will be no further from Clifton than the c. & A. is from Douglas.

INJURY TO MINING INDUSTRY.

Claim owners and mining men throughout Tintic are greatly incenS- ed over the decision of the authorities at Washington in regard to the patent ing of mining claims, and declare that the ruling is one of the most severe blows that has been delivered against the great mining industry in recent years. It is qute evident that these officials are trying rO follow a literal meaning of the mining laws with no intention or desire to temper their rulings with common sense. For years it has been the custom of claim owners to perform the required amount of assessment work each year and after the legal amount of improve ments had been installed upon the ground it was only necessary to de- monstrate to the satisfaction of the government authorities that the claims were mineral bearing and that the ap- plication for patent was not contested where upon the patent would be car ried along to successful conclusion ! The new ruling expressly states that in order to secure patent the exist 1 ence of valuable mineral deposits must be more clearly demonstrated: l in other words, the claim owner must | expose within the limits of his claim a vein or lode of mineral bearing rock possessing a present or prospective value for mining.
 The Tintic district embraces an area of perhaps ten square miles and now contains in the neighbourhood of 5000 patented claims but only in iso- lated spots does the mineral crop to the surface. Perhaps less than twen- I ty of these claims could have been : patented under the new interpretation of the mineral laws. Tintic has pro- duced approximately $5O,000,O0O dur ing the past forty years,- and while the ground is absolutely valueless for anything except mining, the enforce ment of the new ruling from the iE- terior department would make it inn possible for a claim owner to secure government patent. The first thing that the man with capital for invest ment in mining property demands is clear title and only by government patent can he be given this assurance. In most of the mines of this section, ore of a commercial grade was found only after the expenditure of large sums of money, and it is not reason able to suppose that mining com panies are going to spend thousands of dollars in development work and | then after opening ore, hundreds Of feet below the surface, take chance of having expensive litigation to prove title to their claims The day when the proSpector searched the hills for croppings of pay ore is past. He now locates his claims where geologi- cal conditions are favorable, and only by patent can he be sure that the re- suits of his labor can be secured 70 himself and associates.
 l In mining sections like t.4e Tintic l district, where the ground is of no value for agricultural purposes, where there is no timber or water, the best way out of the difficulty would be to nla.>c everything within a certain area subject to patent.
 The mining. men of the west will hardly be expected to stand for such radical legislation as that which s now being passed out to them Re porter, Eureka, Utah.
