LOyFLOCK JOUR.
NAILS CONSOLIDATE

The last issue of the Lovelock Re-

notice, signed by John S. Case, editor
of the Tribune, and the Loveloek Pub
fishing company
Believing that the best interests
of Loveloek, Seven Troughs and all of
the surrounding country could best be
subserved by the consolidation of the
Review Miner and the BoveIock Trib-
une, negotiations were concluded on
February lst whereby the Lovelock
Publishing company, publishers of the
Review Miner, acquired the ownership
of the Lovelock Tribune.
"The publication of both papers
will be united in the Review Miner,
which will continue to be issued on
Fridays as before. All contracts, eth
er for advertising, job work or sub
scriptions, will be carried out by the
Review Miner.
"On behalf of both papers we de-
sire to thank those who have made
their publication possible in the past
and to solicit the earnest cooperation
of the public in an united boost for a
greater and a better Lovelock.'
Under the terms of the consolida-
ton, Mr.. Case will become editor of
the Review Miner, which will continue
to be published by the Lovelock Pub
fishing company.

PRESENT MINING LAWS
ARE ANTIQUATED

Proposed amendments of the we'll
established laws relating to metallifer-
Gus minerals always raise the warmest
discussion. With the opinion of min
ing men in general favoring revision
of mining laws of the United States
and with commission after commission
appointed by various bodies to sug-
gest improvements, the statutes have
remained practically unchanged for
nearly 40 years, while the geology of
ore deposits and the technology of
metal mining have made marvellous
progress.
Most important, perhaps, in any
amended mining law would be provis-
ion for enforced development, prin-
ciple expressed, it is true, in the pres
ent law but not made effective in its
workings requirement of actual
use as condition of occupancy of
mineral land cannot be regarded as
either novel or radical AS regards
the large acreage of undeveloped land
in many mining camps to which patent
has already been issued, it is perhaps
true that the situation is without re-
lief, unless the western Australia plan
is adopted, whereby the government
steps in and permits mining under a
lease, the proceeds of which are as
sessed, collected and paid over to the
owner. The principle invoked seems
to be that no property owner can
rightfully oppose the development of
the resources of the state.
In the ease of unpatented claims a
remedy should be sought for what has
been termed "'the paralysis of mining
districts,' and the rigid requirement
Of annual assessment work should be
made actual and effective by inspec-
tion and supervision, in order to put
an end to the present procedure OF al,
lowing a claim to lie idle for practi-
cally two years after its location, not
to mention the many localities where
claims are held year after year with
only perfunctory compliance, or even
without any performance of assess
ment work--a type of local disregard
for law that is in striking contrast to
the observation accorded to the dis
trict customs and regulations of earlier
days, whereby the right of possession
was made absolutely dependent upon
continuous operation.-From Report of
Director, United States Geological
SURVEY.

Loux was brought down from the hos

It is now stated that the jury will

fact that nothing could be gained by
so doing, as there is no trial jury IN

probably not be tried before March.
