OBITUARY

In memory of Nern Francis Ripley,
beloved son of Mr.. and Mrs. C. A.
Ripley, born August 80, 1911, died May
%, 1912. The bereaved parents have
the sympathy of the whole commun-
ity.
When the earth was clothed in beauty,
And the flowers of May in bloom,
Our happy home was saddened
And all was left in gloom.
For our darling child has left us,
And gone to his home on high.
The angels of Heaven beckoned,
And We had to say goodbye.
His precious life with us was brief;
But each hour was filled with joy.
Now, our heads are bowed in grief,
For we miss our baby boy.
But, We'll raise u eyes to Heaven,
To that world so bright and fair.
For we know our cherished, loved one
Is safe and happy there.

RULING DISASTROUS
4 TO NINE INDUSTRY

Great anxiety is being mani
tested by mining men over the
recent ruling of the authorities at
Washington. in regard to the pat
enting of mining claims. says the
Goldfield Tribune. So pronounced
have the the new rulings been that
the conviction is we'll fixed that
the mining industry Of all the
western mining states is facing q
crisis, which demands immediate
attention before it pArGlyzes all
development. 2#H@z
Heretofore the swaer Of mining
claims who does honestly the re-
quird amount of annual assessment
work from year to year, who in
stalls the legal Improvements and
who demonstrates to. thu satisfac-
ton Of the government authorities
that his claims are mineral bear
ing, and whose application for
patent is not contested. has had
his application for patent carried
to a successful conclusion. The
new rulings, howe yer, which are
revolutionary in their import, ex-
pressly state that the old practice
is no longer available and that the
existence of valuable ore deposits
must be more cleary demonstrated.
The following language of a
recent ruling at Washington is
illustrative of this:
1t is evident that the deposits
alleged to have been exposed on
these claims are regarded by the
applicant as possessing practically
no economic value, but that, on
the other hand, title to the claims
is sought essentially on account of
their possible value for certain
unexposed deposits supposed to
exist at certain considerable depth
beneath the surface, and having
no connection, so Tar as shown,
with any deposits appearing on the
surface.
The. exposure. however, Of sub.
stantially worthless deposits on the
surface of claim; the finding of
mere surface indications of mineral
within its limits: the discovery of
valuable mineral deposits outside
the claim, or deductions frem
established geological facts relat-
ing to it; one or all Of which mat
tiers may reasonably give rise to q
hope or belief, however, strong it
may be. that a valuable mineral
deposit exists within the claim,
will neither suffice as discovery
thereon, nor be entitled to be ac-
copied as the equivalent thereof.
To constitute a valid discovery
upon claim for which patent is
sought there must be actually and
physicIly expose within the limits
thereof a vein or lode of mineral
bearing rock in place, possessing
in and Uf itself u present or pros
pective value for mining purposes;
and before patent can properly be
issued or entry allowed thereon,
that fact must be shown in the
manner above stated. ...
