DEMAND FOR AMENDMENT
OF MINING LAWS GROWING
Regulations Said to Be Destructive Of
Progress and Calculated to Re.

! That the laws of this country. gov
erning the location and tenure of min
eral bearing ground, are in need Of
radical changes in many respects is
the contention of most mining men.
Persons who have no interest at stake
maintain that the apex law has long
outlived it's usefulness, If it ever pos
sessed any and declare that our laws
are destructive Of progress, are calcu-
lated to retard mining development
and should be remodeled to conform
more nearly with those of other coun-
tries. In no other country does the
apex law prevail and in no other coun-
try is there mining litigation APP
preaching even remotely in volume

the United States. This has been well
exemplitied in Alaska, where litigation
over mine titles and apex rights are
practically unknown on the British

INSPECTOR WALLIS
AGAIN AFTER PURE
FOOD LAW v|OATORS
SENDS OUT REMINDERS TO THE
DEALERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE
IN MEATS.
Defines Statute as Interpreted, and
Tells Merchants Possession Of Any
Forbidden Food viii Be Prima Facie
Evidence That II Is for Sale.

James II. Wallis, state dairy foot
and sanitary inspector. Is again call
ing the attention of dealers in food
stuffs to the law passed by the last
legislature and over the enforcement
year ago. 1t is openly stated that the
law Is little needed except when there
is a possibility of visit from the
commissioner or some one connected
with his office.
The greatest controversy arose over
the selling of fowls, dealers contend
ing that turkeys, chickens. ducks anf
geese kept better after being killed
and were safer to eat II they were not
drawn It was contended that the ex-
perts of the department Of agriculture
held and promulgated this view. New
ertheess, the law was enforced and
violators were prosecuted with vigor
Inspector Wallis again gives warn
ing to dealers in circular letter. from
which the following is taken:
The sale of undrawn poultry q. e.,
poultry containing the entrails or in
testines) is forbidden under the fooe
Ia WS Of Ida bo which nrohihjt tho 90 Ia
Of ANY part of an animal unfit for
food" The following sections az the
law cover the same, as construed by
this department:
An article of food shall be deemed
t. be adulterated If Il consists in Who'll,
or In part of a diseased. filthy. decom
posed. infected, tainted, putrid or rot
ten animal or vegetable substance or
substances; az any part or portion o.
an animal diseased or otherwise unfit
for food"
1T shall be unlawful for any person
or persons. corporation or corporation
to sell or offer for sale the meat OF any
cattle, sheep. swine. fish, game. fowl
or poultry which Is blown tainted
heated. soured, raised. stuffed. putrd
or impure, or which. for other reasons,
is unfit for human food"
The possession of any food. the sale
of which Is forbidden by law. is prima-
facie evidence that it is for sale.

Why the government should sur

the acquisition Of mineral land more
difficult, more costly and more unsafe
than the acquisition of agricultural
land, Is a problem that Is difficult Of
solution. The locator of mineral land

expend a considerable sum Of money
must accept the chance of his prop
erty being of little or no value and
must pay high tribute to the state and

not become worthless within Il short
time through the exhaustion of it's

agricultural land. however poor in
quality, must be more valuable than
any mining land. however rich and

the ore testing work of the bureau o.

current year, it took an important stay
for the mining industry in that it es-

mining region. but it is only a begin
