WHERE TROUBLE IS

Far Too Important Functions
Assumed by the Bureaus

| The efforts Of The Tribune To have

| Of mining claim location and patent are
| attracting attention all over the country.
and tho technical journals have taken
| the matter up with the result That the
department az yet has not been sup

| the attitude Of the department has been
roundly condemned. The latest journal
to take up the struggle as a result OF
the East Tintic case, heretofore eXclu-

the statute does not specifically require
any formaIity in this particular when
the ground goes to patent. On the other
hand, the statute does require certif-
cate Of annual labor. which leaves the
Inference that the makers OF the law re-
fact. II is because OF adverse claims
that the courts have so frequently been
called upon TO decide as to the validity
Of discovery. the matter being usually
left 10 jury. Now that q certain theory
OF government has arisen TO protest
against the location OF claims upon tim
6ered land or ground suitable for pur-
poses other than mining, a form OF dis
pute has developed which involves tho
locator on the one hand and a depart

u dispute does not go directly to the
courts and a jury OF plain citizens. but Is
turned to another departmental function
arS for decision. Here We have the es-
sence OF bureaucracy. sitting in Judg-
inent upon the aspects of value which
mineral discovery possesses.
But in the East Tintltc case Il was
declared and not denied that the land
In question was not suitable for any
purpose save mining. while IL is well
known that the TIntic district of Utah
is a supremely important mineral area
Ihcre could be no occasion for de-
paftncntal functionary to defent the en-
Try Tor patent on the score of the real
conservation policy, unless to set up an
example for some other case in which a
rev trees are involved Many mining
men have held for long time that tho
alseowery clause OF the statute is unnec-

use for which certain government theo-
rlsts have found il available, IL NAV

Copper began the year at 1909 cents
