In communication To Joseph +

Harry s. Joseph has set forth som
timely ideas IN regard to the interior de
partment's recent ruling on the minin

II is plain TO me that the depart

rulings bearing upon the disposition
OF mineral lands. is acting contrary
to the spirit and purport OF the law

which the generally established Gus
tom and procedure OF lscating mining
claims for the past forty years has
been based. Naturally the depart
ment disclains any intention of de-
stroyins the intent OF the statute,
but the effect is such. AS a direct
result OF the rulings now In force in
the department, all the well-estab
ltshed procedure OF securing patent
10 mining claims has been upset and
conditions have been so revolution,
lied as 70 thoroughly complicate the
entire mining industry. II is high
tirne That something be done to ease
the situation. else this industry and
the r1ghtful development OF our min
eral lands will suffer 10 an untold

conciuslVely that the department is

on Wednesday.

PROVO. July 10.-This was dividend
day here. and 1t was observed in u
highly gratifying manner. The Iron
Blossom company directors declared the
usual ten cents per share. or 500, 900,
payable Of July rs, TO stockholders OF
record on July IS. This will leave ap-
proMmately 100000 in the Iron Bios
som strong box, and the payment will
bring the total dividends Of this COM
pany to $1,2T0. 900.
Without previous inumation Of their
action. the directors Of tho Gold Chain
company declared tho first quarterly
amount being two cents a share. This
dividend Is payable on July rs. the books
closing ON July 20. The payment of this
dividend will leave $4,000 IN the treas
ury, and ore shipments are being made
at the rate OF 100 tons daily. The Gold
Chain, therefore. is In first class shape
TO maintain this dividend, with the
chances very favorable for an increase
each quarter as earnings are raised as
they should be from now on.

Now let us quote from the statute
OF 1872 Itself. Herein I find that
"all valuable mineral deposits are
free and open 10 exploration and pur-
chase" (pleeso note that it does not
say valuable deposits OF minerals) !:
also I find that this statute says
nothing further as TO the value OF
the ore to be discovered. but only
provides that "no location shall be
made until the discovery OF the vein
or lode within the limits or the claim
located" Furthermore. l find that
the department itself does not define
the term vein or lode as ore posses
