Nevada's new mining law, which
went into effect Thursday, provides
as follows:
Section 1. 1t shall be unlawful for
any person, firm or corporation to
employ in any underground mine in
the State of Nevada, or in the hand
ling of explosives either in under

son or persons who cannot clearly
speak and readily understand the
English language, or who cannot
readily read and understand any sign,

printed in the English language in
regard to rules of safety in said I'M
derground mine, or in the handling

Section 2. Any person, firm or

visions of this act shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction thereof shall be punished
by a fine of not less than one hundred
dollars ($100), nor more than five

panies in the State affected by it are
lining up their forces in accordance
with its provisions.

NEW MINE PATENT RULES
A Reform in Procedure is Being
Proposed at Washington To
Help Miners

A reform in land procedure that
will affect hundreds, if mot thousands,
of cases in the West was promised at
a conference held in Washington last
week between Assistant Secretary
Jones of the Interior Department and
Representative Raker of California.
The department soon will issue
regulations to provide that hereafter
certificates will be issued by Land
Office Registers and Receivers at the
time claimants for mining lands make
their final proof instead of holding
up certificates until after investiga-
ton by the Government.
This would mean a great saving of
present delay to which mining claim
ants are subjected.
Such a procedure for which land
office experts have been working for
some time, will probably result in a
saving of thousands of dollars to Ne
vada alone, not to mention the many
other States affected.
Under the present rules" said
Geo. E. Hair, chief of the field ser
vice of the Salt Lake City Land Of
flee, "a mar may come in to-day and
ask for a certificate and get nothing
for three months, six months Or
more, until | have time to send a
man into the field to thoroughly in
vestigate the case.
Meanwhile, if no certificate is is
sued by December 81, the applicant
has to do his years. assessment work.
That means money out of his pocket.
Under the proposed regulations
the applicants can get a certificate
of patentry, final patent can be with
held by the commissioner of the gen
eral land office until the matter is
threshed out. Thus no hardship is
worked on any one.
81 have a hundred cases under in
vestigation that | a turn to right
now and the applicants involved will
not have to spend money for assess
ments if the new rule goes into
effect"

The financial district was distinctly
encouraged today by the prospect OF

established order of things, and all
preparations TO meet the new stua-
ton were perfected. including the re-
employment OF many clerks and mes
sengers who had been without work
during the long period OF idleness.
That the reopenlng will be attended
by revival Of public interest has been
seen In the many queries and mes
sages received during the last fow days
by brokers from all sections OF the
country.

The principal reason for the omissions
Of these stocks is that they are held

Although assurances have been re-

that no danger of heavy selling of

That the condition of the interna-
