Comparisons in Relation to Federal Mining Laws
(R. w. Raymond

Meanwhile in many districts, the
discovery Of metal bearing veins had
inaugurated the new industry or
quartz mining and the pioneers simply
applied to these deposits the rule al
ready adopted for gold bearing gulches
namely, they treated vein as II 1t
were gulch; granted mining claims
upon it, measured by a single dimen-
sion and included in each claim all
dips, spurs and angles, t. e.. all valu-
able mineral branching from the main
vein between the two ends OF the
claim.
The Situation Between 1886 and 1872.
The Act Of 1866 was an attempt to
legalize the conditions which had thus
grown up in the absence OF federal
legislation. 1t declared the public min
eral lands open to occupation and ex-
ploration, thus removing the guilt OF
trespass from prospectors and miners,
and permitting for an indefinite period
the exploitation Of such lands, under
the local regulations OF the mining
camps or Of the states or territories In
which they We're situated. This con-
frmed the prior right of the discover
er. which was the basis Of all such To-
cal regulations. Moreover, the act
adopted the Flaw Of the lariat' that
is, the measurement Of mining claims
l. al ir,n Ci
possessory title Of the locator to dips,
spurs and angles. Finally, 1t provid-
ed for the purchase Of permanent
rights by patent from the United
States, including certain rights with
in a given area of surface required for
mining Cperatit. as on the vein located.
This area was to be defined before the
grant of the patent.
But unfortunately the act OF 1865
did not grant to locator or patentee
any exclusive possession OF the sur
face thus located, but only an ease
ment or prior right of use. l believe
that this feature of the act, like the
rest of 1t. was simply intended to le-
galze existing mining conditions, es-
pecially at Virginia City, New, which
was in 1866 the most productive local
ity Of quartz mining in the west. The
towns of Virginia City and Gold Hill
were situated on and along the out
crop of what cer'e TO be known after

BACKACHE VANISHES
RHEUMATIC PAINS GO
Few Doses of Croxone Ease Stiff,
Sore, Swollen Joints and Mus
cles, Relieving Backache
and Bladder Disorders.

II you suffer with backache-have
pains in the neck or sides-nervous or
dizzy spells-a few doses of Croxone
will relieve the congestion and you
will be surprised how quickly all kid
ney, bladder and rheumatic troubles
will disappear.
Croxone promptly relieves these dis
eases because it really does reach the
real cause. 1t soaks right into the
walls and Innings of the kidneys, cleans
out the stopped-up inactive organs,
neutraliZes and dissolves the uric acid
and makes the kidneys sift from the
blood the waste and poisonous matter
that lodge in the joints and muscles
to scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism. 1t soothes and heals the deli
cate Innings of the bladder and gives
the kidneys renewed strength SO they
can filter the blood and keep you well.
Croxone is different from all other
remedies. 1t is so prepared that it is
practically impossible to take it with
out results. An original package of
Croxone costs but trife, and all
druggists are authorized to return the
purchase price If it should fail in
single case.-Adv.

Calumet the Secret of Economy

The high cost of living nowadays, and
the way prices are steadily climbing sky
wards, is making economy in the kitchen
even more important than 1t was in the
good old days of our thrifty ancestors
But how to achieve economy? There's
the rub!
In many lines. It depends almost en-
tirely on the housewives knowledge of
foods and on her watchfulness-but for
tunately, in one line, baking, economy
can be made almost automatic by the use
of the famous Calumet Baking Powder.
Economy in baking. as every good cook
knows, depends not so much on economy
in buying the materials on the success
of her bakings. Failures mean waste
bigger losses by far than the savings she
makes in buying. And the fact that Calu-
met absolutely prevents failures and
makes every baking successful has made
1t the favorite of every cook that seeks
to be economical In other words, Calu-
met is the secret of economy in baking.
1t Is the purest, too-attested by hum
dreds of leading physicians-and as for
its general quality, it is enough to say
that Calumet has received the highest
awards at two Worlds Pure Food EXPOSE

Russian soldiers conversing amicably
together as they approached us. A
short interrogation convinced Nikolai
that the truce was a genuine one
We hurried down and, by the aid of
a file which the soldiers gave us, had
soon freed the prisoners from their

that we had discovered the location
