Mining Laws Annotated

The United States bureau of mines has just issued Bull
1etin o., United States Mining Statutes Annotated, IN
two volumes, which is now being sold by the superintend-
ent of documents, government printing office, Washing
ton, d. c. This bulletin IS a compilation OF all sections
of me United States revised statutes and of all acts of
congress relating to mines, mining, mineral lands and the
mining industry on the public lands. 1t is intended for
persons engaged in mining enterprises that come within
the scope of federal mining laws and as a guide as to the
determination Of mining rights and duties. 1t shows the
status of every federal mining law, both laws relating to
metal and those relating to coal, oil and phosphate and to
mining on public, Indian and railroad lands.
The bulletin relates only to the United States mining
laws and does not include any of the laws of the differ
ent states in regard to mining. Another bulletin which
the bureau of mines hopes to print IN the future Will con
tain the state laws.
In addition to the Revised Statutes and the acts relat-
ing to metal, coal, and oil and gas, acts relating to the fol
lowing subjects, as they bear upon the mining industry,
pine Islands, pipe lands, railroad grants, rights of way,
salnes and salt springs, settlers relief acts, state and pub
lie grants, stone lands, timber cutting Tor mining pur-
poses. town sites, tunnel acts and Withdrawals.
All sections and acts are annotated. These consist
OF abstracts of decisions Of all courts and public officers
wherein any Of these sections or statutes are explained.
construed and applied. The annotations are arranged
under each section or statute with appropriate title lines
in definite order, and consist of plain propositions of law,
and point out how the courts have cured many defects,
made clear the uncertainties and aided IN the practical
application OF these statutes. The large number and wide
range of these decisions show that the practical value OF
the mining laws depends on their present status as estab-
lished by the courts. The person interested is thus aided
in determining the course to pursue IN applying any given
act to his mining enterprise.
The preparation OF these annotations involved an eN-
animation of more than 1000 volumes of reports of vari-
Gus courts and public officers. The work is indexed and
anv desired subject may be readily found.

The Search For Nitrate

Two boys at play in a cave were the means of dis
covering deposits of nitrate near HOmedale, ldahoy In
whose ranch lies in the canyon of Sucker Creek, were
playing in a small cave at the base OF a cliff in the canyon
about a half mile below their home. Having started a
fire in the cave, they were surprised to find that some Of
the white material at the back of the cave and in the
crevices Of the rock took fire and burned vigorously.
About the same time d. ] Sullivan of Homedale, recog-
1nezd some nitrate deposits in the canyon of Jump Creek.
Only a small quantity of the material was found, but a
strip OF brown paper dipped in a solution OF the substance
and then dried and burned indicated by its suffering the
presence of a nitrate.
In the fall of 1911 an examination of the Homedale
deposits was made by G. r. Mansfield of the United States
geological survey, whose report has just been published by
the survey as Bulletin O2O-B.
The Homedae nitrate deposit is located in and near
the canyon of Sucker Creek, Oregon, about I6 miles in a
direct line southwest of Homedale, Idaho. While it may
be possible to discover an increase in the size and number
OF nitrate bearing veinlets, or perhaps even large veins,
when the rock is opened farther there seems little likeli-
hood OF any marked increase in richness within the inter
Tor OF the rock mass. On the contrary, it appears more
probable that the richest parts of the deposits ara these
already exposed in the faces and along the bases or the
Gifts and thai the material will be found to grew grad
ually leaner and perhaps to disappear altogether as the
reel; Is penetrated.
The veinlcts in the Homedale deposit which contain
the inter and associated salts form a very small percent
age of the rock mass. If it were practicable to leach the
rock and remove the soluble salts without handlino the
rock itself, something might be done commercially with
the inter. From the constitution of the country rock,
however, it seems that little could be done without NOV
ing a relatively large amount of the rock, the cost of which
would discourage commercial development.
The Homedale deposits are similar to other deposits
IN sections all the way from Oregon to Texas that have
been examined by the geological survey. The inter occurs
on the surface and in cracks, forming in places rich veins
IN considerable quantity, but at no place yet examined has
TINS superficial material seemed to lead to deposits extern
sve enough to have commercial value. Future investi-
cations may, however, disclose a commercially valuable
deposit, although the outlook at present is not very prom
Using.

1t does a community good to receive a visit from a
man like Mr.. M. B. Cutter, president of the Tonopah &
GOldfield railroad, and having large mining interests in
this state. Fresh from the east he tells us that the west
has no reason to worry; that times are probably better
here than elsewhere and the future holds much in store.
Mr.. Cutter is thrice welcome to Goldfield.

Reasons For Revival

The present mining revival in the west is not a tran
sient boom, but a business-like exploitation of the metal
deposits that enrich the land. This activity shows every
indication that it will increase rather than diminish in the
years to come. Various factors contributed to bring about
he larger movement in mining; and among these may be
mentioned the Unsuitable demand by Europe for more gold.
/ he dearth of the yellow metal abroad naturally has d-
rected greater attention to gold mining and stimulated the
search for that metal, says the Denver Mining Record.
The higher prices for copper, lead and zinc, OCCASION
ed by war needs, have promoted the mining of these pro-
ducts of the earth to a degree unprecedented in the history
of the world.
Generally favorable production conditions have been
notably bettered by improved metallurgy, more especially
IN the use of cyanide and methods of concentra-
ton, separation and flotation. Such scientific improve
ments have made possible the mining of low grade ores
that formerly could not be handled at a profit. AS a re-
2ut many abandoned mines that could not be worked
prof1tably under the old treatment methods have been re-
opened and are making money for the owners.
The western mining field offers many attractive op-
Port1rities for the investment of capital. There are num-
crous mer1torous mining properties in proved districts
t'at are now lying dormant because the owners lack
money tor development and equipment purposes. These
properties can be leased on reasonable terms. with oDtion
20 purchase at prices that are decidedly moderate. It
behooves investors to take advantage of such chances TO
add Importantly to their bank rolls.

Philadelphia Ledger: Whatever the final outcome
OF the struggle in Europe, the Germans will have regis
tered one triumph which no decision of battle can take
away. 1t is the triumph of efficiency, of organization. of
machinery; a victory of the skill, energy and foresight
which enabled and inspired them to achieve their newest
mechanical feat-the establishing of a through express
train service from Lille, on the battle line in northern
France, to Warsaw, nearly a thousand miles away, on the
eastern line, in eleven days after the fall of the Polish
capital The Lille Warsaw EXpress!' The train crier's
call might we'll serve as a modern German battle cry, for
1t symbolzes the German trait which whirled warriors
from the western front to capture Galicia and Poland for
Won Mackensen and Won Hindenburg, which has con
served German resources so that almost total isolation has
not as yet visibly affected fighting ability, and which has
directed all the vital impulses of the nation directly to the
grim business in hand.

Mothers who are i'll or worn out with

effort is made to teach mothers the

Mothers, especially, who go out to
work by the day should try to send

Because Elbridgc Gerry Snow, jr., r.
fuses to pay $4,000 a year instead of
$4,000 10 his former wife for the sup
port of his two children, the latter
must forego their summer outing and
remain in the hot city. Yesterday
counsel for their mother, now Mrs.
Fannie L. De Bost, asked Justice Phil
bin to sequester Shows property to
guarantee payment of the $4,000. The
Increase was recommended by Jacob
A. Cantor, as referee, and was con-
firmed by Justice Gotf. Snow has ap-
pealed to the Appellate Division.
Mrs. De Bos, remarked after her
divorce from Snow. She and her sec
ond husband are now separated. The
children are Miss Dorothy Violet Snow
and Elbridge Gerry Snow, Sd. Counn-
sci for Mrs. De Bost drew pathetic
picture of these two children compelled

her notion of how women are going TO
get their suffrage. It's whole work
ing scheme of campaign.
She doesn't believe that equal suf-
frage is going to help democracy par
ticularly. That she thinks is a process
where one trades one king for forty
bosses.
But she does think it will help the
personal democracy of women. Just as
men Of any class and caste fling their
efforts together for a common obJec-
tive when something Is wanted or need
ed by the community, so will women
when they work through ballots.
Never till now" she says, "have
women ever done that, worked side by
side with each other.
"Do you recall how in New Orleans
a few years ago there was bond is
sue in The city for some sort of hy-
gienic measure up. and women were
to vote on it? Men said that the So
called bad women would defeat the
issue, and there was great fuss
made. What happened. of course, was
that the nice ladies' went forth and
got the bad ones, and all together they
went to the polls and pushed the hy-
giene measure through" Cora Harris

The baby is weighed at each visit
