DECISION OF COURTS
ON MINING INDUSTRY
SURRENDER OF MINING LEASE
POINT ON QUESTION OF EN-.
lNENT DOMAIN.

Although it is the general rule that
the forfeiture of mining claim for
non performance of assessment work
must be specially pleaded, just as any
other forfeiture must be pleaded, a
sufficient proof and finding of the
facts constituting a forfeiture will cure
the defective pleading. The opinion of
a laborer as to the value of the work
is proper evidence, even though he be
not qualified as an expert, Cache
Greek Mining Co. v Brahenberg (Alas-
ka), 217 Federal, 240. October IS, 1914,
Mining Lease-lnvaid Surrender.
An implied surrender of a mining
lease does not arise. from mere notice
of the lessee's intention to give up the
lease, and pay no further rentals and
his failure to make such payments.
There must be an actual surrender Of
the lease by one having authority so
to do If the lessee is a corporation it
must be authorized by corporate ac-
Ition. The president of the corpora
ton has no inherent power to surren-
der Right of lessor to recover rentals

While the report shows that the to-

has increased $5SS5S3, there have
been reductions in nine of the numef~

FOREST SERVICE HOLDS
AGRICULTURAL LAND
RESIST EFFORTS TO THROW 1T
OPEN TO ALL BONA FlDE
SETTLERS.

The forest service is quietly but
stubbornly resisting all efforts to
bring about the elimination of agricui-
tural lands from forest reserves, not
outstanding public declarations OF It's
officials that it believes in the elimln-
alton of lands not chiefly valuable TOT
forestry. Senator Borah of Idaho TOOK
occasion in the senate recently TO crit
icise the forest service for retaining IN
it's reserves vast areas of LANDS that
are suitable only for agriculture
lands that contain no timber. other
senator's have made the same criticism
and always the forest service explains
that agricultural lands are being elm
mated as they are being classilieu'
But the process is slow one.
At the recent annual meeting Oh 'he
forestry association in New YORK city
Henry S. Graves, according 10 pun
lshed reports, voiced the inward sentl-
ments of the forest service When lit
declared that the effort to break GOWN
the federal control of, the national lor-
ests by the "whittling down process
was institgated by those interested III
getting these public lands into prlVa''
hands He charged that TINS move
ment is backed by those oppo8eo u
the forest service and the forestry ool-
icy.
Same Old Policy.
1t was clearly apparent that MI
Graves allusion to the whiting
down" process had reference 10 inc oh'
forts of western senators and repre-
sentatives to have the area OF the loi
est reserves reduced through the eiln'
nation of agricultural lands INV
forest service is opposed to these elm
nations and has been from the DC
ginning. Mr. Pinchot, as FORESTER
fought against these eliminatlons' an
his successor has been OF the sam
frame Of mind The forest serNi'
contends now, as always, that II Is ho
necessary to eliminate agrlcultui'
lands from the reserves In oruel
make them available for homesle"
entry; that such lands can be nome
steaded at any time under a spec'S
act Of congress providing for nome
steads within the national forests. no

tor Borah, Is practic"l'v dead le'

determine after year or two whether
an entryman is making a success of
his farm or not. The homesteader IS
allowed cnndtionally to locate within
the forest reserve but he is not allow
! ed to acquire any definite interest in
the land he seeks to enter until after
the forest service has concluded thai
ne Is making a successful venture of
his farming operations
Senator Borah cited one instance
where homesteader in one of the Ida
no reserves met all the requirements
Of the homestead law for two full
years; cleared and cultivated his land
and got good crops. and at the end Of
| his second season the forest service
arbitrarily ruled that he was not max
ing a success of his farm and nusted
him; that is, denied him the right to
make his homestead under the law
that permits the demonstrating of ag-
ricultural lands within the reserves
And there are hundreds of similar
cases that have been called to the at
tention Of western senators and con %
gressmen. Another favorito practice
of the forest service is to eject the
prospective homesteadcr on the con-
tention that the land he seeks to enter
is needed for ranger station" pur
poses. So that the law permitting
lhomesteads in forest reserves is prac~
tically dead letter.
Intensely Jealous.
Only recently the forest service gave
another indication of it's objection to
the whiting down process. The
superintendent of the Crater LAX
National park in southern Oregon re
commended that comparatively
small area of land adjoining the park
containing spots Of scenic beauty anC
interest could be added to the nationa
park. The secretary of the interior
/ strongly endorsed this recommerda
ton but the forest service entered q
strong protest. The lands sought tt
be added to the park are now in a for
! est reserve. They are rough lands, in
accessible unless made so by the ex-
tension of park roads and they serve
no particular good as they lie idle, be-
yond the reach of visitors.
It Needs the Money.
The forest service objected to the
transfer of these lands from its juris-
diction to the park superintendent on
general principles. In the park the
lands would be quite as we'll protected
as they are in the reserve; in time
they would have infinitely better adj
ministration; the cutting of timber in
the park would be guarded quite as
IZealously as in the forest reserve and
no injury would be done the forest by
| the change. But the forest service
objects to any diminution in the area
of land under its jurisdiction; it OBJ
jects to any step that will curtail tn
beaurocratic authority held here in
Washington and is resisting every
move made to bring about the proper
elimination from forest reserves o
lands not properly reserved. Every
elimination made has been made after
fight. The forest service fears thai
too much elimination may result ir
curtailing appropriations and tha
would mean curtailing the pay roll
Hence the objection that is raised
