ExTRALATERAL RIGHTS.
Montana Decision Adds Instructive
Discussion to Vexed Question.

Discussion to Vexed Question.
To the body of mining law the Mon
tana supreme court lately added an
instructive discussion of the history
of extralareral mining rights, at the
same time making clearer the rules
which are to determine conflicting
claims TO ore bodies in that state, The
opinion appears in the case of Ana
Pilot Butte Mining Company. 1856 Pa
eifc Reporter, 400.
After declaring that the effect of
Section 1922 of the United States Re-
vised Statutes is such that discovery
upon a vein of ore which cuts at least
one of the parallel end lines of claim
and has its apex within the surface
lines of the claim extended downward
vertically gives to the locator eXclu-
sive possession of the surface and of
all veins, lodes and lodges therein
throughout their entire depth, al
though such veins, lodes or lodges so
far depart from perpendicular in
their course downward as to extend
outside the vertical side lines of such
location. the court says:
THE common law would give to
each of these claims all ore bodies be-
meath its surface The right which a
locator has to follow his vein on its
dip beneath the surface of another
claim is purely of statutory origin
The statute is but the outgrowth of
mining rules and regulations in force
in California, Nevada and other west
ern territory before the congress en-
acted the first statute in 1866; and
these rules and regulations were
largely the result of the application
to existing conditions of the Spanish
ordinances in force in Mexico, with
possibly some ideas borrowed from
the customs of the High Peak of Der
byshre and the laws of Prussia.
The doctrine of extralateral rights
had its origin in the theory that it Is
the vein which is actually located and
that the surface is a mere incident,
necessary for the convenient develop
ment Of the mine"
After applying the provisions of
Section 1885 of the Revised Statutes,
to the effect that where two or more
veins unite, the oldest or prior loca-
ton shall take the vein below the
point of unison, including all the space
of the intersection, the court pro-
ceeds:
by some of the courts and text
writer's it is said that to entitle a
claimant to eXtralateral rights there
must be continuity of vein from the
apex to the ore in dispute; by others
that there must be identity of the
vein. 1t is of little moment here which
of these statements = Is correct but
that there must be continuity of right
In the locator who seeks to follow a
vein from the apex within his claim
to the ore beneath the surface of an.
other claim is in effect the holding o
this court, and it's correctness in GU
| judgment can not be gainsaid"

DIVING FOR GOLD.
Novel Method of Mining Deep Holes
of American River, California.

tSalt Lake Mining Review
Another story of treasure trove has
come from the golden west. Romance
has been woven around the quest for
gold in California during all the years
since the days of the early argonauts
And when the history of that great
state is summed up, and facts are
separated from fancy, it is found that
the reality has been stranger than the
fiction, and vastly more interesting.
The last story To come from there
has to do with the strange actions of
a man named Estey, and is further
verifioation of the ancient copy book
axiom about the will and the way. 1t
is also another illustration of the al
most endless ramifications of mining.
On the North Fork of the American
river, scarcely outside the environs of
the town of Colfax, a deep sea diver
may be seen at work almost any day.
He is clad in the regulation diving ar
NOR with air pump attached; and he
goes down into the deep holes of the
stream and spends his days moving
around on the river bottom
He does not do this for the editica-
ton of the casual onlooker; neither
is he crank on studies piscatorial,
nor the inventor of a new tangled
diving apparatus. He is simply an
up to the minute placer miner who
has hit upon this method of securing
the gold from the deepest holes of the
river bed. And he is reported to be
making good, and to be adding mater
tally to the worlds supply of the vel
low metal, as well as to his own bank
account.
He is assisted in the operations by
his wife, who attends to the manipu-
lation of the air pump. OF course, we
know nothing about his private af-
fairs; but we venture the assertion
that Colfax can boast that 1t contains
that great rarity: a man who never
quarrels with his better half.

MONEY FOR ROADS.
First lnstallment Certified by Secre-

tary of Treasury.
The secretary of agriculture, under
date of July 81, 1916, certified to the
secretary of the treasury and the
governors and state highway depart
ments of the several states the fol-
lowing apportionment of the $4,000,
600 of federal road funds available
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1917. This is the first installment of
federal moneys to be apportioned to
the states under the federal aid road
act approved July II, 1916. Before
making the division among the states,
the secretary in accordance with the
act, deducted 8 per cent, or $4,000,
needed for administering it's provi-
sions. This left $4,S50,OOO to be ap-
portioned among the states, one-third
in the ratio of area, third in the
ratio of population, and one-third in
the ratio of mileage of rural delivery
routes and star routes. The appor-
tionment on this basis gives the fol-
lowing amounts for the several states;

Notice is hereby given that at a

COPPER, LEAD, ZINC
INCREASED PRODUCTION
OF PRODUCTION
AND PRICES OF THE
METALS.

In 1913, before the war created alb
normal conditions, the worlds produc-
ton of copper, zinc and lead was re-
spectively, 1,O02,2S4 metric tons, 999,-
$50 metric tons, and 1,l42,264 metric
tons. In round numbers the produc-
ton of each of the three metals was
a million tons. In 1900, the total out
put of copper, zinc and lead was re-
spectively 491,435 metric tons, 47912S
metric tons, and S49,16S metric tons,
Thus, 16 years ago the production of
copper and zine was half what 1t is
now, while that of lead was only a
quarter less. From 1900 to 1913, the
average price of copper varied be-
tween II and 90 cents per pound, that
of zinc between and Z, and that of
lead between and cents. Obvious
ly, If the conditions of mining and
smelling these three metals were such
that they could be produced at the
same cost, and the amount of each
metal required by the world remained
as shown above, then the price OF
each would be the same. disregarding
the possible effect of monopolies and
selling agreements However, If the
price of these base metals became
equal, the demand would cease to be
equal, because copper would be pre-
ferred for purposes for which zinc and
lead are at present used and for which
copper is now too expensive. Copper
has more valuable properties than
either zinc or lead, being tougher,
more ductile, a better conductor of
electricity, and more attractive in ap-
pearance. Again, the higher value of
the metal enables the miner to eN-
plot deposits of copper that are much
lower in grade than the equivalent de-
posits of zinc or lead. The copper of
Michigan comes from ores that aver
age / per cent in copper; the produc-
ton of many of the other great cop
per mines of the world, including the
disseminated chacocite deposits of the
western states. the Braden and Gnu
quicamata in Chile, and the Rio Tinto
in Spain, Is derived from ores of about
2 per cent grade, varying from LIS to 3
per cent. Ores of zinc and lead, on the
other hand, are plentiful in much
higher ratios The Butte & Superior
mine in Montana, which is now con-
tributing Il per cent of the American
production of zinc is mining ore con-
tanning 16 per cent zinc. The mines
of Broken HILL in Australia, yield ore
containing IL per cent zinc and IA pei
cent lead, with about 10 ounces OF
silver per ton. The Consolidated In
terstate- Callahan mine in Idaho has
ore running from 20 to 80 per CEN
zinc. The Bunker Hill & Sullivan
| lead silver mines, also in the Coeul
d'Alene produced 1892 tons of leat
in 1915 from ore averaging s per cen
Head. 1t is true that in southeas
Missouri the companies mining dis
seminated ore successfully treat ma
terial of per cent lead, but condi
tions there are exceptionally favor
able to a low cost of exploitation.

ION another page will be found an
editorial entitled Enchanting Values,
which recently appeared in the Chica-

ing candor the creed of dollar diplo-
macy Exploiters are to go into un-
developed countries, buy up property
at a price which takes all risks and
uncertainties into consideration, and
then the government is asked to step
in and make the investment profit
able The farmers boys and the la
borer's boys are to furnish the blood
and the taxpayers are to furnish the
money and the exploiters are to reap
the profits. This is patriotism as the
Tribune interprets 1t, and this is why

GREAT MEXICAN SHAFT
CRUDE MINING METHODS
HOW ORE, MUCK AND WATER
WERE CARRIED UP NoTcHED
TlMsERs FOR 900 FEET.

Walter L. Church, writing in an ex-
change on the subject, THE Master
Mind Behind the Pick" says:
While there may be no thinking
class" any more than there is any
other really noble" class, there are
more or less thinkers in all classes
who gradually lead the people back
to the way of success from which they
had strayed. We boast of our splen-
did machinery for mining, hauling,
milling and smelling ore. Yet the
west is dotted with splendid mining
failures caused by lack of wisdom in
management.
Human Hosts.
On the contrary there are some
monumental successes under condi-
tions which seemed impossible, SIM
ply because of the brain behind the
pick The writer has in mind one not
able case in the state of Chihuahua,
Mexico, about 200 miles east of Quay
mas. 1t is the Santa Edovigas mine,
near the quaint old town of Jesus Ma
ria. In this property a great shaft
was sunk to the depth of 900 feet, be-
ing more than SO feet in circumfer-
ence, and in solid rock, taking in both
walls of the vein. 1t needs no timber
ing. 1t never had any sort of hosting

with rough places cut in them to keep
bare feet from slipping, like the
chicken ladders" set against a shed
so the fowls can climb up to roost on
the roof. These single pole ladders
ranged around the sides of the shaft,
ends resting on shelves cut out of the
rock Up those ladders, in rawhide
bags or buckets held by a strap around
the forehead of the miner and sup
ported on his bent back We're carried
all the contents of that immense eX-
cavation, including rock, ore and mill

what a continuous procession of hu

THE ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
An EDITORIAL APPRAISAL

President Wilson's speech Of
acceptance was comprehensive,
frank and direct.
1t was the utterance Of man
and q political party conscious Of
the honesty Of past endeavors and
confident of ability to cope with
whatever problems the future might
have in store.
No President has ever been
called upon to face more serious
conditions than has Mr.. Wilson. He
has met them with patience and de-
votion that have won the respect and
admiration of the world.
With domestic legislation to di-
rect, giving the relief from eco
nomic abuses that the country's well
fare demanded, with long list Of
promises to fulfill, the great war that
burst upon the world threatened to
check him in his efforts and to in
yolve the nation in the disasters that
are affecting almost every nation Of
the old world.
How he has brought the country
through it all, with honor and with
astounding prosperity, the accept
ance speech succinctly and modestly
tells.
In three and half years the coun-
try has been set Alright, every class
protected in its liberties and its OPP
portunities, the whole commercial
system set in order, with prosperity
abounding. And reason has never
abandoned its throne in all Of the
country's perplexities.
The speech was q message to the
people of all the world; it WIS
notice to the world that this country
is big enough to maintain its honor
and to keep out of war, and at the
same time big enough to regulate its
domestic conditions.
The speech was no apology, no
defense, no complaint. 1t was a
speech that all men and women
should read to learn what the
country has really been doing.

PARTY SUFFRAGE RECORDS
Only Democratic Congressman Appeal.
ed for Action.

Congressman G. G. Dill. of Wash
ington, cites the records of the com
mlttee hearings on suffrage in Con-
gress to prove that "the only Congress
men who have gone before the Judi
cinry Committee of Congress this year
to ask that suffrage amendment be
voted upon have been Democratic
members" He adds that mo others
have appeared to ask for considera-
tion Of the measure. That is, think,
sufficient answer to any claim that
the Democratic Party opposed Woman
Suffrage"
This record need only be supple
mented with the personal voting his
tory of the rival Presidential candi-
dates to show who Is the real friend
OF suffrage. President Wilson made
two trips from Washington to New
Jersey TO register and vote for Woman
Suffrage when II was submitted In his
State. Candidate Hughes did not take
the trouble to register or to vote the
same yenr-1915-when the suffrage
amendment was submitted in his
