Rights of Prospectors are
 Discussed by SupremeC Court

by the defendant for new trial were overruled. The Circuit Court of Ap- peals reversed the judgments and or dered new trial.
 The cases were brought to the Uni ted States Supreme Court because the construction and application of some of the mineral landlaws was deemed of general interest in the regions where these laws are operative.
 Discussing the general mineral land laws, Justice Van DeVanter, who rem dered the opinion of the Supreme Court, says that in advance of dis covery an explorer in actual occupa- tion and diligently searching for min- eral is treated as licensee or tenant at will, and no right can be initiated or acquired through a forcible, fraud ulept or clandestine intrusion upon his possession. But if his occupancy be relaxed or be merely incidental to something other than diligent search for mineral and another enters peace ably and not fraudulently or clandes- timely and makes mineral discovery and location, the location so made is valid and must be respected according ly. A location based upon discovery gives an exclusive right of possession is property in the fullest extent, is subject to sale and other forms of dis posal, and so long as it is kept alive by performance of the required annual assessment work, prevents any ad' verse location of the land.
 While the two kinds of location lode and placer-differ in some re. spects, the Justice says a discovery within the limits of the claim is equally essential to both. But to sus- tain lode location the discovery must

UNITED STATES MAY ... .
 CANCEL MINING CLAIM

The right of the government to can eel mining locations when in its opinion the land is not sufficiently mineral in character to- justify the cont inuing of development work has been sustained by the United States supreme court, according to advices received by Thomas A. Flynn, United States attorney.
 The decisions in the highest court, which sustained decision by Judge Sawtelle in the United States district court for Arizona, upheld the granting of an injunction against Ralph H. Cameron and others in the use and occupancy of the Cape Horn mining claim at the head of Bright Angel trail at the Grand Canyon The suit was instituted August IS, 1915.

In deciding suits relating to conflict ing mining locations in Nevada the United States Supreme Court makes pertinent comments on the rights of prospectors and locators under the mineral land laws.
 The case decided was that of George A. Cole, Ed. Malley, Gilbert c. Ross, J. J. Healey, GuyF Davis, George R. Thatcher and Wm. Forman vs. Joseph Ralph, the former representing placer claims and Ralph lode claims. The lode claims were designated as Salt Lake No. 3, Midas and Evening Star, and the placer claims as the Guy Davis and Homestake. Ralph applied at the land office for patent for the three lode claims, along with 13 oth- CTS, and in due time two adverse claims were filed, one based upon the Davis claim and covering most of the ground within the Salt Lake No. 3, and the other based upon the Home stake and covering a considerable DOT tion of the ground within the Midas and Evening Star claims. Suits were brought in the State court in support of the adverse claims and Ralph, the sole defendant, had them removed to the Federal court, the parties being citizens of different States. After wards some of the original plaintiffs were eliminated and others brought in, but the citizenship remained diverse as before.
 The cases were tried together, and the jury returned verdicts for the plaintiffs and special verdicts finding that when the placer locations were made no lode had been discovered within the limits of the lode locations. Judgments for the plaintiffs were en- tered upon the verdicts and motions

WORKING ON THE
 GREAT REPUBLIC MINE

w. D. Grannis has a few men at work on the Great Republic mine, in the Cedar Valley mining district, at the lower part of Deluge Wash. This week one of the men brought in a sack of the ore from the recent strike in the footwall of the vein that looks like the rich ore taken from the property years ago. The strike was made in what was supposed to be the wall of the vein and is considered of great importance. Since the uncover ing of the ore body considerable work has been done on the vein and with development at greater depth we feel sure that good producer will be opened. The vein is large and shows naturalization for a long distance on the surface. The men associated with MT. Grannis in the development of the property are greatly pleased with con- ditions and it is probable that con- siderable treasury vii be provided to carry on important future develop ments.

ARIZONA N0SSBACk .. VOTE $5OO,0O0 BONDS

E.A. Ritter, consulting engineer of the Arizona Mossback Mines company arrived lin Kingman last Wednesday and departed to the mines in company of Charles H. Burlock. Mir. Ritter re- ports that the board of directors have agreed to raise $500,000 for the equip ment of the property, the erection of a milling plant and the further devel- opment of the mine along the lines mapped out when the large share holders were at the mine last month. As soon as the special meeting is held, which is called for the purpose of authorizing the bond issue and vali- dating other propositions to be laid before the meeting by the directors, the bonds of the company will be plac- ed with the heavy shareholders of the property and active development all along the line will be taken up. The big men of this company are capable of taking care of the big issue and have the money ready to finance the treasury. In the meantime the man. agement is getting the mine in shape for the big doings that are to take place before the first of July. The equipment of the property with cleo tricity is one of the advance ideas of MT. Ritter, and the lines will be brought in as soon as possible.

RICH ORE STRUCK IN THE I.X.L. MINE

While cutting out the station on the 800 level of the IXL splendid body of ore was cut into. While no aver age of the ore was taken it is stated by the miners working in the property that it looked great. Supt. Atlee rea ports that the ore at it's worst is sure to be high grade mill dirt. The ore was. encountered in cutting a station and starting the crosscut, the shaft having been sunk close to the vein. If the ore is of value similar to that of the old body the mine will at once enter upon an era of productivity. From the surface ores shipments were made in the early days to the Mineral Park mill that gave above 1000 ounces silver. A fault cut off the ore and in the broken mass below that level only mill ore was found.
 It is the intention of the manage ment to crosscut the vein at the 200 and carry drifts into the ore bodies in both directions. ~''.,

GOLDEN HAMMER PROPERTY IS SOLD

Last weekJ. o. Elliott sold to J. G. Keseler, Charles Metcalfe, Ancel 'Tay- Tor and Charles Maddox his group of claims known as the Golden Hammer, consisting of six claims. The mlring property is situated about one mile north of the Catherine, over iu the Union Pass section, and about one half mile from the Colorado river. The main vein shows a two foot ore body that carries a large percentage of lead, some gold and silver. The ore outcrops 500 feet on the vein and invariably carries it's rich lead con- tent. Sixteen sacks have been sent to the shelter for the purpose of get ting a line on its shipping value.
 Only small amount of work has been done on the claims, but the pur- chasers are of the opinion that they will be able to open large shipper of this rich lead. Samples of the ore exhibited by MT. Keseler. show lead values better than 609o. ge E'a"a <

IMOLuE CIBSON-CHL0R|DE
 CUTS VEIN OF LEAD

The shaft of the Mollie Gibson Chloride mines has reached a depth of about 100 feet and has cut a body of ore two feet in width that is prac- tically solid lead. This is the first real ore body opened in the mine, al- though some exceptionally rich ore was found closer to the surface. The management now believes it has one of the real things of the Chloride camp. The property is being operated without ostentation and getting the worth of every dollar that is being put into it. It is we'll located and the management should be given every if. nancial assistance to drive the shaft to at least the 300 level.

SILVER JACK TO
 OPERATE SOON

Last week Jack Empey, accom- panied by several other Los Angeles gentlemen, drove overland to King man and went out to the old Hibernia mine to give the property the "once- over.S They were so we'll pleased with it that funds were deposited to take care of operations that contem- plate the driving of the tunnel into the ore body below the old workings. A contract has been let to carry the tunnel in another 100 feet, after which another contract will be let, which is expected to reach the ore body. The tunnel is now in 125 feet.
 The men who are now financing the property believe there will be no diff ficulty in putting it over. The mine is one of the best looking silver prop critics in the Wallapai mountains and was a producer of very rich ore in the early days. Owing to it's remoteness from roads and mills it was impossi- bls to handle the lower grade ores, but now that others are operating close to the property and with the building of good road the property will be given close connection with the main highways, allowing Iof the shipment of ores and concentrates by truck to the railroad. The situation of the property is ideal for mining and the men in charge of operations fec sure that they will be able to bring in a big winner. Phil Quinn, who was interested in the formation of the first company on the property, will be in charge of operations.

of the Cyclopic and feels certain that he will be able to make success ot the property. It has a great amount of ore in sight and only Ia small amount of work will be necessary to double the output. Every kind of labor saving device will be used on the property and the old fashioned percolating tanks are being changed to a Pachuca type, and a large num- Der of Pachucas are to be added. The property is situated about 60 miles north of Kingman, in the Gold Basin district, and nine miles east of White Hills.

a camping place for the night. The
little canyons were blue with
smoke from the campfires, and
the aroma of coffee and delicious
frying fish, floated up and down
the breeze as the picknickers pre-
pared the evening meal. Car after

A STORY OF ALBUQUERQUE
BY AN ALBUOUERQEEAN.

In the June Smart S& there is a
: complete novelette, by Harvey
FergussoD. a young writer well
known in Albuquerque, where he
was brought up. The stcry is of
interest not only because Il was
written by former Albuquerque
!, boy, and because it is very we'll
written, but also It describes with
a good deal of color this city and
+ its environs and conditions of life
here. Mr.. FERGUSON has given a
brief but faithful picture of the
VARIOUS elements which go to make
up Albuquerque life. The health
resort, the Mexican" element, the
conflict between the two races in
the development of the country
and the gradual recession of Span
ish blood before the onslaught OF
an overwhelming tide, ape all told,
as the wRter sees them, with some
feeling for the tragedy, but mostly
in a matter -of-fact way. The story
appeals as rather cold blooded
dispassionate analysis of the envi-
ronment in which the author was
himself brought up; an accurate
and Unconditional statement of fact
as he sees ii. He has employed as
Incidents with which to build up
his plot. actual happenings, which
furnish n more or less faithful
picture of life in New Mexico. The
story is that of young Delcasar, the
last of once influential and
wealthy family, who, to win the
little blonde gringo with whom he
has fallen passionately in love, as
sents to the murder of his old un-
Gle, so that he may fall heir to the
property before it is entirely
squandered. The objections of the
girls family separate the two and
prevent their clipping, so with the
loss of the love and romance which
his nature demands, and his spurn-
ing by the gringOes, the last of the
Delcasars feels that he is indeed
beaten.
MIR. rergusson has employed a
terse, simple style. with vivid short
sentences. In his description of
the mesa between Albuquerque
and the mountains, ana the life of
the Mexican sheepherder, he has
achieved an excellent bit OF real
ism, in the opinion of those who
alxo know the atmosphere of this
country. The appeal Of the simple
and elemental to Me college bred
young Delcasar is CleverlY por-
trayed, and the visit of the Oh
priest to him at the time Of his
uncle's funeral is anotheC we'll
handled situation. Almost poe
like in the mental torture which ii
describes, but more natural not
grotesque. The author displays an
insight into emotion, and handles
1t so that it builds the story, which
is. in the opinion of many who
have read it, the best thing yet
done of this Locality.
The novelette, is one which gives
= promise of other virile Characteri-
cations from the same source. II
reminds one of Russian short
stories in its feeling and manner
of handling, and Yq is a classic
of New Mexico distinctly.
