OIL AND GAS
LOCATIONS SAFE

ALI the oil and gas locations under
the placer laws before March IL.
1920, when the new leasing act was
approved, are fully protected under
the law. provided they were made in
good faith and have been duly devel-
oped, according to a letter written by
Clay Tallman. Commissioner OF the
General Land Office. to Senator Hen
ry F. Ashurst Of Arizona, a copy of
which has been received in Ely by L.
e. Troxel. oil g%eologist. 1t follows:
Hon. Henry F. Ashurst. United
States Senate-My Dear Senator: I
have received. by your reference of
June rs, a letter to you dated June
20, from L. E. Troxel of Ely. Nevada,
which letter is returned herewith.
Section 81 of the act Of June %.
1920, provides that the deposits Of
coal, phosphate, sodium. oil, oil shale
and gas, referred to in the act, In
lands valuable for such minerals,
shall be subject to disposition only in
the form and manner provided in the
act, except as to valid claims existent
at date of passage of the act and
thereafter maintained in compliance
with the laws under which initiated.
which claims may be perfected under
such laws. including discovery.
"Your correspondent seems to be
misinformed as to the effect of this
provision, which is fully explained by
paragraph 32 of the oil and gas reg
ulations approved March IL, 1920.
The former law providing that lands
chiefly valuable for oil or gas may be
located and patented under the placer
mining laws, having been repealed
by the new law, no claim to oil or
gas lands car now be initiated under
placer mining locations; but such
lands are subject to the new law, ex-
cept where covered by valid claims
heretofore initiated. A valid claim
is M duly located on which a dis
covery of oil or gas had been made
at the date of the leasing act, or on
which, at that time, the claimant
was engaged in diligent work leading
to discovery, which work is continued
until discovery is made. Under the
Law all pre-existing claims are fully
protected where they are made in
good faith. and duly developed. See
cases of Union Oil Company versus
Smith, and McElmore versus Express
Oil Company. Very respectfully,
CLAY TALLMAN,
Commissioner"
According to the explanations con-
tanned in this letter, claims made
since March IL. are not valid unless
made in accordance with the require
ments of the leasing act.

THE RAILROAD AWARD


The board created by the Esch-
Cummins law has awarded the e.
OOO, 900 railroad employees OF the
United States increases In wages
amounting I o s600,000,OO0 in the
aggregate. While the demands OF
the employees have not been fully
met, they will no doubt accept the
award. The railroad executives will
make no complaint regarding the ad-
ditional burden placed upon the
transportation system, but they will
be compelled to increase the freight
rates something like Is per cent In
order to meet the pay roll and con-
tinue to exist. No other course Is
open to them and they are not open
to criticism on this account, says the
Salt Lake Tribune.
Increased freight rates will add to
the cost of living without doubt and
the burden will finally fall upon the
overloaded backs of the consumers.
There is no avenue of escape. All
increases in taxation settle down in
the INT spot, which is a very excel
lent reason why Congress should go
slow in authorizing the expenditure
of money. The situation in this coun-
try at the present time is not appal-
ling, but 1t is serious in spite of the
evidences of prosperity on every hand.
II we could sink partisan politics long
an4r1h 20 o4rnn ..pAn a Anonafa1 mol
icy. including a budget, good results
would naturally follow. This, how
ever, is practically impossible and we
must depend upon the patriotism,
honesty and fidelity Of those who are
to conduct the affairs of the Govern
ment after the fourth of next March.
assuming that the present admin
stration and Congress will remain at
l~oggerheads until new men are ready
to take Office.
The railroad wage dispute has been
lowering over the country like a dark
cloud for many months. Now that 1t
Is in a fair way of settlement it is to
be hoped the big brotherhoods and
all the other union employees will be
content and give the people of the
United States a m~uch-needed rest.
The board arrived at the conclusion
that all these employees were entitled
to more money than they had been
receiving. We do not question the
justice of the award. but we know
that the burden upon the rank and
file is bound to be onerous.

AIRSHIPS

According to a current Associated
Press news item, a hundred business
men in various parts of the United
States are employing airplanes for
transportation between their Offices
in the cities and their homes in the
country or at the sea shore or in the
mountains. The estimate is made
by the Manufacturers Aircraft asso-
citation, and does not take into ac-
count the number of itinerant aerial
"taxi-drivers," who would carry pas
sengers on short flights. The num-
Der of these is placed at 800.
The association says there is a
steadily increasing demand for air
craft of the commercial type, but,
contrary to some published reports,
the demand does not equal the sup
ply. Factories now in operation in
the United States could construct ten
times the number of aircraft which
optimists estimate would be required
this year..
A trip throughout the country ia
ken by representatives of the associa-
ton revealed some interesting uses
to which aircraft are being put. "In
Seattle during the tourist season."
the investigators reported. "a passen-
ger airplane makes daily runs over
and around Mount Rainier, flying at
10000 feet, some 5000 feet above
the mountain. At the Santa Barbara
seaside resor a flying boat is in daily
operation over the channel, two of its
most interesting passengers during
the early part of the year having
been the King and Queen Of Belgium.
Regular flights are being conducted
over southern California with a baby
blimp.
There is no little agitation for an
extension of the aerial forest patrol
in California, and elsewhere, which
has been instrumental In protecting
life and property from fire loss. The
California Rice Growers association,
which last year established a service
patterned after the forest patrol over
$4,000 acres of rice lands, has en-
larged the service to cover twice that
number of acres.
There is no question that the COM
mercial use of the airplane Is steadily
increasing. 1t perhaps will be some
years before the airship comes into
general use, but 1t seems certain that
It's employment will increase enor-
mously in the immediate future. +.

ALL ADVERTISING
MUST Be MARKED

A number of newspapers through
out the State have unwittingly been
violating the Federal code in regard
to publishing advertising matter with
out so marking the same, according
to representations made by e. S. Far
rington, Federal district judge. The
matter was discussed by Judge Far
rington and interested parties last
week with the result that the court
has asked that the provisions of the
law be given publicity and the news
paper publishers be publicly notified
of the attractions that heve been 60
ing on. says the Reno Gazette.
Judge Harrington quoted the U. s..
statutes, Vol. 81, page 553, also COM
piled statutes. Sec. 1914, in which it
whatever nature, whether 1t is paid
for or given. must be plainly marked
advertisement"
The range of advertising includes
editorial, political or reading matter.
The fact that a considerable amount
of commercial advertising, taking on
the form of reading matter, has been
run in the papers without proper
identification, caused Judge Earring
ton to issue the warning to the papers
throughout the State. The fact that
a political campaign is on, and un-'
d~oubtedly the press will be used lib
orally, is another reason for the pre-
caution.
