AS was the case with some of the
earlier visitors, Senator Cameron In
response to questions from newspaper
correspondents expressed the personal
opinion that Coolidge is favored by the
people for another term in the White
House. The only question, he .sald'
was whether the president cares to
succeed himself On this point, Cool
idge himself has thrown no light.
There is no question, the senator
said, that Coolidge can have the sup
port of the Arizona delegation in the
republican national convention of 1923,
while he expressed the opinion that
the president would have the support
Of the entire west, both in the conyen-
tion and the election.
But" he emphasized, II don't know
that Mr.. Coolidge is going to be cam

litical conditions, Coolidge rs to give

Akron, Ohio, son of the rubber manu-
facture, is to be received at the execu-

to be in this vicinity and has been in
vited to call, as Edsell Ford, son Of
the Detroit manufacturer, was received

The rubber production question has
long occupied the attention of the pres
ident, who frequently has had reports
upon it from Secretary Hoover of the
commerce department.

THE ALASKA MIXING LAW
Being extracts from Alaska Mining Law" by Hon. Henry Roden Juneau Reprinted by courtesy of the Author
 Seventh InstalIment.

Lode claims may be located under power of attorney. There is no limit to the num- Der that one may stake either for himself or for others. No authority in writing is required and no verbal instruction to stake for another is necessary so long as the one for whom the claim is located will not decline to accept it when it is presented to him. The placer locator, it will be remembered, can use only one power of att torney within one mining dis trict and can only locate two claims for himself and two un- der power of attorney in one month in the same district.
 His authority must be executed with all the formalities of law and recorded prior to the re- cording of the location certifi- cate. Not so, however, with the locator of lode claims. He may stake as many claims as he wishes for himself and for others and be only limited by the expanse of the country over which he is willing to travel.
 Section 232O of the Federal mining act reads: "No locat- ion of mining claim shall be made until the discovery of the vein or lode within the limits of the claim located"
 Section 10 of the Territorial act reads: "Any person who discovers upon the public do- main of the United States, within the Territory of Alas ka, a vein, lode, or ledge of

rock in place, bearing gold, silver, cinnabar (etc., ~may" locate a lode mining claim upon such vein, lode or ledge :"
 It is agreed then that the dis. covery of some valuable min eral in the vein, lode or ledge which is to be located is an absolute necessity. This dis covery, must be made in the rock which is found in place, that is, in the rock which forms the vein. There is no fixed rule as to what consti- tutes discovery and much depends upon surrounding con ditions. The finding of some valuable mineral in rock in place under such conditions and in such quantities as will be an incentive for person of ordinary intelligence to ex- pend further time, labor and effort upon the property in which it was found with a reasonable expectation of de- veloping a paying mine, will undoubtedly satisfy the law. As between the government as the owner of all the unappro- priated mineral lands, on the one hand, and first conner on the other hand, it is immateri- al which one of the acts re- quired to make a valid mining location is done first. But when two individuals attempt to acquire the same parcel of land it is then that the quest ion of priority of discovery be- comes the deciding issue and it may be said with much con- fidence that he who makes the first substantial discovery will succeed provided, of course, that he follows up his discovery by performance of the other acts required to be done to make his location per- feet under the law. What was said concerning the making and nature of a discovery in reference to placer claims applies with equal force to the location of lodes claims. A substantial discovery of rock in place must be the foundat- ion upon which each mining location is built and single discovery cannot be construed into two discoveries in order to support two locations by run- ming an imaginary line through the discovery point.
 Marking Place of Discovery and Boundaries. The discovery upon which the lode location rests must be marked upon the ground by the removal of so much of the overburden as may be necessary to expose clearly the .ye;r- discovered This exposure must be pre- served for future inspection, if necessary, and a substantial stake or monument of rock, earth or stone must be placed or erected close to it and upon his stake or monument the location notice must be posted.
 The boundaries of the claim must be distinctly marked up on the ground so that the
Hyder weekly herald., 1926-10-11

]
 same may be readily traced. Substantial stakes, posts or monuments must be erected at the corners and angles if there are angles in the side lines. If trees or posts are used they must not be less than three inches in diameter and they must be blazed. Less formality is required in the marking of the boundaries of a lode claim than a placer claim. The Ter ritorial act provides that the corner angle stakes or monu- ments must be marked with the initials" of the lode or claim and a designation as to the point upon the boundaries of the claim which said monu- ment represents. This, probably means, in ordinary language, that each corner or angle stake or monument must be marked with the name or number of the claim and the number of the corner or angle in regular rotation, C. the compass point which it represents in the boundary of the claim, such as Northeast or Southwest corner. The cent CT line as we'll as the end lines must be mar,,--ed with line stakes and in wooded coun- try the brush must be cut out or line of trees blazed. By center line" is undoubtedly meant the center of the vein or lode and not the center of the claim.
 Whenever it is impossible on account of inaccessibility, to place corner monument where it truly belongs, what is called a witness monu- ment" may be used and plac- ed as near to the true corner as possible, and upon this wit ness monument must be stated the true location of the corner or angle which it represents. This witness monument must be of the same size as are the other corner stakes or monu- ments.
 After discovery has been made and the discovery stake or monument established and the corners and angles of the location marked by substantial stakes and monuments, the lo- cator has thirty days within which to mark thoroughly the boundaries of his claim. As soon as the discoverer has as- certained or determined what portion of the public domain he desires to embrace within his location, he should post his location notice upon his discovery post. This notice must contain:
 -The name of the claim or lode;
 2-The name of the locator, or, if more than one, the names of the locators;
 3-The number of linear feet claimed in length along the center line of the claim (mean ing along the vein) each way -fTea4 the point Of discovery and the width of the claim On each side of the center line of the claim (vein) and also the general course of the lode claimed.
 Care should be taken in the preparation of this notice and

 location certificate must con- tain all the information found in the location notice and in addition thereto must contain the date of the location (which the Territorial act does not re- quire in the location notice)
 and also such description of the claim and it's boundaries with reference to some natu- ral object or permanent monu- ment as will identify it. in other words, the claim must be tied to some we'll known ob- Ject or permanent monument. A prominent mountain, the mouth of a creek or river or we'll known mining claim and the stakes planted by survey
 ors when making public sur veys, have been held to be natural objects or permanent monuments. The purpose of this is that stranger, from a mere reading of the location certificate in the office of the recorder may have no diff culty in ascertaining the To- cation of the claim.
 Excess Area In Lode Loca.'ons
 The law expressly provides that no lode location shall take in more than fifteen hun dred feet along the vein or lode and not more than ih-ee hundred feet on each sic of the center of the vein. [ is difficult for prospectors o lay out accurately their looati ms so that no more ground i3 talk ell ID than allowed by law. We shall see later that whor. sthe location is short, that ;s where it covers less than if. teen hundred feet alour tn. the vein or takes in less than three hundred feet on each side thereof, an amended lo- cation may be made and un- der this additional ground may be taken up. Where too much ground has been taken up, provided such was done by honest mistake and without any desire or intent to take up a larger quantity of land than permitted by law, the locator IS entitled to retain to the limit which the law permits, and only the territory within his location which is in excess Of these limits must be rejected by him. This may be accom- plished by means of an amend ed location and the filing O. an amended location ccrtifi- cate, as fully described in subsequent chapter. The To- cator should be careful. If he takes i'll more ground than :. fair minded and reasona' le man might be expected to do under similar circumstances he runs the risk of having court come to the conclusion that it was his intention to take up purposely and know ingly, more ground than al lowed by law and this would entail less Of tiie- cntife iouat-- ion. The law is we'll setted that where an excessive min eral location has been made through mistake, while the b. cator was acting in good faith the location will be void only as to the excess; but where the locator has purposely in- cluded within his exterior boundaries an excessive area ,u;th +ba f,.ar<I,,lo,,4 ;,,4or4. of
