AURORA BOREALIS
 CAUSES TROUBLES
Wire Communication Hampered
 by Natural Phenomenon

New York, Jan. .6 U7 - Aurora borealis phenomena, which handi- capped the international radio tests on Sunday night, occurred today throughout the country, causing ha- voc with wire communications. The first manifestation ot this nemesis oi telegraph companies and news asso- citations occurred at li:l9 q. m. in New York and one minute la.cr made itself felt in Chicago.
 While the manifestations were h. .ermtt'ent, they were sufficient to disrupt wire communication for short periods virtually in all parts of the country, Currents were felt on both overhead anI underground circuits.
 on Us frs. appearance the dis 'urbance lasted only q few minutes, when 1t cleared out, and then re- turned ct Il:&l a. ra,, New York time, and continued until 1I;3S o'clock.
 During these periods the wires Of Iae Associated Press were affected in New York city and in the state north 10 Albany and west to Toledo. X curious coincidence was that there was little effect al that time upon the wires in the east and in New Jersey.
 Wire communication centering about Chicago and Columbus, Ohio, was seriously affected,
 The American Te.-pAonI and Tcle- graph company reported that its wires had been affected all the way from New York to san Francisco and from Winnipeg, Cann to New orleans. The Western Union Ts,e- graph company. also reported trou- D." in all districts. The company's H5re chief stated that wires running orth and south, which parallel the magnetic field. felt the disturbance rss than those running east and vest, which cross the magnetic field.

WATER RIGHTS

Section 2339 of the Revised 5satutes of the United States provides that:
 Whenever by priority of pos session rights to the use of water for mining, agriculture, manufacturing or other pur- poses, have vested and accru- ed, and the same are recog- nized and acknowledged by the local customs, laws and decisions of courts, the possess ors and owners of such vest ed rights shall be maintained and protected in the same"
 This is generally known as the Water Law" of the United States.
 In 1917, the Territorial Legis- lature passed an act in an eff fort to somewhat provide for the appropriation of rights to the use of water flowing through mining claims. The act is as follows:
 Section l, That the locator of any mining claim in the Territory of Alaska who shall include within the boundaries of such claim both banks of any river, creek or stream, shall be entitled as against all subsequent locators of the waters of such stream, to the use of all of the waters of said stream for mining pur- poses or as much thereof as are necessary for his use in mining said claim.
 Provided: That any person locating the waters of said stream at any point above said mining claim and subsequent to the date of his location, may divert all or any part of the

THE ALASKA MINING LAW

 Fourteenth Instalment

waters of said stream, but whenever the locator of the
 mining claim shall make de- mand therefor, such subse- quent locator must turn back into the natural channel as much of the waters of the waters of the stream as may be necessary for the use of the claim owner in mining his said claim"
 The Legislature unwittingly enacted provision which, if it were possible of being car- ried out to it's logical conse- quences would set aside the Federal enactment and would nullify many an important judicial decision rendered in cases where the right to the use of certain waters was in- volved. The Territorial pro- vision would make applicable to the Territory, what our courts have heretofore said, never has applied, and in the nature of things cannot apply to our conditions nor to the conditions existing in any of the Western States and Terri tories. The Territorial act at least partially inaugurates what is ordinarily termed the doctrine of riparian rights" under which the owner of the soil has the natural right to the use of the water which flows over his land, without dilninution or alteration. He haS no property right Tn the water. He may use it as it flows over his land and as an incident to such use he can not unreasonably detain or pollute it and he must return 1t to it's natural channel as it leaves his land. This doctrine is in conflict with the spirit of the Federal Water Law and our courts have repeatedly held it is not suitable to con- ditions as they exist in Alaska.
 Under the Territorial water law, any locator of a mining

 CT He. who first nut the water to a useful and benefic-
 al use is prior in right ard vill prevail in a contest.
 It is undoubtedeGly true that ne who locates mining claim
 pon the public domain and
 here finds unappropiiated waters belonging to the gov- arnment of the United States. has a right to use this water
 or the purpose of working his mining claim, the same as he has a right to use the tim Der standing upon his location for the development of his claim. It has been said that the location of a mining claim, necessarily includes an appro- >riation of the waters which naturally run through the 2lainl. This statement is, how ever, incorrect. It goes with out saying that if water has been appropriated prior 10 the 'ocation of mining claim, uch water, for all practical purposes has become the pri- Eate property of the appro pri- ator and remains his property $ long as he puts it to a bene- lcial use. The question with which we are to deal, how :Ver, at the present concerns he acquisition of the right to
 SC unappropriated water lowing through or over g min ng location The belief is zen. 2ral, as we have heretofore 7tated, that the location Of a mining claim by and of i,ocl' also constitutes an appro priat- ion of the water flowing thru it. This impression ;s erronc- ous. Under the law, as ex bounded by our courts and the courts in all the Mining States and Territories as we'll as the Supreme Court Of the United States, the watevG of t. natural stream are con siderod as entirely separate and dis tinct from the lands through they flow, ami the rights to the use of such wat CTS only comes throurh an express appropriation thereof, and what is ordinarily meant by Constructive appropriat- ion," which means an appro-

 poses" The locator of such a claim may claim and enjo. the use of such water at any time and even after subse
 quent locators have diverted the water and used it else.
 where whenever the first To- cator shall make demand therefor"
 To say the least, the Terri torial water law is unsatis- factory and will be the source of future litigation. Up to the present, as far as we are in- formed, it's provisions have not been questioned in any court in the Territory. We have been unable to find any similar provisions in any of the mining States or Territories and therefore have no preced- nts to fall back upon. To us it seems that the law is in violat. ion of the spirit of Section 2339, of the Revised Statutes of the United States, unreas- enable and unjust and wholly inapplicable to conditions as they exist in the Territory. In passing, it may be said that it is at least doubtful whether or not the Territorial Logis lature has power to enact any law covering the right to use of water upon the main public domain. The courts of the Ter ritory and also the United States Circuit Courts of Alp heals for our circuit, have 9 number of times decided upon questions involving the right to the use and appropriation of water used or intended to be used for mining purposes and since these decisions are well founded in reason and justice and take into consideration conditions as they are found in mining countries, it would seem that little, if any lagis- lative enactment, is required to further cucumber the sub- ject. We shall hereafter in this chapter deal with the law concerning water rights as dealt with by the Federal and State courts, including the courts of the Territory of Alas ka, and in the light of these decisions attempt to explain the Territorial provisions, if such is possible.
 The general principle upon which contests between two mining locators are decided is
