MIDSUMMER
GARDENING

Now is the time of the year when
we are reaping the greatest benefits
from our gardens, and in the super.
abundance of our products we are
hpt to forget that unless we do more
planting now we may have some
non-producing months later on.
The Fall garden, if not already
planted, should be started at once.
With the abundant rains which we
may reasonably expect this year dur
ing August, the growth of our newly
planted gardens should be phe-
nomenal
Plots under trees or in root COM
petition with large trees, will not
produce satisfactory Fall garden,
as the reserve moisture supply al
ready has been exhausted. While
such plots may be fairly productive
for an early garden, they are not
adapted for a late garden, and it is
generally seed and labor wasted to
Httempe 70 use them
The spaces from which we have
harvested the peas, early potatoes,
string beans, etc, should be thor
oughly cultivated and replaRted to
beets. carrots, kohl-rabi, string beans,
turnips and even a planting Of Golden
( Bantam corn might be risked up to
: August /.
If the earth is very dry, it should
be thoroughly soaked and allowed to
stand a day or two before planting
This is much preferable to watering
after the seed has been sown.
After the soil has been carefully
prepared and seed sown, it should be
firmly pressed down, even walking
upon the rows if no other means Of
compacting the soil is available In
the case of shallow planted seed, it
5s advisable to cover with a piece
of burlap or some other material
until the plants begin to break

THE EMMA

For q Midsummer towering an
nual, able to withstand the adverse
climatic conditions of our vicinity,
the zinnia has no equal. Since the
new improved giant double lowered
form offered in a fine array of color
have appeared. the plant has enjoyed
burst of well deserved popularity
In Washington this is firmly evidenced
in the annual 2innia show fostered
by the Federal American Bank, which
each Spring distributes free packets of
seed to all who will agree to grow and
exhibit the blooms.
In respect to cultural requirements,
there is no easier plant to grow than
the zinnia. The seeds, sown in the

Lime has other valuable functions
besides neutralizinA acidity namely
in releasing unavailable nutrients,
improving soil texture, and checking
certain diseases such as cabbage club

passed a full and comprehen sive mining code and the pro- visions thereof, with slight modifications, are now in force.
 These federal mining statues apply to all the public mineral lands belonging to the United States; but do not apply and are not in effect in the portion of the United States embrac- ed within the territorial limits of the thirteen original states; neither do they apply in those states which by special Con. gressjonal enactment are ex- rcepted from their operation. either because the mineral lands in those states had al- ready been disposed of at the time of the adoption of the general mining laws or be- cause Congress has by other laws excepted them. Among such states are Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. Pc. t. ions of Oklahoma, formerly Indian Reservations, but whi Il nave reverted to the federal government, are governed by the federal mining laws.
 In all the Pacific States and Alaska, the federal mining laws are paramount. They are in full force and effect. They may be supplemented along certain lines by state and ter ritorial legislatures, and local rules and regulations may still be enacted provided they are not in conflict with the federal mining laws or with the estate or territorial add.l- ions thereto.
 The act of May 10th, 1872. is still in force with slight amendments and provisions thereof, together with the acts passed by Congress or territor- ial legislature since that time will be considered hereafter.

The salmon pack in the Briyt- ol Bay district, is said to be the largest in the history of that section. All canneries wll have practically full packs, filling every can which waE shipped north to their plants in the spring. Capacity packs have also been made at False Pass, Ikatan, Squaw Harbor and King Cove. It is estimated by the cannerymen of the Bristol Bay region that at least a million and a quarter cases of salmon have been packed.

THE ALASKA MINING LAW
Being extracts from Alaska Mining Law by Hon. Henry Roden Reprinted by courtesy of the Author
 Second Installment

In 1863, on the south Snake River in Montana, forty-five miners made the following regulations:
 1st. That every person pres ent shall be regarded as a dis coverer in each and every gulch found by any party or by any member of a party.
 End. That each member as a discoverer shall be entitled to five claims of two hundred feet each along the gulch, namely, 2 discovery claim and pre-emption claim in the gulch, bar claim, a hill claim and a patch claim.
 It is claimed that somewhere around Helena, some twenty five men pre-empted Last Chance Gulch and when all the names had been used, they went above and below and organized new districts and staked these new districts in the names of the valiant twenty-five; and when this had been accomplished they proceeded up and down the gulch and formed some more districts and located them in the same manner and so OH until the gulch had been talk en up and they then crossed the divide and St&ked other gulches in the same manner.
 Similar things have been done in Alaska but who would have thought that the old timers of long years ago had such practices?
 Whatever may be said about the manner of executing these local rules and regulations, it is clear that, as under the Spanish enactments, discovery of mineral was the source of the miners title and develop ment work the continuance of that title. Upon these two propositions the federal min ing laws are based.
 Years before the first federal act was passed'in 1866 the miners had been clamoring for something better than their local rules and regulations to secure and protect their rights. Mining litigation was flourish ing long before any legislat-

i've authority had been exer- cised. As early as 1845 Presi- dent Polk called the attention of Congress to the unsatisfact- ory state of affairs in mining regions. At that time the fede- ral government had leased some of the lead mines but it had been found that it cost nor e to look after them and collect the rentals than the in- come amounted to. Again in 1856 President Fillmore rec commended enactment of min ing legislation for California and the territories of New Mexico and Utah but nothing came of the recommendation. It was after the Civil War, when the nation was heavily indebted, that many proposed some royalty system for the working of all mines, the pro- ceeds to be applied to the liqui- dation of the national debt. This idea was especially pop ular in the East and only by the diligent efforts of the senators from California were such plans frustrated.
 On July 26th, 1866, Congress enacted the first mining law under the title of An act granting the right of way to ditch and canal owners thru the public lands and for oth- CT purposes" This act is com monly known as the Lode and Water Law e. 1866." l. is imrnaterial here to explain how the act WIS passed under the above title. In it were pro- visions for the acquisition of mineral lands by citizens of the United States and those who had declared their in tention to become such. It set forth how, after $1, 100000 had been spent in improvements, patent. might be secured and it contains an intimation of lateral rights by saying that "a vein may be followed on it's dip to any depth although it may enter land adjoining" Claims were to be two hun dred feet in length along the vein and sufficient in width to allow the convenient work ing of the same as fixed by local rules. Only one location could be made on the vein, except that the discoverer could locate and hold one ad- ditional claim. There were , provisions for securing patent
 and the method of presenting
 adverse claims; authorizing the President to establish ad-
 ditional land districts, separat-
 ing mineral from the agricult-
 ural lands and establishing
 priority in rights to the use of 1 water.
 This act contained no pro-
 visions concerning placers. On
 July 9th, 1870, further sect ions were added to this act providing that claims usually 1 called placers should be sub- ject to entry and patent the same as lodes and that no placer location should there after be made containing more than 16O acres for any one person or association of per. sons.
