Placer Production
Placer mines yielded 4O,S00
ounces, 14,500 more than in 1885,
and small scale placers produced
1900 ounces, recording no change
Lode mines yielded $4,000 ounces,

NO CHANGE IN LAWS

An item widely printed in mining
trade publications of the Northwest
including the Joural, regarding
changes in the federal mining laws
relating to location of claims, was
checked by Northwest Mining
through the General Land office at

entirely in error. No change has
been made in the matter of posts or

BROKER DOESN'T need
CONTRACT ON OPTION

Under a recent supreme court de.
cision in Montana, a contract EN-
ploying a broker or agent to in
duce others to enter an option OF
lease is not required by statute to
be in writing.
The court held that a lease is not
real estate and accordingly a
brokers' contract to procure or sell
a lease is not within the statute
and need not be in writing. The
matter came to issue in a suit in
volving a commission ON the sale of
a mining lease on Gold Creek.

Drospectors who 90 out into the hills
to find new mines, in the opinion
of Tom Westgard veteran Neihart
miner. who was a visitor at the
Journal office to comment on the
plan to lease" mining under a
royalty system.
IF the government wants miners
TO divide the findings, the prospectoI'
is willing to give the government
half of what he finds in the same
way that the prospectOr is willing
to divide with any Am srican citizen
who will provide the grubstake
money" he said.
"Otherise we see no reason why
the government should not retain
a royalty interest in all the wheat
that a farmer grows on a homestead.
A man can file on a homestead and
get patent to the land, under present
laws. 1t is expected that 1t will
grow crop or provide grass for

suitable for agriculture. The man
who patents a mining claim should
be on the same basis as the man

TWO MINING ISSUES

During the month of November

only two were for gold and silver
dndnes and two for oil and gas
wells. The former were to raise
81, 1893, 500 and the latter, $270,345,
which represented 1.9 per cent OF
the total of 1855, OBS 1853 authoriz-

featuring industry received 23.7 per
cent of the money. OF the total
65.2 per cent was to be used for
repayment of the bonds and Other
indebtedness and only 14.5 per
cent was to be used for purchase
