ZERO HOUR IS
ARRIVED FOR
Silver PRICE:

The daily press will today (Satur-
day. carry announcement of the
presidents silver purchasing policy,
both as to the price of domestic sill
yer and the world price.
The London silver agreement ex-
Dired at midnight Friday night as
did the silver purchase act. 1t is
known that the United States has
agreed to continue to buy newly min
ed Mexican silver at a delivered
price of As cents an ounce. This
leads to the conclusion that while
the London silver agreement will
not be renewed, the United States
will dal with other countries indi-
vidually on a policy intended to
stabilize and raise the world silver
price.
The white house has indicated
that the price of newly mined do
nestle silver will be continued at
around rs cents under a day-by-
day policy similar to the gold price
policy. In no event will the price
for domestic silver be reduced below
70 cents, it is understood.

OUerlaps Effective When
Homestead Right Abandoned

The courts and the United States
Department of the Interior have
long ruled that when a junior claim
overlaps senior, the junior does
not automatically enlarge to take
in the overlap when the senior claim
is abandoned or becomes nOn-exist-
emit for any reason. Amendatory
location cures and takes in the
overlap.
Then came the Stockraising Act,
and in 1926 the very able First
Assistant Secretary of the Interior,
Mr. Finney. clarified this doctrine
in the case of Filtrol Co. vs. Britain
and Echart 81 LID. 649). ruling
consistently that mining claims laid
over older homestead applications
did not automatically enlarge to
take in surface as we'll as mineral
upon the subsequent abandonment
of the homestead. 1t was left to
amendment of the mine claim to
cure and take in surface rights.
The above case has ever since been
cited as governing in such matters.
That is, until very recently when
the present First Assistant Secre-
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1938-01-01

tary Walters seems to have upset
his doctrine in the case Of E. Clark
Whiete, involving the Procrustean
mine claim laid over a homestead
that was later voluntarily abandon
ed. The revolutionary decision re-
versing an old accepted doctrine re-
now published in advance form by
the government printing office, and
will occupy pages 605-7 Of Vol. So
of the Department of the Interior.
This new decision is extraordinary
in ruling that it is not necessary to
amend the mining claim, but that
the claim will automatically enlarge
upon the failure of the homestead
er to perfect his entry to allowance,
though admitting that an "applica-
ton" by a qualified is to all intents
and purposes an Gentry" segregat-
ing the land. II this doctrine is
carried to its ultimate, inevitable
conclusions. it means that overlaps
will automatically be included with
out amendment, upon abandonment
of an older appropriation of the
public domain.

c. E. Bfggs, well known mining
man, formerly of Great Falls, writes
from Wallace, Idaho. that the Au-
rora mine on Deer Creek is hold
ing the attention of the district
at this time, the lower crosscut
tunnel reached the vein on Decem-

inches Of ore was exposed in a well
defined ledge, the vein was cut 600
fet below the apex Drifting on the
vein will now be carried on to the

ground will be opened up. The
vein has been proapected through
eight different openings to the west
for a distance of 5000 feet. This
great fissure vein cuts all of the
quartzite formations and contains
high grade Silver and Lead ore. The
0ig tunnel just completed will be
the main haulage tunnel and will
be the front door of the mine here
after. The Aurora Mining company
owns 40 mining claims and a ranch
along Beaver Greek and the high

AT BELL Mine

Construction of a 100-ton nota-
ton mill at the Bell mine near Vir-
ginia City is now in progress, ac-
cording to d. w. Arbogast. who was
visitor in Great Falls. A four
man crew is employed in the mine
while work on the mill progresses.
The Bell mine. also known as
the Alder Gulch group, is owned
by T. Tomich of Butte and is un-
der lease and option to Arbogast
and associates.
During the past year several
shipments of ore have been made
to the smelters but the ore is of
such a grade as to make milling
on the property a necessity for
profitable operation.

WASHINGTON-A reduction var
wing form ! to Is cents a hundred
pounds on refined and low grade pc
troleum products from Billings and
Laurel to destinations in North and
South Dakota and Minnesota, or
dered this week by the interstate
commerce commission, should en-
able Montana oil producers and re
fineries to compete in those terri
tories with establishments in the
Wyoming and midcontinent fields.
The new rates become effective
March "a, 1888.
The existing rates were held
unreasonable by the commission
in a decision handed down in the
case of the Independent Refining
Co. and others against the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad and
others, and reasonable rates are
prescribed for the future.
Petition for the reduced rates
was filed by the Independent Re-
filming Co. and others of Billings
Numerous refiners in the midconti-
nent field and Wyoming interviewed
opposing the granting of lower
rates.
Reviewing the situation showing
the extent to which Montana re-
fineries were excluded from COM
peting for business in the Dakotas
and Minnesota, the commission, in
its decision, said:
'In 1885 the total movement of
products terminating on
the three principal northern lines in
North Dakota and Minnesota was
49, 286 carloads, or 1,349, 6S7 tons.

PLANS 1000 TON
Mill CAPACITY

A modern mill with an ultimate
capacity of 1000 tons of ore daily

drifting on the vein and the driving
of a new tunnel to cut the vein at a
depth of $50 feet. B. F. Thrailkill
