CALIFORNIA OIL-FIELD NEWS.
(By G. Chester Brown, E. M.)
The Cositos ranch, in Ventma county.
which has been acquired by the California
Oil-Lands company, is the scene of much
activity at present, and from all accounts
a good production of high gravity oil should
be obtained at a moderate depth. The Tay­ r ,,"

operations will begin shortly. A number
of oil operators have been examining other

Ie and open to exploration alld
Section 2320 provides:
claims upon Veins or lodes of
quartz or other rock in place bearing gOld,
silver, einnabar, lead, tin, copper or other
valuable deposits, heretofore located, shall
be governed as to length along the vllln
or lode by the customs, regulations and
laws in force at the date of their location.
A mining claim located after the tenth day
of May, 1872, whether located by one or
more persons, may equal, but shall not ex­
ceed, 1500 feet in length along the vein cr
lode; but no location of a mining claim
shall be made until the discovery of the
vein or lode within the llmits of the claim
lOCated.'
"Under the above provisions it is clear
that there must be a discovery of a vein
or lode containing a valuable mineral de­
poeit.
"In East Tintic Consolidated minIng
claim the department held at page 273:
"'By the term, "vein or lode," as used
in the foregoing, the department Is not to
be understood as having. in mind merely
a typical fissure or contact vein, but rather
any fairly well-defined zone OIl' belt or min­
erai-bearing rock in place.'
"It is evident from the record before the
department that the deposits alleged to have
been exposed on these daimsare regarded
by the appUcan1; as posseSsing practically
no economic value, but that on the other
hand title to the claims is sought essential.
lyon account of their possible value for
certain unexposed deposits supposed to ex­
ist at considerable depth beneath the sur­
face, and having no connection, so far as
shown, with any deposits appearing on the
surface. The exposure, however, of sub­
stantially worthless deposits on the surface
of a claim; the finding of mere surface in­
dications of mineral within its limits; the
discovery of valuable mineral deposits out­
side the claim; or deductions from estab­
lished geological facts relating to it; one
or all of which matters may reasonably give
rise to a ,hope or belief, however strong It
may be, that a valuable mineral deposit
exists within the claim, will neither suf­
tlce as a discovery thereon, nor be entitled
to be accepted as the equivalent thereof.
To constitute a valid discovery upon a
olaim for which patent Is sought there must
be actually and physically exposed within
the limits thereof a vein or lode of min~lal­
bearing rock in place, possessing in and of
itself a present or prospective value for
mining purposes; and before patent can
properly be issued or entrY allowed thereon,
that fact must be shown in the ma.nner
above stated.
Called Evolutionary.
"This was not a holding that there must
be a discov~ry of ore of commercial value.
.0;:1&12.
The conditions present were, as found by
the department, that upon the surface there
were slight indications of mineral such as
would not warrant a reasonably prudent
man In spending hls time and money in an
effort to extract mineral, but the geologic
condItions were such as to induce the be­
lief that at a greater depth there was a
valuable deposit of mineral. Such a belief,
it was held, could not be accepted as a dis­
covery. The decision was not revolution­
ary but was an evolution from the prior
decisiOns and regulations of the department.
It is proper to .say that. a motion for re­
hearing in this case has been filed and that
there are other cases pending involving like
questions.
"In the cruse of the Silver Jennie, lode
(7 L. D., 6) It appea.red that there was a
vein or lode upon adjOining ground whlcn
the applicant for patent believed to extend
into the SlIver Jennie claim, but It had not
been actually disclosed, and could not be
disclosed without a great deal of a'q.ll)tional
,development, entaIling a large expe"lditure.
The department, however, was of the opin'
ion th3lt this was insufficient as evddenc~ of
discovery, and held:
"Evidence as to the discovery o·f the
alleged vein or lode should be furnished
showing the place where and when such
discovery was made, the general direction
of the lode or vein, and all the material
facts tin relation thereto; and such evidence
should be clear and l)Ositive, and based on
actual knowledge and the witnesses' means
of information be clearly set forth.
"The case of Castle v. Wamble (19 L. D.,
455) laid down a rule which has since been
followed by the department, and has been
quoted with approval by the courts. Its
synabus reads:
"A mineral discovery, sufficient to war·
·rant the location of a mining claim, and
the evidence shows that a person of ordin.
ary prudence would be justified In the fur­
ther expenditure of his labor and means,
with a reasonable prospect of success in
developing a valuable mine.
"The department has conSistently held
that a mere belief is not equivalent to a
discovery; also the fact that land is re­
turned as mineral does not obviate the
necessity of a discovery. (Relms v. Murray,
22 L. D., 409).
"In Henderson et a!. v. Fulton (35 L. D.,
652) the department considered a deliini·
tlon of the word vein or lode. At page
656 it quoted Justice J!'ield's la.nguage in
Eureka Consolidated Mining cQmp'any vs.
Richmond Mining company (4 Sawyer, 302):
"The miners made the definition first.
As used by miners, before being defined by
a.ny authority. the term lode Simply meant
that formation by which the miner could
be led or guided; it is an alteration of the
verb led; and whatever the miner could fol­
low, expecting to find ore, was his lode.

"The department is of the oplUlon that
~gislation,supplemental to the present min­
3g statutes, is advisable. There are areas
f public lands in which mineral deposits
re believed to be contained, but which. if
tlere, lie at great depth and upon which
iscoveries cannot be made without large
xpenditures, while under the existing law
valid location cannot be made until a
iscovery has bee naccomplished and the
rospector is therefore not fully protected.
'he department believes that legislation
hould be enacted authorizing it to grant
permit giving an individual, or individuals,
~e exclusive right to prospect a certain
raot of public land for the mineral it is
~ought to oontain for a limited period or
,me. Such legislation should contain pro­
isions requiring a certain amount of an·
ual development work as an earnest of
ood faith, restricting the area and the num­
er of claims that could be held under such
permit, and requiring within a limited

COPPER BUTTE COPPER.
(Sun, Richfield. Utah.)
"Billy" J()hnsron, W. C. B. Orrock and
Charles V. Voight are rejoicing greatly over
a recent strike in the Copper Butte prop­
erty, in which they are extensively inter·
ested. Mr. Voight came down from the
property last Friday, bringing with him a
lot of ore which shows values to the ex.
tent of 65 or 70 per cent copper. The
streak in which the rich ore is i()und is aot
wide, being but eight or ten inches, but
the ground on each side of the rich strel'k
is heavily impregnated with the red metaj,
and splendid values could be realized if ex·

THE LACK OF PUBLIC SPIRIT.
The Chamber of Commerce, .of Denver,
about a year ago, in the effort to stimulate
prospecting in Colorado, and to assist, as
much as. possi'ble, in the search for deposits
of the .precious metals, originated and or·
ganized the Colorado Grubstake & MlnL1g
company.
T.he idea involved was that prospectors
woqld be encouraged In their effort to dis­
cover and locate new mines within the en·
vironments of the Centennial state, anJ
tbese were to be assisted by the Grubstake
company; the company and the prospectors
to be equally interested ill whatever might
This move on the part of the Chamber of
Commerce had a stimulating effect in min·
ing circles, and, for awhile, it wall believed
the movement would receive hearty support
from mining men of means; men who bad
made big money in mining, ,and who could
and would contribute liberally to the com­
mon cause for the common good.
But did men of this class respond to the
call in the manner expected? It appears
that they did not, for it is learned that tbe
members of the Colorado Grubstake & Min·
ing company recently beld a meeting for
the purpose of dissolving the organization,
and for the sole reason that its treasury
contained but $1,200 with which. to carry
on the work, whUe "ap.peals to the public
for additional subscriptions did not meet
w:tb a liberal response."
It would seem sUl'prising that proposi­
tion of this character, originated by th~
leading men of a great mining center, should
fail -so dismally. But it is not, and for the
reason that many men who have made big
money in mining seem to be the very ones
who discourage prospecting and prospect
development; wbo listen with deaf ears to
appeals for assistance from those who need
money in mine development and equipment,
and who fail to give due credit to the in·
dustry from which they derived' their for·
tunes. We look to this class for supp'.lrt
and encouragement, but are disappointed,
for they are lacking in public spirit. Suc­
cess has changed their views of life, and,
from enthusiastic, hustling and enterpris­
ing men of a few years ago, they have de­
generated to irresponsive individuals with
the "marble beart."
If mining is to be fostered In the min·
ing regiOns of the west the prospector ~nd
mine-owner must look for an infusion of
.new blood into' the field, and to' those in
various lines .of, business who are willing
,
and anxious to get into the minIng game.

LOOK FOR THE BLIND LEDGE.
The intelligent prospector, in following
up the float found in the canyons, or on
the mountain sides, los alway.;; searchIng fOI
its source, being confident that it has
broken away from an out-cropping ledge
furtber up towards the crest of. the. range.
It nearly always transpires that this ledge
is found and that it forms the discorery
point for a location, and it is here, general.
ly, that the first development .work is done,
and it Is from such discoveries that many
producing and dividend-paying mines are
later on added to the splendid. string of
wealth producers with which the mining
camps of the west are adorned.

addition, drop by drop, of sodium carbon·
ate solution Na,CO., aided by shakings, from
time to time, until an excess of one drop
was obtained, as shown by the characteris­
tic permanent precipitate. The presence of
a greater excess is undesirable and easily
avoided. Too great an amount of sodium
acetate, resulting upon the subsequent ad­
dition of acetic acid, causes a return of the
blue color after the end point has apparent­
ly been reached. (This is also sometimes
caused by too great diluti(}n of the assay}.
From 2 to 4 cubic centimeters of acetlu
acid was then added and the vessel shaken
and aU(}wed to stand 5 minutes. Three

ready for titration with the standard SOlU­
tion of sodium thiosulphate Na,S,O, (38
grams of chemically pure salt to the liter
of distilled water). A second burette, cen·
taining this solution, diluted with three parts
of H 20, was used for the determination of
the end point after nearly completing the

full-strength solution of hyposulphite. The
hypo solution was changed every 3 weeks.

THE BECK TUNNEL REPORT.
The Beck Tunnel Consolidated Mining
company, of Provo, Utah, operating in Tintlc
Mining district, has submitted its annual re·
port to its stockholders, as follows:
Annual report of the Beck Tunnel Con·
solidated Mining company, June I, 1911, to
June 1, 1912.
Jesse Knight, president; J. William
Knight, vice president; W. Lester Mangum,

director; R. E. Allen, director.
Manager's Report.
During the year ending May 31, which
is covered by this report, the ore chan·
nel on the Beck Tunnel Uncle Sam bound­
ary has been developed by means of an in­
cline winze for a distance of 797 feet. This
winze 1"s equipped with a donkey engine to
raise the ore to the tunnel level. Most of
the ore shipped was mined from this winze
and considerable ore of shipping grade is
exposed.
After developing this ore body on its
course it became apparent that it was the
same channel as was followed on the 175­
foot level of the No. 2 workings, and work
was commenced on that level and a drift
run to get under this ore, and some market·
8.ble ore was shipped from a raise from this
drift. Prospecting in this section is still
in progress, but has yet resulted in open·
ing up but a little ore. At a point 350 feet
from the mouth of the winze there seemed
to be a split in the ore body. which began
to raise, and these were followed to the
southeast and southwest, respectively, until
they pinched out.
Several men have been engaged in clean·
ing up the ore left In the old No. 1 stopes
and small shipments have been made from
these workings. This work is still in
progress.

(Reporter, Eureka, Utah.)
The lessees who are operating in the
sent out their first shipment of ore this
week. The car contained 44 tons andac·
cording to mine assays will run very close
to 50 per cent lead with 25 ounces in silver.
Other shipments will Undoubtedly follow in
the near future as there is a very nice face
of ore exposed in this property, which is
iIlOW being operated through the Godiva
shaft. J. H. McChrystal, who is interested
in the lease, says that there has been some
delay in ore extraction owing to the fact
that it was necessary to do considerable
timbering in order to put the old workings
in safe condition.

News Letter states that the
in Chino stock in the past two days to
434 per share, a new high point, is not
the result of any new and sensational de­
;velopment at the mine, but rather to good
,buying by the insiders and interests closelY
connected with the management, in the be­
iief that the stock is cheap around present
prices.
The Chino property is developing into a
plUch larger mine than w'as ever expected.
It is now estimated that if the grade of
ore is reduced to 2%, the ore reserves which
will be mined by steam shovel alone would
amount to 80,000,000 tons, to say nothin~of
~ ~nsiderable amount of underground ore.
While this reduction of grade would ap
parently Indicate an increased cost and are·
ductlon of profits, the engineers estimate
that a cost considerably below 7 cents per
pound 'Would be. possible, even on the lower
grade ore, Which is less than any official
.tatement which has been made based on the
higher tenor ore.
Even with the figures of 55,000,000 tons
of 2 24% grade ore, Chino has a life of thirty­
)ne years; while, on the revised tonnage fig.
Ires, Its life, with the present _plant under
xmstructlon, would be more than forty five
rears on steam shovel ore. With such lives
t would seem as if Chino must increase its
)lant over the present 5000·ton rated capa­
ilty and In the case of the latter tonnage, a
~!lry large increase would be justifiable.
'. Operations at Chino are showing steady
lllprovement. The proportion of sulphide
I!l:'e to surface ores is increasing and the
.xtraction rising. On certain days this latter
gure has reached 74%. We understand that
.t the present time, with but two and one·
calf sections of the concentrator in commls­
ion, 'Chino's cost, on the inferior ores treat·
d is beloW 7% cents per pound.

,nd. When panned, the black sand would
settle to the bottom in long "strings" as gold
does in placer washing.
Puzzled by the great weight and peculiar
ap.pearance of the black sand, the E:ly
National people had numerous tests made to
determine its mineral contents, but nothing
was developed until an assayer at McGill
who had been employed in the platinum
mines in Oregon, determined to test it for
platinum and his experiments showed the
presenCe of the royal metal.
The or~ is, of course, very low grade
but the great value of platinum, the current
quotation being from $40 to $45 an ounce,
will make even low grade ore a highly profit­
able commercial product. The owners of the
property beUevefrom sucll tests as the)
have already made that the ore can be con­
centratedby a process of d-ry, magnetic con­
centrate worth $23 a ton without counting it.s
value in gold, silver and copper, a. trace of
all of these metals being shown in the ore.
C. F. Bird, of McGill, president of the
cOIllPany, J. C. Wheeler, of East Ely, and
A. B. Colwell, of the firm of Haff & Colwell
Brothers, went to the mines yesterday in an
automobile with George Jetter at the w'heel.
MT. Wheeler returned last night while Mr.
Colwell and Mr. Bird' remained at the mine
with two other men In order to do some
surveying and determine on the best method
for future work. That the deposit Is pf enor­
mous extent has already been proven by the
drift which has penetrated it for a distance
of sixty feet. It also outcrops on the sur·
face at a. point some distance from the work­
ings. The general character of the ground
indicates that the ore will grow richer with
depth so th5lfirst thing to be undertaken by
the company will probably be to deepen the
shaft.
The point of discovery is distant about 17
miles from the present terminus of the
Navada Northern ore line at Veteran.
Should the mines develop favorably, an ex­
tension of the road might result, .especially
as such an extens~on would no doubt bring
the ore from Hamilton in this direction in·
stead of their being shipped around by
Eureka as they are at present.
A. Ferguson, of East Ely, owns some
claims adjoining the Ely National company,
whose holdings comprise fifteen claims, and
it is probable that a good many other loca·
tions will be made as soon as the newS of
the strike becomes generally known.
Future developments at the mine will be
awaited with great Interest.

THE OLD CALIFORNIA.
(Mining News, Elk City, Idaho.)
The work at the old California Mine, noW
being worked by the Revenue M, & M. Co.,
is disclosing a fine body of high grade ore.
The work being done at present is in a
drift that. is being run to get around a bad
cave that occurred in the old workings, The
cave was at the face of the tunnel, which
is in 600 feet, and which is under a shaft,
the cave apparently running to the surface,
and it was not considered sufficiently im·
portant to try and catch it up, so ,a small
drift is being run around it, and a pillar
left to hold the ground. In making the drift,
the width of the vein was exposed, and
shows it to be nearly tW'enty feet, with sev­
eral streaks of very rich ore.
G. J. Calvert, the superintendent, expects
to cut into the vein in a few days, and will
then be beyond the old shaft, and expects
to find the same character of ore that was
taken from this old mine years ago.
This shafe was sunk by S. W. Smith
some twenty-five years ago, and solme very
rich ore taken from it, which was shipped
to San Francisco. It is not known why the
work at this point was abandoned as no
stoping was done. It is claimed by parties
that were here at the time, that the ore
was very rich, and that nothing has ever
been found like it on other parts of the
vein.
After Mr. Smith disposed of the property,
it passed into the hands of a great many
different owners, and no development work
was done, the owners simply doing assess­
ment work, and the tunnel was allowed to
cave and fill.
It is the intention of the present com·
pany to carryon development work and see
if there is a mine there. The showing is an
excellent one, for at present they have
twenty feet of good milling ore and it looks
like they were just at the heel of the ore
shoot.
The property is situated on the south side
of American river, about one mile south of
Elk City and is very accessible .

LANE MILL A SUCCESS.
(Star, Winnemucca, Nev.)
C~ V. Fike, general manager of the Gol·
conda Gold Ledge Mining company's prop­
erty situated on Kramer hill at Golconda,
was In town Saturday. He stated that the
mine and mill were under operation twenty·
four hours each d,ay and that bullion ship­
ments were a regular thing from this estate.
The mine deVelopment, under the super·
intendency of L. K. Kramer, the original dis­
coverer of the property, is prov!ng large
bodies or ore, in fact of such magnitude that
the mill is only reducing a small part of it.
, The mill, which Is a Lane Slow Speed
type, is handling about thf.rty-five tons each
day, with almost complete extraction of the
precious yellow metal, and a feature of the
property is that the gold is worth $19.14 per
ounce.

There are still various rumors in the air

the present it is all surmise, for no one
knows what the result of pending negotia
tions will be. Thursday President Keith and
Messrs. Cox and Howard, representatives of

Those who ought to know say the King will
not be sold, while others maintain that the

interests· in conflict with the King have
reached an agreement, a price decided upon
for the King proper, and a gigantic con­
solidation booked for consummation in the
near future-with Col. Treweek, who is cred­

IMPORTANT MINING DECISION.
(Copper Curb and Mining Outlook.)
That minin'g companies are entitled to
make a charge against net earnings for the
depreciation of their properties due to ex­

be assessed for taxation under the Federal
corporation income tax law only on the bal­
ance of net earnings after such a deprecia
tion charge has been deducted has been de­
cided in the Federal court for the Southern
District of New York.
The decision was rendered by Judge
Lacombe in the suit brought by the govern
ment against the Nipissing Mine company
to recover $8,000 additional income tax. In
rendering the decision, Judge Lacombe di­
rected the jury to find for the defendant cor­

America. If sustained it will mean that the

cent of the tax which it has been collecting
from mining companies; and those taxes
which have been paid under protest can be
recovered.
The government's contention in.the Nipis.

l:zed by mining companies, less actual cost
of production and reduction, is net earnings,
and, therefore, taxable under the Federal
corporation income tax law. The company

a process of liquidation by means of which
dividends are made avallable; and that,
therefore, the company is entitled to deduct

THE ROCHER DE BOULE.
(Herald, Hazelton, B. C.)
On the Rocher de Boule mine great
progress is being made. The drift on the
upper vein is in over 150 feet and the vein
is widening out and the going is better.
T,hey are driving fast towards the Pember­
ton tunnel which is three hundred feet from
the shaft and when they reach the tunnel
they will raise from the drift to meet the
winze being sunk in the tunnel. This will
give them a depth of 150 feet on the ore
I[or a distance of three hundred feet with
the ore all blocked out and ready to be
taken out for shipment. The ventilation
&haft cut at the hundred ft. point in the
drift is nearly completed. On the No. 2
vein the ore in the encline shaft is improv·
is put in, and when the capitalists arrive
to inspect their property towards the end
of this month they will find that they have
got a great mine. One thing about Rocher
de Boule it is all owned by a few men. No
stock has yet been put on the market, ex·
cept what was sold to the people of Hazel­
ton, and nOlle will be put on the market
until after the monied men have seen it.
When it is offered it will be at par and
there is every reason to believe that the
stock will enjoy a steady Increase until it
has reached several dollars.

THE McGILL MINING CO.
(Mining Expositor, Ely, Nev.)
James Brown, of McGill, has been award­
ed a contract by the McGill Mining com­
pany to drive fifty feet in the tunnel on
the company's ground, best known as the
Frederick group, and will begin work within
a few days with three shifts The contract
price is $10.50 a foot and the contractor is
to assume all liability for the safety of his
employes engaged in the work.
The McGill Mining company is controlled
by "Uncle" Jesse Knight, the lOrovo mil­
lionaire mining man, who recently obtained
patents to all the claims in the Frederick
group, which is situated on the crest and
both sides of the Duck creek mountains
directly east of the smelter. Several years
ago the Steptoe Valley Smelting & Mining
company started a tunnel through the range
from the west side, proposing to utilize it
to bring water from Duck creek by mean:
of a large pipe line but after driving- sev
eral hundred feet the company abandone(
the plan and turned the work over to thl
owners of the claims, .J. F. Brimm all(
associates. They extended the tunnel somf
distance farther into the 'ITlonntain befor~
~lr. Knight acquired control. Under hi!
d;rcction It was pushed in still farther Ul! ti
it is noW about 600 feet lOTI?; and as straighl
as a string. What was believed to be the
main mineralized zone of the Duck creek
range was cut and then work was suspend
ed to secure patent to th" ground.
The contractor is to continue the tunnel
straight ahead and the same size as the
completed portion whiCh is five feet wide
and six feet high in thc clear. For the
greater part of the distance the tunnel is
through solid lime where no timbering is
required. A number of fissnres have been
cut but no prospecting has been done on
them as the aim has been to locate the
main fissure where the best (ITe is expected
to be found. On the surfaee there are fine
croppings of ore that carry up to 80 per
cent lead. As the mountain into which the
tunnel is being drivel). is very steep the
tunnel gains depth and the face is about
fifty feet vertically fro rn the surface. It is
the expectation of those who are familiar
with Mr. Knight's methods that he will do
extensive work through the tunnel which
will result in proving whether or not profit·
able mines can be developed along the D'lCk
creek range which has such fine surIac('
showings in many places.

SMALL SHIPMENT-LARGE CHECK.
(Reporter. Eureka, Utah.)
The other day the Iron Blossom com·
pany received a check for better than
$20,000, ,this being in settlement for the
eighty tons of silver ore which was sent
out last week. This "high grade" was
mined from the No. 3 workings and it is
stated upon very good authority that upon
the footwall of the main ore body there is
seven to eight feet of ore which carries
400 ounces in silver and about $8 in gold.
In ioading the two cars, which left the
mine last week, this ore was followed out
to the edge of the stopes and the ground
being very heavy it will be necessary to do
some timbering before resuming work upon
this portion of the ore body. For some
time the Iron Blossom people have been
sending out this rich silver ore but it was
only a short time ago that Superintendent
Charles Zabriskie decided to keep it sepa­
rate from the lower grade material.
There is a very nice showing of cop­
per ore in the south end of the Iron Blos­
som but this ore is not being touched at
the present time, the management no doubt
having some good reason for deferring the
shipment of this product.
In driving the 200 drift around the point
where the cave-In took place a few weeks
ago a small vein of good lead-silver ore
was located and for the past week or ten
days Superintendent Zabriskie has been
keeping a couple of men at work upon this
ore which is now being followed toward the
south. The w'ork which has already been
done shows the Ol'e to be anywhere from
6 inches to 2 feet in width and to carry
values of from 20 to 30 ounces in silver and
from 15 to 20 per cent lead. Some little
importance is attached to the new find
owing to the fact that it is making out
into an entirely new section of the Iron
Blossom property and the present drift is
gaining ground very rapidly owing to the
contour of the mountain.

THE NEVADA DOUGLAS.
Big Copper Company Ships More Than
Eleven Thousand Tons in May.
The Nevada Douglas Co.pper Mining com­
pany, of Yerington district, is mare than
fulfilling expectations It is but a few
months, ago. now. that the railroad was
completed so that the company could ship
to the Thompson smelter. Since then ore
shipments have been gradually increased,
the consignments in May amounting to
more than eleven thousand tons; and.
this output is being gradually increased. In
addition, the mine is proving up in a most
gratifying manner, and the ore reserves
are being materially increased. while many
surface improvements are being made. The
Times, of Yerington, in commenting upon
oonditions at the Nevada Douglas. says:
The Nevada-Douglas management is
pushing things rapidly now. The tonnage
has been increased to more than the amount
of the monthly contract with the Mason
Valley smelter as the shipments for May
have been 11,700 tons. The mine has never
been In better shape, and the development
has reached a point so far ahead of pI:oduc­
tion that it is easy to keep up the ship­

The south face of the 750 level continues
in a good grade of ore. A crosscut on this
level has been run a distance of twenty feet
and a raise is being made to connect with
the sixth level. This work is in ore all the
way. The 619 winze on the seventh level IS
down thitry feet. having for this distance
had three feet of chalcocite ore averaging
40 per cent copper. In the 622 raise they
are going up on high -grade lense of ore
. with a considerable width of a lower grade.
The 603 raise, which it was supposed would
be run in barren ground. opened up seven
feet of talc which averages 10 per cent cop­
per. The 602 stope is breaking ore forty
feet in width and the 514 is follOwing an 18·
inch streak that has opened to ten feet in
width and the ore averaging 5 per cent cop­
per.
North of the big incline shaft, in the 600
north stope. in raising in supposedly leached
ground. they have opened ten feet of 6 per
cent copper. Th's is the only stope so far
opened up in the north end. A cross-cut is
being run from this level. whIch at this
writing is showing a very liberal quantity
of native copper.
Douglas Hill is looking about as uusal.
producing its full amount of ore. A tunnel
is started about 150 feet below Douglas Hill
tunnel, running in to tap the big ore bodies
already exposed in the upper tunnel. This
will give an immense amount of addit:onaI
stoping ground.
The gypsum pit is responding well to
its development and is producing 100 tons
daily. The Western Gypsum company has

n'9 Stolen Ores.-Where defend·
pretended' to be assayers in a
trict, had purchased large quanti·
which had been taken from com·
mines through innumerable
tmitted by their employees with
,t and cunning as to outwit all
md precaution, complainants had
te remedy at law, and were en·
naintain a suit in equity to reo
mdants from continuing to pur·
so stolen, notWithstanding such
constituted a crime.-'-Goldfi-eld
nes CO. V. Richardson, U. S. Cir·
District of Nevada, 194 Federal
Mining Stock.-The owners of
lOunt of mining stocl!: pooled their
f sold part of it to interveners,
Jment that the proceeds should
~o the mining company for the
developing th~. mine, with the
!ng that no part of the loans
.repaid, except from the earn·
, shares of the pooled. stock were
ars without any such agreement.
in an action by the original
's to collect the amount of their
i '"5
loan, the interveners could not enforce this
agreement; for that would operate to bene·
fit other shareholders who had not pur·
chased in reliance on the agreement.­
Tatem V. Eglanol Mining Co., Supreme
Court of Montana, 123 Pacific 28.
L()cation.-Eight pers'ons as associates
entered on and located a tract of 160 acres
of vacant mineral lands of the United
States under the placer mining laws and
marked the boundaries of the consolidated
claim. Before discovery they conveyed a
specific part to a third person 3;nd asso­
ciates who should organize a corporation
to which the part should be conveyed, and
the eorporation would immediately oooupy
the part and proceed diligently with the
work of exploration, and the labor done
should operate for the benefit of the re-,
maining land and of subsequent grantees
thereof. The corporation subsequently
formed obtained the llart conveyed pursu­
ant to the understanding of all the parties.
Held, that: the discovery inured' to the
benefit of the part not conveyed, and the
eight persons as associates obtained rights
thereto against a subsequent locator.­
Merced Oil Mining Co. v. Patterson, Su,
preme Court of California, 122 Pacific 950.
Safe Place to Work.-"Structures" used
in mining operations as passageways for
miners working in a dri.ft come within the
rule making a mineowner liable for inju·
ries to his employes, caused by a defect
in the material or construction of astruc­
ture which could have been avoided by us·
ing ~rdinary care.-Jackson v. Yak Mining,
Milling & Tunnel Co., Supreme Court of
'Colorado, 119 Pacific 1058.
EV'idence of Location.-Where, in eject·
ment for a mining claim, the only wmk
proved to have been done by plaintiff, oth·
er than that done in the discovery cut,
was the shoveling out of the old excava·
tion 250 pounds of material, and the ex­
tent of the excavation was not shown, the'
court properly charged that there was no
evidence that work was done elsewhere
than at the point of discovery.-Ferris V.
McNally, Supreme Court of Montana, 121
Pacific 889.
Sale of M;ning Property.-Where a
,bankrupt mining company's property con­
sisted of certain patented and unpatented
mining claims in Arizona scheduled as of
uncertain value, and certain machinery,
tools, cars, and plants, the book value of
which was given in the schedules at $22,­
791.27, and more than $300,000 had been ex·
pended in attempting to develop the claims,
a sale thereof for $50,000 was not so inade­
quate as to justify vacation on that ground;
no actual offer from any source to pay a
higher price having been received.-In re
National Mining Exploration Co., U. S. Dis­
trict Court, District of Massachusetts, 193
Federal 232.
Acts Constituting Location.-The min­
eral lands of the United States are open to
exploration to all alike, alld, until one
makes a discovery and posts notice, anoth·
er has an equal right to go on the ground
to make a location, but one who makes a
discovery and posts a notice Of. his claim
acquires a right to make a location to the
exclusion of another subsequently enterin'g
and making a location pending the time
allowed by Rev. Codes, seceon 2283, to
complete the marking of the boundaries
and the required excavation work, but, sub­
ject to this limitation, the rights of all to
enter and make explorations of the public
minerals lands are equal.-Ferris v. McNal·
ly, Supreme Court of Montana, 121 Pacific
889.
Pollution by Tailings from Mine.­
Where decedent, a mlneowner, requested
complaillants to abandon the line of their
~rst survey oJ' an irrigation ditch, and to
construct a flume over decedent's by·wash
·from the mine, extending the line of sur­
vey along a gravel bar on higher ground,
so that decedent's mining water and debris
would not Interfere, with the ditch, to
which complainants agreed, and in consid·
eration thereof decedent granted a right-of­
way for the ditch according to a new sur­
vey, and complainants built a flume across
a slough, and extended the survey near
the northerly side of the slough to a point
where the river from Which water was ob·
tained then flowed, and maintained the
same until, by the shifting of the river, the
.flume and head of the ditch were washed
away, together with a small bar at the head
of the slough connecting it with the south
channel of the river, complainants were
bound to comply with the conditions of the
arrangement to prevent the mining water
ifromrunning into the irrigation ditch be­
fore obtaining relief in a court of equity
as to such water.-Provplt v, Bailey, Su­
preme Court of Oregon, 121 Pacific 961. (
Underground Trespass.-Where defend·
ants made secret underground trespasses
across the boundary into plaintiff's mines
I
and secretly extracted ore from plaintiff's -II
mine, and indistinguishably commingled it
with ore from their own mine, the doctrine
of confusion of goods would apply, though
the ore was commingled by defendants' em­
ployes without their actual kno'jVledge, 'so
that the burden was upon the defendant, in
an action for the value of the ore converted
to show how much thereof was extracted
before plaintiff purchased and took posses­
sion of its mine, and how much was taken
thereafter.-Lightner Mining Co. v Lane.
