Since then | the commitice hias organiz:d by electing John | Daggett president and ex-State Mineralogist | J.J. Crawford secietary. Ths committee at | its meeting decided to informally canvass the State to locate striking mineral specimens ana collections, plan what might be inciuded in the exnibit and estimate its cost. Then a specific appropriation for the mineral e xhibit will be nsked of the mext Legislature. One | Iarge item of the cost will be the msurance of | valuable specimens. It is, of course, expected | that the State Mining Bureau wili contribute | liberaliy from its museum. The greatest Cal- | tfornia mineral exhibit ever made was ihat at and that cost about ’ I \HE effort to place a fine mineral and $18,000. Among all important mining States and countries, California most lacks agencies, public o: private, which mske any effort to advertise its mineral resources and mining vention did not take up the resolutions as they would have provoked a long and warm discus- sion, but referred them to the committee on that subject. During the year this commit- tee wili tind out how the propositions strike the California miner. The proposal to do away with apex, or extra-lateral, right law will be the theme of most discussion. This is almost universslly favored by mine-owners, as the apex law has occasioned 90 per cent of the mining iitigation, which has cost hun- dreds of millions in this country. The only objectors will be mainly prospec- tors wno have given little study to the matter and who will jump at the conciusion that to confine ownership of a vein to the perpen- dicular limits of a claim, though the claim | the | be greatly widened, instend of to whole vein wherever it may run under an- other claim, will make claims less valuable to them in the market. Sucha law, however, would work to their advantage in another way, becsusea buyer would tizen know just what he was getting as far as property limits went, and that he was LATEST NEWS FROM THE MINES, by the provisions of section two of an act of the Legislatura of the State of Califoriia entitl-d, “*Aun act prescribing the manner of locaiing min- 1ng claims upon the public domain of the United States,” etc., approved March 27, 1897, ‘Ihat on June 10, 1897, T caused said vrelim- inary notice to be recorded in the County Re- coider’s office of Amador County, and the same is now of record therein in book B of quariz- mining claims, page 50. to which record reference is hereby made for 4!l the particulars therein con- tained; That within sixty days from the date of said discovery I performed labor in the development of sa'd discovery. which labor was, and is, reason- | ably wo'th the sum or $60, a: d consisied of sink- ing & shat: of ordinary dimenstons on said vein to the depih of ten feet, said shafi having been sunk at the place of discovery : That within said period I distinct!y marked the location of said claim on the ground, so that the boundaries can be readily traced, and perfected said locasion; That the following is a description of sald loca- tion as final'y marked on the ground: Commenciog * * * VICE-PRESIDENT T.

For advertising California goeson its fame and the in‘ormaiim that naturally spreads in the ordinary courso of legiimate news, all of wnich starties no- body into new attention. A magnificent display st the world’s greatest exposi- tion would, if properly maiaged, be the bizges: and eheapest new advertisement Cali- fornia mining could buy. Advertisingisin these days more effective in the mining field than in the fields of cheap lands or ready- made clothes.

Californit could get up the star min- ing exhibit at Paris, and perhaps she will. One of the strange things in the proceedings roads affect the mining industry as vitally and more noticeably than any otlier interest. The plainest object lessons on the need of good ,roads may be found in the mining qis ricts of the foothills and mountains rather than among the farms of the valieys. During a considerable portion of the year, especially in the late win- ter and spriug, mines are lound closed down because {uel and other supplies cannot be hauled in at all or without 100 great expens», owii g to the condition of the mountain roads which must be used. Last winter and spring development work on huudreds of mines was postponed or stopped to await the time when the roads would b come passable. Carioad atter carioad of ma- chinery and supplies lay for weeks and months at railroad stations, and a vast amount of such shipments from San Francisco and eise- where were postponed until they couid be bauled over the roads. Men and companies deve.opment mechinery would wait aiter plans were ready fGr passable roads. At oper- aiing mines the installation of new and ad- ditional muchinery and the enlargement of operations would likewise wait, while in some instances mines were lemporarily closed en- tirely. Such impediments to progress mean to a community er district, for one tning, long de- lays on the prosperity which depends almost solely 1n mining development. It takes a dis- tiict two years to get to where it perhaps would be in one with good transportation facilities. There is a stoppage of the demaund for employment and of the outflow of money expended in weges, etc. There is cost and annoyance for mine owners. In these doys when cost of operation is 0 closely figured and when the great present reduction in such cost is doing so much to stimulate mining activity the cost of road transportation per ton is of es vilel importance 1o & mining ccmmunity as to an agricuitural one. Cheapness and convenlence of traus- portation, whe:her by rail or highway, is one of the biggest factors in the situation of the mining industry in Caltfor ia, and the miners ment. There will be much discussion among the miners of this State of the propoed radical changes in the Federal mining laws now that they have been specifical.y presented here by W. 8 Kere: of the notable work of Curtis H.

In bislecture on the cyanide process before the California Miners’ Association last Mon« day evening Prcfessor 8. B. Christy described the latgst development in the use of this process, which has just been made & suceess at a large South African mine. It consistsofa secondary treatment of the slimes, which, mixed with a cranide solution, are pumped fora time threugh a system of pipes. This process is separate from and supplemental to the regular Siemen:-Holske process. _The cyanide process, though it can now ba used at a cost of about 50 cents per ton of material treated, promises much improve- ment in cheapness, cfficiency and adaptability and many able experimenters are laboring with it. For several reasons it has just come into comparatively sifght use in Cali= fornta.

In the new mill being erected at the Bane ner mine in Butte County the stamp will -‘as.n 1050 pounds and be run by compressed air. The Meteor mine at Randsburg has been bondel for $25,000 by Messrs.
