Wright, | stone, the varfous fire clays, asphaltum chi an of the mineral lands com- | and all kindred interests of the mineral mittee of the California Miners’ and metallic classes; to secure better Assoclation, has received from ' many quarters much indorsement and encouragement for the pro- | posed new law protecting oil miners tn | prospecting on public lands by applying the principle of the tunnel location law | to the oil industry. As under existing laws and decisions no | mining claim is a valid one and no lani mineral land until a “discovery” of min- | eral has been rtade, and as petroleum can seldom be discovered without the expendi- ture of time and money for boring, the proposed law is obviously just from every | point of view, and would interfere with | no rights except the technical and unjust right of a “scripper” or other agricuitiral | claimant to get mineral land for mining | purposes by calling it agricultural and de- | nying, for purposes of acquirement, the | existence of the mineral he seeks. Under | the proposed law one may locate a placer | claim in a supposed oil belt and may hola the land pending discovery if he proceeds with proper diligence.- The law, which was framed by a joint committee com- posed of the mineral lands committee of | the California Miners' Association and committee of leading oil men, and which included John M. \\'rlgitl. Surve‘yéwr Gen- | eral Gleaves, Curtis H. Lindley, W. H. H. Hart, W. S. Keyes, A. 8. Cooper, Messrs. | Canfield, Jones and others, is as follows: An act 'to amend the petroléum act, approved | by the President February 11, 1837, so that the | same shall read as follows: | Section 1. That any person or assoctation of persons authorized to enter lands under the mining laws of the United States, may enter and obtain patent to lands containing petroleum or other mineral oils or other hydroclrbons.| and. chiefly valuable therefor, under the pro- | visions of the laws relating to placer mineral | laims; provided, the locaters of placer mineral claims believed to contain petroleum or other mineral oils or other valuable hydrocarbons, shall have three months from and after the marking of thelr claims on the ground within which to begin work for the purpose of com- pleting discovery, and such discovery when made while working the claim with reasonable diligence, shall relate back and have effect hute pro tunc as thcugh made before or at the time of marking the claim on the ground. adverse 1ights to any part of the claim can be acquired by other parties within sald period of three months, nor thereafter while work thereon is being prosecuted with reasonable | ailigence; but fallure to prosecute work for #ix months shall be considered as an abandon- ment of the clalm and fallure to begin work a forfeiture of the claim. When any location is made on surveyed land, the filing of a verified copy of the notice of the locaticn in the local land office within twenty days after the marking of the claim on the ground, shall operate to withdraw the claim from entry, and failure to so file such notice shall work a forfeiture of the claim. Provided, lands containing such petroleum, or other mineral olls, or other hydrocarbons, Which have heretofore been filed upon, claimed | or improved as mineral, but not yet patented, | may be held and patented under the provisions of this act the same as if such filing, claim or improvement were subsequent to the dat of the passage hereof; and provided, the cwn- ers of such locations made before the passage of this act shall have three months from and | after the approval thereof, within which to file verified copies of the notices of their loca- ticns in the local land office, znd fallure to so file such notices shall work a forfeiture of their clatms. Sec. 2. This act shall not apply to the Dis- trict of Alaska. A typical response recelved by Mr. | Wright during the week is that of C. C. Wright of Los Angeles, who says: *“I have given the bill a careful reading and | it has my very warm indorsement. If such a bill can be enacted it will put at rest all { the questions which are now vexing thouse who are_seeking honestly to develop oil | Jands. We ought to make a strong puil and a pull all together for the enactment | of this bill. Please let me know if there | is anything I can do to further the cause.” | The bill will be sent to Washingt. 1 for introduction by some member of the Cali- fornia delegation this week, and it will be | backed by strong influences. A somewhat similar but less valuable bill has been in- troduced by a Wyoming representative. As the measure i of interest only where | portions of the remaining public domain | are oil-bearing it will arouse no class or sectional opposition, and any opposing ar- guments by those interested in acquiring public oil lands in deserts as agricultural fanas will necessarily be weak. The outlook for mining legislation in Congress has wonderfully brightened dur- resent session. When California a governmental department de- ago. there roposed proposes voted to mining several years were few answering echoes. tle attention or favor. The Land Office was hostile until Hermann succeeded The industry was not an or- ganized force and was not heard and felt £5 & unified interest. It was not of enough consequence to command great prestige. Now it has awakened to a wonderful new development. It is rapidly approach- ing an output of an annual billion in raw Its stupendous future possibil- ities are being clearly seen and its enor- mous significance in the industrial and commercial life of the nation is being aj preciated. It s cutting a large figure in Yhe foreground of the nation’s great Western advance which is stirring the in- terests of the world. So it i not so strange that one of the bills creating a just won the victory of a lavor-’ able report from a House committee. The | “hances of its passage by this Congress are uncertain, When it becomes the pres- ent issue in House and Senate it will meet | opposition and its outlook may be seen | to need two or three more years o brightening, but Uncle Sam will sure bave a Secretary of Mining before very long. Probably the people after a Secre- tary of Commerce and Industry will have to be dickered with. But the scheme will recelve far more favor than even a year ago. ";l‘his condition gives encouragement for the mineral lands bill, for the petroleum bill, for the revision of mining laws and other measures for the benefit of the miner. The report of the Federal engineers composing the California Debris Commis- sion at last formulating an impounding Scheme calls for $800,000 for proposed re- straining barriers in the Yuba River, and as but "000 has been appropriated by nation and State for the work Californja | has a $300,000 appropriation to go to work for. % Very active preparations for the third ting of the International Min- ing Congress in Milwaukee, June 19-23, are being made by the executive committee, and the meeting promises to be the larg- | and most important convention of | ::ltnm‘gn interests yet held. Over 1000 del- Sgates will be named by Governors and organizations invited to send representa- tives and over 100 technical and scientific experts have already signified their in- tention to be present. California should be and probably will be well represented. Organized effort to do something for the great mining Industry began with the | California Miners' Assoclation in 1892, and | and its work and example have been the | chief factors in getting the mining inter- ests to work together for the industry. The mining men of the West and the Congressional delegations from the West heve up to now accomplished what has been done without the co-operation of the coal, iron, copper and other mining inter- ests of the East. Holding the congress at Milwaukee will awaken interest in the Fast and draw_those forces into active co-operation. The influence of this con- gress will be a big force in aid of the mining legislation asked of Congress, and Which chiefly originated in California. It is good to See newly permeating the in- dustry the spirit, hope and confidence re- flected in a recent address by the ex- ecutive committee as follows: “A new commerce, a new Ipolll—'y a new destiny and a new purpose for being and living confronts 75,000,000 of people, and the greatest factor in promoting the wealth and the power of this country is the mining industry that is the power of this country. It is the mining industry that is the power that will most easily, naturally and permanently build up our foreign trade, Testore prosperity among the ople and lay a rm financial toundp:tlon for the present and future generations. It is therefore urged that all earnest scientists, metallurgists and prac- tical mining and mill men, manufac- turers of minkpg machinery and all others interested in advancing the welfare of this nation attend and participate in the deliberations of this coming session of the International Mining Congress, and by their presence, instruction and advice make the proceedings of this assembly so interesting and so educational in their character as to command favorable con- sideration throughout the civilized world. It is not the object of this congress to confine its considerations alone to that of mining for gold and silver and their by- roducts, but that of irgm, coal, marl Ineeded changes in the Federal mining | lands were in a mineral belt, were min- industry in the recognition of the mining o Bout ang_to ng abou national Government laws.” Now Shasta County has a ‘“‘scrip” war in which miners alone are contending. The Mountain Copper Company has for a Bood while been steadily acquiring mining claims all about its big Iron Mountain copper mine, looking well to the future and planning to greatly extend its mining | operations. But recently it began an ef- fort to secure 7900 acres as agricultural land. It bought forest reserve rights and located them on selected tragts to the ex- tent stated in the name of General Man- ager Louis T. Wright. Miners of the whole region flercely protested that the eral and should be kept in the mineral domain. One hundred and fifty men gathered at a meeting in Shasta a week ago and effected an ol tion to fight the comfnn 'S proce fi which they | vigorous) ‘v enounced. atever be the | merits of the controversy it is a small thing compared with the enormous amounts of mineral land in that northern region which the railroad company has secured patents to gnd which it 1s still selecting for patent. 3 A special correspondent of the Mining and Sclentific Press has rediscovered Mark Twain's original of “Truthful James” up among the rich pocket mines of Jackass Hill, that classic old camp near the Stanislaus, in Tuolumne County. James Gillis of Sonora is the said original and he is the principal proprietor of things about Jackass Hill. The hill is honeycombed with old and new ‘‘coyote hole’ shafts, and it is reported that “thirty men are at worl on this historic eminence. In one of the Gillis mines the persistent searchers for wealth are down 180 feet, which is about as deep as any shaft was ever sunk on the hill. The slate formation is traversed with narrow ledges of quartz and these ledges expand in spots to heavily mineral- chunks, from which quantities of free gold are taken. One pocket thrown out a blast a few years ago yielded $45,000. ithin the past two weeks two pockets containing have been extracted.” The mining regions are beginning to worry about lack of rain and snow again. The two preceding dry years dealt a very hard blow to the mining industry, and when the heavy rains and snows of last fall and early winter came all looked for- | ward to a fuil water supply and an excep- | tiorally prosperous season. It has not| kept on snowing and the SnOwS are pretty well gone in the Sierras, which means | low streams for the summer if the supply is not replenished. The mining industry needs heavy spring storms. Alpine County has long had a “lost arrastre’’ mystery and a lost mine that goes with it, and with the other lost mines | of the Pegleg sort and recent mining | activity near fidflrkleevllle has revived | speculation abott it again. It was away off in the mountains somewhere and has been seen by cattlemen in the past. It is| supposed to have been buried by detritus brought down by a cloudburst. The remarkable quartz crystals of great size and clear quality which have been taken from the Green Mountain mine In Calaveras County have netted the owner $17,000 so far. ey are found in the gravel along the rim of the buried ancient channel which this drift mine penetrates. Tiffany of New York has taken the prod- uct and cut the crystals into precious balls, in which form they meet readiest sale as ornaments, the value of such a ball being sometimes thousands of dol- lars. These California crystals will form a leading feature of Tiffany’s display at the Paris Exposition. The mine is now | being worked for gold, but the deposit of | crystals will be worked in the future as the opportunities of the market allow. A Fish Commisisoner in Tuolumne | County has caused contemptuous smorts | and surprised opposition by serving no- | tice on mill owners to keep out of the streams tailings, which do not agree with fish, the said fish being protected by | statfute from any lime, gas, tar, coccu- | lus indicus, sawdust, mill refuse, etc., deleterious to fish. The Calaveras Citi- zen vigorously opposes closing down the mother lode mines or ccoking mill tail- | ings for the benefit of “a few fish.” nother big low-gr-de mining enter rise will be that of the Royal Consolidated mines at Hodson, in Western Calaveras County. There is a great amount of low- grade ore which is cheaply mined, and for a good while forty stamps have been steadlly and profitably dropping In the present mill. It has been decided to add a new 120-stamp mill, giving 160 stamps. A _new oll company having 640 acres of land has placed its capital stock at $640,000. More rich strikes of water are being made In the desert region and especially about Randsburg, where a good deal of boring is going on. One large flow was struck at 13 feet, and near Goler the Yellow Aster Company has just struck a supply which was not affected by pump- ing 200,000 gallons in a day. The number of oil derricks in Los An- eles City is steadily increasing. For the | ast quarter of 1599 municipal license was paid on 661 derricks. Secretary Strasburg of the Ofl Storage | and Transportation Company of Los An- geles places the stock of oil on hand in| the Los Angeles distriet at 12,000 barrels, | and estimates the present production of | Southern California as follows: “I do not think the present production of oil south of Tehachapi will reach 200,000 bar- | rels a month. A liberal estimate would be: Los Angeles, 3500 barrels a day, or 105,000 barrels a month; Fullerton, 15,000 barrels a month; Whittler, 15,000; Puente, 10,000, and Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, 50,000. Mining progress is steadily bringing the | low-grade and base ores of the Mohave desert reglon into availability. At Victor, San Bernardino County, the Rose Gold Mining Company is now mining, milling and cyaniding ore at a total cost of $2 24 per ton, the cost of mining being $1 19 per ton. At the Oneida mine, Amador County, the new shaft has reached a depth of 2000 feet, where a station has been cut and drifting on the rich ore body begun. Six hundred feet of water has been pumped from the old shaft, which is being unwatered. An El Dorado County exchange says: “From the monthly clean-up made at the Union mine yesterday 200 pounds of gold | at a value of $40,000 were secured. The expenses of running this mine are from | $3000 to $4000 a month, so the net profit is considerable. The value of the ore from | this mine averages from $200 to $700 per ton. Tieere is any quantity of ore valued | at 314 per ton, but no attention is being paid to that now."” { The mining regions of the State will| send a good many mining men to try! their luck at Cape Nome this spring. | The company which has been nperaunf two big gold dredgers on the banks o the American River, above Folsom, will remove them to the Mokelumne River, hear Clements, in _Calaveras County, where lari tracts of placer ground have been bought. | The eighty stamps at the Gwin mine are | 10,000 tons of ore per month. cEpabiE J.
