I - i Prospectors an drainers "In "all parts of the state are alarmed over the ruling made inWashing- fori with regard to patenting new mining claims. So pronounced have been the new rulings that they have reversed all former rulings made by the government. "Not 'TOdy-fri- hr mining' Industry ' of Utah dealt a disastrous blow, but all' western states will suffer and the development of new localities and new mining districts v ill be completely paralyzed According to the past system of operating claims annual assess-- ment work has been done from year to year and after a legal amount of improvements have been placed on the property to the satisfaction of.the government authorities a miner has been able to patent his ground without contest. The new rulings, however, expressly state that the old practice is no longer available and that .in the future the existence of val- mbleoredeposits must be m ore clearly demonstrated t The following language of a recent ruling at Washington in the eaye of the East Tintic Consoli- dated Mining company (40 Land Decisions, page 271) is illustrative i r -- f- ? ' this: It is evident from the record fore the department that the " partmeiYraF tFe" national eapltbl might as well demand of the home sTeader that they must demonstrate by actual crops that the agricultural land they seek to patent can produce crops. It should not be sufficient that it is agricultural land, and that soil is POST mattcr-- of general atteuiionof the public iu the' ease receiveseed -- and of the Ibex Gold Mining company, to knowledge produce the finished crop, but the should be overflowing with grain and hay to prove to the satisfaction of Washington that the applicant for patentreallydesirs the ownership of soil, not of laud composed of polished stone. . One of the greatest safeguards to the man Who expends his labor and money on a mining property is the patent granted him by the government, It - guarantees to him the fruits undisturbed 'of his toil" and timer" To'removethe right of patent will discourage the expansion of the mining industry the disposition to seek a remedy js becoming so manifest that some active step undoubtedly will be taken without delay. This important matter has been brought again most forcibly to the which has been prevented from patenting some claims in this state by the ncwruling.
