pretext of zeal for the rights of the government it is pretended that the settler of the rocky mou mountains stains and valleys cannot use a stick of timber oft off tha government lands without exposing himself to the liability of a fine if this is so there is not a miner in the mountains nor a farmer in the valleys nor a house bouse builder in town or city but is guilty it is but a short time since every farm was fenced every city built every mine cribbed crabbed crib bed and every kitchen fire supplied with wood taken from government lands and it is very much st so yet in allowing the mines to be claimed and worked under united states laws there is a tacit consent that wood may be used and yet wood choppers and wood haulers working to supply gold mills with fuel have been prosecuted for doing that which is absolutely indispensable sable sabie to the production of bullion an industry which it is pretended the united states desires to encourage it Is vain to pretend that
