trates the danger to which I called
attention.
"Keswick, April 19 The miners
and prospectors of Shasta county
on both sides of the Sacramento
river are much concerned over the
announcement that the railroad
company has advertised its inten
tion to apply for patents on odd
numbered sections ol its grant iu
this county. Sixtv days' notice is
given, during which time miners
must file their protests, establishing
ceedihgs to get a title thereto, the
federal mining law was enacted.
It provides no means for the pro
tection of the miner who sleeps
upon his rights. It expects him to
patent, lies iu the fact that all
feel as much concern touching the
ti.le to his mine as he does respect
ing the title of his other property.
In 110 other certain way than by his
application for a t alent is the gen
eral government put upon notice
that the miner has a location upon
the public domain. In no other
way than by and through his
patent application can .he general
government provide, specifically,
for the protection of the owner of
the location. 1 lie surveyor may
possibly, return that a mine exists
in a certain place, but, unless an
application for patent is made,
there is nothing of recoad to show
that the mine has not been worked
out- or abandoned , or that the
officers of the government ate not
at liberty to dispose of the ground
to the first comer. I repeat, the
government has no specific infor-

Hundreds of miners uow find
that they must act at once in order
to save their rights. This means a
grcot deol of trouble and no little
expense. Ulaims tuai nave oeeu
mined since the earliest days and
which have never been patented are
involved with the iet.t. In order
to file a legal protest they must
establish the corneas to each claim,
which necessitates the employment
of u registeted surveyor, the plott
ing of the claim, and the further
employment of an attorney to draw
up th-' legal documents necessary
in establishing the rights to the
claims.
In order to minimize the expensev
the miners iu the several districts
are combining and making'a united
protest covering all the claims in
the districts. A great hardship, in
cident to the railroad receiving its
location until a patent proceeding
has been instituted. Therefore, if
a miner neglects to institute patent
proceedings and loses his rajue, his
loss isattributal not to the govern
ment, but to his own negligence,
The government helps them who
As I said in former commuiiica'
tious, a patent proceeding is not ex
pensive, and if a mine is or seems
likely to become worth anything, it
is worth patenting. I advise all of
m clients to get patents for their
mines, and at this time I have sev
eral patent proceedings under way
for clients in this state and outside
of it. It is not safe for the miner
to rely upon his mere location.

The above article, taken from
the Engineering Review, published
at San Francisco, should be read
carefully by every property holder
in Bohemia. The sooner a man
pockets tile deed to his mining
property the better. It lessens his
chances to become involved in liti
gation. It increases his oppor
tunities to dispose of his property
on short notice. It removes the
greatest drawback in the matter of
interesting outside capital. How
often do we hear the expression:
"We do not wish to buy a law
suit." Bohemia, iu years to come
if miners fail to take advantage of
the opportunity to patent their
ground, will be a network of lawsuits.
