Gambs, superintendent of the Cracker Summit, states that he has struck 923.50 ore in the bottom of the shaft which was started a short time ago at the blowout 400 feet from the end line of the prop erty. Mr. Gambs is in the city today showing some symptoms of catching the phonolito contagion and Joining the Mount Rastus stampede, but he has not fully mado up his mind yet whether ho is an immune or not.

THREE FEET OF HIGH GRADE ORE. Frank Sheltou, seorotary of tho Neil J. Soreuson company wbilo in Daker Saturday had somo very favorable information from tho Hlgbalnd, and secured eqmo' good looking Bamples from the Glasgow drift. ' The shoot shows six feet in the' face with three foot of the high grade stuff.

This makes the third rich shoot which has been encountered la the , Glasgow drift. his own claims Nor can a tunnel Rights of a Tunnel Site Locator. The junior tunnel site locator baa no right to penetrate by means of a crosscut tunnel the claims of a senior locator for any purpoes whatever. In other words, tunnel eite owner can not drive his crossout tunnel through a claim previously located to leach which lie boyoud. be started on ground owued or claimed by auother without bis con sent, and the property can not be condemned for such purpose. Mining is not generally recognized as a public utility, except iu some of the older eastern states, as New York, where all mineral is owued by the state. The question of right of way over or through the property of others for mining purposes is de termined to a great extent by the special legislation of the several states. The rights of a senior locator, however, can not be cut off by a junior. Mining aud Scientific Press. ORE SUPPLY INCREASING. The oro supply at tho smotlor Is raplly increasing.

While no time has been set for blowing in, the general Impression obtains that the plant' will start operations in a short timo. ALAMO SHARES IN PHONOUTE EXCITEMENT C. A.

In a case where veins cross, each owned by separate locators, the senior locator takes not only the vein upon which he has made bis location, but also all other lodea or veins found within his surface boundaries, in cluding the cross lode subsequently located by another. A junior cross- lode locator has no right to any ore found upon the cross vein within the boundaries of a seuior claim. The owner of a junior tunnel site cannot by means of a crosscut tunnel pene trate within the bounding planes of a senior location for any purpose. Where two lodes cross In dip, the ore in the intersection of the veins bo- lougs to the senior locator, and the junior has right of way through the vein to the continuation of his own vein beyond, Mining and Scientific Press.
