feet from the end line of the prop

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.
Tho Cracker Summit shows a
brilliant development rocord for tho

THREE FEET OF
HIGH GRADE ORE.

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. The ore appears practically
the same in character as that found
in the Bannock burn shoot above,
which showed an average across the
face of about 925. This makes the
third rich shoot which has been
encountered la the , Glasgow drift.

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

ORE SUPPLY INCREASING.
The oro supply at tho smotlor Is
raplly increasing. Three cars camel

horns and another from Ilainea.
While no time has been set for
blowing in, the general Impression
obtains that the plant' will start
operations in a short timo.

Prior Location Hold Cross Veins.
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.

in the intersection of the veins bo-
lougs to the senior locator, and the
junior has right of way through the
