Greater Liberality Asked of the Land Department. ‘MINING STATES — INVITED. — Bi Hy A Law Prepared — to "'Supplant the Stewart Bill and Overcome Its Main Objections. At the convention of the State Miners’ Association held in .San Francisco last " month a committee was appointed to frame a bill amendatory to certain sections of the Revised Statutes of the United States relative to-mining interests. This bill was to be framed in consonance with certain reselutions adopted by the conventien. The main lines of the bill were clearly laid down by the convention. On the one hand the basis of this action was largely the opposition ef the miners of California, speaking through the convention,. to a bill which has at several sessions of Congress been presented and urged by Senator Stew-. art of Nevada without success. On the other hand, ‘the miners of the State object to the steady trend of the rulment whenever there isa controversy as to the mineral or the agricultural quality of land desired te be located by a claimant. Certain lands set aside in a recognized mineral belt, according to the ruling of the Land Department, are assumed net te be mineral until it is preven that the land contains mineral in paying quantities. The burden of proof rests with the miner. The convention adopted a series cf resodefects of the Stewart‘ bill, and suggested a ‘new section to the Federal laws providing that the Land Department should construe the laws relative to acquiring title to mineral lands with great liberality to the end that no unreasonable barriers be placed in4 the way of miners who desired to obtain possession of and title to mineral claims. The Comittee that has just finished the tor Tirey L. Ford of: Sierra county, Judge Edward A. Belcher, since appointed to the' Superior Court bench, and Charles G. Yale, for many years editor of the i: and Seientific Press. The biil is'the embodiment ef the sentiment of the miners ef California upon the questions involved, and on that account will enter’ Congiess with much prestige. Of course, it will secure the united support of the California dele gation in Congress, inasmuch as it does not touch upon any of those interests over which there is a conflict betwéea minérs and farmers. Following is the full text of the bill; : -“An act to amend chapter VI of title 32 of the Revised Statutes relating to mineral lands and mining resources, Be it énacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, im Cougress assembled.’ That section 2324 of the Revised Statutes be amended so'as to read : ‘Section 2324.

And upen a failure to comply with the conditions of this act in the performing of labor or making of improvements, the claim or mine upon whieh such failure occurred shall be open to relocation the same as if no location of the same had ever been made; provided, State Association’s such relocation, and continue the same wity and legal representatives de not-resume work upon the claim after such failure and before reasonable diligence until the required amount of labor shall have been performed or improvements madé. _Upon the failure of any one of several co-owners to contribute his proportion of the expenditures required hereby, the co-owners who have performed the labors or made the improvements may, at the expiration of the year, give such delinquent co-owner personal notice in writing or notice by publication in the newspaper published nearest the claim, for at least once a week for ninety days, and at the expiration of ninety days after such notice in writing, or by publication, such delinquent shall fail or refuse to contribute his proportion of the expenditure required by this section, his interest in the claim shall become the property of his co-owners who have made the required expenditures. A copy of such notice, together with an affidavit showing personal service or publication,. as the case may be, of such notice, when filed and recorded with the Recorder of Deeds of the county in which such mining claim is situated, shall be evidence of the acquisition of title of such co-owners. Where a person or company has or may run.a tunnel for the purpose of developing a claim or claims ewned by said person or company, the money so expended in running aid tunnel shall be taken and considered as X= pended on said claim‘or claims.

In cases of contest as to the mineral er agricultural character of the land, the testimony ‘and proofs may be taken as herein provided on personal notice of at least ten days to the epposing party, or if such party cannot be found, then by publication of at least once a week for thirty days in a newspaper to be designated by the Register of the land office as.published nearest the location of such land, and the Register shall require proof that such notice has been given; provided, that the presence of reck in place bearing gold, silver, cinnabar, petreleum or other valuable minera} shall be regarded as presumptive evidence that the land containing the same is, and always has been, mineral in character; and provided further, that in investigating the character of land with a view to ascertaining whether it is more valuable for mineral than agriculture, evidence may be taken of the mineral discovered er developed adjacent to such land, proof of which shall be presumptive’ evidence that the land in question is, and always has been, mineral in character; and provided further, that whatever land is proven to be within a well defined mineral belt such land shall be deemed, presumed and taken to be, and always to have been mineral land, unless the contrary is proven and provided further, that the provisions ef this chapter shall be liberally construed with a view to aid the applicant in procuring title to the mineral lands of the United States, and the rules and regulations prescribed by the Land Department for its government and that of its officers, in dispesing of said lands, shall be so fermulated and administered as to assist the Gevernment in disposing of said lands to bona fide applicants, and not so as to impede the sale thereof er impose onerous burdens upon applicants. Sec, 5. That section 2337 of the Revised Statutes be amended so as to read : “Sec. 2337.

The owner of a quartz mill or reduction works, not owning a mine in connection therewith, may also receive a patent for his millsite as provided in this section.” ° The committee states that while the fore~ going is believed to embody all the changes recommended by the association and mest urgently desired by mineral claimants the time is rapidly approaching when an entire revision « the Federal mining cede will be desirable.’ It suggests that, when conven~ ient, the Miners’ Association take steps in that direction.
