Kendall, Montana, July 1, 1902. s . .1 ‘ 11 AMENDING THE MINING IN •r Senator Kearns Wants Claims to Be 1500 Feet Wide And Do Away With Extra -lateral Rights—Mining Men Favor the Measure—May Pass. One of the most important matters to the mining industry of Fergus county and the west is the proposed law now be- fore the United States Senate. The bill, which was introduced by Senator Kearns of Utah, proposes to abolish extra -lateral rights on all claims located after Jan. 1, twitt.r- Under the present law a mining claim is 600 feet wide and 1500 feet long, and claims must be taken 300 feet on each hide of the vein apex. As a rule mineral veins,do not extend vertically into the earth, but have a varying dip of inclination. AS a result of this many veins, when developed to a depth of sev- eral hundred feet, are found to pass out out from under the surface :tree or side line and into adjoining claims. The right to follow the vein on the dip, according to the present mining laws. has give rise to interminable and costly litigation. Senator Kearna' bill proposes to amend section 2322 of the revised statutes by adding the following proviso: \Provid- ed, that as to all claims tocated after Jan , uary 1, 1903, the locator or possessor thereof, whether the same be pat- ented or napatented, shall have the exclusive possession and ownership of all the imrface thereof, and all veins and lodes therein contained within . the sur- face lines thereof extendet vertically, except that claims located after January 1, 1903, shall not be deemed to be in de- rootion of any rights acquired previous to that date \ Since the introduction of the bill Sen- ator Kearnes has aided another amend- ment increasing the width of claims from 600 to 1500 feet. The amendment was deemed advisable in view of the fact that capital might be reluctant to make ex- tensive improvements on claims only 600 feet wide and having no extra -lateral rights. It is eapected that the bill will pass the Senate. If it ever become a law title to a Mini - fig eliiiiiiloCrileittater - the - new law takes effect will be on the same foot- ing ati title to a farm. The owner can mine and explore the ledge only within the surface lines of Iris claim. The pro- posed law is practically the same as that now in force in British Columbia and is generally regarded with favor by mining men. The committee which has the measure under consult ration has a num- ber of senators who possess a practical knowledge of mining, Imitating Sena- tors Clark, Kearns, Scott and Stewart. Three Thousand Angoras. A large consignment of Angora goats arrived in Helena a few days ago, says the • Independent. The goats were prirchatied by the Montana Angora Goat company in southern California, and the 3,000 in the shipment came through in fine shape. A great many have been sold, and will be shipped to various parts of the state early in the week. A large sale was also made to Colorado people. PENSION FOR CALAMITY JANE. That Is What a Buffalo Lady Is Asking from the Goverement. An effort is being made to secure a pension from the government for Calam- ity Jane, in recognition of her services in the pioneer days as a government scout. The stories of her destitution, which have been published from time to time during the past winter, have reached her friends in the East, and Mrs. Josephine Brake of Buffalo, tire newspaper woman who befriended Calamity a year or so ago and made a trip to Butte to look her up, has again taken an interest in tire remarkable woman and relic of the early days of the west. Mrs. Brake is now in Chicago and engaged in gathering evi- dence necessary to secure a pension. She thinks the government owes her that much, and Calamity will not accept charity. Fifty years of hardship and ex- posure have told on her and she is no longer able; physically, to take care of herself. She has rendered efficient ser- vice to her country RS a scout and Indian fighter, and ninny an old pioneer owes his life to her caretul nursing. \Talk about: - - \YOiir fine Christian women,\ once said an old stage driver vilio had his leg broken when his coach was upset coming down the long hill into Deadwood, \they are no more to be coin - pared to Calamity than a pair of threes to a royal flush. What one of them ever would have done for me what Calamity did? I tell you she is more than a woman; she is an angel w hen a fellow is hr trouble.\ • • \While the rest of the gulch was too panniiig gold and frghttnis Indians to pay any attention to the sick and die, abled, Calamity was always ready to drop her gold pan, her gun or her poker hand to minister to the sick and suffer- ing,\ said one of her old pioneer friends. \She has been known to take her coat off her back, tier shoes off her feet, to give to those whom she drought needed them more. An appeal fOr . -her to old soldiers and their friends should not be made in vain.\ Dr. M. E.
