FINAL APP4,OrATION ON MINERAL
LANDS ISHOUO.D BE MADE IN
EARLY SPRING.
M uch of the delay in the examina
tion of miperal claims by the forest
service qCan be avoided it the applicant
(ifr a patent will see to it that the
,first publication required by the
statutes in the patent proceedings, is
,made in the early spring, or at any
time in the summer season not later
than August 15. A great many min
'ers file their applications for patent
in the months of October and Novem
'ber, just after doing their assessment
(work and about the close of the field
'season. Since the open season in the
hills closes on or about November 1,
'the result is that mineral claims em
lbraced.in such applications cannot be
(examined as a rule by the forest serv
lice before May or June of the follow
ing year. It has been learned that
there is an average delay of six
,months .in this character of cases
which is unavoidable on account of
'climatic' conditions.
f Everybody living in the northwest
(realizes that the season for doing sat
isfactory mineral work is short, and
none understand this more fully than
Ithe miher, who makes his living dig
:ging out of the earth commercial ore.
It ought to be the policy of every
miner to apply to the surveyor gen
leral for a survey of his claim during
tthe winter months. If he does this,
Ithe survey will be made and approved
'as a general thing, in the early part
'of the' open season immediately fol
lowing., Then, if application for
'patent is promptly filed in the local
-land office, there is little doubt but
(the entire patent proceedings, includ-[1
ing the examination of the claim by,:
'the forest service, will be terminated
(during one season, and the final cer
tificate obtained within the calendar
year.
I On the other hand, an application
:for patent filed with the register and
'receiver of the local land office toward
"the close of any field season means
Iconsiderable delay in the patent pro
ceedings, since as a rule inclement
weather prevents the examination of
the claim involved, and as a natural
'consequence the final receipt is with
(held, the miner is somewhat incon
venienced and perhaps compelled to
ido further assessment work in order
to protect his claim.
An investigation of the records
shows that the average period of delay
ibetween the date of survey of a min
(eral claim and the date when prints
of the approved plat of survey are re
turned from Washington, D. C., is a
!little ovrr three, mpnths. It is noted,
'also, from the records, that the aver
age leingth of time between the date
of survey and the first publication of
Ithe patent notice in the local news
rpaper, is apprdximately eight months.
'From this it can be readily seen that
the miners themselves are responsible
the miners themselves are responsible
Ifor at least five months of the delay,
although they may be entirely uncon
?scious of this fact. The miner, of
'course, cannot be compelled to apply
'for patent on any particular date, or
during any specified period, since he
has a right under all circumstances to
regulate this matter as he desires. It
'seems, however, that much of the de
,lay can be eliminated, if he will try
a little harder to prevent the things
(which hinder progress in patent pro
ceedings.
There are, of course, exceptional
'cases where the delay is even greater
than that pointed out above. How
lever, in such instances, errors in the
(survey and failure on the part of the
miner to present to the land office a
'complete abstract of title for the claim
embraced in the patent proceedings
have been responsible in a great many
c`ases for the postponement of action
An the case by the government officers.
Departmental regulation requires
that a mining claim must he exam
ined before patent is issued. Since
'this is the practice, it seems as if it
might be to the miner's advantage
financially to co-operate with the ad
ministrative officials on the ground,
'because it insures the expeditious
handling of government business, and,
in addition, the early delivery of the
patent to the owner of the mine.
JOINT INSTALLATION.
There will he a joint installation of
officers by the Eons and Daughters

Butte union, has been asked to join
with labor unions throughout the
country in a fight to wipe out the

DAUGHTERS OF HERMANN
ENTERTAIN BIG CROWD
tine of the affairs that added much
to Missoula's general New Years
celebration last ulght was the annual
ball given by the Daughters of tier
mann at the Elite hall. Each year
this is a happy function, and, if any
thing, the hall last night was a little
more enjoyable than any of the
previous ones. It is certain that the
crowd was as large as the hall coull
accommodate and that nothing w\vas
overlooked to add to the pleasure of
each one present. The Missoula club
orchestra furnished the music and
played a program of 16 dances, with
extras thrown in every little while.
The following ladies made up the
committee which is responsible for the
success of the hall: Mesdames
Greenfield, Heckler, geherk, K. M.
Walterskirchen, Bishop and Miss
Anna Schatts.
PICTURESQUE IN BALTIMORE.
Baltimore, Dec. 31.-The celebration
around the commulnity tree was
brought to a brilliant close tonight in
the presence of a great throng of
merrymakers. Just before midnight
a ,band played "Lead, Kindly Light."
and after the singing of the hymn by
the crowd there was an extra illumi
nation of the tree. "Taps" for the
dying year were sounded by huglers'
at midnight and the crowd sang "The
Star Spangled Banner."

real worth. The afternoon perform

today for Uncle Charlie ltarnois, vis
iting Missoula from his new home in
Califorrfia, has invited all of the news
boys of the city to be his guests at

the Empress orchestra has arranged a
splendid musical program for the day
and Missoula's House of Comfort will
be a good place to spend an hour or
two the first1 day( of the new year.
"Eileen of Erin," the feature num
her, is a powerful play with a double
purpose, showing the penalty of
transgresslion and the reward of real
repentapce. An innocen t girl who
leaves her happy home in a pique,
drinks the dregs of bitterness, but is
redeemed by the saving of another.
This play shows vivid traces of the
scarlet, likewise the benignity of. the
higher po)oer that saves the world

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness. Is the result, and unless the In
flammatlon can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of 10 are caused by catarrh,
which in nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.

GREAI IS HUNB
TO ANNOUNCE
1914
HUNDREDS OF MIS.SOULA CITI
ZENS ARE VERY MUCH AWAKE
TO WELCOME NEW YEAR.
It began with sharp, staccato pop
pings from small firearms. Then a
church bell clamored, and quickly a
dozen more joined in the chorus.
Whistles from a score of railroad en
gines and the shops and mills broke
into the game simultaneously with
tones tWat r-angeo Wi u
to upper register screeches. Street
cars and automobiles exhausted their
supply of air in their attempt to make
a dent into the big volume of noise
that suddenly engulfed the city, and
all continued as though straining every
nerve from the first stroke of midnight
until the New Year was 10 minutes on
its way.
From the standpoint of pure noise,
this is how 1914 was ushered in at the
Garden city. There were many people
on tlhe streets when the first bell tolled,
and witWn a few seconds hundreds
mlore had rushed outside to hear the
din and to exchange the first greetings
of the new year. Joy was unconfined
and at its highest height at the several
public parties when the whistles pro
claimed the hour had come for the leaf
in the big book to turn. For the mo
ment gaity was suspended to listen
perhaps to drink a toast-and then re
sumed again with increased vigor.
At the several lMissoula churches
where watchnight meetings were in
session, the bells and whistles served
as the signals for an outburst of song
and praise and for tihe fervent prayer
that the New Year will advance the
cause of righteousness throughout the
world. The audiences at these
churches gatherings were especially
large last evening. Snme splendid pro
grams were rendered and the throngs
which came from these places of wor
ship shortly after' midnight were truly
halmppy and joyful.
The advtent of the new year was more
generally observed il Missoula last
night than it has been for a number of
seasons. The occasion seemed to fan
into a rich, warm flame the dying em
bers of the Christmas spirit which so
thoroughly permeated Missoula's at
tmosphere this year. In addition to the
watchnight gatherings at the churches
there were several putblic entertain-'
ments of a. somewhat different nalture,
where hundreds fease'd and danced
;mntd made merry. The most proton
tliolns of those entertainments was th('
tlaffair ait the Elks' temple for temlbel'rs
and their families. At the Palace din
ing room a carabet entertainment was
furnished the diners until an early
hour this morning, and at the Elite hall
the Daughters of Hermann entertained
I their friends at an annual ball. In an
unusual number of city homes family
parties were still in progress as the old
year died. All in all the night was
happily spent by hundreds of the city's
people, and, which is best, the big Ima
Jority of them can look back upon the
occasion today and have no regrets.
There will probably be sotme excep
tions, of course, but these will be fewer
than is comrmnon on the "morning
after."
BAPTISTS ENCOURAGED
AS RESULT OF SERVICE
The large atotenance and the inter
est manifested at the "watch" service
last night at the Immanuel Baptist
church were extremity encouraging to
the pastor, Dr. ('. It. Allen, as well as
to all the memtlters and tIho.ls inter
ested in the progress of the church.
Each of the several services, heginnitg
with the one in charge of the ladies
and ending with a devotional session
led by the pastor, was largely attend
ed. The gathering was at s o'clock
and for the first hour the ladles, led
by Mrs. C. It. ,lekicher, were in
charge. This tinme was dev\'ted to
statements of new resolves and Ia re
consecratlion to the service of the
church.
The young people had charge of the
service from 9 until 10 o'clock and
this period was made interesting by a
literary program. Mliss Bernice Bauer
gave a New Year reading that. was
much enjoyed. "The Place of the
Young Man ill the Church," was the
theme oft a very helpful talk by Mr.
Hazelrlggs. He said that there is a.

The church family theut spent a so
cial hour, enjoying splendid refresh
ments servetd by the lad ies.
The retrospetittve, prospective and
consecration hour, which lasted until
midnight, was in charge of Dr Allen.
The church stork for the past year
was reviewed by the niemhters anridi

year to come, all joining in the great
hope that this New Year will ,be the
best in the history of tlhe church.
