ill III PUIEER GUUM NOT COVERED 8V PATEIIT GROUND PATENT TO PLACER DOES-NOT INCLUDE VEIN KNOWN TO EXIST. I | , , . , partment yesterday by Attorney John | A. Shelton, in the case involving the W. E. .lode mining claim, lying in the southeastern part of the Butte dis A decision of more than ordinary interest to miniq£ men of the Butte district in particular, and also applic able to any other mining district where similar issues are involved, was received from the interior de trict, In a valuable section of the cop per area. * The Reno"Copper and Silver Mining company obtained a Judgment by de fault in the United States district court ln which it was held that the \ eln on which the W. E. lode claim was located was one that was known to exist at the time the application was made for the patent of the Emery placer claim in 1881. Notwithstanding the fact that pat ent had been issuel for the Emerv placer, and the fact also that the min eral location contesting the placer right to the lode claim, was not made until 1908-9, it is held that the placer patent excepted from its provisions any rights as to the lodes known to exist within the ground claimed as placer. The secretary of the Interior 01 dered the issuance of pate'it to the lode claimants for that part of the lode within the area covered by the placer patent. Reverse Local Land Office. The Reno iCopper and Silver Mining company, relying upon tbe default Judgment entered in the United States dourt, made application for a patent on the lode claim previously patented as placer, the contention be ing .based on the fact that the default was a practical admission of the iwior knpwledge of the existence of the lode at the time the placer application was made.' The register of the land office in Helena held that the judgment \va« not conclusive as to that point, and asked for additional proof, and order ed that if such was not furnished, that the entry of the lode claim application for patent should he cancelled. Attorney Shelton for the Reno com pany appeared before the secretary of the interior and orally argued the ap peal last January, the decision being received in Butte yesterday. The decslon reverses the ruling of the register and sustains the applica tion for the lode patent, the prior judgment obtained by default in the United States court being held as con clusive admission by the defendants that the knowledge existed of the ex istence of the lode vein within the ground at the time of the placer ap plication. Decision Important. The Importance of the decision rests In the fact that the interior depart permit the patenting of ment will lode claims within the area of placer patents, already Issued, if proof is fur nished of the knowledge of the exist ence of lode veins on the ground^ pri or to the date of the application for 'placer patenf. It being held that placer patent will except from its grant any lode veins so known and proved. The ground covered by the decision of the Reno company contest, small, covers a very valuable portion of the copper territory of the camp, lying In part across the Belmont group of the Anaconda company, and is known to be within the productive while copper area. ORE SORTING. Desirability of Practice Depend* Upon Local Condition*. According to a report on mining dis trict# of Idaho recently issued by the bureau of mines, hand sorting Is prac ticed to a more or less extent at many of the mines and mills. Where hand sorting Is employed and the mill is distance from the mine, the sort some Jng is usually done at the mine, though at a few places the ore Is sort ed at the mine and also at the mill. At some of the mills, when the ore Is rather egarsely mineral and waste rook are sorted. The quantity of shipping ore thus sorted out which is known as "crude ore" or "high grade," varies from a few per cent to as high as 60 per cent of the total tonnage of concentrates shipped, the Engineering and al disseminated, both _ . Th? usual meth0d f " f pr0< ^ Ure „ ir ' hand sorting is as follows: The ovfer * size passes from the grizzly onto a wide conveyor belt, where the ore Is washed with a spray of water, so that the sorters cam distinguish the min eral from the waste rock, more read ily. Men stationed on each side of the belt sort flroirl the washed mineral or the Mining . says conveyor material either the waste rock and drop It Into shoots leading to the respective bins. A paper on hand sorting of mill feed presented by R. S: Handy, mill was superintendent of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan company, Kellogg, Idaho, tfie meeting of the Columbia section of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, held at Kel logg on November 1^7, 1917. This pa most Interesting and Instruc , and that It Is cheaper, # ln fact, to treat the mill feed direct, without at per was live, as was the discussion that fol lowed. Mr. Handy claimed that hand sorting of the mill feed Is not neces sary, previous hand sorting to be no question "ho has made careful There seems Mr. Haudy. that study of* the treatment of the Bunker Hill ore, •Correct In assuming that for this par ticular ore and under the conditions ther, under different conditions, hand sitting is essential or not should be ! .(determined for each Individual ore. in the mill It is best to treat the mill feed direct without hand sorting. Whe MUCKIE M'DONALD. Forever Barred From Becoming Citi zen of United States. "Muckle" McDonald, labor agitator. I former convict, kidnaper and draft | evader, was forever debarred from be Icoming a citizen in an order handed flown recently by Judge Lamb, after \ | natllralllatlon examiner R. E. Thomas 1lad presente d McDonald's war record t „ the t . oprt and polntPd out the falw Answers ln hls questionnaire, says the Amtuonda Standard. A document signed by Louis F. Post. assistant secretary of labor, based on information furnished to tlie govern nient naturalization othce in Seattle j was presented, showing that McDon- 1 aid appeared before tlie draft board of Seattle and cl^tued exemption from military service on the grounds that he was an alien. At that time Mc Donald-stated he would answer a draft if Ireland ever Issued one, but he would not willingly don the fighting garb furnished by Uncle Sam. It was also shown that first papers had been taken out in Riute and Seattle, and in asking that tlie petition for natur alization be rejected McDonald's an swers were used. * Tracing his record backward, Mr. Thomas showed that McDonald would not serve his country, had spent six 'months in an Idaho jail, and one and one-half years in the Deer Lodge pen itentiary, after being convicted in a Boulder court on a kidnaping charge. The Butte labor trouble of 1914 and the part McDonald played in it was presented to the court. From the day he left Ireland in January, 1886, until he appeared in court this morning the salient facts in tils history were laid bare. Mr. Thomas added that McDon ald was an out and out I. W. W. and a trouble maker. An order prepared by the naturali zation bureau at Washington, D.
