MINING LAWS OF AUSTRALIA
AND NEW ZEALAND
It has been estimated that there are
more than ,'1,500,000,000,000 short
tons of coal in the United States, ex
clusive of Alaska. An authoritative
statement of the coal supply of the
world shows that the United States
has coal reserves exceeding those of
any other continent and nearly double
those of Europe. The fact that we
are a favored nation in this respect,
however, does not imply that we
should not be oi\ the alert to dis
cover and put into operation the
best possible policy in regard to
our coal lands, and in determining
this policy a comparison with the
practices of other mining countries
is helpful. Geological Survey Bulle
tin 505, “Mining Laws of Australia
and New Zealand,” contains much
that is suggestive on the subject, and
although it is not an exhaustive
treatise, it is the best available col
lection of authoritative data bearing
on the practical working of mineral
land laws essentially different from
those of the United States The
bulletin not only gives in consider
able detail the special provisions,
terms and conditions of the differ
ent laws, as well as statistical infor
mation regarding the extent of min
ing, by practical Australian and New
Zeland mining men who are opperat
ing under these laws. On this ac
count it undoubtedly furnishes a
valuable means of comparing the
leashold and freehold systems in
their effect upon mining develop
ment.

INTERESTING FACTS
ABOUT MACHINE GUNS
(From Prince Rupert Daily News)
Against machine guns the rifle
man is helpless, a military expert
remarked recently; and he was right.
Actual tests of machine guns have
| shown them to be superior to pick
I ctl marksmen. In a test in this
country some time ago, forty-two
first- class shots were pitted against
one Maxim, each side firing one
minute at a target representing infan
trymcA in line, at a distance which
was unknown, but which was actual
ly 1,000 yards. These were the re
sults: forty-two men, 408 rounds, 02
hits; machine gun 228 rounds, GO
hits; although the Maxim spent some
time in getting the range.
Machine guns are really rifles with
a mechanical feed, which supplies
them rapidly with cartridges. In all
modem patterns they are automatic
in action. The gas they produce by
the explosion or shock of the recoil
opens the breech,ejects the spent
cartridge, loads the rifle, closes the
breech, and fires the charge. These
complicated operations are carried
out with extraordinary speed.
To give an example. The Maxim
can fire at least 450 rounds a min
ute, or more than seven shots per
second, and if in exceptionally good
order and cleverly operated can dis
charge 600 rounds in a minute.
In the British army at the be
ginning of the war the number of
machine guns was two to each
battalion or cavalry regiment. In
the German army there was an ex
traordinary development of the ma
chine gun sections shortly before the
war. Indeed, the enemy is stated
to have taken the field with 50,000
of these weapons, so that each Ger
man battalion must have had ten
if not more, which gave them an
enormous advantage above the Allies
at the outset.
