SURFACE DISCOVERY
WASHINGTON, March. 30. (/Pi—
Both Senat.o-s Oddie and Pit,t,mao
of Nevada expres'ed their disap
proval of the Douglas mining lo
cation bill before the senate com
mittee- on public lands unless it is
importantly amended. The bill was
passed by the house at the recent
se'sion and would permit mining
locations to be entered and pat
ented without a surface discovery
being made.
“I am opposed to the bill as it is
written,” Oddie declared, “and will
resist its passage. Furthermore, I
will onnose any change in the pat
ent legislation relating to miner'1
locations until I absohiteTv
that the change will be satisfac
tory.
There is serious danger that
this hill will not only injure the
small prospector, but will permit
''he location of large areas of land
without the discovery being made
end allow the locations of such
areas to hold them until the en
terprise of others makes them
valuable.”
After listening to Oddie’s state
ment the committee took the bill
tinder advisement and reported
that it would take no action at
this time.
The bill was offered by Repre
sentative Douglas of Arizona and
received the support of Represen
tative Arentz of Nevada.
It a uthorizes the secretary of the !
interior to issue patents to mining j
claims on satisfactory evidence of |
hteir mineral character without a i
surface discovery being made at
she time of their location.
In supporting the bill Douglas
*nd A) entz declared that it would
encourage the location of ground,
now considered barren by persons
Killing to explore by drilling and
by de^p-sliafts, and that it wouid
not injure prospecting.
Under the Arentz amendment

attached to it^by the house jus
before its passage, the bill re
quires that locators taking advan
jtage of its provisions must comp);
[in every particular with the pres
lent requirements as to locatioj
work, annual assessment work
and filing of location notices. Tin
amendment, it was declared
would fully protect the small pro
"pector and would encourage tin
mining industry by stimulating thi
exploration of large areas of lane
now considered barren.
The latter object is the mair
purpose of the bill it was explain
ed.
ben?tor Pittman suggested that
j he bill be amended to give loca
tors under the act exclusive pos
session for prospecting to prove
|d’ coverv, and that it required the
Commencement of prospecting
! within three to six months, such
iprospecting to continue until dis
covery is made or the claim is
[abandoned. He also suggested that
jt.ot 'esc than $200 worth of work
| be performed annually upon the
claims located without a surface
[di'covery being made, with a pro
vision that where a group of
claims were so located the work
I’.ould be performed upon one
claim.
PiUman said the bill, as passed
by the house, would permit blan
ket- locations being made about
existing, mines and important dis- j
coveries
