Mines Ard Misinc The American Smoking and ESeting Company
The American Smoking and ESeting Company last week purchased the San nyeide mine in the San Joan district, Colorado. The deal was codemmsied for the company by Simon Guggenbeig and the consideration named is 1,000,000. The U S General Land Once an nounces that there is no authority of law for changing the courses of patented claims in making survey for patent of ad jacent grounds, and that the lines of the subsequent survey must be made to con form to those of the already patented claim, which must be recognized as cov ering the ground for which patent has ii ewed. It is stated that if errors exist tn mineral patents the only relief is to eur render the erroneous patent and to have made a correct survey, describing the ground intended to be covered. Western Mining World: A great deal of interest is being taken in the subject of the possible use of petroleum as a fuel for ore reduction in blast furnaces, and that interest will probably be sus tained until the problem is solved. There are occasional reports of the solution of the difficulty, but no actual use of liquid fuel in a blast furnace has yet been suc cessfully made. The high cost of coke throughout the Pacific Coast region and the development of enormous supp lies of petroleum in California and Texan have stimulated the inventive genius of many people to efforts to solve the pro blem. The benefit to the mining indus try would be incalculable.
