accidental or Intentional, often lead to
most disastrous results. ] can not too
strongly insist upon the desirableness, not
to say necessity, OF government regulation
OF all these preliminaries.
The Government should instruct its Of
ficers to make maps Of all locations, and
they should b. forbidden, under penalty of
the peniten tiary, from allowing the record
OF a second or subsequent location upon
ground already located until one year and
one day should have passed from the time
OF the original location. Provision should
also be made for recording aud determin-
ing the amount Of work to be done yearly
viz, 500. and a failure to do or record
such work should leave the ground open to
relocation without the possibility OF an APP
peal.
/ would suggest also the amending of
Section 1920 by the elimination Of the
words 'but no location Of a mining claim
shall be made until the discovery OF the
vein or lode within the limits of the claim
located" These lines have caused, and
are now causing, widespread confusion
and dissatisfaction
In the absence OF a definition as to what
shall be denominated q vein or lode, an
opportunity is offered to recorders to favor
their own friends, to refuse a record of
claims of persons to whom they are I'M
friendly, or when in doubt themselves. not
being s'judicial officers" to record claim
ON top Of claim. for fear that perhaps a
former record might not have been in
valid. 1t is more than suspected that just
such abuses do now exist in one Of our
most active mining districts in California.
/ would simplify the whole matter by
allowing any prospector to take up and To-

and permit him to be the Judge as to its
value. and not the recorder. If he should
choose to locate and record a stretch Of
barren sand, let him do so, and let him
enjoy it undisturbed.
The word lode, or ledge. seems to be as
incomprehensible as Sanskrit to the great
majority of miners. Some would make it
broad and all-embracing, while Others
would limit it to the ore-shoot itself. In
fact, scarcely two miners define it alike;
and it may cost nearly a quarter
of a million dollars to find out
its meaning, as happened last year to
two of our most prominent base-metal
mines in the State of Nevada. The Gov
eminent will save itself and It's citizens
not only much care and annoyance. but
very many hard-earned dollars, by allow
ing the would-be miner to determine for
himself whether he has a lead. lode or
ledge" or not. The present statute does
not describe how or when a locator may
that his claim be recorded. 1t
affixes no penalty for a refusal, and leaves
him exposed to the ill-will or neglect of
the local recorder. If his claim be not
recorded, he cannot enforce il; he has no
standing in Court or before the Land
Office, and a subsequent arrival. favored
by the recorder, may take from him the
fruit Of his toll and enterprise. Such
abuses are not only possible, but actually
exist. This know of my own knowledge,
and it is a crying evil from which the action
of Congress alone can free us.

be remembered by those who are in the
habit Of selling their votes:

Renewing IIi- Youth,

A Paris banker, a selfMade man, who
had known the struggle of poverty in his
young days, had an old timcpiecc over hi7
bed when ho breathed his last "a few
weeks ago. When he was a boy he used
to say to himself "Whon YOU are rich
you will buy picture-clock, representing
a hamlet with its church and in the stce
pie a clock and at the foot of the win
age a railroad, with a train in fill mo-
ton and or one side the sea, with ships
sailing by" All these things were made
to work by machinery in the clock which
the rich banker bought The train whis-
tied and ran along the line and the
ships were tossed i'm the sea, and the kcv
which set them in motion was carried in
the old gentleman's pocket Tho cloch
had the place of honor in his drawing
ing room, surrounded by paintings which
cost their weight in gold, and there 10 re
NAMED for years. His wife and children
did not like it.. They laughed t &c. They
could not understand lbs within. They
did not know of all the old dreams which
that picture awakened i'm him His
friends laughed at him for letting it rc-
main in his drawing room. So he took
il into his OVID room. Whenever hc
wanted to renew his youth ne would wind
up the old clock, and then the stocpla
would chime, the sea roar, the ships toss
backwards and forwards, and Doe would
feel as happy as in the old days when ne

London Examiner
India has been for half "a century too
poor oven to bear the slight cost of de-
velOplng her own resources The grand
mistake we have made has been u ruling
her as if she were an FL Dorado of ro-
nance instead Of the famine stricken,
pauperized empire Of reality What
wealth there is exists i'm the hands of tho
few, Of whom the majority are foreign
ers. But public burdens and the cost of
government are wrung from the PENN
less pockets Of the poor, who, while they
can hardly keep body and soul together,
have been expected to pay for costly
improvements involving liabilities that
would tax the energies of the richest
States to make. Two millstones hang
around the neck Of the Indian Empire -
first, ever increasing debt; second, con
stantly recurring deficits. When tho
Company handed the country 10 the
Crown in 1888 the debt Of India was
$50, 500, 900. 1t is now E23I ,OOO, 900
In 1853 the charge for interest on debt
was 20, 800 900 II is now over Gill;
100000, and, allowing that railways and
canals clear of nOmnauy about E37OD,
900, we have still an annual debt charge
OF course it is said that this huge debt
has conferred benefits ON India in tho
shape Of public works OF the railway
we may safely say they were built ON ana
aNtravagant guage, which even rich
country like England could not have af-
forded, and that when they are not q
dead loss they pay about 3 per ecntum
Of the per centum dividend guaranteed
by the State. The very improvement
in their business is due to the famine
traffic. As to the irrigation works they
are a dead loss. IN Bengal alone che
loss on these schemes in lS15-lS76, was
E2O3, 700, and that, too, when only
| t4,O72, TAP was spent by way Of outlay.
Even Sir John Strachey dares not con
lecture what the loss will be whom tho
outlay reaches, as under the existing -y-
