Of the complex nature Of ore deposits, are
unanimous in the conviction that any 1t.
tempt on the part of the United States to
convey such deposits as individual things
beyond the vertical planes bounding the
surface claim must always end in history
of in,olerable ipjustice. The resuit Of our
test OF public opinion shows that while there
are regions where simple fissure veins have
not caused battles, and where, consequently,
the people ask no change, the majority Of
experienced mining men desire change
from the lode location with its disastrous
sequel back to the eecurity and peace Of the
solid old common law doctrine" In support
Of this assertion they refer to the fact that
there is little or no litigation concerning
government titles to mineral lands east
of the Missouri river where the: common
law rule is in force, whereas they remark,
"The dockets of the far western courts are
cunbered with an excessive number of suits
involving many million dollars Of value
In that region the investor of capital too
often buys only lawsuit, with possible
mine thrown in, and finds himself forced
to choose between an expensive legal de-
tense of his rights or robbery. That the
mineral industry advances and pro 'pers in
the face Of the statutes. is proof only of the
"Chitu VI tuo CUuutIV, oUu lUC UuOydul
energies of the people. The testimony
given by Judge Whi,eman. of Nevada. on
behalf of the Bonanza firm, is quoted to the
effect that the Interests of deep mining
would be promoted by the adoption of q
square location or common law system,
aud that mining men would be more will
ing TO invest in square location than 10
ledge locations. which almost invariably
lead to expensive contests and litigation,
The commission, in the course of their
general argument, use the following en-
phatic language: "The existing Law holde
out the conditions for obtaining pstent..
Having permitted an inception of title dan
gerously vitiated by the acts Of local agents
outride of the federal jurisdiction, having
permitted the robber and blackmailers t.
acquire cheap and secure fighting title,
the government then causes its unfortunate
victim to set himself up as target for at
tack, by an advertisement for patent, and,
when attacked, calmly turns its back and
permits him to be dragged into the local
courts. In short, the present law might be
fitly entitled 'An act to cause the govern.
ment to join upon unknown terms with an
unknown second party to convey TO third
party an ilusory title to an indefinite thing,
and TO encourage the subsequent robbery
thereof"

A Matrimonial Venture Spoiled.

A FEW weeks ago a New HAMPSHIRE man
who bad been a widower four or five years
concluded he would take another helpmate,
and, instead of making his selection from the
manageable girls of his own neighborhood,
he gave out that he was going down to Boston
to get him a wife. He left home for that pur-
pose, amid the jeers of his neighbors, who pre-
dicted all sorts of misfortunes that would be-
fall him. Arriving in this city, he made his
way to a well-known intelligence Office and
impaired the object of his mission to the
matron in attendance. After considerable
questioning to satisfy herself of the hon.
esty of the farmers intentions, she went
into the room where dozen or more
young women were waiting for situa-
tiOns. She stated to them that q man
was in the office who had come
to Boston to get him q wife. Were there any
present who were willing to marry an honest
New Hampshire farmer without any court
ship? He said he was willing to give her a
good fit-out of wedding clothes at once. One
young, plump-looking Irish girl said she'd like
to see the party. After few minutes con-
versation with the widower she consented to
marry him, and they left the office to buy
the wedding outfit. The farmer took into
his confidence one of the saleswomen, who
joyfully entered into the matter. After assist
ing them in their selection of the various nee
essary articles of q minor nature, they went
up to the dress department to buy the we'd
ding gown. The variety shown the young
girl quite bewildered her, but she finally
set her heart on a dress that exactly suited
her. Unfortunately, the price was SIS more
than the man was willing to pay. The girl
coaxed and pleaded with him; the saleswoman
used all her arguments to make the sale, but
the widower was inhexible. Thirty dollars
was an ALFRED lot of money to pay for a
gown" Finally the girl declared that nothing
else would satisfy her, and began to cry in real
earnest. Matters looked serious; several 9TH
er saleswomen took sides with the girl. and
pleaded for the coveted Dress but without
success. Then the girl got her spirit up, and
told him that he was a mean old fellow, and
she wouldn't marry him if he'd give her the
best dress in the store. and marched out
