N.Y.. George Alfred Townsend had an in

The President said he was firm in his inten-

"My strength has been in that resolution.
If have accomplished some things | desired
to do, it has been because l was firm with my
self on that point"
yet you are filter to be President now
than when you took this office. | think the
people feel that they are not sufficiently ac-
quainted with you, and regret that you are
going. The term is too Short
.Well," said the President, -four years
seem faster going than when you were young
er. The past three years to me seem very
long" He added after "a pause: "They are
the longest three years Of my life"
The President believed a term of six or sew
years would be a good thing.
"The best argument in favor of that length
ening of the term is, that there is no one Con-
@reSs only with the Presidential term. He
comes into Office and there is a new Congress
which barely gets acquainted with him. Its
is engaged in electing his successor.
Now, if there was term enough to let a Con-
gress come between, it would he in personal
harmony, probably, with the President, and
they could perfect Legislation disinterestedly.

that one term is enough, whether for four
years or more

Mining Locations.

An important ruling upon the subject of
mining locations has recently been given by
Judge Bowen. of Colorado, in a Leadvillc
case. The ruling touches upon the definition
of the status of a discovery within the boun-
DIARIES of a valid location. Judge Bowen
says:
"a vein, ledge, lode or deposit of mineral
bearing rock i'll place being once discovered,
and such having afterwards been followed up
by a valid location and record of a lode-claim
based upon such discovery, the land, earth
or mineral within the limits of such location
ceases to be unappropriated public domain of
the United States, and thereafter no valid To-
cation of a mining claim can be made there
on, based upon a discovery of mineral bear
ing rock in place lying within the lines of the
claim so first located, save and except by the
owner of the claim so first located, and a To-
cation so made by such owner would be an
act of abandonment of at least so much ofthe
first location as might be included within the
lines of the second, and should such location
include the discovery shaft of the first, then
such location would be an act of abandon
nent of the whole of the first location"
