Mining Law.

Where q patent to mines issued by the
United States, it carries all mines IN the
land patented to which no right has at
tached ut the time the patent issues.
Failure to discover mineral within
the limits OF the claim goes to the validi
ty, of the claim, AS fundamental to the
possession and right of possession, and
is necessarily included in the adiudica-
ton and application for patent, and the
statutory proceedings attendant OF pub
l~ication and proof. In case of an ad-
verse claim, the question of the discov-
cry of mineral is one ofthe questions re-
mitted to the court and determined by
it in its judgment. After the judicial
tribunals have sustained the validity OF
the location, it cannot be called in Ques-
ton by a protest"
Land more valuable for its deposits OF
limestone than for agriculture, is miner
al land, and subject to sale under the
mineral law.
A vein or lode Of fire clay or kaolin,
though with well-defined boundaries, is
not Il vein or lode within the mineral
land statutes, but must be located rs Il
placer claim.
The mineral character Of a township
is determined from the character of Il
greater portion thereof. Consideration
Of the proof adduced at the hearing in
the case.
The locator Of a claim initiated on the
first day of January, 1882, has until Jan
nary |, 1884, to complete the first assess
ment work, which work when done,
would hold the claim until January ],
1885.
One making application for patent 10
mineral land is required by law to put
on the premises notice thereof. The
courts will presume such notice given /;
which notice is of itself a warming to all
that the parties are about applying for
patent-seeking to obtain title. If one
party knows the focts, or has opportuni-
~ to know them, and chooses I . take
bis chances, the other party is not estop-
ped.

God in Nature.

In recent scientific lecture Profess
sor c. A. Young, the astronomer, OF
Princeton College. used the following
language: 'Do not. understand me at
all as saying that there is no mystery
about the planets motions. There is
Just the one single mystery-gravita-
tion-and it is very profound one.
How il is that an atom of matter can
attract another atom, no matter how
great the disturbance, no matter what
intervening substance there may be;
how it will act upon it, or at least be-
have as if it acted upon it, / do not
know, 1 can not tell. Whether they
are pushed together by means of an
intervening ether, or what is the ac-
lion, can not understand. 1t stands
with me along with the fact that when
will that my arm shall rise, it rises.
1t is inscrutable. All the explana-
lions that have been given of it seem
to me merely to darken counsel with
words and no understanding. They
DO not remove the difficulty at all.
If 1 were to say what really believe, il
would be that the motions of the spheres
of the material universe stand in some
such relation to Him in whom all
things exist, the ever-present and oni-
nipotent God, as the motions CT my
body do to my will do not know how,
and never expect to know"

Since the sounding Of the cry: The
Chinese must gor' Cinnamon in San
Francisco have suffered so much perse-
cution that they have become suspicious
of all Americans who come prying about
headquarters. Before trading they wlsn
to be sure that the visitor is q customer
and has come to buy and not to tease
them. But when they are sure that ne
means business" it is amusing to see
how eager they are to get the highest
prices for their wares. :
Two gentlemen from the east had an
experience of this kind in San Francisco
not long ago. While visiting Chinese
shops in search of peculiar kind OF tea
pot, they found in one shop four China
men around table in the back part Of
the store, drinking tea Near the door
was another, with queer pen in his
hand. like a little paint-brush, appa-
rently sauaring up accounts. He looked
at them forbiddingly, as they asked:
"Have you any teapots in padded
baskets to keep the tea warm.
"No," was the curt reply. .
"Why. l saw one in the window.
mo"
"1eS, did; look here.
'.No; no sav-ee Mclean" (don't under
stand English).
At this juncture one of the tea-drink-
ers, who had been listening attentively,
came forward and asked, in q stern.
voice:
"You wantee buv?'
ayes. of course we do" replied the
Americans.
"You wantee buy tleapot?''
"Yes, like that. How much is it ?'
"You wantee buyP" still persisted the,
Chinaman.
"Yes, yes! How much is it?''
zone tollar four bittee" Zone dollar
and half.
"a dollar and four bits! Why,
friend of mine bought one Just like that
for six bitsm (seventy-five cents).
ugh! You no wantee buy" and the
man turned to put up the teapot
"Here! don't put it up. I'll give you
six bits for it,
"You gottee money?' said the Celes-
tial, shrewdly.
"Yes, look here" and one of the
visitors drew from his pocket purse
containing several pieces of silver.
At sight of the money the. Chinamah,
convinced that a trade was intended,
girded himself for bargain, for he was
eager to sell.
"Me sell him one tollar two bittee."
''No, six bits, tell you, and that's
ALP
"China plice, one tollar one bittee.
Me no gettee plofit.'
..Six bits. Will you sell? That's all
I'll give"
After further haggling, the Chinaman
came down in his price and sold the
teapot for seventy-five cents. Suspicion
seldom prevents their taking mans
money; and the '.plotits" seem satisfac-
tory, even when they receive but half oil
the asking price.-Youth's Con,ponion.
