There will be no further lepisla-
ton to enable the owners of mineral
claims to hold them without doing
their annual assessment work. 1t is
generally believed that further stay
of assessment would be in furious to
the mining industry and except in
rare cases no further extension is de.
sired. Most all Of the mining news
papers throughout the country have
favored this move and so far as we
know there are very few miners and
~prospectors but that are willing to
do their assessment and see others
continue to work their properties.

A Boys Essay on Cats.

A small boy in one of the Detroit schools
recently handed in this composition on
cats: Cats have foar legs and nine lives.
Why they are five legs short 1 do not kno
at this time. l CESS I can find out tho
when / die. 1 think cats wood be a gould
deel %funnyer if they. had nine legs and five
lives, don't you? Cats have tales which
they rap round thare feat when they set
down so as to hold them together. I kno
a bob tailed cat that Is ashamed to set
down in public a tall. I CESS it Is afrade
It's feat will skater. Thare are Tom cats
and Puss cats, which the Tom cat is
more massive and has a more sounding
voise in the midnight darkly when all elts
is still. Cats cries like babies sometime,
but you cannot Civ them parrygorick to
quiet thare nervus sistems like you can
babies. We hav a baby at our house that
l CESS has drinked about foar quarts Of
parrygorick and every mite it cries just the
saim for more. I CESS that baby must
hav the parrygorick habit. Young cats
are very frisky and they will play all day
because they don't nave no skool to go to.
l CESS l would like to be a young cat till 1
was growed up to be a man. Cats eat milk
and mice regular and the canary for de-
zert. Cats are very clean animals, but 1
never thought it was very clean to spit
on their hands and wash thare faces in
