defined mineral belt, it shall be presumed to
be mineral land. 1t is also provided that
the annual period within which work on
claims commences shall begin at II o'clock

gresham Josiah Patterson of the Tenth
district Of Tennessee is. next to Secretary

that Mr.. Patterson has just been turned
down by an overwhelming majority in his
attempt to go to the Chicago convention as
delegate, four of the five counties in his
district having elected anti. Patterson dele
gates to their district conventions. W,
have no doubt that Mr.. Patterson will share
the same fate again if he has the temerity t,
seek denomination for Congress. 'Sc
perish all traitors"
