There are u number of mammoth cables which are known all over the world to the class of people who are interested in cable construction. But to the great mass of humanity, who bare- ly know a wire cable from hemp rope, these great coils of steel may be posted a dozen times day without awaken ing a suspicion that they are anything out of the usual order of things In New York, for example, one of the largest cables of the world is within sight of every citizen, and yet it fails to attract much attention simply be- cause people don't understand what d wonder it is their privilege to look at. Indeed, beyond q passing glance, few people take note of 125,000 pounds of wire even when drawn through the streets by 30 or 40 horses.
 Yet great cable is in reality yery remarkable thing. It's strength Is sometimes almost sufficient to sustain the weight of a mountain. Hemp ropes a foot in diameter are common on all ocean craft, but notwithstanding their apparent strength, three-quarter inch

Must Pay T axes

A reporter for the Chicago Dispatch in
an interview with one of the Cana dian
mail carriers, under date Of August II.
says:
"The territory in question is from three
to eight miles in width and embraces the
rich placer claims on Glacier and Miller
creeks which heretofore was supposed to
be in Alaska territory. Now the miners
learn that they are subject to the laws OF
Great Britain.
These statements were made recently by
Captain William Moore, Canadian mail
carrier between Victoria and Fort CuIahy,
N. w. T. He has returned from taking
the first mail to the Yukon miners in Brit
ish territory.
Errors in the old survey were discovered
late last autumn ana during the winter
Professor Ogi.ve, who now has e. &. of
a corps of British engineers engaged in To-
eating the boundary between the two
countries, made the correction, transferring
a strip of territory from three to seven
miles wide from Alaska to Canada. Over
200 miners were affected. The Canadian
mounted police Immediately compelled
them to pay miners taxes.

On the contrary, believe there is SOME

The increase in production this year is due
to the bringing into work of new ma
chinery, largely increasing the milling
opacity.
Taking the product at the usual value of
WitWatersrand bullion, the gross earnings
of the mine for June amounted to about
$4,000 and for the half-year ending with
June to total of 81 $4,000. The Ferreira
is the mine approaching the Robinson most
nearly at present, but its June output was
6,o25 ounces less, though its mill worked
over 5000 tons more ore than the Robin
son.-Engineering and Mining Journal.

the correctness Of the new survey. All of
Miller and Glacier creeks and parts of
several other streams rich in gold diggingS
are now claimed by the British author
tiles.
At first the American miners We're dis
posed to resent the encroachment, Moore
said, but after they had come to realize
thu benefits accruing from British jurisdlc-
ton they aic opted the authority of the
the British police.
That part of the Yukon embraces the
most valuable mining possessions in
Alaska, and affects the water rights of
of forty streams on Miller creek. In eigh
teen months man named Miller, who
came out with Moore, tool! out $50 pounds
of gold nuggets, valued at $4,000. Many
other rich strikes are reported.
1t appears that the miners concluded that
the United States government did not care
enough for the territory to establish a gov
eminent fort, inasmuch as Prof. Ogilvle
was permitted to locate such boundary
lines as he chose without the assistance or
presence of American officials, and NJ efforts
Were made to prevent the police from en-
forcing their regulations over that portion
of Alaska territory, Ogilvie sending his
field-notes and observations to Ottawa in
charge of his son.
He told Moore he would remain at Fort
Cudahy until the arrival of American sur
vevors to check his work if they desire.
The British authorities are firm in Their
methods of exercising the laws, but show
great respect for the mining interests, APP
parently impressing upon them the benefits
to be derived from Canadian authority as
compared with United States rule.
No excitement exists and no trouble is
anticipated. The miners are paying their
taxes and submitting o the new laws.
Moore says Canadian capitalists oontem
plate building thirty miles of narrow gauge
railroad from the head Lynn canal to the
chain of lakes connecting the Yukon river
and then establishing passenger and freight
servite between Victoria and Yukon mines.
An addition of two small draught steamers
in the lakes would complete the service.

The Robinson gold mine in the Trans
vaal has this year put itself far in advance
of any other mine in that country, its re-
ported output having been increased from
1921 ounces in January to 2o343 ounces
in June; and it is claimed that this rate can
be maintained, if not increased. during the
remainder of the year. The Robinson has
always held a prominent place among the
Witwatersrand mines both on account of
its large output of ore and the high grade.
Its reports show an average of about one
ounce to the ton, while the general average
of the mines is not far from o.6 ounces.
The mine, however, has record for good
work and economical management, its cost
being among the lowest in the district.

mistake was in regard to a matter

ing the mistake. A party may be
bound by contract he never saw,
provided it is made by someone
authorized to make it for him. The
principal is bound by the acts of
his agent if within the scope of the
agents authority, but not other
wise; one partner can bind his CO.
partner within the scope OF his bus

guardian can bind his ward, but
these are subjects which have GER

to them, and will not be discussed

The law does not consider, deter
mine or enforce contracts founded
solely upon moral considerations,
although it will not lend its aid to
enforce an immoral one, hence the
general rules of law established tor
the protection and security of hon
est men who may inconsiderately
make promise without any equiv

different character from engage

science are bound to perform. This,
however, is a defect inherent in all

society will not enforce a strictly
moral obligation, the interior for

has been aptly called, will take
of such contracts, and
either decree specific performance
or assesses heavy damages by way

your obliga tons may be possible,
concern you, but frsi be careful of
your promise, and when once made
consider it equal to your bond to
be performed without the mandates
of the law, and you will thus per-
form your duty to your fellow man
and fulfill the requirements of the
law Of God.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

The reports in circulation to the
effect that there are in the approx
innate of 1875 Indians vet to receive
allOtments on the reservation, is
apparently a baseless rumor. Spec
ial Agent Lane says that, in his
opinion, there is no cause for anx-
iety among the settlers on the un-
surveyed land, that the statement
that 1875 Indians were yet to re
ceive allotments was grossl y eXag
gerated, as only two or three have
made applications for allotments,
He gave it as his opinion, should
it be the case, that there were allot-
ments yet to be made, the settlers
on the unsurveved land would be
protected since the day of allot-
ment had passed, and all appli-
cations for allotments would neces-
sarily have to go before the Indian
commissioner henceforth. There
are from 40 to 90 abandoned aIlot-
ments on the reservation, some of
which were given to Indians who
have relinquiyhed their right to the
land to take claims on other re-
serves, and the rest being land
taken from Indians who have re-
ceived allotments under more than
one name. He cautions settlers
from putting too much confidence
in the idle rumors that are afoat,
that those desiring information
should go to the agency at Lapwai.

duress, or through fraud or mistake
are either void or voidable, that is
to say the party injured may at his
option either abide by the contract
or avoid it.
Duress exists when one by the
unlawful act of another is induced
to make a contract or perform some
act under circumstances which de-
prive him of the exercise of his free
will and it may be of his person or
his property. Duress of the person
is either by imprisonment or by
threats or by an exhibition of force,
which apparently cannot be re-
sisted.
The imprisonment may be con-
fnement in a house or on the street
or in a jail, but must be unlawful
and against the will of the person
confined either without just cause,
or for Just cause but without legal
authority, or for just cause and
with legal authority, but for a
malicious or improper purpose. A
threat to amount to duress must be
against the life or limb or irrepar-
able in its consequences, for if the
law can give compensation for the
injury threatened, by way of dam
ages, there will not be duress suffi-
cient to avoid a contract, but no
adequate compensation can be CIV
en- for the loss of life or limb and
hence the law will relieve a person
from a contract made for the pur
pose ofavoiding these consequences,
but even then the threats must be
such as would excite fear and over
come the will ola person of ordinary
courage, and must be grounded on
the reasonable belief that the per
son making it has the ability to
carry it into present effect Duress
of the goods consists in compelling
one to submit to an illegal demand
to obtain them from the person who
has them in possession but refuses
to surrender them unless the de-
mand is complied with, and any
contract or promise made for the
purpose of securing the goods can
not be enforced at law.
Fraud consists of any stratagem
device, misrepresentation or CON
cealnent of any fact concerning the
subject matter or the consideration
of the contract whereby a party
thereto is deceived and injured.
To constitute fraud in law it is
necessary that the party defrauded
be injured and that he be deceived
by the statements or concealments,
hence If the representations charged
as fraud were of matters within the
knowledge of the party claiming to
be defrauded or were in regard to
matters about which he could have
ascertained the truth, there can be
no relief granted, for the law en-
Joins on everyone the exercise OF
ordinary diligence and care, and
where these are wanting he is guilty
of negligence, against which the law
will afford no relief, and again the
person defrauded must be injured
for if he received full equivalent
for his promise, Notwithstanding
the false representations, he cannot
be relieved from his agreement
and as everyone is presumed tC
know the law, there can be no frauC
on account Of Misrepresentation a.
to the law.

President Cleveland te Be Represented on the Frieze of the Isn.nna,, st tI,n l..-,iAni

Ffesident Cleveland te 1a Represented on
 the Erieze of the Rotunaa st the Caaitol.
 President Cleveland is to have an mn precedented honor. His name is to be written higher than that of any of his predecessors ill the executive chair. I do not speak of tho third term. for few men outside of the White House coterie now believe the American people will ever elect any man third term to the presidential office, 10 matter how will ing he may be to receive such honorg. The unprecedented distinction which awaits Afr. Cleveland is that his DOT trait and figure are to appear in the great frieze Of the rotunda of the capi- tol.
 Senator Hansbrough and his commit tee on lihraly have decided to finish out the frieze, oil which work was stop ped seven years ago, by adopting for the vacant panels these three historic scenes: First, the discovery of geld in California; second, the driving of the last spike ia the transcontinental rail way, third, the formal opening of the Worlds Columbian exposition at Chi eago by President Cleveland. Sketches ef the three scenes have been made by the artist Cestaggini, and in a few days these sketches will be on exhibition in the marble room of the senate. Proba. ply they will create q good deal of a sensation
 The Democratic and Populist senators who hate Mir. Cleveland so intensely are expected to put in Q vigorous pro test against painting the face and figure of the president in the great frieze, there to remain as long as the republic stands. The idea is repugnant to them, and q few of them who have heard of the plan have swern to kick up such row as was never before seen in the capitol. According to them notion it would be an eternal disgrace to the United States to put the president up there among the saints and heroes of the republic Wal ter Wellman in Chicago Times. Herald.

A VALUABLE GROWN.

OuAtiOn or the CAAf.
 The crown which is to be worn at the coming coronation of the czar of Russia is one of the richest treasures Ill the possession of European royal or i'm perial families. Catharine the Great had it made by a jeweler from Geneva in the last century. She gave orders at the time that it was to be the most val uable crown i'll Europe The jeweler, however, was informed that it must not weigh more than five pounds, as the empress was to wear it for five hours at the ceremony of coronation.
 The Geneyan was successful i'll fulfill ing all the requirements, and the crown today is valued at nearly $45o, 1000. On it's top is ruby, surmounted by cross of five magnificent diamonds, and the rest of it is fairly covered with dla- monds and pearls.-New York Tribune.
