MINING DEPARTMENT
EFFECTS OF NEW STATE LEASING SYSTEM.
More About the Enterprise Rico Observation-Disclosures
Being Taken in the Gold Convention.

The Rocky Mountain News discusses
the leasing of state mineral lands as
follows:
Thc new rule made by the State
Board of Land Commissioners in re-
gard to mineral leases from the state
has stirred up the lensers all over the
state. and the register is kept busy an
swering queries. She board is begin
ming To realize that some of their rules
will not hold water. For instance, they
have ordered that hereafter, if it is
found that II lessee is not working his
lease diligently. it shall be forthwith
forfeited. The old form of lease I'M
der which most of the present lessecs
are working, has the following clauses:
"SiNlh-Thnt in each year of said
term for which the lease is granted
said party of the second part agrees
10 mine or mill on said premises ores,
clements. substances and compounds
of commercial value To the gross valu-
alton of $40 or in default thereof shall
pay royalty upon the above named
amount. The royalty on the ores. etc,
so mined or milled ON said premises. or
agreed to be 50 mined or milled. shall
he the sum of four per cent. on the
gross valuation thereof.
provided. that the above option to
pay II specified royalty does not excuse
tile party of the second part from II
diligent prosecution of mining or mill
ing upon the said premises"
II Will be noticed that there is Il 1i-
rect conflict between these two clauses.
There are grave doubts in the minds of
the board whether they would he able
TO compel forfeiture so long as the
so year is promptly paid. At any
rate, no attempt has been made to test
the matter. and replies of the register
to requests for more definite informa-
ton have been very cvaSive on the
subject.
The board is also beginning to have
grave doubts us to whether or not the
new form of lease is wise. Under the
old lease, the lessee had the ground for
twenty years so long MS lie paid the
royalty or rental, as it has generally
been considered. Under this rule. cv-
cry acre of ground in the Cripple
Creek district is rented and bringing in
returns. Under the new lease. the term
is limited TO eight years the royalty is
fixed AT ten per cent. 0er year and the
lessor has the right to forfeit the lease
If work is not pushed steadily and At
least two men kept ut work under
ground.
While many of the new leases are
made, II is feared there will be lots of
vacant mineral ground. and some of
the holders of leases. who have been
holding for speculative purposes, are
loud in their objection 10 it. There is
a great deal of interest manifested To
see the board forfeit some of the old
leases for failure TO work. and some of
the mining men openly assert that the
board will be unable TO do it legally I'M
der the form of lease they hold Thus
far the only leases forfeited have been
those where IeSsees have failed to nav
their royalty. but the matter will come
TO Il show down within Il short time
now. and the board will either have to
allow the old leases to run or have
fight.

Madame de Navarro, who is none
other than our beautiful American
actress, Mary Anderson, of former
days, recently participated as vocal
ist in concert at the sleepy old Eng
lish village of Broadway, in the Cots
wolds, where she lives. Hence the
rumor, wholly unsubstantiated, of her
intention to re-enter public life as a
singer. At Broadway Miss Anderson
has congenial friend and neighbor
in Miss Maude Valerie White, the
composer, who has taken great inter
est in the development of the actress
singing voice-a full and deep con-
tralto flexible and of fine timbre.
When Miss White organized her con-
cert at the Lyon Arms-an antique
hostlery with memories of King
Charles and Cromwell-MissA Ander-
son readily consented to assist. The
brilliant crowd of country gentry,
loyal Broadwayites and enthusiastic
Americans who attended expected to
make due allowance for an amateur,
but the fair singer treated them to n
genuine surprise. Here" says the
London Sketch, reporting the event,
"was dramatic fire, variety of ex-
preston, and above all, deep sense
of musical propriety. The applause
was as sincere Las it seemed CRATE
full to the singer. No need to ask
whether Madame de Navarro was
pleased. Her face told the tale. In
her dress of pale green silk, graceful
and lissom as of yore, she looked as
young as when she first captivated
England's heart as Perdita or Juliet.
The face of the successful artist is
seldom entirely pleasing when in re-
pose; there is almost invariably a
spoiled, selfish look, some suggestion
of pettishness or regret. But Miss
Anderson is unspoiled by her success,
and one may verify believe that her
self-imposed seclusion has brought
with it no heart-burnings She lives
between her domestic cares, the de-
lights Of social life, and the consola-
tions of the little chapel, whose altar
she is as proud to adorn as she was
that of the Ursuline convent at Lou
isville in her girlhood days. "-Leslie's
Weekly.
