ing Performance.
Grant stories aTe now in order, and
one told by white house attache re-
Gently has probably never been printed
before. 1t was a matter of current his
tory that Gen. Grant did not know how
to whistle, nor could he turn a tune If
his life depended upon it. On one oc-
casion, says the Chicago Tribune,
when an attendant came to deliver
cards from party of callers, he found
President Grant sitting at a piano in
one of the upper rooms of the white
house drumming away with a two
finger exercise. Mrs. Grant was an
amused spectator of the generals
piano exercises, and neither of them
heard the messenger at the door with
the visiting cards.
Finally, however, the attendant
opened the door, but this did not in the
least disconcert the president, who
kept on practicing as though he was
really enjoying it. Here are the
cards, Ulys," said Mrs. Grant, "of a
party of friends whom we invited here
this evening. They are anxious to see
you. and if you are not too much inter
ested in the plano we viii go down
stairs in the blue parlor."
Don't you think you can get along
without me this EVENING"" replied
! President Grant. "It seems to me this
calling business is your affair, and
would a great deal rather play the
piano than plunge into the vortex Of
society"

a vein in it's strike extending beyond the limits of the surface so patented, is effectual. From m examination of the authorities cited l am inclined to the opinion that the surface ground and the lode are not independent grants, but should stand together, and that it is not the purpose of the law relating to mining claims to segregase the snr- face from the mineral therein con tained, and that the only way to ap- propriatc mineral is by first appro- printing the surface aud thereafter securing patent therefor. ' ' There is nothing in law contemplating the patenhng of lode claim independ- ent of the surface; without the surface there is nothing to patent, and the only veins that can be and are authorized to be conveyed by such patent are those which have their apexes within the sur face lines of the land granted.
 ''The colored plat embraced within the body of the patent to the Rarus lode is intended 10 show just what ground within the exterior lines of the lot surveyed shall go to the patentee, and the land office has no authority in law to patent c vein beyond the end lines of the claim ss surveyed and pat ented, tine law expressly providing tina. shall not be done. In this instance the total area of surface granted is but ? 9s acres of ground, whereas @ vein 13le linear feet in length is also patented, and 1 take 1t that 1t is not the province of the land office to add, by patent, any vein or veins not included within the exterior boundaries upon the sur face."
 judge Lindsay's opinion appears to be sound and in line with former rulings. Land office regulations, No ', declares: Rights under patents for veins or lodes heretofore granted under previous legislation of congress are en- larged by the Revised Statutes so as to invest the pstentee, his heirs or assigns, with title to all veins, lodes or lodges throughout their entire depth, the top or apex of which lies within the end and side boundary lines of his claim on the surface, as patented, ex. tended downward vertically, although such veins. lodes or lodges may so fai depart from a perpendicular in their course downward as to extend outside tLe vertical s,de- lines of the claim al the surface. The right of possession to such outside parts of snch veins oI lodges to be confined to such portions thereof as lie between vertical planes drawn downward through the end lines of the claims at tho surface, so con. timed in their own direction that such planes will intersect snch exterior parts of such veins or lodges.

TIME TO PROTEST,

The people of Arizona are heartily sick of the McCord wrangle. Many are indifferent as to whether McCord is confirmed or not; a majority, per haps, would prefer to see his name withdrawn and good, clean man, not identified, with either faction of tue warning Republicans, appointed gov ernor.
 The SILVER BELT foresaw trouble for Arizona in the contention of the op- posing factions, and therefore We sup. ported Burt Dunlap, who was not in eolved in the fight, and in endorsing Mr. Dunlap we said:
 We believe the contest on both sides tMcCord and anti Me Cord is in- spired by political motives, with little consideration for the wishes of the people or the welfare of the territory. There is hope for the people that in the contention of these two factions the real objections to their respective candidates may be brought clearly to the notice of the appointing power, and that man acceptable to the majority of .hs ci.l1ens of the ter ritory may be appointed governor"
 The wisdom of that advice is ROW apparent, and it is certainly unfor. tunate that President Mckinley did not gain clearer insight of Arizona politics that be might have avoided making so grievous n mistake as the appointment of MeCord. Not only would it have been better for Arizona s reputation, but it would have been better politics, also, to have ignored both factions and appointed man in dependent of either. McCord's name was sent to the senate more than n month ago, ever since which time our political bushwhackers, Republicans and Democrats, have been engaged in an unseenIly strife at the national cap ital, and the whole country has been AcBuiSu thicuSl tue AeSOEiaASu IIess with our tale of woe. Such notoriety is not calculated to advance Arizona in the estimation of the eastern people, and We think it is high time for decent people in the territory to protest and demand that immedi action be taken on the McCord nomination. One mans political fortunes should not be permitted to Jeopardize the territory's welfare, and it would be far safer il the office of governor were given to 2 man against whom no breath of sean, dal prevails.
 Even though President Mckinley went outside of the territory for a gov, ernOr for Arizona, we consider that he would be perfectly justified, for have we not in this disreputable scramble for office demonstrated our incaracity for self. government?

IMPORTANT MINING DECISION

A mining case of very great interest, and probably the largest suit ever filed in the west, is that of the Montana Ore Purchasing company against the Bos- ton & Montana company for damages in the sum ofS2 232, 900 for ore which it is alleged the Boston & Montana company extracted from portion of the Johnstogn lode claimed under United States patent by the plaintiff.
 Stripped of it's legal verbisge, the case may be stated as follows: The patent for the RorGs claim, owned by the Montana Ore Purchasing company. issued on the 25th day of June, 1884, purports to convey to the grantees named therein a surface area of 2.98 acres of land, together with 1918 linear feet of the lode. Almost five months later, on November l5, 1884, the patent issued for the Johnstown lode, now owned by the Boston < Montana company, and which patent purports to convey to the grantees named therein a surface area of Is acres, together with 1917 linear feet of the Johns.own vein, We are not in. formed as to the shape (width and length along the course of the vein) of the Rarus surface claim, but it is plain that, no matter how formed, 1t eonld pog ioglude within it's end lines 1918 linear feet of the vein. and conse- auently the greater portion of the vein claimed under the Rarus patent must lie outside of the end lines of the claim. and extend into and for some distance through the Johnstown ground ns de- termined by its surface boundaries The patents for the Rarus and Johns town claims, therefore, seriously con hict.
 The case came up before Judge Lindsay, of the United States court at Butte, Mont, on June 5, on request for restraining order against the de- fendant company from further work Ing the property until final adjudica- ton was had in the matter. Upon hearing the evidence the judge dis solved the injunction.
 la giving his opinion Judge Lindsay said: ''The question before the court IS as to whether or not patent to a' ssda claim, which said patent conveys

THE TRANSFER OF STOCK
 BRANDS.

The Graham County Bulletin has been inqniring into the matter of the l transfer of live stock brands from the records of Graham county to the ter. ritorial brand book. end finds that the proportion of brands transferred is about the same as iu this county. It says:
 "A Bulletin man visited the re- corder's office on Wednesday and in- quired as to how m meny brands had been transferred from the county records to the territorial brand book. We found that in this county there are over GOO brands on record, and out of this number only 250 had been transferred on June 15. By July the number may reach 300, just one half In the language of the Globe SILVER BELT we would like to know what is to be done with the large number of the cattlemen in this county who have failed to comply with the law as laid down by tue sanitary boardT'
 As brands which have moi then been transferred are not recognized by tho ''bull tick" law as evidence of owner ship, the Bulletin wants to know who will own stock branded with them? And Gs person nsing brand not 50 recorded is deemed guilty of grand larceny, he will be guilty of criminal act if he brands his own stock. Great law that The Bulletin says an effort is being made to have the ''buii tick" law disapproved by congress, and by all means it should be done.

HOW IS THIsp
Stockmen Unable to Recover The:. Money from the Live Stock Sam
 itary Board fer Stray Stock.

Complaint is made that the live stock sanitary board has failed to refund 10 Gila county stockmen money collected from the sale of stray stock. c. D. Barclay wrote to the board June &, enclosing certificate of his recorded brand JF and at tue same time re. quessing that the mouey be sent him for stray steer inspected at Holbrook. May 3, and advertised in the Stockmau and Range News under the head of m. claimed live stock. Tho receipt of the brand certiticate for registration wos acknowledged, but not word was said in regard to the claim for the stray steer, and nothing has been heard from the secretary of the live stock sanitary board since.
 This might have been regarded as an oversight were it not that number of such complaints have been made, claimants alleging that they have re. ceived no satisfaction from the live stock sanitary board for demands made for funds collected for strays adYer. tised as unclaimed. The secretary oi the board has not even condescended to reply to letters in regard to adver. tised stock. Among the stockowners thus snubbed are F. W. Westmsyer, claimant, for steer inspected at Ge. ronimo; w. T. McNelly. for steer in. spected at Holbrook and one at Will. [ COX; Robert Sloan, for several animals also the Horrells and Morris Dunlap. Mir. Barclay says there are other Gils county stockmen who can get no satis faction from the autocratic board a, Phoenix, from whom it is US bard te recover money, it seems, as it is to ex tract blood from a turnip. The stock men whose claims have been ignored are justly indignant and threaten tt bring an action against the live stocl sanitary board.
 Under section l6 of tue revised stock hws, and rules prescribed by tho i've stock sanitary board, stray animali found in herds inspected at the yariou, shipping points in the territory art sold, and the proceeds, together witt tho bssn,'s nhd marks of such animal, are sent by the inspectors to the san itary board who cause them to be ad ver,ised as unclaimed live stock, ant the money so collected is supposed t be paid to claimants upon tbeir fur nishiug proof of ownership-that tn. brand is recorded in the territoria brand book, or else the claim must bt accompanied by certificate of regis tration from the recorder of the county in which tue brand is recorded. Int list of unclaimed stock fills almost { page of the Southwestern Stockmar and the amount of money in the hsndi of the sanitary board received from this source must amount to severa thousand dollars.
 It would seem as though an explana- ton is due from the live stock sanitary board.
