An interesting case has just been decided
by the Supreme Court of New Mexico regard
ing the RI hts of those who grub-sta Ike mining
prospectors Henry Lockhart of Albuquerque
had gruo-staked the original loca tors of the
Washing ton mine at Cocniti, which property,
when it proved valuable, became the subject
OF litigation between Lockhart and the loca-
tors whom he had grub-staked 1t has been
in the courts :or several ears, the result
finally being in favor of Loekhart.
During the first hall of the present year
9335 mining claims were patented in
Mexico. During the same months in 1898 the
mum ber OF patents was only 241.
In view of the rapid turning of attention to
mining the beds of streams with dredges and
the successful experiments which have al
ready been made in this State the following
from the New Zealand Mines Record will in
terest many: Dredging is becoming a very
important factor in the product of gold from
this colony, and in Otago especially it has
lately attracted a great deal of attention and
led to the pegging out of large number of
claims in the vicinity of the Clutha, Kawarau
and other rivers. The Rox burgh correspond
ent of the OIago Witness pub ishes series OF
articles, extending over period of nearly
three months, on "The Rise and Development t
of Dredging in Otago." In concluding ION
August l9) the writer stated tnat thers are
fifty-seven dredges working in Otago, thirteen
dredges building and seveniy-ive dredging
claims taken up with the view OF placing
dredges upon them"

He is an almost exact counterpart of his
dead uncle. He dresses in the same kind
of clothes the latter made familiar to
every mystery loving person in the coun-
try. He wears a mustache and goatee,
and his general manner is similar to the
other Hermann.
America this season will possess the
only known prestidigitatrice in the world.
She is Adelaide Hermann, the widow of
the late magician, and will appear in q
full magical exhibition. Even in these
days of fe minine advancement the idea c Z,
female magician is something uniqui&
and startling. 1t must be admitted, ho2g
ever, that Nine. Hermann has hlled Sc
we're apprenticeship to her art. Since her
marriage to her deceased eminent hus-
band she has. it may be said, lived in the
very atmosphere of magic, and some of
the best magical illusions which Herr
mann presented have been of her own de-
vising. When Herrmann's following in
creased so that he had other assistants to
take his wife's place she steadily refused
to lead the life of ease he had mapped out
for her, but each evening stood behind the<
scenes and handed to him any piece of
paraphernalia that he might desire in the
particular act he was then performing.
She never trusted any other person with
this self-appointed task, and the magician
grew so accustomed to her attention that
he considered her presence part OF the act
and needed her to a thorough confidence
in himself. 1t was to her that he attrlb-
uted the great success he attained from
just sucn acts as this. Through this OBJ
servation Mime. Hermann soon became as
great an adept in the art OF diablerie as
the professor himself.
Nine Hermann has successfully toured
the world and appeared before every
crowned head of Europe as well as the
principal dignitares OF state in North and
South America. This season she does
her late husbands great bulle et-catching
feat 1t is made all the more startling by
the fact that woman is to be the target
for the rife balis.
The marksmen who do the shooting
march on the stage first, followed by Nine.
Hermann, who is dressed in white SHIRT
and black knickernockers. The bulIetS
are marked, the plate-one OF the evervA
day dinner variety-is handed around III
inspection, the guns are loaded and the
marksmen take their places.
Are you ready? Fre!"
And Nine. Hermann walks forvard
with the six bullets on the plate.

A Family Of Nagicians

The transmission from one generation
TO another in the same family of some
peculiar gift or faculty has never been
more strikingly exemplified than in the
Hermann family. For several generations,
without break, the Herrmanns have been
conspicuous and world-famed as masters
of the impenetrable mysteries which in
modern times delight theaier-goers, but
which in ancient days were viewed with
religious awe when practiced by the ma gi
of the Persians.
Possibly the best-known Hermann in
this country was Alexander Hermann,
called Hermann the Great" who died
suddenly in his famous private car last
December in Rochester, n. Y.
The mainspring of the Hermann
house OF magic was German physic an.
When not engaged in physicking his pa
iients back to health, he spent his time
in devising weird illusions and concoc ing

with a degree of comfort and safety that could
not otherwise be obtained. In this connection
we wish to sdd that the Mining Record will
take great easure in furnis hing Information
to Legitimate enterprises that will tend toward
the exploration and opening up oil Alaska and
her mineral resources"
The present mining activity is illustrated by
statement by S. J. Hendy, which is typical
OF the reports by all established manuiactur-
ers and dealers in mining machinery in San
Francisco. Mr.. HeEdy says that the businv IS
in this line now being done is three times as
great as year ago. Seven-eighths of the num-
ber of orders are for development machinery,
which is highly sigr rificant of what is going
on all over the State in the way os opening up
mines. Small stamp mills, hoists, boilers, en-
glnes, water wheels, etc, innupIerable are be-
ing shipped from the city constantly. The
demand ior material for hydraulic plants
shows a very great increase.
San Francisco capitalists have bought the
old Blackleg drift mine in Butte County
which has been mined with varying but gem
eral success for forty years or so. 1t is pro-
posed to sink a shift 315 feet through the lava
Gaping to the ancient river channel and cor
meet the bottom of the shaft with a tunnel
2oOO feet long, part of which is completed. It
is proposed TO then hydraulic the gravel out
through tie tunnel with water ri ped under
pressure through the shaft
The Graves brothers are tunneling in on

The Mountain Mines Company proposes to
largely increase the force of men at lis

The hydra ulic mines on the Klamath will
soon be in operation again with the fall rains
and next year will see many new hydraulic
plants in operation.
Eighthour shifts are being employed at the
Cherokee drift mine in Butte County for the
first time in fifteen years. An inclined tunnel
is being run at the rate of $50 feet month.
Asyndicate has bonded the Green Mountain
mine and fifteen other claims. together with

Choral Society,

At meeting Of the music committee OF the
Port D"posi! en-; ...-i,;y % Tuesday
evening, September %, it was decided to call
general meeting of the members on Mon
day evening, October 18th. at 8 o'clock, for
reorganization, the election of officers and
reconsideration Of the present by laws
The committee thinks it advisable to have
the work of the chorus run on Il different
asis from that in the past such as giving
more attention to the study of sight singing
and theory and less time to the mere singirg
OF choruses by rote, and with this end in
view the ''Galin-Pars- Cheve" method will be
'aught. The lessons will be given on Mon
day and Thursday evenings OF each week
being one hour in length and the course will
cover period OF about seven months.
In recognizing the choral we wish to call
attention to the fact that the study Of sight
singing will be taken up seriously and that no
choruses will be attempted until the society is
able to read without the aid OF au instrument
and then only such music will be sung as will
be in accord with the knowledge OF time and
intonation already mastered As thelessons
progress, the study Of the theory OF music
will be introduced and all instruction will be
given In as simple and concise manner as
possible
Regularity and punctuality are absolutely
necessary and will be insisted upon, so that
nothing OF such character will retard pro-
gress. Every one should join at once, as
lesson n,,.;
it impossible to keep up with the class unless
they have private instruction. A large at
tendance is desired, SO that the choral may
begin work.
through the kindness OF Mr.. Tome, the
classes will meet in the assembly room of the
Institute and will be privileged to use the
music books of the school. All those inter
ested in music are most cordially invited to
he present AT the above mentioned meeting,
