Now IS the time to push the Nicaragua canal scheme. With our fleet in the Atlantic a hostile power could destroy everything on the Pacific Coast before our fleet could be sent around the Horn to protect us. With the canal in operation our whole fleet could be sent into the Pacific Ocean in a week or less.

Tha san Francisco Post is la menting the fact that war has been declared and states that President Mckinley was forced to commence active hos,ilities by the minority in congress. The Post editor does not seem to be aware of the fact that the most rampant members of the war party were republicans and that the declaration of war was practically unanimous. If the Posts sympathy for Spain is get ting too acute to enjoy the vict r. ies of the Americans the good peo. pie of San Francisco, We are sure, will furnish it free transportation to the land of the don where 1t can expand and bloom under the witch ing smile of royalty like a toad stool in a cowpasture.

An editorial writer in the Los Angeles Herald refers to the recent decision of the supreme court con cerning extralateral rights as hay ing mischieflnaking possibilities. It says it is in the interest of mo. nopoly and will retard prospecting, etc. The Herald writer evidently misunderstands the proposition. The decision, as rendered., simply gives the mine owner the right to follow his vein under and beneath the surface ground of an adj Dining claimant. If 1t was otherwise a poor mine owner would be cut off at a line drawn perpendlcul.rly downward from his side line. The proposition that a man could fol
 low his vein to China or any other out of the way place has always obtained in the mining states of the west and had the supreme court set aside this view it would have caused wide disaster to mine own CTS. Where vein passes through one end line and one side line the court held that a new end line would be established by the court. This was simply matter of equity. Many claims pass over the brow of hill and had erosion not taken place the lode would run through the establ shed end lines, but the wearing away of the mou tain has caused the vein to pass out of the end line on its dip. The mine own CT has q line drawn vertically downward and takes his vein where it would have come inside his end ! line had no erosion taken place. Judge Hallett. of Colorado, in de. cidlng the Amy-Silversmth case. held that where the vein passed out of both side lines the sidelines be. came the end lines and the owner obtained no eStralateral rights. The Herald says no jury has ever been found that were willing to take the supreme courts view of the law. In this the Herald Is al.
 30 mistaken. Juries have always taken the view that man was en. titled to follow his vein to any depth at which it could be prolit- ably worked. It is simply he right of apex location. The Herald man has simply got his ideas of lode and placer location mixed up
 Following a vein on it's dip below the surface of another claim does not give the owner the right 10 seize the other claim aud convert it to his own use. Would the Herald man know a claim if he met it or, a mountain trail, anyway7
