A Great Anniversary.

The Fourth OF July is unique among
anniversaries not only because it commeu
crates the modern iebirth Of freedom after
it's death in the middle sges. but because
1t holds = place in history as the fret
modern anniversary date Get apart for com
memorstion by oil the people Of = nation.
The men who made the day historical
felt instinctiveIy the significance Of their
work and that it's influence WAS not bound
I'd by ocean lines. They felt that the day
WAS TO commemorate the liberation not
only OF . people, but 10 large measure OF
the race. They believed that 1t was to be
first among many days to come illumined
v ith the light OF the brighter pssesof
human history,
At the first anniversary OF the dste
held 10 Philadelphia, and in which the
moving figures were the men who had
signed the Declaration Of Independence,
this idea was clearly expressed. They
had builded not only for . country, bat
for the world. and not only for . genera
ton, but for oil time. They had given
the nstionsl anniversary . place 10 human
annals, they thought and said. The cen
tury which has followed bss justified the
opinion.
10 less than half . generation France
had made the eig h.senth Brumsire immor

The influence OF the Fourth OF July has
been worldwide. Az the people have

swer given to the fourth question in

the DEF Monte Mining company VS..
the Last Chance Mining company.
compels an afirmance of the judgment
Of the supreme court of Montana and
IL il 30 ordered"
The question in the Colorado case
was If the apex of a vein crosses n
end line and one side line of a lode
mining claim, as located thereon, can
the locator Of such vein follow 1T upon
its dip beyond the vertical side line OF
his location"
The court decided this question in
the Affirmative and summed VI its
conclusions in the following PROPOSE
tons:
"First-The location as made on the
surface Dy the lOcdtOT ueteTfnints TIC
extent of rights below the surface.
"Second-The end lines. as he marks
them on the surface. with the single
exception hereinafter noticed, places
the limits beyond which he may not
go in the appropriation of any vein or
veins along their course or strike.
"Third-Every vein the top or apex
of which lies inside of such surface
lines extended downward vertically
com his by virtue of his location,
and he may pursue 1t to any depth be-
yond his vertical side lines. although
in SO doing he enters beneath the sur
face of some other proprietor.
"Fourth-The only exception to the
rule hat the end lines of the location
as the ocator places them establish
the limits beyond which he may not
go in the appropriation of a vein on
it's course or strike is where 1t is de-
veloped that i'm fact the location has
been placed not along but across the
course of the vein. In such case the
law declares hat those which the To-
Gator called his side lines are his end
lines and those which he called end
lines are in fact side lines. and this
upon the proposition that it was the
intent of congress TO give to the loca-
tor only so many feet of the length of
the vein, the length to be bounded by
the lines which the locator has estab-
lished of his location"

ment when he became governor Of his
island. The duke was pointed out to me
by Clan Jacopo, and considering the
fact that he was at present occupying
the throne to which I was rightfully
entitled, 1t may be imagined that ex-
amined him with great interest.
And now the great doors Of the Sig
nory flew open, and the solemn process
sion came on the platform. First came
a dozen or more monks in the Domin-
lean costume, chanting a mournful
dirge, then the CONDITIONER. bearing the
standard of justice, who was in turn
followed by six of his officers. Behind
them walked the victim, clad in the
robes of his order, and supported by
two of his brother friars, who. bending
close to him, were evidently pouring
exhortations and consultations into his
ears.
When the procession, in its march
along the platform. had come to
point almost abreast of where we stood,
I caught glimpse of the face of Broth
er Ambrose beneath the cowl which
o'ershadowed it. and noticed that he
seemed far from penitent, and that his
