MINING MEN DISCUSS
 PROPOSED NEW LAWS
Congress at Salt Lake Considers Re- ports From the Committee on
 Revision.

SALT LAKE, July 7.-To-day's session of the International Mining Congress was consumed by a discussion of the report of the committee on revision of the Fed eral mining laws. The report fayors the abolition of all laws of apex and extra lateral rights; favors Federal surveys of all locations before surveys can be made valid; urges an official record of locations in the Surveyor Generals Office as well as in the County Recorders Office; en- larges locations to forty acres and gives rights to all minerals within the boundary lines extended vertically.
 A minority report was presented by w. Dennis of Washington, member of the revision committeea MT, Hepburn favors the retention of the present mining law, amended to provide for Government sur Veys at Government expense Of the first location on any ledge; the survey to define the course of the ledge and establish it by monuments. All subsequent locations shall conform in end lines to the course of this survey line, the idea being to obviate subsequent litigation as to the apex and course of the vein.
 Judge Hepburn, speaking in favor of the minority report, said British Columbia had adopted the square claim theory, but 1t had worked such an injustice to the poor prospector that the Government was now seriously considering the question of abolishing 1t. Professor w. S. Reyes of California spoke for the majority report He said Judge Hepburn was the first per son he ever met who was satisfied with the present law. He said his object in advocating the proposed changes in the law was to prevent litigation and promote Justice. Tom Smith of New Mexico made a stirring speech against the majority re- port, declaring that If adopted 1t would destroy the mining industry. H. D.. Dun- can of California was the next speaker to attack the majority report. The discus sion then went over to tomorrow.

The Bankers of the east are send
ing out plate matter not in defence of
the McCleary bill, but urging that
because SO few of the committee
which reported the bill endorsed it
that there is no danger of its passage.
1t will not be forgotten that the
measure that passed congress in 1878,
dropping the silver dollar from mint
ing privileges was known only to
John Sherman of Ohio, and congress
man Hooper of Massachusetts,, and
yet the measure went through. Safety
lies in defeating republican candi-
dates for congress, who are bankers,
because their interests are not the
same as the interests of the people
and without exception, they favor
the measure. We venture the opin-
ion that the bankers of this county
endorse the bill with perhaps single
exception, yet the measure is SO obi
GUS to the people that they dare not
openly espouse it. The fact is safety
lies in the defeat of congressman who
dare not discuss the measure before
the people, and yet who are known
to be in it's favor. This is the case
with the republican candidate from
this district.

1t is noticeable that the nomination
of L. H. Burns for county auditor
meets the approval of a good many
persons in this locality, and the Lime
Springs correspondent of the Howard
County Times well says che is gen.
eral favorate here" We suppose all
this results from the fact that Mr..
Burns is known to be one OF the bright
est and most Interesting young men
the county possesses-although per-
haps he might not care to have The
Sun say so-has excellent business

William E. Curtis, the Chicago Re.

William E. Curtis, the Chicago Re-
cord'sa Washington correspondent, is
one of the smoothest fellows at the
national capital. He covers his sim.
ulations with veneer of apparent
candor we'll calculated to mislead and
deceive. In one of his recent letters
he tremblipgly announces that the
Spaniards will take new hope and not
unlikely renew the war unless the re.
publicans secure control of the next
congress. He must imagine that the
people have forgotten the plain facts
of history. The war with Spain was
largely for humanity's sake and was
brought about by struggle in con-
gress waged largely by democratic
leaders. They forced reluctant ad-
ministration to strike the blow. The
public has not forgotten how Mark
Hanna and the men Of his class
protested against the war and
predicted all manner of dire results
The democrats both in and out of
congress were largely responsible for
the war and they loyalty supported
the president in every war measure.
Democrats did this, not for political
advantage, but for national honor
and liberty's sake. 1t was just and
righteous war which overshadowed
all political considerations. It's glori-
GUS results cannot now be dimmed by
the success or pefeat of any political
party, and Mr.. Curtis offensive and
untimely suggestion will be resented
and repudiated by the decent men of
all parties.-Manchester Democrat.

"As it is at home by all who know

on the 18th 1T was decided it would be
impossible for us to get much further,
and we turned and stood for Nunivak
Island. At this time we were within
about Seventy-five miles of Sledge
Island, and 1T seemed too bad we could
not get ashore there, as Nunivak rep
resented about 500 miles more of sled
travel. However. there was no help for
1t and we headed south, reaching Cape
Vancouver on the afternoon of the
10th. There is a native village at this
place, and upon going ashore Jarvis
found native trader who could furnish
US with dogs and sleds and get us to
st. Michael in about ten days. This
was good news, and our supplies were
landed at once, our good-bys were said,
and soon Lieutenant Jarvis, DR.. Call
and myself stood on the beach, at last
started on our long journey over the
snow and ice. There was another man
with us, F. Koltchoff. who was to be
employed with the Government herd of
reindeer at Unalakleet. and was to be
taken along with us that far.
We had landed about four miles from
the village of Tununak but as the ma
tives had come to meet us In their kay
axis they took our provisions and out
fits ano transported everything to the
village, while we, with the trader, Alexis
Caleny footed it, arriving at his house
at about $3.50 p. m. After a further
consultation with Alexis Lieutenant
Jarvis decided not to start until tho
18th, as one of the teams we wera 70
use had but just returned from an
eight days trip and needed rest. So
we utilized the rest of that day and the
next completing our preparations and
packing the dog sleds. Early on Sat-
urday morning, the 18th, everybody
was astir and the dogs soon harnessed.

hours before. l soon learned from his
letter of instructions that he had gone
along the coast up around Norton
Sound and along the Cape Prince of
Wales peninsula so as to get the deer
herd started north as soon as possible.
and that L was to follow as soon as I
could procure the necessary dogs, and
to go to the head of Norton Sound and
pack provisions across what is
known as the divide, so as to meet the
deer herd when it arrived at Kotze-
bue Sound land thus repleniih the lar
der of the oser herders. AS Jarvis in
tended to travel by deer sled as soon
as he reached the herd, waited at ST.
: Michael for a few days until his teams
could get back, as dogs were very
scarce, the rush to the Klondiket hay
ing prettv well cleaned the country Of
them. After waiting few days. and
seeing no signs of the dogs, I decided to
go to Unalakleet, where l was to get
the bulk of my provisions and wait
there for the dog teams. Alexis hav-
ing been engaged to go only as far as
st. Michael, bought one of his teams
and left him there. Koltchoff, being of
no further use to the expedition, was
also left there, and on the 9Th of jan
uarv I left ST. Michael with one dog
team and a native guide. After we

had ever seen doomed up ahead
There vas ice all around us as
far as the eye could reach, yet
here was a vessel apparently bear

American ensign flying from the mast
head. My native guide could make
nothing out of it, but upon closer in
spect'on we made it out to be sled
coming across the ice under sail and
going so fast with fair wind as to
nearly run over the dogs. AS soon as
we came abreast and the usual saluta-

owner of this curious outfit to be Mr..
George F. Tilton, the third mate of the
whaler Belvidere, who had left Point
Barrow on the 18th of October and. was
on his way to SAL Francisco to let the
owners of the imprisoned vessels know
their condition and to ask for whatever
help could be sent. AS / learned after
