It agreed on the making Of stipulated
payments, to convey the property to such

Declaring Forfeiture of Mining Lease
A lease of coal lands, reserving a royalty
on the output as rent and requiring the
lessee under penalty of forfeiture, within
specified time to commence the work
of developing the coal interest in the
lands, by opening shafts through which
the coal can be mined and removed, and
by opening mines so as to enable the coal
to be mined and transported to the mar
ket, requires actual mining operations to
be commenced within the time specified :
and the mere erection and equipment of
shafts and mines by which coal may be
mined are insufficient. Where such lease
declares a forfeiture for failure to de-
Velop and operate the mine, and author
ICES the lessor to re-enter without demand
or notice, a demand on the actual tenant
to comply with the lease Is not a pre-
requisite to the lessons right to declare
a forfeiture Where the owner of the
lands is in possession, no demand for sur
render on forfeiture of the lease is re-
CURED Nor is such forfeiture waived by
the owners mere silence for some time
after he might have declared a forfeiture
of the lease for failure to perform-Island

ing to 5000, became due and the parties
holding the bond failed to make the nee
essary arrangements for meeting it, and
instead asked for a further extension of
time. The owners refused to grant any
extension and the bond was thrown up.
But little more than assessment work
has been done since that time until the
present work was commenced
There is an abundance of all that In
required in the successful operation of a
mine, such as timber, water, ETC., and
there Is no reason to expect anything but
the most encouraging reports should the
property continue to develop as the pres
ent indications point 1t Is understood
that there are at present several parties
making an examination of the property
with a view to taking working bond on
1t, and should the deal go through it will
mean the employment of quite few
more miners, of which there is now a
scarcity in the camp. The property GER
tainly justifies the expenditure of con-
siderable money in further development
work.
Operations on the Wny-Up.
A small force has been put to work on
the Way-Up mine. which is located on the
divide between Libby creek and The West
Fisher and which is considered one of the
best gold properties in the Libby district
1t is owned by the Montana Kootenai
Mining company, of which James Hig-
gins and Joseph Riley of Butte were the
principal promoters, and who are genep-
ally supposed to be the principal owners.
This property was quite extensively de-
veloped last year under the supervision
of Mr.. Riley. who put in most of his
time at the property. and the develop
ments were sufficient to justify him and
others in organizing the company above
mentioned with that claim as basis
and offering the stock for sale in the
Butte market.
The Way-Up was purchased from the
Bryant brothers last year for $500. and
is developed by 200-foot tunnel. which
has been run in on the lead, and there is
a good showing of ore in the face of the
tunnel. The claim is situated in the
midst of several very promising claims
and there is every encouragement to war;
rant the further expenditure of money
in its development.

state Turtles.

Turtles are very largely found along
the coast line of Burma, and the impe-
cunious government has found means
to make money out of it. The right to
collect turtles and eggs is sold by auc-
ton annually by the deputy commits
sioners within whose districts the
banks are situated. The revenue from
this source in the Irrawaddy division
alone was about $4,000 rupees. For
some time past decrease in the num-
Der of turtles and tortoises has been
noticed. and the government now pro-
poses that the islands on which the
tortoises lay should be completely pro-
tected from Jan. ] TO May Is (the lay

Tramp Murdered for Money.

OTTUIwA, Ia, July 19.-The body of
man supposed to be B. Flanagan of
Cohoes, N. Y, was found several days
ago on the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railway tracks, the lower limbs
being mangled. A post mortem exami-
nation showed several wounds on the
back of the head, which the physicians
testified had caused death before his
body was placed On the track The
police believe Flanagan had wealthy
relatives in Cohoes, who from time to
time supplied him with money, al
though he was tramp.

Mr. Msrri~sthsr., Enterprise

From A recent issue of the Kansas City Star 1t is learned that a gentle man who is well known m Prescott and who has interests in this county, is at the head of a company which proposes to reopen navigation on the Missouri river. The gentleman is Hunter M. Merriwether, who owns large mining interests in the Black Canyon section. The charter under which the company will operate was acquired in this territory, the articles of incorporation being published ID the JoURNAL- MINER. The Star speak ing of the new enterprise says:
 "Ksnsas City IS to have excursions on the Missouri river this summer. The Kansas City Navigation com pany, a local company, headed by Attorney Fl. NJ. Merriwether, has made all the arrange nents, even to the purchase of boats, and 1t IS ex- pected that the first trip will be made not later than May 15.
 "Should the plans of the company not go away, 1t is probable th1t a freight service will be established on the river between Kansas City and Leavenworth, and the coal mined st the latter place brought to this city by water at a greatly reduced cost for transportation. As a result 1t IS expected that fuel will be cheaper ID Kansas City next winter than 1t has ever been before.
 "The company has purchased the stern-wheel steamer Moline from the owners at Moline, Ill.,, aud she Is now being reftted at the docks al Rock Island. III, She will be brought down the Mississippi to St. Louis and thence up the Missouri to Kansas City. arriving about May l5
 "The Moline IS about 150 feet long and 30 feet in width. She has three decks, and is said to be one of the strongest and fastest steamers that ever piled the upper Mississippi She draws but thirty inches of water' which, it is thought, will enable her to navigate the river st low water.
