the right of nonresident aliens to in
herit property lying in, this state. That
decision. however, was based upsn a
statute of the state of Colorado which
expressly gives such right of inherit

ferred to has no application to the act
relating to personal injuries and allow
ing damages therefor. Under the dam
ages for the death of any person, do not
stand in the right of inheritance. The
statute does not give them the action as

individuals named in the statute by
force of the statute, and not as matter
of Inheritance from the deceased per-
son. So far as have been able to in

depreciation applied to the Pennsylvania
statute is applicable to the Colorado
statute, and it ought to be said here as
it has been said in Pennsylvania, that
non resident aliens living in foreign

said were glad enough to return home,

MINING CASE APPEALED.

a mining contest to the court OF appeals,
says the Denver Republican. The
police magistrate represents the Penn

ticular. The lower court sided with
Bales. Judge Thomas filed his appeal

did not make any casa in the lower

mill ore taken from the shaft after at
tanning its present depth, yielded under
stamps 51a ounces gold per cord, the
mill concentrates netting S14 per ton,
and the smelling ore 800 per ton. The

and the opening up of virgin ground
means great deal to Gilpin county.
The result will be watched with un-

Independence district, settled for lot

previously that netted 500 per ton.
When it is taken into consideration
that the stamp mill ore yielded but two
ounces gold per cord, it can readily be
seen that the ore was of u very high
grade.
