Is only upon relocation that the original
locator's rights are nullifed. Too often
the original locator and the re.locator Is
one and the same person. 1t Is much
easier to simply post a new notice Of 10
cation than to do the assessment work
which the law preseribes as necessary to
a binding Of right. Obviously, these are
difficult matters to remedy. IT would
seem that a special official, sort Of
claim warden, whose duties II would be
to take cognizance Of these various ways
Of evading the law, would be one solution
Of the problem. The main idea Is to De.
velop the mining resources Of this coun.
try. Whatever arrangement tends to.
ward that end Is good. The allowance Of
large number Of possibly rkh claims to
be innoeuousjy idle through successive
years Of relocation In avoidance Of as.
sessment work, Is the heaviest drag upon
the development Of mining region. .,
The supreme court Of California has
decided that parry holding a claim for
several years without doing In any year
the work required, by simply going on
the ground at the beginning Of each year
and doing a few hours work, with no
bona fide intent to comply with the satu.
tory requirement as to the amount Of
work to be done, cannot hold the claim.
Such work so done Is n pretense and
sham and will not prevent the relocation
for want Of nescessary work. The 81.
preme court Of Montana held that when q
locator resumes work for the purpose Of
holding the claim, he must continue the
work with reasonable diligence until the
law has been complied with. The right to
resume work must be exercised, however,
before another has taken possession with
the intent to relocate II. The first initia'
tory step lawfully taken by a re.locator
after a claim Is subject to forfeiture will
protect him for the period fixed by law,
and an intermediate resumption Of work
by the delinquent original locator cannot
cut of his privilege n

IHE fact that merely negletting to do
assessment work upon a mining claim In
the manner prescribed by law does not
work u complete forfeiture Of right In that
claim, tends In very great measure to
retard the development Of mining dis
trict. The wise lawmakers OF this state
have 80 sinned by omission In framing
statutes pertaining 10 mining, that failure
for an indefinite number oi years TO do
assessment work upon any claim will not
mean forfeiture Of any right, except In
the event OF Intervention by a third
party. The prior lorator's rights stand
until complaint Is made In due and elab.
orate form, or until relocation Is filed.
The county records, ot course, give u
vague abstract OF title 10 mining claims;
for at certain times after lotation, proofs
OF labor are required to he filed with the

The election of Professor Hadley as
president of Yale, foreshadowed in
earlier reports. is rightly regarded as
a decisive victory for the spirit Of the
age, for the liberal and progressive
tendencies of our time. 1t is not, how
ever, necessarily blow to general and
rational conservatism, to the spirit
which conserves the essential, the good
and the permanent and welcomes the
changes necessitated by the march OF
Intellectual achievement and moral
improvement. Professor Hadley is a
layman and his election reverses an
unwritten law that only clergymen
should be considered for the presidency
of Yale, but it is hardly necessary 10
say that the religious side of the insti-
tuition will not suffer from the reversal.

The state board of fish and game
commissioners Of California contem-
plate a raid upon the great herds of
sea lions, which are getting too numer-
Gus for the good of the salmon fishery.
The sea lion has no commercial value.
The average weight of these animals
is about 1900 pounds, but there are
not few of the old males that will
turn the scales at two tons. When the
salmon, which the state and nation are
propagating at great expense at the
several hatcheries on the coast, start
to run to the spawning grounds the
sea lions hasten to the bays and rivers
to destroy the spawn-laden fish. Much
the same state of things exists in the
River st. Lawrence, below Quebec,
which is infested with whales and por-
poises of no commercial value, but
which destroy enormous quantities of
useful food fishes.

The Army Cnnteen.

WASHINGTON, June lo.-It is i'm
probable that the war department will
accept as final the decision ofthe Penn
sylvania state court declaring that the
army canteen is subject to state taxa
ton. The officers In charge OF the can
teen at Camp Meade appealed to the
war department for assistance In de-
Tending the case. and the department
approving Of the application transmit
ted It to the department of Justice with
the request that an officer Of that de-
purtment be assigned for the purpose.
1t is believed the decision was rendered
before the defense could be prepared.
The principle involved Is regarded az
important. and 1t Is significant that the
Pennsylvania decision is directly in
conflict with the formal opinion of the
court of claims In the case involving the
