NEvADA's MINING LAWS.
They Differ I'm Many Respects From
Copp's Compilation.

Coppe COmptlatfom.
w. O. Gaybart Of Austin furnishes
the Reveille with the following con-
densation OF the mining laws nov in
force in Nevada, which will prove
interesting to mining men ell over
the State:
"The opinion is generally preva.
Lent that Copp's Mining Laws is an
authority upon all subjects con-
nected with the laws governing the
location OF mines. This was un-
doubtedly true until Nevada passed
mining law Of its own, which has
entirely superseded all that is con-
tanned in the ordinary edition of
Copp. One of the State papers ad-
vises that "A stake ut each end of the
claim is sufficient to hold the claim.
This was true when Copp wrote his
work, but now il requires at the
very least FIVE stakes or monuments.
"Any citizen Of the United States,
or one who has declared his inten-
tion to become such, may make q
valid location. This includes women
and minors.
IF q proposed location laps over
ground already held by another, the
discovery point must be on vacant
ground. If upon land owned by
another the whole attempted location
is void.
"If notice does not specify the
extent of the claim, it is void.
"a notice of location may be in
pencil. Such q notice will remain
legible longer than il written in ink.
Zone locator may make as many
locations in his own name as he may
desire; but no location shall be for
greater area than 800 feet by
GOO, and the side lines shall in no
instance be more than 300 feet from
the middle of the lode or vein.
"No location on lode claim can he
made until the lode or vein has been
discovered.
'The certificate of location must
be recorded with the mining district
recorder il there be one, and with
the County Recorder of the county
in which the claim is situated, with
in ninety days from the date of loca-
tion.
"A locator may add the names OF
as many persons as he may desire to
a location notice or certificate; out
after having done so he can not law
fully remove any such additional
names.
"a location may be made on any
day.
Lines can not be changed after a
certificate of location has been re-
corded, except by amended certificate,
and not then where such change will
affect the intervening rights OF others.
"Where two or more persons are
located on the same claim as CO.
owners and one or more desire to
abandon their rights in favor OF those
located with them, it can be done
only by executing a deed or being
advertised out. An oral agreement is
worthless as ii can not make record
title.
"The grub stake method OF en-
ploying prospectors is recognized by
the courts, and any claim or claims
located by a piospector 80 employed
will inure to the benefit of such pros
pector and his employers equally,
whether the names appear in the
certificate or not.
81 am asked: "Should consider
able quantity of loose float carrying
much value be discovered upon ground
not previously located, can the same
be located?' Most certainly not, ex-
cept as a placer mine; without the
discovery of ledge or vein in place
and mineralized, there is no lode To-
cation"

KEEPING A CABINET SECRET.

Secrets of state are probably the best k opt of all secrets. When cabinet min isters in England first-are admitted to the privy council they have to take Q solemn oath not to make known con versation or proceedings of the cabinet councils, or any communications they may have with the queen or with an other minister. They cannot give T hint of such things even to the highest members of the government who arc not cabinet ministers. No clerk or sec retary is allowed to be present at cabi- net councils, no written record is kept and it is the custom not to take any notes. Hence no one but the que5n ani the ministers ever knows what has really been said and decided at cabinet councils. The oath of secrecy lasts to the end of life. An ex-cabinet minis ter is as much bound by it as an ac- tual cabinet minister.
 Any conversation a minister or Q peer may have with the queen on state mat ters must also be kept secret. So must letters to and from the sovereign. And even communications that have passed between suvereigns and ministers of foreign reigns must not be divulged But in case of extreme urgency the queen could, and would, allow a breach of the oath of secrecy-New York Press.

how so-oalled imperialism can do him any harm, but sees how a healthy ex- pansion may do him good. He politely, but firmly, declines to have night mare about trusts.
 The interest of territorial voters as a rule is not so intense as 1t is in the states. However much the result may affect them they are mare onlookers and cannot be warmed into that po- litical excitement which comes only of active participation. Still there is or dinarily enough interest for all prac- tical purposes. It is singularly lacking this year on the democratic side, as was shown at the ratification meeting on Wednesday night. The weather may have had something to do with it, but for some reason it was difficult to ex- tract cheer from the crowd.

w A. Clark, the distinguished sen ator from Montana who is better known in Arizona as the owner of the great United Verde copper mine; is now at Jerome looking over his business interests there. The senator was ex- pected to reach the big copper camp in time to deliver the Fourth of July ora tion, but was delayed at Kansas City long enough to defeat his old time po- litical opponent, Marcus Daly, in the Montana contest before the democratic convention. This delay, while a dis appointment to the citizens of Jerome, must have besn somewhat gratifying to the senator, as it served the purpose of putting him in control of Montana politics.

, TOPICS OF THE HOUR ;

A political protcge of the late Count Muravieff, Prince Oukhtomsky, figures i1 an amusing story that was current on his presentation as Russian envoy to the Chinese emperor. Among the many costly presents from the czar of which he was the bearer was a group of statuary in silver, which had under gone strange vicissitudes before find ing home in Pekin. The original de- sign was an allegorical representation of the emancipation of Bulgaria. But while the artist was at work history was being made and was completed more quickly than the work of art. By the time the latter was finished Prince Alexander of Battenberg had forfeited the czar's favor. and the gift never reached it's destination. The group is now, or was until recently, in Pekin. slight alteration of the accessories having changed the emancipation of Bulgaria from the Turk into the eman- cipation of the Lao Tong peninsula from the Japanese!
 
 Arthur Macy, a clever writer of verses. and one of the members of the New York Omar Khayyan club of America. has acquired two books which are of great interest to Omar collect crs-a copy of Omar's Algebra and F'reiherr won Hammer Purgstah's Anthology of Persian Verse The all g. bra. which is in Arabic, was printed in Paris in 1851. Von Hammers work which is a quarto. published at Vienna in 1918, contains translations into Ger man from 200 Persian poets. and in cludes twenty-five of Omar Khayyan's quatrains. The German. though he translated so much of Omar forty-one years before Fitzgerald translated him. evidently had no high opinion of Omar's merits. He mentions Omar as a famous astronomer.

 There are many fine epigrams and proverbs in Spanish. Many of them the terseness and aptness of the origi- nal. Following are a few of a long list printed by Modern Mexico" which are frequently heard in the sister republic: "He who never ventures will never cross the sea-: There's no gain with out pain; Flies cannot cnt5r a closed mouth; Behind the cross is the devil"; "A cat in gloves will never catch rats; ''To the hungry no bread is dry; "A book that is shut makes no scholar; 'The good laundress washes the shirt first; No evil will endure a hundred years; When the river is passed the saint is forgotten"

The United States is becoming year by year, in a greater degree, the source
 of the worlds suste- FEEDING nance. In the nature
 THE of things this will con-
 WORLD. tinue unless our com
 mercial relations with other countries should be restricted by unwfse legislation. It is shown in a dispatch printed in The Republican this morning that during the fiscal year just closing our exports of provisions. in which meats and dairy products fig ure prominently. amounted to a half million dollars a day, showing a yearly Ancrease of s47, ,OOO, GOO since the last year
 the Cleveland administration, when
 reached in round numbers s133,-
 It cannot, of course, be SUD- posok hat this increase has been caused by greater world demand for this class of articles. In fact, there is no reason to believe that the demand is per ceptibly greater than it was in 1896.
 
 so improved that we have displaced the trade of other countries and no doubt at the same time have invited an in creased use of these products. In that sense it would, of course, be said that the demand had been increased, not a natural, but a forced growth.
 It is said that nations as well as in- dividuals, buy where they can buy cheapest. That is only generally true. all other conditions being equally favorable Trade between nations is more often a reciprocal arrangement. It has been shown by statistics pub lished in this paper from time to time that we have become heavy importers of manufacturers materials, which, by the way, is sent abroad into the world again a finished product These heavy importations of ours are largely respon- sible for our increased exports of pro visions. But suppose an internal law should be enacted in this country similar to the Cleveland tariff law closing our fac tories as they were closed them. Our importations of manufacturers ma terials would come to an end and the countries with which we are dealing would no doubt look elsewhere for their provisions. Or the passage of a bad financial law would no doubt dis turb our trade relations, cutting off this class of commerce.
 So it can be seen how far reaching good or bad legislation may become. Thus law designed or supposed to af- feet only manufacturing interests may indirectly, though in the same degree, l6affect the farmer, the cattle raiser or ~the producer of dairy products.
