In this matter Mr.. Bridges will en-

best lawyers in Seattle are unanimous IN
saying that II Mr.. Bridges desires to

must advertise his intention to do 30 in
exactly the same manner. and for the

Second class shore lands can be sold
and leased by the lineal chain. by which
method Mr.. Bridges according to his
behind-the-door notice. proposes to lease
the Lake Union and Green lake shore
lands.
A special dispatch received from olym-
pfa last night by the Post-Intelligencer,
states that Mr.. Bridges emphatically re-
fuses to talk for publication concerning
the shore lands matter Under this con-
oition OF affairs II is impossible to as
certain by what construction OF the law
ne II attempting to lease the property.
It - believed by lawyers here. however.
that he Is acting under an amendment
TO the tide land law OF 1897, which might
by strained construction be taken to
grant him authority to take the steps he
has In the matter
This amendment Is Of section 80 of the
ret mentioned. The amended section
reads as foile ws:
Sec. 80. Tide and shore lands which
nave not been sold and for which appli-
cations 10 purchase have not been there
tofore Med and are pending. may be leas-
GO m tho same manner as provided for the
leasing OF school and granted lands: pro-
vided. that when application is made for
the leasing OF tide or shore lands OF the
second class adjacent to upland the sane
shall be leased per lineal chain frontage.
ana the United States field notes OF the
meander line shall accompany each APP
plication, as required for the sale OF such
lands. 80
Mr.. Bridges IS. however. Seattle lawyers
say. enough Of a lawyer to know that this
amended section il to be construed in con-
nection with other sections OF the same
act. which. as was shown in the Post-In-
teiligencer of Sunday, plainly provide that

plated and offered for sale before they
can be offered for lease.

WATER AT LEADviLLE.
II IL Not Properly Distributed to Suit the
Miners.

While Leadyille is in every sense Of
the word wet camp, says the Dem
ocrat. and there is hardly shaft but
what needs full complement of
pumping apparatus, there is in some
portions of the district the problem of
water where il does not exist in su-ii-
cient quantities FOR useful purposes.
ON West Fryer hill the leasers in order
Ia get enough for steam purposes have
TO have the water hauled TO them in
wagons. In other portions there are
eases where the mines TO get enough
for steam power, have TO melt snow
and the engineer is engaged part of his
time in shoyeling snow into tank
which also receives the exhaust. The
old Lucky Weber shaft on Brooklyn
heights for some time past has been
used as a well. 1t has a first class
brand of water which is lifted in a
bucket with a windlass and furnishes
an ample supply for domestic purposes
TO the people of that neighborhood.
The Hoffer shaft will be utilized by
the Loder furnace for supply for
the additional furnaces to be put up,
for steam and as a carrier.
The Bon Air water is conveyed to
the Union smelter for steam purposes
The hex uses its water for Il con
veyor of the ashes away from the
boiler rooms.

"As whole, this decision, reaffirm-

completeness and invulnerability of
the title conveyed by a patent of the
United States. and the equally import
tant doctrine of the rights of a valid,
subsisting location on those public min

mining laws apply, is so highly sane
and wholesome that we most earnestly
hope for its confirmation by the United
