The Taylor Park Mining com
pany, in this county, built ditch
16 miles long, and to protect its
rights to the ground, located a
placer claim sixteen miles long and
fifty-two feet wide, containing
nearly 1O2 acres. A part of this
placer crossed surveyed legal sub
divisions, and in defiance OF the
statute that placers must conform
to legal subdivisi ons, the small
strip above mentioned was only
taken. The Secretary OF the In
terror, in approving the land office
decision, says: at is clear that
congress never contemplated the
location and patenting of any such
placer claim as the one involved in
this case. A placer claim l6 miles
long and about 81 feet wide is be-
yond all bounds of reason, and the

duced such good results that /

government, of which the people
are proprietors. Many of his
methods have been displeasing to
a great many people, but the re-

of the country-caused a majority

Persons who imagine that the
history of Wall Street is solely
chronicled in the financial columns
of the daily press make very SER
ious mistake. Regarded as an in
stitution, Wall Street creates and
executes schemes of gigantic pro-
portions, which, in their ultimate
development, hardly bear a single
tag of the money market. : Wall
Street, too, has opinions on all
national and international ques-
tions, opinions that are neither po-
lScal, diplomatic, sociological, nor
e,eh economic, but which combine
all four elements in an ideal pro-
portion. Thus it is that no one
who desires to have a broad and
thoroughly comprehensive idea of
the great questions of recent days
can afford to ignore the opinion of
Wall Street.

FIRST FRUITS OF REPUBLICAN
SUCCESS.

The following morning after the
election the stock exchanges in
this country and in Europe showed
unusual animation and substan-
tial appreciation in securities due
to Republican success in the ma
tional campaign. Not alone his
own people, but those of other ma
tions accepted the reelection of
William Mckinley as guarantee
of peace abroad and confidence at
home.
The outside world have come to
recognize that the Mckinley ad-
ministration stands for conserva-
tism and rare judicial acumen. Its
able conduct of the Spanish war
and later it's eminent ability in
dealing with complex Chinese af-
fair have forced the civilized world
to admit the strength of this re-
public andits efficacy in diplomacy.
In the Chinese matter unwilling
tribute was exacted from the
enemy in the position taken by
this country, position that fore
stalled much bloodshed.
In domestic affairs President
Mckinley has the entire confidence
of the people. Even lis political
enemies rely implicitly upon his
judgment in whatever he under
takes, knowing that plain, shrewd
American sense, and not a desire
for pyrotechnical displays, is his
guide. Therefore it is not at all
surprising that securities of all
kinds took an upward trend as
soon as his reelection was as
sured.
In less than four years in which
this country has been guided by
Mckinley, the nation has taken
wonderful leaps in trade affnirs.
Ii is today the greatest power in
world economies; it has increased
its own trade at home to the exclu-
sion of importers, and has become
the greatest factor in the markets
of the world. Within the last few
years the manufacturers of this
country have taken possession Of
important enterprises every
where and New York has super
seeded London as the financial
center of the world.
The policy to be pursued by the
President during the next four
years will be such as to secure the
approval of the majority. As Mr..
Mckinley does not believe himself
to be infallible, there may be
some concessions. There is work
to be done at home and abroad and
victory will not interfere with the
habit MIR. Mckinley has practiced
of feeling the pulse Of public SEN
timent.

feet with which to find shorter
route to India, he little dreamed of
the great land that awaited his
coming on the other side of the
Atlantic. But after he had re-
turned, and it was proven that a
ship could sale for weeks on prac-
tically the same course without
tumbling into space, other marin
ers did not hesitate to undertake
the voyage.
Consequently, in the year 1912,
Ponce De Leon set out in search
of his tabled Fountain of Youth"
That he returned to Spain "a
sadder but wiser man" to die,
crowned only by his locks Of sill
vered hair, are facts we CLEAN from
history.
In 1917 Cordova discovered Mex
leo, bringing home news of the
wonderful cities he had seen; of
their wealth of gold and silver,
with what information he could
obtain as to the defenseless condi-
ton Of the inhabitants.
Adventures, buccaneers and pi-
rates were now scurrying across
the ocean, ell determined on plum
dering the new found land of its
wealth, OF which the returning
voyagers had given such glowing
accounts.
Cortez sailed with an expedition
Of ten vessels and six hundred men
from Spain in 1919, for the con-
quest of Mexico. Two years later
witnessed the overthrow of the
Montezuma.
Then followed the slaughter of
the Mexican rulers and thousands
of the people; the looting of the
ancient capital of the Aztecs, while
fire and sword broke down better
civilization than the Spanish ever
built elsewhere than in Spain.
Ten years later Fizarro, a Span
ish adventurer, with band of
reckless cavaliers. waged war on
the Incas of Peru, which was at
that time great empire. Cuzco
was the seat of government, stu
ated on the remote headwaters Of
the Amazon, II 800 feet above sea
level. It was grand and mag
nifcent city OF churches, palaces
and temples. The latter included
the famous Temple Of the Sun,
richly adorned with gold and sill
yer ornaments.
But the free-booters won
the day, and thus perished
another race of people, whose his
tory would today be worth more
than all the gold secured by the
Spaniards at their downfall. Here
it is that we get the old legend Of
the golden chain, weighing thou
sands of pounds, which was thrown
into the lake when the people
despaired Of repulsing their assail-
ants.
De Soto in 1911 landed in Flor
ida and commenced the search for
gold in North America. He trav-
ersed over a greater part of the
Mississippi Valley in search of
precious metals, and his treatment
of the Indians, in his efforts to
compel them to tell where they
obtained the few gold ornaments
they wore, de6es description. He
discovered the Mississippi river in
1912, and died near its mouth. At
midnight his disheartened follow
ers sunk his body in the sullen
waters of the great river.
Thus ended, devoid the results,
De Soto's expedition, whose great
est achievement, it has been said,
was the discovery of his burial
place"
From De Soto's time the har-
vests of the Gold Hunters de-
creased until we find that colonial

Minister WI delivered at the State De-

which gives to Lii Hung Chang extraordi-

referring the proposed terms to the en-
peror This would seem to clear away
some of the questions which have arisen as
to the ability of the veteran viceroy to
speak for China in the forthcoming coun-
ellis over her future. There has always
been a justifiable suspicion of China in this
matter of the credentials of her ambassa-
doris and special ENJOYS. She has not yet
fully learned the lesson of governmental
responsibility in dealing with other powers.
The recent troubles may, however. have
awakened her somewhat to the fact that
she is obliged. to preserve her integrity, to
conform to the usages Of modern interna-

MIX AdulteratiOn.

The renewed investigations by the health
office into>the quality of the citys milk call
attention once more to the Importance of
this method of guarding the public health.
There is more despicabe crime than the
adulteration of the milk supply 1t is no
less than wholesale murder Yet the pun
ishment for this crime is sadly inadequate.
and until recently it has been most difficult
to detect and overtake the perpetra tors.
Chemical science has, however provided
means of detection in recent years and it
is possible to follow the practice in
detail. and TO know precisely by what means
the cheaters pollute the supply. There are
several ways of detracting from the quality
Of the milk. 1t Ray be adulterated with
water, lowering the proportion of nutri-
ment. 1t may be skinned. thus robbing it
of its chief value. When threatened with
souring, by being kept too long unused. it
may be restored to normal appearance
and pass casual inspection. but the process
destroys its food quality entirely.
The practice of Swimming milk and then
building il up to the semblance of purity is
particularly criminal. The skimming makes
the milk blue and thin. BY the addition of
certain coloring matters, harmless in them
selves, the milk's original color is restored.
hasten the souring of the milk. To check
this process formaldehyde is added this
being the most powerful preservative of
animal matter and products known to
science. 1t is no less than embaiming fluid.
The embalmed milk will not digest in the
stomach. II gives no nutrition. for all the
nutriment has been taken from il. 1t is
therefore direct poison TO the infant to
whom it is fed The little one cannot ah-
serb the ndigestible stuff and dies in many
cases of acute indigestion. or is literally
starved to death. while being fed normal
quantities Of what the parents consider
healthful food. There is no accurate means
Of knowing how many children are thus
killed annually through the cupdity of dis
honest dairy men.
The District is virtually the pioneer in the
preservation If the milk supply from such
contamination. II has materially reduced
the evils attendant upon IN impure supply
But II needs more stringent laws and more
adequate equipment in the inspection de-
partment to enable it to reach the desired
standard which will absolutely prevent
these N1oles lie murders of lives and CON
situations. There can be no temporizing
with 50 important a matter. 1t IS far more
- the point that everything possible be

government for a season. although the
provincial governments are apparently
working about as usual. The imperial
power Is vested still, OF course. in Kwang
Su. and the foreign governments will rec
ognize only him In their negotiations Yet
1t Is inevitable that when the time comes
to prepare the general international plan Of
reorganization necessitated by the recent
revelation of China's governmental weak
ness. the powers shall proceed independ-
emily and prescribe remedies for the exist
ing evils without regard for China's wishes.
Thus, even though Ii Hung Chang should
go before the agents of the powers bearing
Enthusiastically sincere credentials, he will
appear only attorney for the celestial
government. pleading for the preservation
of her integrity and for the recognition Of
such specific individuals in power as he
may choose to favor. To the extent, how
ever that his credentials are trustworthy,
China will be accorded a personal repre-
sentation in the deliberations over her flu
ture. 1t will be far more satisfactory on
all accounts for her agent in the negotia-
lions to stand for what remains today of
the imperial authority.

The War StamD Tax.

In his letter of acceptance the President
says:
Unless something, unforeseen occurs to
reduce our revenues or increase :
penditures. the Congress ar it's next session
should reduce taxation very materially"
This may be interpreted as virtual
promise to recommend to Congress the re-
peal of the war revenue taxes, especially
the stamp tax features of the existing law.
There is u very general demand for this
step in all parts of the country The an
Eoyances ana the burdens of the war stamp
taxes are being felt now in a measure
which many interests conceive to be out of
proportion to the government needs. The
deficit is disappearing under the influence
Of the additions to the revenues caused by
the stamp tax. The customs receipts are
increasing. the expenditures are resuming
normal proportions IL is therefore en-
tirely justitiable to expect that the Presi-
dent will be able to fulfill this promise.
