agreement between Russia and China

moment, but it Is felt that there IL
every prospect of a consummation Of
the agreement, unless the other pow

hundreds of lapsed claims, unsold

and make application for the ground
gets it, until fraud has been shown.
He may really be the tenth man who
staked the claim by actual time, but
he must swear that he saw no other
stakes on the ground when he
staked. Some of the unfortunate fel-
lows who went out misread the Of
fetal notice and staked claims that

lamation. Their four days vigil In a
temperature 40 degrees below zero
