RUSSIAN MINING LAW.

The mining law in force in the
Russian Empire has as its funda-
mental principle the tenet that
mineral wealth is movable property
and bears no relation to the estate
on which it is found. The right
of the operator to hold the ground
ceases when he shall have exhaust
ed the mineral resources therein
contained. In other words, the
tenure is practically perpetual
lease from the governnent-that
is, absolute title guaranteed 80
long as the small annual taxes are
paid. The provision that the
tenure is good until the mineral is
exhausted is explained by the fact
that until recently almost all the
gold mining of Russia and Siberia
was placer mining, and that when
the gravel had once been worked
over, in was intended that the
operator should not stand in the
way of further development.-C.

Oil Notes.


Several of the state papers lately
have been publishing reports to
the effect that the refinery at
Overton is about to be reopened.
A representative of the Rocky
Mountain Oil company has In-
formed THE TRIBUNE that these
reports are false and that the
company does not intend reopen
ing the plant at present, as it has
a contract for supplying it's oil to
the United Oil company.
These dispatches say that officials
of the Rocky Mountain Oil com
pany are on the ground and that
within two weeks the plant will
be refining oil. AS matter of
fact, an ice plant adjoins the
Overton refinery and this has been
leased to man named Titus of
Colorado Springs.
This refinery is one of the best
in the West and it's equipment is
excellent. Years ago the Rocky
Mountain Oil company pumped
the oil from the wells south of
here to OveIton where it was re-
fined.
The Star Gusher Oil company
which is about to drill on Webster
Park, has ordered plant for sink
ing a we'll and the work will begin
as soon as material arrives This

cern.

Che Reign Of a Fad

S~~~~-- -
is closed but its evil results will tax its
devotees even until the break Of the
new season. The husband who bought
a Panama hat is disarmed. In future
months, and the holidays are not very
remote, he dare not peep when his
wife asks for the bonnet that will
drain his bank account. Yet it may
be some consolation to bark back and
realize that he has kept abreast of the
most virile fad of years, barring ping
pong.
Maybe it is not a fad. Some folks
deny it. These, of course, are to be
numbered with those who bought the
hats on the excuse to their wives that
they would last forever. They cannot
bear to think that something new will
be on the racks next year which will
displace the Panama. Opinion is d.
vided. Only the coming year will
prove what's what. One merchant
says there have been too many imita-
tions. When a man puts a big sum
into a Panama he feels that he stands
among the very elect. To think that
his neighbor, who in verify has less
gold than he, wears a hat identical to
the naked eye, yet in reality an imi-
tation, chills his soul. If he must pay
the price he wants to be on a peak by
himself. And this, therefore, means
a lighter sale of the hats next year.
Another merchant feels just the oppo-
site. Not until this year, he thinks,
have the people been impressed with
the real merits of the Panama and
next year the unconvinced will get
busy with their big bank notes.
The sale of the hats in Lincoln this
summer has been almost phenomenal.
Every halter has been harassed to
death with demands. He in turn has
clamored in vain to the jobbers for
supplies to equal the need. Only with
in the past few weeks has the trade
diminished, but even at that only a
year (when they will be as good as
new).
This good as new plea is what has
done much to make the sale Of the
stock. The hats are truly remarkable
bits of art. Everybody knows that the
most expensive call for the years
earnings of an ordinary man, or over
$500. While none in Lincoln has sold
for over twenty-five dollars and the
most at between SO and SIS. even these
possess qualities that are quite a mat
ter Of amazement.
They can be bent, twisted and
doubled into almost any imaginable
shape. Mould them back again and
there isn't wrinkle or crack or sign
Of damage to show for it. Rain
doesn't touch them. They were made
in water and are used to it. Only
when you strike an imitation do you
get into trouble. Water will betray
it quicker than thinking.
Many of the hats sold as Panamas
in Lincoln were made of grass from
Porto Rico. The genuine article grows
in Venezuela and is of marsh growth.
While that of Porto Rico is very good
material it has not the texture nor the
durability Of the Venezuela article. 1t
sells high enough, however, and at SO
a hat saves many a man $50. A New
York man says that no genuine, bona
fide, honest and truly, Panama hat
can be procured for less than $40. And

Perfection Attained

''Clifton' fancy patent flour is per-
feet flour. 1t is not possible to put
more quality and purity into flour
than our "Clifton" brand contains.
''Clifton" is soft wheat fancy pat
ent. It is made from select wheat,
every grain Of which was grown on
Kentucky soil-the finest wheat in the
wide world. Only the choicest berries
are selected. These are thoroughly
cleaned, and then by a special process
of gradual reduction are converted into
flour. The cream Of this flour is sep
arated and sifted gently through the
finest silk bolting cloth, giving it vel
vety softness seldom found in ordinary
flour. That's "Clifton," and that's
why it is perfect hour-the finest
product expert milling and modern
mill can make from the best wheat
grown.
"Clifton" is flour of quality at a
reasonable price. You can pay as much
and get an inferior flour, but you can
not get a better flour whatever you pay
