A few days ago we received a com.
munication from a gentlemen in Los
Angeles who acknowledges to the au-
thorship of the request for a mining
claim to be used as a dummy in the
formation of a mining company, and
his explanation of the matter is to the
effect that under the laws of the state
OF California company will have to
base its formation on something tangi-
BILE in the way of property and to com.
ply with the law it was necessary for
them to get dummy mining claim;
that the company desiring this mining
has been operating in California for
the past six or seven years and have
rich property; that their check is good
for hundreds of thousands of dollars,
and that the taking over Of the mining
claim was with no fraudulent motive.
Now to us this is rather fishy, to say
the least. How can mining company
become possessed of property until
after it has been legally organized?
And if the company has been in opera
tion in California for several years
what was the object of the dummy?
The fact is that in the organization of
mining company in any state of the
Union it Is one of the requirements of
the law that the company must state
its object aud that the later compli.
ance with the stated object gives them
full power to act and to sell stock to
carry on the business for which it was
organized. Would it not be just as
fraudulent to sell stock on a dummy
with the object Of later purchasing a
good mine as it would to have 10
claim at all? If the company had not
been organized how is title to the
property or any property to legally
pass to it? II the company has prop
erty that they wish to transfer to the
new organization it can be done in Just
the same way that would be required
to pass it over to an individual. The
fact that the men back of the organiza.
tion can draw their check for hundreds
of thousands Of dollars cuts no figure
in the matter. The proposition made
recently to a Kingman gentleman to
. sell to them a mining claim for 50 was,
to say the least, i'll savored and an in.
dication of fraudulent intent. The
impression that the writer seeks to
convey that the laws OF the state of
California presume that promoters of a
mining or other corporation shall sc-
complsh mpossibilities, is far fetched.
The law Of California in the matter of
interpretations is patterned after that
of older states and the older states
require that the com pany be organized
under certain restrictions in the way
of applying for charter and the mode
of granting same, and that when the
charter has been so granted that the
property shall pass to the company
before the issuance of stock can be
made in payment of same or shares in
the corporation can be placed on the
market

Such treatment at the hands of the

to discourage publicists from airing
their acquaintance with the rules of

counter blow, we may perhaps be
pardoned for remarking that General
Funston probably knows more about the
rules of warfare than he does about the
art of speech making. His recent re-
marks detailing the presidents senti-
ments on certain topics would probably
be given to the public by Mr.. Roose-

take the public into his confidence.

the rebellion will kick itself to death,

The April Century
THE OVERLAND contains all in
TRAIL. teresting account--of
an early journey
across the plains, performed (and
written up) by Noah Brooks; who,
some 25 years ago, published in
juvenile magazine much the same
narrative in the form of a boys
story.
Nebraska City seldom has any quarrel
with the great monthlies, but an old
grievance is revived by this article.
The writer speaks of the route he
travelled as if it were the only one
there was, whereas he seems to have
gone out by a most unusual road.
He started from Omaha and went
out the north side of the Platte the
whole way. Comparatively few peo-
pie crossed by the Omaha route in
the early days, most emigrants pre-
ferring the southern routes leading
from Kansas City, Leavenworth and
Nebraska City, and of those who
did, almost none followed the trail
north Of the Platte, insomuch that
many old plainsmen claim that there
was no road there. 1t was the Gus
tom to cross over to the south side,
either at Shinn's Ferry, half way
between Schuyler and Columbus, or
at Fort Kearney. Mr.. Brooks does
not mention the latter place at all,
though he speaks of Grand Island
City and Columbus.
There are few other points in the
article at which the reader may Won
der little. The only term that the
author feels called ON to explain in
footnote is "prairie dog,' which he
tells us signifies "a species of mar
mot" He says some of the buffalo
chips they burned had lain on the
prairie for countless ages; it is hard
to see how they knew, as that inter.
esting coinage was not usually dated.
He says men from Arkansas were
called Pukes and those from Missouri
Pixies. That is not the usual under
standing. Another statement that
seems questionable is that they saw a
spring in the South Pass that divided
it's waters, sending branches to both
the Sweetwater and Green rivers.
There is such a spring in Two-ocean
Pass, south of Yellowstone Lake,
discovered by Captain Jones in 1878;
but none of the contemporary travel
ers or explorers speak of such an
affair in the South Pass region.

When the American people wish a
revision of the Tariff they will ask for
it. They are not asking for anything
OF the kind now They are demanding
a proper regulation and control of mo-
nopolies, the so-called trusts They
are demanding exactly what President
Roosevelt has presented to them-the
trust" issue, to be voted on at the
polls and TO be acted on by Congress.
That is the work i'm the hands of the
Republican party, because it is the
work commissioned to it by the voting
citizens of the United States. Nor can
the regulation of the "trusts" be ac-
complished by tariff revision of any
sort or description whatsoever. Re
vision of the tariff cannot touch the
coal monopoly, for there is no tariff
on anthracite coal Amendments to
the Sherman law can touch them.
They can touch every monopolistic
combination in restraint of trade,
whether or not there is tariff on the
importation of articles in the produce
tion of which it is engaged. And in
this way, direct and positive and sure
way, the Republican party is going to
reach the trusts.
