Mexican mining law does not recog-
nize "extralateral rights" On that
subject it says 1.-THE unit of conces-
sion or mining shall be solid of indef-
mite depth, limited as to its exterior
boundaries by a section of the surface
embraced with horizontal planes
measuring 100 meters on all four
sides, and in depth by vertical planes
passing through the same.

Affairs at TOnOpah.

George TerrilI, who has recently
returned to Orovile from Tonopah.
tells the Register that Tonopah will
be pretty quiet until spring or until
they get the railroad completed to it.
At present most of the rock that is
being worked has to be shipped out
on wagons and rock that will not go
500 to the ton will not pay to handle.
They have plenty of water for ordi-
nary purposes now and this was
obtained by sinking wells and then
running tunnels to connect the same,
thus forming underground reservoirs.
The water is pumped by steam and
distributed by means of pipes to all
parts of the town. He estimated
there are about 5000 people in the
town, which is a thousand less than
we're there during the rush. He
thinks when the railroad is built not
only Tonopah will be good mining
town, but that several others in that
section will prove good nes.-Oro-

THE "HoLDlNG COMPANY" SCHEME.

Attention is called to the holding
company system by A writer in the
New York Tribune, who suggests that
recent occurrences in the business
world indicate an OVERRIDING of the sys-
tenn. The holding company scheme
Is worked something Ike this:
A company is conducting business
on. let us say, S1.o0o,Go0 capital, and Is
making per cent proii,s with crafty
Ing regularity. Time MAS when men
would have been content with such a
business. They are not row. So Sec
ond company is formed, often OF prac-
ticaily the same msn as the hrsl, 10
guarantee upon the securities of the
first a fixed rate of dividends. AT the
same time the new company issues,
say, SlUo00o0 more stock of its own,
upon which also ii seeks to get divi-
dends Ii the second company is sue
cessiul In paying dividends upon both
these lots OF stock, tflird company ii
formed, which guarantees dividends on
the stock OF the second alfd issues an
other 81 100000 of stock of It's own up
on which IL in turn tries 10 get divl-
dends. There is no reason. save such
ms is found in the earning power OF tbs
business. why the process should not be
COZ. tinuei to a fourth and a fifth conf
rQ.iy, ana SO on 10 what mathamati-
cieas would call the Nth company.
In some cases a single business con-
Germ is thus repeatedly exploited by q
series CT companies. In others several
concerns are united under single
"hoa:ng company" In both cases tbs
essential aim is the same. 1t is 10 gel
several sets of dividends from single
business. Let us continue the SUPPOSE
tltious example already cited. The
original company had actually invested
81 .0o0, 600 capital and earned I per cent
on Ii. The second company guarantees
q continuation OF these dividends, and
also undertakes 10 pay per cent on i.s
own new capital" OF 100000. But
| this latter capital exists on paper only
tIt has not actually been invested in the
business, for the enlargement OF thN
| business and the increase OF Its earn
Ing capacity. The transaction, there
fore, amounts TO an attempt 10 get III
per cent dividends out of business
| that has been paying only Z, or is per
| cent on the original s1,0o0.o00 capital
iOf course, as the earning power of the
business has not been increased. these
Increased dividends can be secured on
llv thru a reduction OF expenses. III

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW
columbia's Chair of Pugilism.

Columbia's Chair Of Pugilsn1.
we are told that the conservative
element among the faculty and stu
dents of Columbia University seems to
doubt the wisdom of President Butler
in signing a contract with Frank Erne,
former lightweight champion pugillst
as head instructor in the art of self
defense in that institution. An aluin-
nus saws the best is none too good Tor
Columbia. and that If boxing is to be u
part of the curriculum, no one is better
fitted to teach ii than Erne. II is
claimed the former champion is q Dig
nified young man, who has polish ana
= better mental pose than almost any
Io.her who could have heen chosen FOR
the position. However some OF the
most aristocratic supporters OF the UNI
yersity are criticisng the so-calieo
chair OF pugilism.
Now Ii will be news to many Sooo
mothers and fathers that in one OF the
largest and best of the colleges IN the
United States 1.-The manly art or SELL
defense" Is taught as part or the ea-
lucation of our young men of 1908. Ana
without any straw splitting we must
bear in mind that pugilsim and pnze-
lighting are not necessarily boxing or
the art of elf-defense.

PROTECTING WORKlNGMEN.

IT Is common practice for democratic
orators to array class against class ana
lppeal to all the prejudices that may
nxist among men who work for othef
men for a wage consideration. Ihe
democratic candidate for governor, MT.
Sullivan is no exception in his meth-
DDS. hence Governor Camnlins IN MS
opening speech addresses 10 him some
very strong remarks in reply 10 Sulli-
vans. contention that protective tar
ifs protect mill owners, but Go not
protect workingmen.
The governor quotes from British
authorities statements ID the effect tnas
American wage workers receive 90 per
vent better pay than British workers

,nough for workingmen to get their
employers TO give high wages at pest
and that what they wapt is tariff laws
that will Increase industry 50 as to
cause the demand for labor to exceed
the supply and then for the profits OF
Industry 10 be large so employers Will
be more willing to give UP share in
increased wages.
He demands of the free trader TO
prove that the opening OF home mar
kets to the free competition of the la
hor of the world will aot tend to bring
the American wage down TO the foreign
level, 10 prove that it Will actually IN
crease the present wage average or TO
prove that the cost of living Will be
materially reduced. Cunmins admits
that 1t costs American laborers more TO
live than 1t does foreign laborers. be-
cause they live better. buy better

maintained just as higa as they arc
now even IL the cost OF living was re-
duced and cites. brief experience with
democratic law under Cleveland
which failed dismally to sustain wages
while it did succeed in reducing the
cost OF living.
Governor Cunlmins began his busi-
ness career at the carpenters bench,
which enables him 10 recall with vivid
ness the workingman's view of the
wage question. That norton of his
speech devoted TO this subject IS worth
the reading of every wage worker who
expects to vote. Friday we will give

When a man is truly brave himself
there is nothing that touches him like
an exhibition Of absolutely unsel1sh
gameness in another. A rush OF adml-
ration for Oncle Jazon made beverley
feel like hugging him.
Meantime the young British omcer
showed a flag Of truce and, with lie
Of men, separated himself from the
line, now stationary, and approached
the stockade AT hundred yards he
halted the file and came on alone, wav-
ing the white clout He boldly adj.
vanced to within easy speaking dis

in with the words. Not while there's

"Ye'd better use sof' soap on i'm.
cap'n.' said Oncle JaZon in English.
"Cussin' won't do no good" While he
spoke he rubbed the doughty captains
arm and then patted it gently.
Helm, who was not half as excited
as he pretended to be, knew that Oncle
Jazon's remark was the very essence
of wisdom. but he was not yet ready
for the diplomatic language which the
old trooper called soft SOAP
Are you the British commander" ~
he demanded.
NO" said the officer, but l speak
for him."
Not to me, sir. Tell your command
er that will hear what he has to say
from his own mouth. No understrapper
will be recognized by me-"
That ended the conference. The
young officer, evidently indignant,
strobe back to his line, and an hour
later Hamilton himself demanded the
unconditional surrender Of the fort and
garrison.
| Fight for ity' Helm stormed FORTH
1--WE are soldiers!"
Hamilton held confab with his Of
fcers, while his forces, under cover OF
the town cabins, were deploying SO
as to form half circle about the stock
ade. Some artillery appeared and was
planted directly opposite the gate, not
three hundred yards distant. One blast
of that battery would, as Helm well

"S'posin' hev' cannon, too, seem

| He set his rifle against the wall ana
with Beverley's help rolled one Of the
swivels alongside the guns already in
position.
! In few minutes Hamilton returned
under the white flag and shouted:
Upon what terms Will you surren-
derY
"All the honors Of war;" Helm firmly
replied. 'sIt's that or fight, and don't
care which,
Hamilton half turned away, as 4
done with the parley. then facing the
fort again he said;

prompt acceptance Of his terms. In
deed the incident is unique in history.
