BILL TO HELP
MINING INTESESTS
Senator Stewart Introduces
Concurrent Resolution
To Define Laws Clearly, Aid Develop
ment Work and Discourage
All Monopoly.

Senator Stewart has introduced in
the United States senate a concur
rent resolution of the legislature Of
Nevada which touches upon mining
claims and the regulation of their de-
velopment. The resolution was re-
ferred to the committee on mines
and mining of which the senator is a
member. The bill if passed will have
vital effect upon the mining inter
ests of the country, and there is
every reason to believe it will be
adopted.
The main points of the resolution
are: That the congress of the United
States be requested to enact laws
for the forfeiture of the loca tions Of
those holders or claimants who fail
to do the assessment work required
by the statues of the United States
to be done yearly on the claims held
by such claimants;
That the congress of United States
be requested to open all lands held
under patents other than agricul-
tural patents to development by
miners, such miners to pay for actual
damage done by them to and upon
such lands;
That the congress of the United
States be, and is hereby, requested
to more clearly define the powers Of
the various states to enact legislation
concerning the location of mining
claims, preliminary or location work
development work, and forfeiture
resulting from failure to do such
work;
That the congress of the United
States be, and is hereby, requested
to enact legislation of a nature to
encourage actual development of min
ing lands and to discourage the hold
ing such lands merely in the hope of
sale, more or less remote; to place
some limit upon the number of claims
one locator may hold on one lode or
vein or in one mining district, and
Incorporating into mining patents a
condition that land held under such
patents shall be developed to some
extent or forfeited to the government
of the United States.
Mr.. Stewart also presented a joint
resolution relat tive to the adjustment
Of the limits Of the Pyramid Lake
Reservation, which was referred to
the committee on Indian affairs, OF
which Senator Stewart is chairman.

A Correction,

On the fourth page of this issue
appears an account of the new stamp
mill being constructed by Charles
Christman on the ground of the King
Tonopah company. The article,
which was con tributed to our col
umns, states that the mill is in the
vicinity of Gold Mountain. This is an
error which we wish to correct, the
plant being situated about one mile
northeast of the town on the King
Tonopah company's property.

RED FIRE PROGRAM A FlzzLE.

Chicago. Sept. 26,-The centennial
celebration Of the founding of this city
was formally opened tonight, when a
ton or two Of red fire was burned on
the street corners in an attempt to give
q realistic imitation Of the great Chi
oago fire.
Tonight's conhagration was not ex-
actly the success hoped for, because of
the terrible storm which prevailed
throughout the time set for the burn
ing, Rain fell in torrents, the wind blew
a gale and nearly everybody save the
man whose business it was TO feed the
red fire sought shelter indoors. Between
the wind, which blew his powder away,
and the rain that soaked the balance
of it in 30 seconds, the red fire man
had difficulties of his own. Nothwith-
standing all this the result was fairly
satisfactory.

gon, Niil be formally charged before
the state Bar Association with the
crime ~ perjury, aad that body win be
asked % have him dIsAafred.
William Il, willis. one Of the oldest
legal practitioners IN the state, prefers
the charges. which are to be died inn
medintely with the grievance commit
tee OF the bar association. II alleges
that Mr., Crawford, IN case in which
he was the defendant, perJured himself
while tes,itying In his own behalf.
The charges TO be Aled with the bar
association are supported by the af-
fidavii OF Judge Wills and by mass
OF documentary evidence, including an
Official transcript OF the testimony
which embod!es the alleged purJured
statements.
II the charges are sustained they are
expected TO result IN the iisbarment OF
the general.
shortly after Mr.. Crawford was nonl-
mated Tor attorney-general In 1909, ru-
mors became current that he had been
guilty Of giving perJurcd testimony,
but the story did not receive general
eredenee, bsing resaried merely as
campaign attack. But the accusation
has assumed positive form and Is made
With so much circumstance and with
such an array OF evidence that II can
scarcely be ignored. Judge Willis says
that he Is prepared to appear at any
time before the grievance committee OF
the bar association to support mis-
charges.
The grievance committee OF the bar
association is composed of Judge IL, II,
Northrup, chairman. \. c, Emmohs,
secretary. A. King Wilson and War
rem Thomas. Under the constitution
and bylaws OF the bar association 1t
is their duty TO investigate all charges
rejecting upon the integrity or profess
slonal conduct OF attorneys rracticing
In this state. II they find the charges
are sustained by satisfactory evidence
and il the offense charged is sufficient
ly grave, disbarment proceedings fol-
low.
For more than so years Judge
Wits has been resident OF Roseburg,
Or. and during large part of that
time he has been actively engaged in
the practice OF law, Some years ago A.
M.Crawford went to Roseburg and was
admitted to Judge Willis Office, When
he came he was stranger without
clients, or business acquaintance, and
he acted for a time as the assistant for
the elder attorney. Finally as Craw-
ford acquired some business Of his own,
they frequently conducted cases to-
gether. sharing in the fees. These ami
cable relations continued for several
years, but finally ended In disagree
ment over the fes in case which they
had conducted Jointly, and Judge Will
lis finally sued Crawford, asserting that
he had received lager sum In fees
which he had 'ailed to divide or ac-
count for. 1t was in this litigation
that Crawford gave the, testimony
which Willis now says was erJured.

VITAL TO THE NEW CABINET
Premier VIII Delay Its Recon-
struction as Long as There
Is Any Chance of Mil
(. ner's Acceptance.

London, Sept. 26.--The report was
current here this afternoon that Lord
Miner had accepted the colonial sec
retaryship, owing to pressure brought
upon him. Lord Milner has not accept
ed the colonial secretaryship. 1t is
learned, however. that he contemplates
leaving Carlsbad, Germany. for Eng
land for the purpose of conferring with
Premier BaIfour. and that he is likely
TO arrive early next week.
Lord Miner told friends only few
days ago that he would remain on the
continent for a long rest, hence his ar
rival in London win doubtless give
rise to many reports Of his acceptance
of the colonial secretaryship; but 1t
viii probably be several days before
Lord Miner himself can definitely de-
eide whether or not he can see his way
clear to overcome the difficulties hich
prompted him to refuse the offer.
It is learned that Mr.. Balfour regards
Miner as vital TO the success Of the
cabinet, and he is willing to postpone
the reconstruction OF the ministry in
definitely SO long as there is chance
OF getting Miner to accept the vacant
post. II after personal appeals, Miner
persists in his refusal. the Earl of Shel
borne will probably take over charge
Of the colonial Office. though all of the
remaining members of the cabinet
frankly say the Earl of Shelborne's re-
moval from the admiralty would be
a serious disadvantage to the govern
ment.

In France They Root Out Truffles for
the Gardener.
All boys know that a dog is a great
aid to the sportsman, but not many OF
them would think that a pig could be
of much use in hunting. Yet In
France pigs are used in hunting
trufies, a delicacy for the table which
Is found at the roots Of oak trees.
When a farmer decides to go hunt
ing for trufles he takes his pig and
piggie goes smiling about with his
nose to the ground just as a dog does
when he follows the scent. When he
finds a trufde he begins to burrow in
the loose soil with his snout. Before
he can take the truf1e, however, the
farmer pulls him away, but gives him
a few acorns by way of compensation
AS soon as he has eaten the acorns

a novel stratagem for finding out the
defaulters.
He called a meeting of all the
cyclists in the district for the pre-
tended purpose Of forming a local
touring club, which was to be inau'
gurated by a grand free banquet al
the expense of the promoters of the
movement. The meeting was largely
attended, and about 800 cyclists hand
ed in their names. Next day some
ffty-six of these were astonished tc
receive notices that unless they
paid their bicycle tax at once they
would be prosecuted for failing to de

MY COMRADE.
By Theodore Roberts.

] knew him by nc mark at all
On brow or coat or varied nanos.
No single clan can compass him
My comrade out of many lands.
And yet l ken him easily;
Young Dick l met when ways were
glad,
And now I pledge a health to him
For all the joyous days we had.
By fires that smouldered in the rains
Archie and I were comrades true,
And yet his work was not my work
His knowledge not Of things I knew;
But we, with open hearts, could share
Tales of our sorrows, and our fun,
And dry our kits at one small fire
When daylight and the march were
done.
But wherefore name him? Here and
there
l find him as the season turn
The man whose laughter does not jar,
The man whose questions do not
burn.
No surname holds the magic spell;
Nor any rank; nor wise degree;
He must be Of the seeing eye,
Quick heart, and the ~unbending knee.
Maybe he paints-maybe be fights!
All round the world l hold mis-
hands,
And pledge a life long health to him
My comrade out Of many lands.
