You will understand that the fore
going are in the nature of first i'm
pressions, and that the commission
would not feel precluded by anything
herein said from modifying the News
above expressed in deciding an actual
controversy after hearing both sides.
The commission appreciates the dill
ficulty of applying the hard n fast
rules of a statute TO unlike and chang
ing conditions. and is not infrequentiy
embarrassed by the want OF discre-
~tionary authority. We belive that these
recent amendments will prove highly
efficient in their operation, because we
are. confident that the law in its pres
ent form Will be supported by prevail
ing sentiment. and that i'm the efforts
to enforce it the commission will have
the cooperation of railway managers
generally.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA report
is current here today to the effect that
the administration yesterday sent a
warning to Colombia that if there was
any attempt to invade Panama it
would not only be resented, but if nee
essary repelled by force of arms. The
story is not confirmed at the state de-
partment, but it is admitted by officials
that should occasion call for specific
warning to Colombia such a message
would be sent.
Howard Ames who last year made a
long report on the health condition of
Colon made a trip up the Arato river
where it is rumored the Colombians
landed, was at the bureau of naviga-
ton this morning and conversed with
Admiral Taylor long time.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. Interpretations
for establishing the stock yards and
packing house industry on this side of
the river, and for launching an enter
prise which is regarded by stockmen
and packing house managers as the
opening move in a fight to a settlement
between the cattle-raiser and the So
called beef trust, have been quietly
completed in st. Louis within the past
few days.
The Independent Stock Yards COM
pany has been organized in St. Louis
and will be in operation by the first of
the year. The ST. Louis Union Pack
ing company, closely allied with and
to a large extent dependent upon the
stock yards company, will also begin

concerns will occupy the site of the

SOME INTERESTING DATA
CONCERNING MINERAL ENTRIES
The Greater Volume of this Business in the
Local U. s. Land Office was Handled
During the Past Five Years

Since that date the number of applica-
tions have increased to ia
The first claim upon which final
proof and payment was made was the
Molten Lode" entered by William
King ct al, of Murray, Idaho Ter, on
November %, 1885
Up to November %, 1898 only ten
mineral proofs had been made in this
district upon which final certificate and
receipt were issued. Up to the present
date the number of proofs made upon
which receipts have been issued has
reached eighty eight.
The above shows that the larger VOL
ume of business in the land Office here
in mineral entries has been transacted
, since 1898, which show the wonderful
growth of the mining industry in this
section, which has extended through
period of five years.
| OF all the mineral patents issue from
the time of the first entry to the pres
ent day, the government have sold
total of 3,5419 acres of mineral
ground, receiving in return $13,S44.so-
The acreage of quartz and placer is
nearly equal, but the figures show that
the quartz properties sold, equal the
placer by a little over 42s acres.
The correct acreage of the quartz
lodes for which patent was issued, is
1,9S5.720 acres and of placer 1.556.1S0
acres.
