 The Burlington Gazette says: "Wil- fred Clark's cleverly constructed do- mestic comedy, "A Wise Woman" was presented by a company of first class artists Saturday to two large audiences at the opera house. The afternoon at tendance was almost a record breaker for a matinee. The comedy deals with the hopeless tangles in which two cou- ples involve themselves in trying to conceal their marital relations, and with the Imaginable situations which result from the presence of an uniden- tiied baby. The cast includes an art ist, his friend. his guardian, his wife, his ward, his tilted sweetheart and the baby A pleiades of more competent players have not appeared together in

As a matter of course if the claimhold- CT ceases to comply with the law re- garding claims so located, his rights in the estate cease and the claim re- Verts to the public domain, and is thea subject to relocation by any person, a citizen of the United States. The min CTS title to his unpatented claim is founded upon the law of possession. In the early days of mining there was no other way of maintaining posses sion of mining claims than by comply ing with certain laws and require . Inents. These local laws, rules and customs came, in time, to be the foun- dation of the mining law as it exists at present In establishing rights un- der the mining law the fact was rec ognized that no person could enter upon a claim legally held by another, on the plea that he had no title. as the title was vested in the government. The fact of possession was considered sufficient evidence of title.
 To be in possession does not involve the necessity of an actual residence upon the mining claim. If a mining claim be legally relocated upon the public domain, and all the acts per formed in connection with such loca- tion as are required by the federal statutes, state and local laws, the To- cator is said to be in possession. and he has a legal title to the claim to the exclusion of everyone else-even the government--and he may maintain this right so long as he complies with the requirements of the law.
Arizona republican., 1904-04-11
TITLE TO UNPATENTED CLAIMS
It Is Absolute so Long as Annual Work
 Is Performed.

There seems to be an impression among many that unpatented mining locations are not subject to taxation the idea seeming to be that as the gov ernment has not passed title by patent to the locator, the title rests in the government, says the Mining and Scientific Press. It is not easy to de- fine the nature of the estate acquired and held by the possession of valid mining location, but from the early his tory of mining the title acquired by miner to his claimNby location was ab- solute so long as he complied with the statutory provisions. The claim was recognized as real property, was liable to sale on execution and was subject to taxation. With passing years this idea has not changed materially, nor at all.
 X mining location properly made. and upon which all the requirements of the law have been complied with, is property in the strictest sense of the term, as much so as a patented claim.

can cotton being longer, thus giving

 however, sells at a lower price than
 that of the United States, and there

 must remembered that Japan, with her small cultiva ble area, has a popu- lation of 44,S05, ,937, and must therefore devote most of her arable land to the production of food stuffs, while her na- tural products of silk and tsa are so much in demand the world over that | they are not likely to be displaced for cotton, which can ba so readily brought from other and comparatively adjacent countries. Cotton manu- featuring in Japan has, however, l grown very rapidly, the total number of spindles in 1899 being 1,17O, 1927 against 5.4jG in 1863. It is thus ap- parent that Japan will continue to purchase from other parts of the world ] large proportion of tho raw cotton which her rapidly growing cotton mills will consume, and as the cotton from
