Recent Mining Decisions.

mining cases;
Right In mining claims where pur-
chaser has made default. Where a
contract for the sale of mining
claim provided that an intermediate
payment of $4,000 should be made,
and if default was made in any of
the payments the property should
revert, with all improvem ents to the
seller, the buyer assigned his con-
tract to mining corporation, with
out the knowledge or consent of the
seller, an oral demand by the seller
or his agent, on the buyer, requiring
payment or delivery of the property,
was sufficient to entitle the seller to
maintain ejectment as against both
the purchaser and his assignee; there
was no necessity of resembling the
contract and Offering to return the
money that has been paid; nor was
there any necessity TO wait until
final payment was in default; the
provision for reversion on default
was not term used merely to pro-
mote expedition ,of payment, but
made time the essence of the con-
tract. Williames VS.. Long (Cal.), ~
Pac, Rep, Oil.
Not the amount paid, but the val
ue of assessment work determ1ni-
tive. Where, in an action to quiet
title to mining claim, the only evil
dence as to the assessment work of
the parties claiming prior location
was that of two witnesses who testi-
fed that they believed or were of the
impression that they worked Is or
10 days each, but kept no memo
randum of the time, and that such
work was worth at least 800; but
on cross examination they could not
give the date when they commenced
or quit work, and were uncertain as
to the number of days of their SER
vice. And other witnesses testified
that such men worked but nine DAYS.
though they had been paid $108. so
for the work. 1t was held that
finding that such work was not great
er than $50 was proper, and the
property was subject to relocation.

he Is passing fad, not to be com.

His poetry is too pompous, too erudite,
too affected, they say. A very cultured
Florentine patrician voiced the feel.

An Endorsement

III the election OF hon. Vim. Nj. Q.
Dawson as governor Of this state shows
anything at all it shows that the
people are not afraid to trust the re-
publican patty on all vital questions
relating to taxation. Never in the
history OF this state'hss the democracy
put forth such bold front and fought
with such firm determination as 1t
did this time. Bat. the people are
slow to believe willful misrepresenta-
ton OF facts; and after discovering
that the secret of misrepresentinR
the new tax laws was solely to get
control of the various offices the
people decided to trust that party
which has always stood for the
amelioration of heavy burdens.
Now, az the election is over. the re-
publican party should forget the I'M
pleasant things OF the past and torn
its attention towards putting into
effect every pledge it has made to the
people. If there are grevions errors
in the new tax laws as set forth by
the opposition the republican party
stands ready to correct them. Ii this
new system will increase taxes the
republican party will at once fornc-
late a system which when carried out
wall exactly meet the end for which
1t was intended.
Therefore, no one need worry over
cir creased taxation" oppression
or "what not, for the republican
party seeks to relieve the people OF
the verv burdens the democrats de-
clared il has thrown upon them. The
people endorsed the actions of the
reeent session of the legislature believ-
ing that it was for their mutual ad-
vantage, aud that confidence shall
not be BETRAYED. The time will come
when the democratic newspapers and
democratic spell binders will DENY that
thew ever objected to a system of tax
alton calculated to relieve the farmer
aud laborlng man of the heavy bur-
dens which they have been bearing
of years. Under this new system
there will be an equal distribution of
Justice, and each man will be COM
PEELED to paw in preparation to what
he possesses. Is there a man who
objects to this?

Confidence Retained.

Various reasons are assigned by the
leading democrats of the country as
to the direct cause of the landslide at
the recent election. Be the reason
what it may. the people clearly showed
by their votes that they were satisfied
with present conditions; that they
did not want a change; that they were
not afraid of President Roosevelt's
policies; aud that it is wise thing to
let we'll enough alone. No man living
ever received higher communication
of acts we'll performed and duty salts
faotorily accomplished than the in
dorsement which President Roosevelt
received at the polls. Every eonceiv.
able pressure was brought to bear
against him; his character was attack
ed by Judge Parker; he was set forth
as tyrant lie was called a negro
lover and he was the target for pierc.
ing arrows of denunciation but his
personality, his strongest character
istic, doomed far above the vain at
tempts of his adyersaries, and in spite
of all ttis he was chosen the Chief
Magistrate of the nation by a plurality
of nearly two million votes.
Theodore Roosevelt has proved him
self to be a wonder IN every respect.
From his boy hood DAYS he has stead
lily advanced until he has reached tile
topmost height of fame; aud yet lie is
a man of humble appearance, easily
approached ana exceedingly broad
minded. Applause and notoriety are
not his delight; to serve his country
in the very best way lie knows how
is thu great pleausre of his life,
II the next four years of his admins
tration prove successful, whicv they
undoubtedly will 30 down in history al

Case Of Absent-M lndedness.

One OF the clearest cases of absent
mindedness on record was that of lead
ing grocer Of Duluth recently. over the
telephone came an order from wealthy
customer for some oranges to be deliv-
cred during the afternoon. What are
the priees?" asked the customer. "Oh
we have them at all prices, from 20 cents
dozen up" well, I'm not particular
about the price. What l want is the
quality and size Wait moment
please" He went to the box containing
his choicest fruit. selected a large yell
low sample, and FASTENED back to the
phone Holding the orange aloft in one
hand while he grasped the telephone
receiver with the other, he said: will
this kind do?"

Of Italian mc-ality. as the world takm
lola for that of Franco
Italians are. as rule, not prudish or
Puritanical, but they are not as
licentions as the French; they are SIM
pier and very democratic They are
charitable, and not at all cruel and
vindictive, as foreigners would pre-
tend. The best proof of this assertion
Is that italy, excepting Switzerland and
a few states in North America, Is the
only country without death penalty.
The average Italian is charitable
toward the criminal, and II he can find
an excuse to palliate his sins he will
readily do it. 1t seems, though, that
d'Annunzio has been too much even
for their Indulgence; and one reason
for this bitterness toward him Is that
they believe that, owing to his popu-
larity abroad, foreigners take him as
a standard of Italian morality or i'm.
morality. This feeling of antagonism
is so strong that at the first nights OF
his plays there is always a great deal
of kissing, shouting and boisterous
cat-calls, often resulting in the ring
ing down of the curtain before the
second act is over.
1t is a noteworthy fact, says this
writer, that d'Annunzio's fame as a nov
elist is greater in France, Germany
England, and even the United States
than in Italy. The translauons of his
books in those countries are a source
of income never attained In Italy even
by the most popular novelist there
Yet he Is not a patriot In the true
sense of the word.
