that there is only a difference or TWO

Easter week the year previous.
In the week beginning with Easter
Monday. the number OF marriage IL

A gigantic wall has arisen from mine
owners of Colorado and other Western
States because of the ruling of the In
terror Department upon the method of
settling mining claims when there is a
conflict I'm the surveys. No end OF
money is tied up because companies in
terested in mine claims do not know
where they are at" ana vigorous COM
plants are being made daily.
Bnder the existing order OF things. a
man may stake out a claim. have il
surveyed and approved by the surveyor
general of the State IL which il is
located. and then have another man
come along and locate a claim on top
of II and obtain from the courts a de-
cision which says the first claim is not
where it was. but anywhere from 4
quarter OF a mile or nfile TO the north,
east. south or west thereof. This is
Irish. but it describes the situation.
How System Works.
Mr.. Jones finds streak Of ore. He
stakes out a claim. Then he employs
a surveyor TO make the proper survey.
These surveyors are appointed and duly
authorized by the Government, but are
paid by the owners of the property they
survey. When one gets contract he
goes to the surveyor general. who gives
him the authority TO make the survey.
He goes over the ground carefully. sur
veys it and puts UP the monuments and
then reports that the claim OF Jones is
of such and such dimensions and is SO
many degrees in this or that direction
from one of the four corners OF the
township In which it is located This
report. when approved By the surveyor
general Is accepted as official and Is

AsBURY HOSPITAL STAFF CRITI-
CIzEs PROPOSED CHANGE.
Suggestion to Run New Building
Without Staff Arouses Much Dis.
cussion-Plan Held to Be Inprac-
neutrality-suspicious. of One Mind.

q 8 = q { -
The medical staff of Asbury Meth
odist hospital may resign as a body
in case the board of managers, at its
annual meeting, Jan. 20, should de-
eide that, when the new building is
completed, year or two hence, the
institution will endeavor to do with
out staff. Tt has been agreed by
the physicians, at a recent conference,
that If they are not to be perma-
nently retained, they cannot consist
emily tender to the hospital hereafter
their influence, their personal and
professional services, and their pc
cuniary aid.
The suggestion that the hospital be
operated without a medical staff is
said to have originated with Bishop
Joyce, the local head Of the Method
list church, under whose auspices AS
bury is maintained. Whether his adj
cannot be ascertained, the bishop be-
ing now in South Africa. But his
friends believe that his proposal, at
the most, was simply tentative, and
subject to the approval of persons
more experienced than himself in
hospital management. Such persons
agree that the innovation suggested
is wholly impracticable.
The hospital, now at Ninth avenue
new building opposite Elliot park,
the largest structure of the sort in. the
northwest. It will cost s25O,OOo, of
which half has already been ex-
pended.
.'The medical staff has done its
share in contributing to the expense
of construction" said one of the ply
sicians to-day. ct myself gave about
$1,000; others of the staff have made
similar gifts. We have sent our pa
tients to Asbury, we have granted our
services, and we think that our efforts
should not be ignored. If we're go
ing to be dropped, we shall naturally
lose interest in completing the new
hospital
The rumored project would special
ly affect the head of the staff, DR..
F.. A. Dunsmoor, who has held this
position at the hospital for ten years
with notable success. He has not been
discussed separately in reference to
possible changes; but the staff sup
port him heartily. They agree that
he and they will go or stay together.

MISS BAlER
IS CRITICISED.
"U' CIRCLES PERTURBED OVER
SHAPE Show
President Northrop Said Details OF Ar
rangement at Show Should Be Re-
ceived Before Opinions Were
Formed-Dispatches Indicate That
Miss Baier Is One OF the Favorites
at the Show.

8 The fact that a woman student of
the university is participating in the
shape show" in New York is causing
much mental distress in university
circles. Mass Baier's action in enter
ing the competition is severely criti-
cised..
President Northrop was not aware
until this morning that the Minneapo-
lis young woman is university stu
dent and desired to await definite
of the details of the exhi-
bition before forming an opinion in
regard to Miss Baier's part in the af-
fair. He appeared to regard the en-
tire plan of the exhibition with disfa-
vor and wondered at the sanction APP
parently given to it by Minneapolis
people. He expressed his surprise
that any young women of fine feelings
should care to take part in an exhibit
ton of her physical charms, even if
this could be conducted with propri-
ETY.. That, however, he pronounced a
question of taste in which the univer-
slty authorities could not interfere.
Should the verified reports of the ex-
hibition prove a reflection upon the
university and of an Objectionable
character, it would be one within the
province of the university authorities
to take action.
New York dispatch seems to indi-
cate that, despite the belief of Mime
apolis relatives to the contrary, Miss
Baier took part in the Madison Square
show. The dispatches mention the
receipt of a telegram from Miss
Baler's mother asking her not to pose.
and speak Of Miss Baier as one of the
favOrites in the contest.
