UNPATENTED CLAIMS
Are Not Subjects for Disposal, No
Title Lying in Them

The owners of unpatented ground
have unstable property, if the rul-
ings of the Department of the In
terror are to stand.
Litigation has arisen on the
ground that the vendors CT a piece
of unpatented property could not
secure title to the property.
The case referred to is an action
commenced in the Federal court at
Butte by J. A. Nelson against the
Wood Placer Mining Company of
Revalli county, Montana, for the
recovery of $4,000. The history
of the case, before it came into the
courts, is yet fresh in the public
memory in the Northwest. In Oc-
tober, 1902, a contract of sale was
entered into between the Wood
Placer Mining Company and J. A.
Nelson, whereby the latter was to
purchase certain property for the
sum of 100000. OF this sum $1O,-
900 was paid Immediately and pos
session of the property was given
to the purchaser. On June 1st, last,
Mr.. Nelson paid an additional
$50, 900, leaving a balance still due
of 100000. In the meantime, an
amount, said to aggregate $4,000,
was spent on development work.
The contract of sale, as we are in
formed, called for the patenting of
the property by the vendors.
Now, when the case came up be-
fore the Land Office for patent, the
Secretary Of the Interior, July 16,
1903, refused to grant a patent.
The last payment fell due a short
time ago, and the purchaser, in
stead of meeting it, rescinded, in
writing, his former contract, giving
the vendors repossession of the
property, and making a demand
for the repayment of the $4,000
and the $4,000 spent, on the
ground that the vendors did not
own the most valuable claims

rate on merchandise from Phoenix,

freight from both California and

Santa Fe to Florence at exactly the
same rate per 100 pounds, or in

nix, Tempe and Mesa merchants,
as it is the policy of the Santa Fe
company to give all the important
points along its Arizona lines an
equal opportunity to do busineas.
This is an equitable as we'll as
wise policy, and should enable our
merchants to meet outside competi-
ton. This spirit of fairness on the
part of the Santa Fe management,
should be duly appreciated by our
people.-Blade.

THE HASSAYAMPA

= There's legend, centuries old,
By the early Spaniards told,
OF sparkling stream that lies
Under Arizona skies;
Hassayamra is its name
And the title to it's fame
Is wondrous quality
Known today from sea to sea.
Those who drink it waters bright
Red man, white man, boor or knight,
Girls or women, boys or men
Never tell the truth again.
Though the story sounds, 'twOuld seem
Like an opium. caters dream,
l am soberly inclined
In it much of truth to find
By its premise | account
For very large amount
OF the lying that is done
Every day beneath the sun.
When the banners and the band
Lead the speaker to the stand
Politician, sleek as grease
He proceeds to speak his piece.
And the while we cheer or chafe,
Shows us, if we would be safe,
He must be our guiding lamp
He is full of Hassayamp!
While a vaunting veteran tells
How a hundred battle -hells
Saw the deeds he's noted for
How his valor closed the war,
We are silent, yet we think
He has quaffed the fateful drink;
Naught can his delusion cure
He's Hassayamper, sure.
When a woman seems to guage
With such candid skill her age,
That the net result appears
: Short about a dozen years,
suspect that, now and then
Just the same as do the men
She, unthinking. lets her lip
Take .Hassayampa dip.

The vast value of the work of Thorn

simply incalculable. H has done a work
of such national Importance as entities

found in such prodigal quantities by
the Spanish explorers, were really
of fresh-water origin; and based on
this theory is the belief that numbers
of our lakes and rivers still abound
with pearl-yielding ~unionidae. But, as
Mr.. King says in his "Fresh-Water
Pearls and Pearl Fisheries of the
United States" "the natives ave been
dispersed and the white race, occupied
with other interests and necessities,
took little note of the hosts of fresh
water shells inhabiting the streams and
lakes and did not suspect their power
of producing pearls"
In 1857 the queen pearl was dis
covered at Notch Creek, nea Paterson,
N. j., a pearl that weighed SO grains,
was sold to Empress Eugene for ST.
500, and is said now to be worth four
times that amount of one Pearl
fishing was carried on feverishly for
awhile after the "queen-pearl" discov-
cry, but on the whole with rather in
different results. Finds were made in
the Little Miami in Ohio, and in the
year 1876 pearls to the mount OF 49,
900 were obtained at Waynesville, o.
After 1880 pearl-fishing attracted the
attention of states to the south and
west; Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas
coming to the fore as pearl-producing
states. and Florida also contributing.
In 1889 Wisconsin exhibited a large
consignment of wonderfully colored
pearls, within three months sending
over $40, 900 worth TO New York; one
specimen valued at $500, the colors
pu~rplish-red, copper-red and deep pink.
Other parts of Wisconsin were then
exploited, and thousands of dollars
worth of pearls obtained. But the mus
sci beds became exhausted. and the
pearl fever subsidized in the northwest
In 1897 it broke out in Arkansas, anG
spread to the Indian territory, Mis-
souri,, Georgia and Tennessee. A no.
ticeable feature of the Arkansas. dis

portion of the best pearls lying loose

tom of shallow waters; local belief be-
