premes;s by the jury. In the mining
states the court frequently sits from
one hundred to five hundred miles from
the place where the property is situated,
and has no opportunity of meeting the
witnesses face to face, to judge of their
manner in giving their testimony, or
their character from their conduct upon
the witness stand. All men look,,alike
on paper, and the shifty and vacillating
witness, whose manner would at: once
condemn him in the minds of the court,
is often made to appear from the record
of the testimony in quite a favorable
a light as the witness who is candid and
straight forward in his manner, and
whose demeanor commends him to the
court as a man whose testimony is
worthy of weight and credibility.
1.-THE greatest injustice has frequently
resulted from the present system of
taking testimony before a referee or
other officer of the court under the rule
that requires all testimony, whether OBJ
jectionable or, not, to be taken into the
record subject to the purging of the
record by the court; under the oft-re-
peated but unwise and untrue statement
that the court willdisregard the matters
contained in the record which are not
strictly within the rule of evidence, men
hatter themselves that they can dis
regard such matters, when, as a matter
of fact, the judges are oftetimes the
victims of the same rule as that applied
to other people. 1t is impossible to
disabuse the mind of matters that may
be improperly in the record so as to
leave no impression in the mind of the
court.
Without pursuing this question fur
Their, it must be obvious that the rule is
bad one, and not the proper rule for
the trial of those controversies which
depend upon local conditions and the
existence of facts that are best known
and most familiar to those living in the
vicinity of the property in controversy.
"The courts should not be at liberty
to hold as their will that man SHOULD
or should not have jury trial in cases
of this kind. From the days when such
matters were settled by a miners court
sitting in the immediate vicinity of the
controversy, and hearing the statement!
and testimony of men upon the ground
it has been obvious that the only SAFE
rule by which to arrive at a just deter
mination of the rights of contendinl
parties was trial by jury and the intro
, duction of testimony in the presence o
tribunal, whether it be court o
: jury. There can be no possible objec
ton to defining the nature of an actioi
to be brought into court of an advers
claim in mining case, and this bill Wi
establish uniform rule governing sue
:. cases -

The Congressional Committee on
Mines and Mining recently made the
following report on the Hepburn bill:
Following is the report in full:
''The object of this bill is to harmon
ize the practice in the courts having
Jurisdiction to determine suits brought
pursuant to the provisions of section
1926 of the revised statutes of the United
States in support of an adverse claim
filed in the United States land Office
against an application for a patent for
mining claim. In some jurisdictions
these actions have been held to be on
the equity side of the court, without re-
gard to the form of pleading or the re-
lation of the parties to the question of
possession. In otherjurisdictions it has
been held that where the plaintiff was
in possession he must resort to suit of
equity to quiet title, which is on the
equity side .ofthe court, and where he
is out of possession that he must resort
to an action at law. In the latter ease
he would be entitled to jury trial; in
suits of equity he would not.
"Under the equity rules governing
United States courts the testimony in
equity cases is not taken before the
courts. Witnesses are examined before
an examiner or master in chancery out
of the presence of the court, and the
case goes to the. court in The shape of a
record The questions Upon which the
validity of mining locations is establish
ed generally depends upon the testimony
of the miners and prospectors who were
present at the time of location, or who
have knowledge of the markings of the
claim upon the ground, and very often
depend upon conditions that are only to
be determined by an inspection of tbs

1T IS ELK CITY.

Being sensible Of the suspense and
uncertainty under which the Tribune is
laboring as regards the objective Of the
two rival railroad Companies building
operations, and, realizing the onerous
nature of the burden, we hasten to en-
tighten it by imparting the desired in
formation-it is Elk City.
=. =. =.
Since the recent merger decision the
various roads concerned are placed IN
position where they must get out and
look for business or their rival gets 1t.
They can no longer lay quietly back and
wait for business to come to them with
out an effort on their part. The recent
decision places them in much the same
position as is the roads of Colorado.
They do not wait for tonnage to develop;
down there; they develop the tonnage
themselves by building into the mining
camps as soon as they appear to bepos-
sessed of any merit. We look for the
same conditions to obtain here in the
comparatively near future.

AS to the volume Of freight which the
central Idaho mining camps could fur
nish at this time, it would of course, be
insignificant, viewed from the standpoint
of a.traffic manager, but such was the
caselwhen the Clearwater branch of the
N. P was built. Yet, inthe short space
of three years, this same branch has
become the most profitable piece Of
road operated by the company to-day
1t is, we believe, safe to say that should
the same progressive spirit prompt the
N. P. to extend that branch up the
South Fork of the Clearwater into the
central Idaho gold belt, the same happ.
result would be obtained, only in ;
much shorter time. We have received ;
