PAIN"
The unfortunate tutor was certainly
in a state of pitiable agitation when
we found him in his chambers. In a
few hours the examination would
commence, and he was still in the
dilemma between making the facts
public and allowing the culprit to COM
pete for the valuable scholarship. He
could barely stand still. SO great was
his mental agitation, and he ran to-
wards Holmes with two eager hands
outstretched.
THANK. Heaven. that YOU have
come! l feared that you had given

An instant later the tutor returned,
bringing with him the student. He was
a fine figure of q man, tall 1.-the, and
agile with a springy step and a pleas

glanced at each of us. and finally rest

attempt but few succeed in.

MINING CAMP BARNAcLES.

Ores and Metals.
That class of men who infest com
munlties with the intention of making
Il living at the expense of others, more
worthy, may be discouraged if 'he
community in which they are located
will act as a unit In frowning upon
and treating with contempt, Ivy ostra-
cizing. the professional litigation
breeders
This Individual is harmless until a
property strikes and begins to ship
ore-theu it is, by claiming prior
rights, or location by contention, apex
suits and the like. that the producer
is brought TO a standstill at the very
moment when continuous operation
and production Is necessary, in order
that success may be achieved. This
the barnacle knows when he fastens
himself on the hull OF the successful
mine. BY injunction proceedings and
other legal obstacles he seeks to bring
the other man to a. standstill. That
the litigation breeder has no rights in
the premises he well knows, and very
often he Is aware of the fact that he
will eventually he defeated if the suit
is contested-but ne relies on the fact
that the other party to the suit must
have the money from the ore in sight
in order to meet his obligations ii
order not to tenter bankruptcy-and
| for that reason he drives a bargain for
portion OF the rich claim-very often
for controlling interest. which he
manipulates in most shameless man
ner. betraying again the trust placed
in him by man who was rendered
helpless in the first place by reason Gl
his financial condition. The passage
OF a law to mete out punishment Il
this class OF mining camp pirates, who
menace the future of new camps ant

LOCATING A CLAIM.

The mining laws of most states a0d
territories require tnat the locator
shall. prior TO recording his discovery,
sink a ten-foot hole or drive a ten
foot tunnel or cut in order to prove
conclusivelv the existence of mineral
in place, which work shall not apply
upon the annual labor specified by
United States statute; and that he
shall be allowed a reasonable time
limit (sixty or ninety days. in which
to perform this preliminary work ard
compete the location and record the
location notice.
The method of stalking ont lode
claims varies also more or less with
the different states. but, inasmu"h as
the United States laws require that
the claim shall be clearly marked on
the ground so as to be readily traced
and Identified by permanent monu.
ment. it is a safe precaution in all
cases to make all measurements cor
rectly with a good tape line and set a
wooden stake (say ix4 inches thick,
81 feet long, set IL feet in the
groundD at each angle and at each
side and end center of the claim. Each
stake thus set should be squared on
the four sides, surrounded with pile
or stone or mound of dirt al the
name OF the claim and number OF the
corner clearly designated on each
stake by a steel scribe or indelible
pencil.

PHELPS.DoDGE INTERESTS.

The enormous holdings OF the
Phelps-Dodge syndicate can be better
appreciated when 1t is stated that. In
addition to their interests at Globe,
Clifton Morenci and Bisbee, mines In
Mexico and smclters at Douglas. they
own over 1000 miles of railway, as
well as several coal fields. the princi-
pal one of which is that at Dawson,
just below the Colorado line in New
Mexico. With few exceptions all OF
their properties are reached by their
own line of road, which connects
mines, smelters and coal fields. FRS,
they constructed the FL Paso e. South.
western from Ell Paso to Benson, Ariz.,
and more recently they purchased the
FL Paso e Northeastern. from Ell Paso
to Santa Rosa. and hence on to Daw-
son, and they paid for the latter Sl6,-
100000. and paid in cash When they
constructed the first line of road It
was accomplished without the issu.
ance of bonds-when the road was
completed the bills were all paid--it
did not owe a dollar in the world.
1 Ht utlpS-bouse Ssuuicdler perhaps
handles more copper than any other
firm in the world, for aside from the
enormous production Of its own mines
and mates from numerous smelters it
may be said to be the heaviest pur-
chaser of copper in the world. The
syndicate owns larger main line
of railway trackage than any other
firm in the world, in connection with
its tremendous copper trade.

A FAIR COUNT.

The people of New York City are
now to Witness what we in Colorado
saw year ago-a contested election.
Whatever one may think of Mr.. Hearst
and his party. and Whatever fears
there may be OF what he might do If
he got in there is principle at stake
far more important than the person
ality OF any one man or the retention
of office by any party. II Mr.. Hearst
got the most honest votes, he ought
to be declared elected, no matter what
consequences are feared from his elec
tion. There Is abundant testimony
that the Hearst workers at the polls
were bouhgt up by Tammany at the
last moment-nundreds OF them de
serted on the morning Of election day,
and worked for Tammany instead.
There is other testimony of crooked.
ness in some districts-crookedne
very like what was witnessed In Den
yer year ago, when hundreds of hon
est names were voted on by people
who did not own them, and hundreds
of fictitious names were voted on
also.
The Colorado precedents will be
valuable to the New Workers. AL
ready they have decided to go straight
to the supreme court, over the heads
of the lower courts, so that the time
and expense OF long litigation and
many appeals may be saved. The
cases differ In that In New York the
supreme court had not taken official
jurisdiction over the election before
hand, SO that the criminals can not be
punished for contempt of court; but
the court may take jurisdiction now
