PLANTS FOR ARID LANDS.

Thomas III. Kearney, of the United
States Government bureau of plant
industry, has arrived on the coast from
Washington to study what plants are
best suited for growth on reclaimed
lands. Much of the latter is aikali in
character and Mr.. Kearney has stud
led plant life on similar land in for
eign countries, having been sent to
those places for that purpose by the
government. He has been studying
reclaimed lands in Nevada and in the
valley and, before return
ing east, viii visit the Salton and Yu-
districts in the south. 1t is his
intention to make a report for the
guidance of c~ultivators of such land.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1905-09-08
SAD BUT TRUE.

Since the completion of the broad
gauge on the Carson g. Colorado rail
road to Sodaville, and the connection
with the cutoff above Hawthorne, the
company have practically moved ev-
erything from Hawthorne, says the b.
die Miner-lndex. This places the
nearest station eight miles further
through the heavy sand for Bodie
freight and passengers. At the pres
ent passengers and freight are dumped
on the desert, with the sand, sagebrush
and coyotes; the incoming passengers
to Bodie take their chances to get to
Hawthorne, possibly gets a ride, better
that he will get to walk that distance,
and do his own conniving about his
luggage.
Wells Fargo & Co. have arranged a
pony express to carry express matter.
The mail is carried on a handcar by
the Chinese track crew to comply with
their agreement with the government.
This is al ~abominable outrage per
petrated by a railroad superintendent
on an innocent public to relieve his
spite on the Hawthorne community,
and the people of Bodie. Lundy and
Bridgeport are compelled to suffer the
outrages of the uncertainties, because
happened to be the nearest
railroad station; but certainly Mr.. Full
revenge On Hawthorne ought not
to Inconvenience Bodie; as sure as
follows day, such conditions can
not exist long; if the Oregon Short
Line does not care for the traffic, it
will be but a little further to the
Virginia and Truckee railroad at Gard
nerville.

Late Decisions of the Secretary Of the
Interior in Mining Gases.


1.-THE question whether an adverse
claimant has exercised reasonable DIN
geuce in prosecuting to final Judgment
a suit instituted under the provisions
of section 1926 of the revised statutes,
is one for determination by the court
in which the suit is pending, and not
by the land department"
Davis. ct al VS.. Mcdonald, ct al,
SO l.. d., GAL.
1.-The rejection of the land depart
ment of an application for patent to a
mining claim, because of failure to es-
tablish the presence in the land in
volved of mineral deposits of such ex-
tent and value as to justify the issu-
ance of patent, does not amount to a
determination that the location upon
which the application is based is in
valid.
"'The Judgment of a court OF COM
petent jurisdiction, pursuant to section
1926 of the revised statutes, goes only
to the question of the right of posses
SION of the land in controversy, as be-
tween the parties litigant, and it re-
mains in every Ease for the land de-
partment to determine all other ques-
tions touching the right to patent.
"A placer claimant who, an the
strength of his placer location, prevails
in an adverse suit under section 1926,
revised statutes, against an applicant
for patent to lode claims within the
placer limits, may take title to the
lcdes under the judgment roll, if at all,
only as lodes with a placer; and if
the placer claim is not of patentable
placer character, the lodes are not in
that situation and as such available to
the placer claimant.
eff the land embraced in the placer
claim be found to be non-placer In the
patentable sense, so that the placer
claimant cannot take the legal title
thereto, the basis of his claim to the
lode disappears and no prejudice to
the claim of the lode applicant can
have resulted from the judgment of
the court awarding the placer claim
ant the right of possession of 'the
ground in controversy as part of the
placer, in which the lodes are.
can application for placer patent
relative tn the date of the filing o +
which the question of the known ex-
%istence of lodes within the placer linn
its is to be determined is one which
may result in the acquisition of title. y

MORE LIGHT On LOOMS
Said 10 Have Assisted Men Who
Secured Him Place

A special dispatch to the San
Francisco Chronicle under date
of Sept. SAYS; The Herald
says: As result of dispute
between the minority and MAJ Or'
ity holders in the Drnioco Com
pany, Limited, claimant to the
famous Manoa concession, fur
Their disclosures OF Il senSa ton
al character. it is said. concern
ing the Venezuelan concessions
bid fair to receive thorough ven
tilation in the courts.
Not the least interesting phase
of this internal discussion in the
company is that they have
to light the prominent part play
ed by the interests identified with
the Orinoco Company Limited,
and associated with some Ohio
Republican politicians, in further
ing the appointment of Francis
B. LOOMS, now Assistant Secre-
tary of State, to the Venezuelan
mission in 1897. While the cam
paign to secure the post for
LOOMS was under way volumin-
Gus correspondence was ex
changed, chiefly between Jas. A.
Radcliffe of Brooklyn, Chas. j..
Kurtz and LoOmis. This disclos-
es. by inference at least, that
among Loomis 'pushers an
understanding existed as to the
exploitotion of the Venezuelan
concessions. One reason for the
activity of these gentlemen on
behalf of LOOMS WAS their i'll
terest in Venezuelan Jobs.
They desired an American Min
ister at Caracus who would be
friendly. Letters indicate that
Loomis, when Minister at caruc.
AS. apparently looked oyer the
ground carefully and kept his
friends posted as to the prospects
in the country. He predicted the
gold boom aud the like, and
gave other information such as
spectators and promoters wei
come when coming from an
American Minister.
