lands set apart as mineral thrown OPP
en- to settlement on August 18th, the
same date that other lands are to be
opened. He included a provision car
rying this into effect in the proclama-
ton for the opening, but the legal di-
vision OF the department of the inter
ior held that, under the law, the min
eral lands could not be opened to ex-
ploration and entry until sixty after
the opening of the agricultural lands.
The secretary of the interior, in rem
dering a decision on This question,
stated in a letter dated June list, 1906,
to the commissioner of the general land
office, the following:
Commissioners Position.
you state that the proclamation fol-
lows the plan adopted in the opening
of other reservations under similar
statutes except that it is proposed to
open a part of the coded lands (describ-
ed in the -proclamation) to mineral ex-
p~loration during the period of regstra-
ton and to mineral location on and az
ter the date upon which the reserva-
ton will be open to agricultural en-
tries, each mineral claimant to be re-
stricted to one location and entry dur

The Denver Story.

The Denver Story.
1.-The mystery deepened when it was
known that Mr.. Watkins received a
letter last Monday, written jointly by
the wife and sister, telling him that
they were tired of visiting and asking
him to come to Denver Friday and
take them back home. He immediate
ly wrote them that he would arrive in
Denver Friday in time to take lunch
with them, and that they would leave
for home the afternoon of the same
day. He wrote them not to meet
him at the train; that he had a bust
ness matter to settle, which would
probably take him some time and that
he would see them at their apartments
just as soon after as possible.
He Waited and Waited.
when he reached their apartments
Mr.. Watkins was a bit surprised to
find nobody there, but only gave it a
passing thought. A maid unlocked the
room for hin and he sat down to await
the return of his wife and sister.
Twelve o'clock came; 1 O'Clock came;
2 o'clock came, and then he began to
get nervous. However, no thought Of
anything serious entered his mind.
He went out for an hour. leaving a
note saying he would return. When
he did go back another inquiry at the
Office brought the information that
neither his wife nor sister had returned
during his absence.

were dressed as usual, and she re-

Mrs. Watkins to never mind her
p~ocketbook; that they wouldn't need
more than a quarter
Police Were Stumped.
Each hour that goes by causes the
mystery to deepen. None of the num-
erous theories advanced seems to hold.
The police are at a loss to solve it.
When the young women did not return
to their hotel late Friday night Mr..
Watkins took his trouble to Chief OF
Police Delaney, who heard his story
and turned the cas- over to Captain
Of Detectives LOOMS. Two plain
clothes men were detailed to go with
Mr.. Watkins to the hotel, where ev.
