WYOMING COLLEGE CASE.
Lander Will Fight for AgrIeuItu--i Lo-
cation.

Land'r. Wyo.-The Lander Board Of
Trustees will carry the Agricultural
college case, which was decided
against them in the State Supreme
Court February 1st, to the United
States Supreme Court The board
claims that there are three distinct
federal questions open to review by
the federal court. The case will be
appealed on a writ of error.
The board at Lander contends that
the act of the Wyoming Legislature,
in which the college law was repealed,
impairs the obligation Of contract and
Is in violation Of vested property
rights, and is for these reasons in VIC.
lation of the constitution of the United
States.
That the Hatch and Morrill, laws,
providing for the giving of federal
funds for the support of an agricul-
tural college, contain an express pro-
vision that said funds are to be paid
only to an institution whose leading
object shall be instruction tn agricul-
ture and the mechanic arts. They
contend that the Wyoming University
Is not and never has been such an in
stitution, and that the payment of fed
eral funds to it Is contrary to the pro-
visions Of said act of Congress-
That in the act of Wyoming's admis
Sion into the Union a compact was
made between the state and the
United States in which the govern
ment gave and the state accepted 9O,-
900 acres of land for the support and
maintenance of an agricultural college,
and that having done so the act of the
Legislature in repeating the law and
attempting to destroy the institution
Is in violation of said compact be-
tween the state and the United States.
AS soon as the last Legislature
passed the act repeating the college
law funds were raised by private sub
Bcription to carry the case through the
United States court if necessary.
The Wyoming Agricultural College
was located at Lander in 1892 by
vote of the people at regular election
but no appropriation was ever made
by the State Legislature for the pur-
chase of grounds and erection of build
ings, and according to an act of the
Legislature the federal funds have
gone to the State University at Lara
mie, which will continue to receive
them should the federal court sustain
the decision of the state court.
Philip Weisser, stockman of Lam
der, died about three years ago, leav-
ing his entire estate of over $4,000 to
the Agricultural college at Lander.
The Board of Trustees at Lander pur-
chased a tract of ground in and adjoin-
ing Lander and had a school in actual
operation when the law was repealed.
In the event that the federal court
affirms the state courts decision the
estate of Weisser will, it seems, be
without a proper authority to lay
claim to it, as the will contains pro-
vision that the gift is made to the col
lege when established at Lander.

Mosquito Ranage Tunnel.

Col James A. Shinn has just re-
turned from the East with his plans
well under way for the great tunnel
that is to pierce Mosquito range be-
tween the head of Empire gulch and
the Horseshoe, says the Leadville cor
respondent of the Mining Record.
Ii appears from accounts received
here that the Westinghouse people are
back of the Shinn enterprise, and the
next step in the program is the secur-
ing of the necessary franchises.
Il have applied to the city govern.
ment of Leadville for a franchise to
reach all adjoining towns and camps,
so as to bring them in touch with
Leadville and the smelters. Twin
Lakes ard the Horseshoe district" he
said, will be touched by the lines"
The section to be traversed by Mr.
Shinn's proposed line is one that badly
requires better transportation service.
OF course the line will have to depend
mainly on freight traffic for it's sup
port. At present the Denver & Rio
Grande and the Colorado & Southern
do practically all the business to and
from Leadville. The Denver & Rio
Grande line is very tortuous one and
the Colorado & Southern has only a
narrow-gauge line. The main line of
the Denver & Rio Grande passes
about four or five miles from Leadville
and trains enter the city by means of
branch from the main line. The ad-
joining towns and camps are poorly
connected and 1t is probable that a
system of electric lines will pay.
Mr.. Shinn says the tunnel will COM
mence at the head of Empire gulch on
the Leadville slope and come out be-
low the lakes on the Park county side.
The tunnel will open a way for a
great mineral output. The Colorado &
Southern may use the tunnel In con-
junction with the electric company.
I'VE expect to secure power from
the mountain streams says Mr..
Shinn. THE powers of nature will be
harnessed and our expenses for power
will be very slight"
About forty miles will be clipped
from the distance to Leadville by pen
etrating the Mosquito range. according
to Mr.. Shinn. This will place Denver
within four hours of Leadville and
many of the bad grades that are now
encountered by the railroads will be
cut out. Travelling to the old mining
camp will be made pleasure

these Is the Hilltop. 500 feet. where

These and other workings can easily

INSURANCE INVESTIGATION.
Report Of the New York Legislative
Committee.

New York.-The committee ap-
York Legislature to investigate life in
surance has made it's report. The re-
port is extremely voluminous, extend
ing to 319 printed pages. 1t embraces
long review of the testimony taken
by the committee and its recommended
tons and conclusions as to remedial
legislation. In addition there is a
chapter devoted to the State Insurance
Department.
No substantial amplification of the
powers OF the department seems neces-
sary, according to the committee,

which have been disclosed would have
been impossible had there been a Wig
orous performance of the duties al
ready laid upon the insurance depart

should be thoroughly examined in Or

have been misapplied and the respon-
sibility for any misapplication which
may be shown may be determined.
Concerning the New York Life COM
pany, the committee found that its
transactions with Andrew Hamilton
showed extraordinary abuses, and that
the statement sent from Paris by Ham
ilton was without suitable specifica-
tons.

of the dissensions last February which

society and in the disclosures which

the testimony as to the services rem

The committee finds that, In spite
OF the Irregularities shown, there is

York Life Insurance Company, or the
Equitable Life Assurance Company.

APPEAL FOR HORSES
OFFICIAL INSPECTION NEEDED
Abuse Altogether Too common-oId
Horses overworked-They Suffer
keenIy When III Treated.

No one will question that, were the
spirit of Christianity universally en-
bodied in everyday living, all oppres-
sion of the weak and all cruelty to the
lower animals would disappear. New
ertheless, It is a fact that, while We
md in Proverbs the general statement
that "the righteous man regardeth his
beast" there Is not in the New Testa-
ment any special teaching or injunc-
ton on the subject, and 1t is only COM
paratively recently that 1t has come to
be thought worthy of attention and or
ganized effort, directed to the preven-
tion OF the constant and shocking
cruelty which for centuries had gone
on unheeded. At an earlier period than
the beginning of our era, the great
teacher, Buddha, in his command
ments to his disciples. laid down the
principle that all life was sacred, and
that the rule of kindness was to be ex-
tended to its lowest manifestation.
While we are yet, as a people, far
in the rear Of this position, much has
been done through societies for the
prevention of cruelty to animals and
for the regulation OF vivisection to put
stop to the worst of the suffering
which was SO common in former
years. The brutal abuse of overbur-
dened animals in the public streets is
no longer seen, but great deal still
goes on painful to the sensibilities OF
the observant and of a nature that
should be prohibited. Horses that
ought to have been retired from active
service long ago, or put out Of exist
ence painlessly, are propped up be-
tween the thills of dilapidated carts
and forced to totter along the streets
with loads far out of proportion to their
strength; poor blind animals. with all
the apprehension and distress that a
human being would experience simi-
larly situated. are driven about in the
crowded tnoroughfares, regardless Of
the dumb agony they must experience.
and 1t is not uncommon to see drivers
of vehicles lash their horses furiously
without justification or to any good
purpose, in a way that makes one wish
the outraged animals could kick their
assailants off the boxes. 1t Is not nec-
essary to accept the doubtless some-
what fanciful estimate of Seton
Thompson in regard to the quite hu-
man intelligence and susceptibilities Of
the lower animals in order to believe
that they suffer keenly, realize when
they are well or ill-kept. resent cruelty
and injustice. and respond to friendll.
ness and kindness.

NEWS FROM The MINES and MILLS
LiberaIity for the Prospeetor.

LiberaIity for the Prospector.
What proof of valuable discovery
should be required of a prospector on
public lands as a basis of possessory
title?"
This was the question propounded to
DIR. r. w. Raymond in a discussion
along these lines. His answer is la
comic and contains world of wisdom:
"The less the better"
1t appears that the Canadian gov
ernment has been conducting an inves-
tigation looking to the satisfactory de-
termination of what valuable dis
covery" means in the eyes of the law
AS is well known by all prospectors
and others engaged in the business Of
mining the first requirement of loca-
tion is discovery of ore. Evidently
In Canada the requirement is for the
discovery of valuable ore" and 1t
would appear that the requirement, es-
pecially the appointment of inspectors
to determine the character of the find,
bears hard on the prospector.
DIR. Raymond is quoted in the Den
yer Mining Reporter as in favor Of the
greatest liberality in the treatment Of
the prospector, and while his criti-
cisms apply to the Canadian law they
are to a certain extent applicable to
the United States.
On the subject of requiring sworn
statements from locators, and the Gus
tom of relying upon a government Off
cial to determine whether a valuable
discovery has been made, DIR. Ray
mnpd pnntipnac. oath chnn1d DOt
be required of prospector or locator
at the first stage of his work. But if 1t
be required, I Is the height of super
fuous unwisdom to require also the
confirmation thereof by the opinion of
a government inspector. Mining in
spectors are not necessarily thorough
economic geologists competent to de-
eide whether surface opening shows
lode of actual or prospective value.
The most eminent of such experts
could not make that decision with GER
tainty, and would be, in other respects,
very poor inspectors And every one
of them, if | may Judge from my own
field practice of forty years, would
frankly regard as, in some respects.
superior to his own judgment, that OF
the practical miner who had stayed by
his claim, watched it's Developments
and minute indications and put his
faith in it. The possible contingency
of dishonest as well as incompetent
inspector adds to the reasons for de-
claring that official superfluous.
The conclusion is therefore drawn
that as prospecting is of paramount
Importance to the mining industry,
bona fide prospectors should be IA
vored. Questions of taxation and
regulation of the mining industry are
indeed important and may Je solved
wisely or unwisely. But before the
mineral resources of a country can be-
come subject of such questions they
must be discovered; and this must be
accomplished through the enthusiastic
enterprise of individual explorers. For
this particular and peculiar industry
lives upon hope; receives on the whole.
scanty remuneration. and needs every
possible encouragement. Whatever
else is done or left undone, no unneces-
sary annoyance or burden should be
laid upon the mining prospector."-
