A COURT DECISION ON ASSESSMENT WORK

AN important and interesting decision vas recently rendered by an
Arizona judge, who decided what amount of labor constitutes annual Is
sessment' n unpatented mining claims in that territory, says ne Min
Ing Review. A claim holder (the plainun) claimed Ito ave worked Il p
o. his two claims al average Of eight hours a day for hfy1hree days,
besides furnishing supplies and material; that during this i'm he a
accomplished in actual sinking n a winze twelve to fourteen lee deep
six by nine feet
1t was contended by the defendant, who was a relocator, that the
value of the labor a shown by the actual number o. feet or FORK &C.
upon he theory hat this work could be miracle 10 be performed
for ten dollars to twelve dollars per foot
The plaintiff on the other hand contended that, under the adverse
conditions, and for the reason that he ws compelled to do all the work
himself, he could not accomplish more than three to four inches a day,
and that, having actually worked hfythree dys and furnished the nee
essary supplies. he should be entitled to be allowed the value OF lis
work measured by the time he las actually employed In performing
the work together with the cost Of the necessary supplies.
The court, upon these facts, held that while the actual work C.
compmshed should be considered in determining whether or not suh,
Client annual expenditure had been made to hold the claims it W al not
the only method Of arriving at its determinations; that the 500 worth OF
labor to be performed. or Improvements made upon a claim during each
rear s hould be measured by the amount of labor performed lin feet, but
that, If on man working upon a mining C lain labored a suhicent num-
Der of days in good faith, for the purpose of performing his annual Ia
Dor, TO ave the claim from forfeiture, he would be entitled to receive
pay for his labor for the number of days actually consumed by him in its
performance; that any ether construction Of the statute would works
gross injustice upon a single claim owner who had n mean to employ
assistance-this for the reason that it is a welknown fact that two men
working together in a shaft o winze "a perform three or four times
the amount Of work tina. n man, working alone, al perform in the
same character Of ground.
Upon these grounds the court decided the contention in favor of the
original locator, who had performed his work in good faith and to the
best of his ability.

DROPS FROM THE CLOUDS.

Dangerous Species of Exhibition
that often Results in Death.
The double parachute descent made
the other day from an estimated height
of $4,000 feet by the Misses Louie May
and Dolly Shepard, probably constitutes
record in long drops.
One writes probably" because there
Is always doubt In these cases, ow-
ing to the difficulty in verifying the
actual attitudes reached by the para.
chutists before letting go, says writer
in Pearson's Weekly.
Prof Baldwin, who first popularized
this highly dangerous species Of exhibit
ton at the Alexandra palace, London,
in 1888, made several descents from al
titudes exceeding a mile, but was pre-
vented by the authorities from carry.
ing out his intention of dropping from
a height of two miles. Later, however,
lie descended In the provinces from a
height of 1900 feet. This was his rec.
ord, so far as this country is concerned.
He soon found emulators, though /;
several of whom met with violent
deaths. Thus, an Englishman named
George Higgins, after descending safely
several times from attitudes exceeding
10000 feet, was eventually killed at
Kirkstall. near Leeds. This happened
On Aug. 8, 1891. A few months later
4 Miss Van Tassel was similarly dashed
o death at Dacca, and on May %. 1908,
Mss Edith Brookes, aged %, was killed
near Sheffield.
On the other hand, there have been
.hronicled some remarkable escapes Of
4 nature akin to that experienced by
,he Misses May and Shepard. Thus at
Wakefield, some years back, a we'll
known parachutist named Cissie Kent,
was carried high above the clouds
through something going wrong with
the "test" cord, yet managed to alight
safely In the middle of the town after
narrowly escaping being impaled on the
spire of All Saints church. Owing to a
similar mishap Miss Alma Beaumont
was. at Glasgow, once borne aloft to the
height Of 1900 feet before being able
10 let 90. Nevertheless, she suffered
no hurt, although twenty minutes were
occupied in the descent.
It is easy to prevent failure; all one
has to do is refrain from trying.

Whale Dance 0<zhe KOrNakS~

The whale dance of the Koryaks,
natives Of Northeastern Siberia, is an
other case where the host has all the
pleasure. Like the man who mixes the
cocktail, says Here's to you" and
drinks it himself, the Koryaks kill the
white whale, or the beluga, cut it's
head off, eat it's flesh, entertain it's
head as a guest and then set that
member adrift with the expectation
that it will return to it's former COM
rades and urge them to visit its hosts
and be entertained in the same royal
manner. Certainly the Koryaks, not
noted for mental development, have a
peculiar sort Of humor or they would
not carry out the ceremonies attend
ing the whale feast without laughing
at themselves. AS the diet of the 10
ryaks is limited to fish, seal and whale
flesh, with Russian brick tea as an oc-
casional luxury. the taking every year

ONE TEST FOR PEARLS.
Berlin Hotel Porter's Experiment That
Was Not Success.

The porter of one of the leading Ber-
lin hotels has just had curious adven-
ture. Some time ago a dealer in pearls
who was stopping at the hotel told him
an infallible way to distinguish real
pearls from false, which was to nut
them on the ground and stamp on them.
If real they would resist the test. If
false they would be crushed.
The porter, however, never had n
chance of putting this theory to the fest
until few days ago. The director of a
well-known company in Berlin while
dining at the hotel lost a valuable pearl
pin. This was found by the waiter.
who gave it to the porter to return to
it's owner.
The porter saw his opportunity had
come at last to test the quality Of a
pearl. He put the pin on the ground
placed his heel on it and ground it to
powder. When the owner arrived to
claim 1t there was a somewhat stormy
scene, but he was good natured enough
to consent to say no more about the af
fair on the porter refunding half the
value of the pin, 600 marks In future
the porter will submit any jewelry he
may find for expert opinion.-Berlin Lo-
