Mrs Davis gave my children (Mr.

as valid. The deed was a perfectly
voluntary gift on the part of Mrs
Davis according TO Mrs Davis own
statement in the court, quite unsolic-
tied by me. 1t was given in return
for certain services rendered. I think
when the appeal is heard in the upper
court, the proper decision will be given
to my children, just as it did in my
other case.
This deed was given me long be-

of the delivery and acceptance I had
no idea that time was coming, the
Davises would attack me about it

Mr. Gere has made report on the
roads of Oahu, at the request of the
Governor He says in this report:
ROADS ON OAHU.
The Island of Oahu has largely con-
fined its permanent road Work to the
city of Honolulu and it's suburbs. Still
an effort is being made to make a hard
road of the belt road.
Honolulu has about So miles of ma
cadam streets and roads, II of which
are a part of the belt road around the
Island. Eva district has Il miles and
Koolaupoko miles of macadam, Wal
alua has three-fourths of a mile and
Koolauloa miles of coral road, and
the latter district has II miles of sandy
beach road which is always good, so
that, of the belt road, SO per cent is
macadam, per cent coral-a total of
IS per cent hard road Is per cent is
sand clay road, and AZ per cent still
earth roads.
The circuit if the Island is easily
made in one day in an automobile. The
first miles out of Honolulu up the
picturesque Nuuanu valley brings one
to the famous Nuuanu Pail The de-
scent of the KooIau side is an s per
cent grade literally carved out of the
cliff in many places for two miles, and
here ends the macadam. The miles
to the coast from the foot of the Pail
is macadam road, on which it is
pleasure to travel. From kaneohe the
road skirts the coast and is only few

 "No more leaving of the Fort Sill reservation" he said today. "I am going to stop there until the Great White Father gives Indian right to go back to is old nome in Arizona and New Mexico"
 Wherever Geronimo goes he always collects about him rAeny curious on- lockers and rapidly disposes of whatev- curiosity or trinket he is in possession of. It is estimated that he cleared as much as $50 day at the Collinsville pow-wow, disposing of his photos at 25 cents and placing his autograph, very crudely spelled out name q F. RON l. MO, using all capital letters, added another 25 cents to the value of his cards.
 There is a movement on foot by the war department to transfer the tribe from Fort Sill to Fort Reno, so as to make room for the enlargement of Fort Sill to brigade post. This is opposed by Geronimo and his successor, Asa De- lukie, the newly elected chief. Should the department decide to make this change, Chief Asa announces that he will got a permit from the department to go back to New Mexico. He is only of the younger set of Indians, and hay. ing taken no part in the outrag,s he is at liberty to leave and go to the west. It is his desire, however, to remain with his tribesmen as long as possible.

other tribes he held limp hand and did not say a word. One of the other chiefs said it was like shaking hands with a monument.
 In his speech made at that time he said: "The hope of my people is the Christian religion. By that alone will the remnant that remains be saved They need some restraint. Two long have they been enemies of the white men. The white brothers will do all right by the Indian. It is the Indian E fault. l believe in God myself.

The sooner the In- dian finds that he will keep on dying out unless he does something to save himself, the sooner will tho Indian amount to something. Indian amounts to nothing now. Great White Father pays no attention to Indian. Indian goes to Great White Father gets drunk. Great White Father disgusted and turns away. Indian ought to go to Great White Father like white man. Whit man goes to Great White Father, and Great White Father listens. White man goes sober. Indian should do the same"
 "I want to go back to my old home before I die," the old chief said plain lively. "'I am tired of killing white brother. am S6 years old. Tired of fight and want rest. Want to go back to the mountains again. asked the Great White Father to allow me to go back and he says no. He says he can trust me but cannot trust others. There are not many Apacbes left. White men kill off Apaches. But Apacbes good Indian now and will remain good. l want to go spend my last days upon my word before passing on to the happy huting ground prepared for the Indian. ,"
 If an electric shock had passed swift ly through the old frame, the effect could not have been more rapid when the question was put to him what he thought of Miles. He straigthened up and his eyes shone like coals. His hands trembled and his lips twisted as in q spasm of passion. He threw his hand high in the air above his head and in q muttered tone in the Spanish language he spoke to the interpreter. "The old ma dnoes not want to talk of General Miles. He does not want to say any thing about those days. He is trying to forget them, and any reference to the past is very painful and agitates him very much. So do not mention

This state of affairs grieves the old broken-down Apache ex-chief and advisor more than anything that has ever come up in his life in times of war or peace. It has always been his ambition to have his tribe, like his white bretheren, to thrive and increase in number and influence.
 Geronimo was tho chief attraction at the last pow-wow given by the blank eted Indians at Collinsville. At that time he mot the Osages, Shawnees and flow Cherokees and Creeks. Geronimo went over with an armed escort, upon permission from Secretary of War Will liam II. Taft. J. A. Dickerson, secre- tary of the Collinsvillo eomercial club, came to Fort Sill and accompanied the old chief, his wife and daughter to Col linsvile. When old Geronimo reached the spot of the great Indian pow-wow and found there F. ".

 Thcre was nothing out of the or dinary in the dress of Geronimo to at tract attention to his person when he arrived at the pow-wow, but he was not to be outdone and when he saw the Shawnees and Osages all logged out in their many colored blankets and glar ing feather headgears and paint of gaudy tints he retired to his tepee and soon emerged therefrom in all his paint and feathers. He was Q grand up standing figure of man. Yet he looked diminutive beside te big fat forms of Osage and Shawnee until he looked around, and then the big husky Osages and tall Shawnees seemed to wither away and leave but the single figure of the old warrior in the foreground.

lying the public lands, subject of course Consequently, without congressional act the setting apart of forest reserve cannot prohibit the citizen from lay ing claim to such mineral. The only restrictions under which he must labor are eomprehended in tho terms of the statutes affecting the location of miner al claims.
 The interest, at the moment, there fore, resides in the question as to what constitutes a valid location. Manifest ly, prospector cannot asesrt rights in forest reserve that he could not legal ly assert upon any other portion of the public domain, though some of the crit ics of the forestry service apparently believe that this should happen. What the foresters have aimed at is the on. forcement of the law, and this they do not themselves accomplish, save by bringing evasions of the law to the de- partment of the interior. It is largely because the department of the interior finds it we'll nigh impossible to prevent unwarranted or pretepded locations in other regions that the vigilance of the forestry burean has been reproved as a hardship.
 It so happens that a nice statement of what constitutes valid location appears in digest of federal decisions just issued We can do no better than quote it, for the benefit of those who think that the location of supposed mineral claims should be treated as perfunctory act.
 To constitute valid location, there much be such discovery of mineral as that an ordinarily prudent man, not nee essasrily miner, would be justified in spending his time and money thereon. in the development of the property. While mere possibility that the ground claimed contains gold, or that there are mere indications of the existence of minerals in the ground is not sufficient to justify a prudent person in expend- ing money and work in exploration of it: yet where the evidence shows the actual existence of gold in the claim, tho locator is entitled to strengthen the proof upon any of the elements which enter into what is eomprehended by discovery. He may supplement the showing that mineral actually did exist by proving, as q ground of justification for the expenditure of money and time, that the adjacent ground in the same

gulch is rich in the same mineral, or that geological conditions are so simi- lar that, from the character of the min eral discovered it is reasonable to ex- pect to find mineral in valuable quan- titles in the exploitation of the alleged claim. But there must be actual discov- cry of mineral within the limits of the claim before a valid location may be established.
 If this be a hardship then it is the fault of the mining law, not that of the forestry bureau. If the government agents seek to prohibit prospecting, that is, due search for mineral showings in the forest reserves, there would then be real ground for complaint.

The recent agitation against the for estry service on the ground that it in terferes with the rights of citizens to prospect for minerals upon the public domain, naturally summons one $ atten- tion to the United States statutes bear ing upon these rights.

LAWTON, Okla, Nov. l3.-Although old Geronimo is fast failing in years caused by the awful hardships he ex- perienced during the days that he held the west and the southwest in terror, prior to 1866. be can still lariat steer with great accuracy. He is now busily engaged with many of the Apache bucks roping the calves of the Apache cattle and assisting in the branding of several thousand yearlings. The work is being done while the Apacha Indians are making their annual round uP of cattle in the Ft. Sill military res ervatiOn. All cattle are being collected at the Rock Island tanks near Elgin where the calves will be branded.
 Lieut.. George Burlington, who has charge of the Apache prisoners of war and their possessions, is overseeing the roundup. Working with him and as- s'tlng in the roundup are 100 men and boys.
 A complete invoice of everything be- longing to the Indians is to be made and IS estimated that the Apache herd of cattle contains 10000 head, probably tae largest single herd in Oklahoma. one Of the interesting things in connec- 'on with this herd of cattle is the fact mat there are very few dry cows. This year there is the largest crop of calves ever raised on the reservation.
 According to the annual custom of a'naIlng these cattle the cows are num- vefed and in branding, the calves are branded with the same number as their 'Do'hefs.
