was hard to wake me. My friends

a match and pretended to look at her
watch. Then she said:

as it will soon be time for you to get

Air Navigation Coming.
So Says Thomas A. Edison,
Who Thinks Farnan Has
the Right Idea-Has Little
Faith in Aeroplane and Dr.
~;:l1a Q,1looo

Faith in Aeroplane and Di-
rigible Balloon.
Navigation of the air will surely
come; it is simply a question OF ap-
plying a mechanical construction III
a new way, and l believe Henri Far
man, who recently visited this cOun-
try, has started in the right direc-
ton"
Thomas A. Ellison, who with Mrs.
Edison and daughter, is touring the
Pacific Northwest, recently made
the foregoing statements i'll the
course of an interview at Spokane,
Wash. He continued:
''The airships of the future will be
lifted by mechanism something like
a spiral. 1t will have the ability to
rise without first giving it momen-
tum and will initiate closely the
fight of IL bird. With the helical
lifting appliance, improved propell-
ers and device for maintaining it's
equilibrium in the air, the future air
ship will fly in the teeth OF the wind
and it will rise to heights where ia
vorable currents may be found, or
| skim the surface of the earth.
Il have little faith in the aerOplane
or the dirigible balloon as a means
of aerial navigation. The.aeroplane
of the Wright Brothers depends too
much on, the personal equation.
! Place some other man in that aero
plane and it will not work. Flight
depends upon the skillful handling of
the machine by the inventor.
st is also unlikely that the efforts
OF inventors who have pinned their
faith to the dirigible balloon will meet
with success. When you have some
thing which is lighter than air, it
must be apparent even to the layman
that it is the toy Of the winds. 1t is
waited about like a thistledown when
d strong wind is blowing. The aero
plane and the dirigible balloon will
be improved, no doubt, but | look to
see the appliance of a principle differ
ent from either in the successful air
ship.
''It is likely shall give some atten-
ton in the future to the navigation
OF the air. [ have done so in the
past, but | have not had time to
make serious effort. | am firmly con-
WINGED that the time is near at hand
when it will be possible to sail
through the air rs easily and as safe
ly rs we now go by land or by water.

Rockford Again Active

Manager Fred H. Nye started force
of men at work the first of this week
in making preparations for the driving
of the Donaldson raise from the Rock
ford tunnel. The 6 x double hoist
which has been used in the Centurion
tunnel on the Little Champion vein, to-
gether with pipe and fittings has been
taken out and next Monday will be
hauled to the portal of the Rockford
tunnel. 1t is the intention to blast out
a station in the Donaldson lateral at a
point about 400 feet west of the Rock
tunnel. at which point the holster will
be installed.
The Donaldson vein is very fiat and a
skip will be used in lowering the rock
and ore and hosting the timbers, tools,
ne supplies and men. The prelimi-
nary work will take several weeks.
but it is expected to start work on the
raise not later than May l. Interest
ing disclosures may be expected as
the raise goes up on the
Donaldson vein, and the encountering
of an immense ore body would not be
surprising to those who are familiar
with the old Donaldson mine, which in
the old days was fortune maker for a
number of leasers.

Lone Tree A6asn Active

The Lone Tree property at Freeland
has been taken over under bond and
lease by E NJ Moscript and associates.
who will start work next Monday in
the Teller tunnel. A erosscut is to be
driven from the end of the Te Ter tun
mel to intersect the Lone Tree vein.
The latter will be cut at depth OF 525
feet below the surface and at a point
where a good ore shoot should be found
as the surface workings above yielded
handsome returns when the mine was
worked years ago. The Lone Tree
property consists of three patented
claims, and is owned by a company of
which John NJ. Dumont, of Denver. is
the president and principal stockholder.
Associated with Mr.. Moscript in the
enterprise is Mr.. E. A. Whitfield of
~ York City, who is largely inter-
Aed in the Teller property, and John
and Ben Owen, of this city. 1t is ex-
pected that the Lone Tree vein will be
reached with less than 100 feet of cross
cutting, and the vein should therefore
be cut within the next month or six
weeks. The Lone Tree has produc-
ton record of more than $3.50, 600 and is
generally considered one of the best
veins in the Lamartine- e-Freeland dis
trict Mr.. Moscript is stockholder in
the company, and has leased on the
mine off and on for number of years
with varying success through the sur
face adits.

The p. T. to Resume

It is learned from reliable SOURCE
that Denver and local parties are
figuring on starting up the P. T. mine
on Chicago mountain. The water has
drained away from the shaft, finding
an outlet through the Quito mine a
short distance to the east, and with the
removal of the expense of hosting
water some excellent ore bodies in the
mine can be handled at profit. There
is continuous streak of smelling ore
in the P. T. from the surface down to
the lower levels, and in addition the
line is noted for the quality of its
milling product.

State Can Tax Unpatentee d
Claim

In response to the repeated inquiries
in regard to the right of the state to
tax unpatented claims, we apend the
following which will be of universal
interest and answer many questions in
regard to the matter:
The United States supreme court has
decided that the state of Colorado or
any other state, has the right to collect
taxes on an unpaten,ed mining claim.
The state further has the right to sieze
an unpatented claim and sell it to the
highest bidder, giving what is knnwn
as tax title.
The decision is of great importance,
and will tend to settle inrumerable
mining controversies, 1t may even af-
feet titles on homesteads, desert claims,
and other forms of claims by means of
which United States property is sold to
settkrs.
TEE question came up in the suit of
George Elder, Samuel Mcmillan, Alice
J. McCombe, administrators of John
Nc Combe, and others, against Tingley
S Wood, Mary NJ Ballard, Anna l.
Finnerts and Cecilia l.. Wahrer. The
suit was for the possession of one Of the
most valuable claims on the Conlstock
lode in the Leadvili> district, in which
millions of dollars worth of ore is
known to be buried.
Tingley Wood bought tax titla from
the state before the patent haa been
issued and while the property was still
technically United States ground. Will
hemina GUIDE, widow, had Inherited
the claim and had failed to pay take s
because she thought taxes need not he
paid until the patent was in hand.
After the state had sold the claim for
taxes, she sold quit claim deed to
George K. Elder and the other plain
tiffs. On the question whether state
can sieze for taxes property which is
still technically United States property,
and on the further one whether the
state has a right to tax an unpatented
claim at all, the case was fought
through the district court at Leadville,
through the supreme court of Colora-
do, and finally in the highest court in
the United States.
The Colorado supreme court said the
state did have right to tax inpatient
ed land. had a right to confscate in
case of failure to pay taxes. and held
Tingley Woods title good one. The
plaintiff appealed To the United States
supreme court on the basis that the
property at stake was United States
property, and the Colorado court s rul-
ing was upheld in full
