The report of Secretary Nagel of
the Department of Commerce and La
Dor, contains recommendations for
the development and expansion of the
Bureau of Corporations into an
agency to which the management and
condition of all Interstate corpora
lions must be reported. He says that
any attempt to solve the question
through state action has been, and
necessarily will be, futile. Other rec
concentrations are for broader and
more efficient laws for the wiping out
of the white slave traffic, which, ac-
cording to the report, has been found
by the department to be an estab-
lished and flourishing business, and
for the strengthening of the laws
against alien contract labor. The
secrtary advocates the abolition of all
government clerkships which pay
less than 5000 a year. Aliens enter
ing the country during the last fiscal
year numbered 944,235, of which 81
per cent were from Russia. They
brought with them $~17,331,S2S, an
average of $3.50.

The expected confirmation of Judge

Inc eApeCtcu COHuIuTdJlOu VI JuQR6
Horace H. Lurton of Nashville, Tenn,
to be an associate justice of the SUI
preme Court in the place vacated by
the death of Justice Peckham has
peer made by the Senate. Serious op-
position to his confirmation was not
expected, as the president had con-
suited most of the senators about
this choice. There had been news
paper publications indicating that a
fight would be made against Lurton
because of his decisions alleged to
have been favorable to corporations.
Judge Lurton has been a member of
the Sixth Circuit Court, and has been
reckoned as a Democrat, although
never active in politics. For a time
he was chief justice of the Supreme
Court of Tennessee. He was appoint
ed to the Circuit Court in 1893 by
President Cleveland.

What the company or individual
owns in the case of unpatented min
ing property is the possessory right
thereto during the period intervening
between the location of the ground
and the ~patenting thereof, this pos
sessory right being contingent upon
the performance of certain annual
work. The fact that, technically, the
unpatented ground still belongs to
the government has often led to the
belief that it is not subject to the
collection of a tax from the claimant,
but, while no tax can be levied upon
the government domain, in some
places laws have been adopted to tax
the rights of the claimant.
The amount of annual work re-
quired from a claim holder is that
which is measured by a cost of 800.
When work to the amount of $500
has been done, the claim is eligible
to patent and the holder must pro-
coed under certain formalities to es-
tablish his right and take absolute
possession, after paying SIS an acre
for the same. 1t is not incumbent
upon the holder to patent his claim,
but he may hold his possessory right
indefinitely by performing the annual
work without interruption. Patented
claims are taxable, like all other
privately owned real estate, and they
may be sold for taxes. Unpatented
claims, considered as real estate, can
not be sold for taxes, and If the rights
| should in any case be sold in this
manner, the purchaser must conform
to the government requirements and
proceed to patent as though he were
the original locator.-Denver Min
ing Record.

According to Bradstreet's Review,
food prices are nov higher than ever

bacon, lard, butter, cheese, mackerel,
coffee, sugar, beans, petroleum, pep

in eggs, tea, rice, peas, lemons, cot

PATENTING MINING GROUND.

Among some investors in mining
stocks there still continues a scant
understanding of the rights of mining
companies or individuals when it
comes to the possession of unpatented
property. There should be no good
ground for any American to muss the
theory of the government in the mat
ter of disposing of public lands, for
the domain that is suitable for agri-
cultural purposes is subject to similar
rules governing the requirement of
the same. Agricultural land must be
proved up before the holder pos
sesses full title, and mining claims
must be worked to a certain extent
before title passes in fee to the claim
ant. A mining company protesting
to own unpatented claims is technic-
ally right in its contention although
it does not exactly own the ground.
What it owns is the claim to the
ground, the word claim having a
definite significance which is some
times extended to the tracts of pat
ented ground simply with which to

to include all of their employees, re-
ports a 9 per cent dividend for the
