The Normal Attitude Toward Death.
The normal attitude of men toward
death seems to be one of inattention
or evasion. They do not trouble about
it; they do not want to trouble about
it, and they resent its being called to
their, notice On this point the late
Frederick Myers used to tell story
which I have always thought very H.
Illuminating. In conversation after din
ner he was pressing on his host the
unwelcome question what he thought
would happen after death. After
many evasions and much recalcitrancy
the reluctant admission was extorted,
"Of course, If you press me believe
that we shall all enter into eternal
bliss, but wish you wouldn't talk
about such disagreeable subjects"
This believe is typical of the normal
mood of most men. They don't want
to be worried. ard though probably, If
the question were pressed. they would
object to the idea Of extinction. they
can hardly be said to desire immortal
ity. Even at the point Of death, 1t
would seem, this attitude is often
maintained.-G. Loves Dickinson in
Atlantic,

CROWS ON GOLF LINKS.
One Fastidious Bird That Would Steal
Only New Balls.

The crow seems to be attracted to
golf balls In a way wholly peculiar
from the rest of the bird species In
parks. where the rock and the crow
abound. one can notice them sitting in
the trees or hopping about the putting
greens In the distance watching the
roll of the ball with q direct or side
long glance expressive of the keenest
interest and curiosity. which is soon
translated into a desire to carry 1t off
to the roost in the neighboring wood.
The Kew gardens adjoin the mid
Surrey course. and In the royal pre-
serve there used to be a fairly large
colony of crows nesting among the
trees. OF this colony there was one
particular crow that found his great
est amusement in mingling among the
golfers and in disconcerting their play
by indulging IL repeated predatory
campaigns against their golf balls
His policy was to hover in attend
ance on those players who used new
white balls only. Those on which the
paint had been Clipped or which had
been used in play for several rounds
by an economical player were always
rejected by this particular bird as be-
ing beneath his fastidious attention.

THE FEAR OF TROOPS
STOPS THE FEUDISTS

JACKSON (Ky.), Jan. 4.-Fear-
ing that the governor would send
troops to Breathitt county to pre-
serve order, the Callahan and Deaton
factions today agreed to truce and
disbanded. Both bands left Jackson
late today.
The compromise was the result of
the dismissal of the warrants against
former Sheriff Callahan and seven of
his adherents who are charged with
shooting Rash Sebastian and those
against Govan Smith and two of the
Deaton faction charging them with
shooting up the Callahan home.
Judge Taulbee's action in dismiss
ing the warrants, it is said, was
taken on the recommendation of
some of the leaders of the law and,
order movement in Breathitt county.

AS TO MINERAL
LANDS PATENTED
BY THE ESpEE CO

A matter of much importance, hav-
ing a vital relation to the mining
progress of Nevada, is that pertain
ing to the holding by the Southern
Pacific Railroad company of great
tracts of mineral lands on either side
of its right of way. Much of this
land gives great promise of large
mineral production, hut has been
avoided by prOspectors and mine de-
velopers for the reason that it is held
under grants made years ago to the
builders of the Central Pacific Rail-
road company, now controlled by the
Southern Pacific. 1t is true that con-
gress, in making these grants, ex-
pressly stipulated that they should
not embrace mineral lands, but the
railroad company, in doubt, perhaps,
mineral, and, naturally. giving itself
the benefit of the doubt. has patented
most of the valuable or promising
sections. Title to them by private in
dividuals, or by mining companies,
therefore, becomes, at best, a ques-
ton requiring the threshing out by
the courts, or by the United States
land department.
This is the reason why prOspectors
and mining operators have. as rule,
kept clear of the sections = of land
granted to the railroad. When it is
known that these are alternate sec

of such property for mining pur-
poses and defines the manner in
which compensation shall be de-
termined and paid. The trend of re-
cent decisions leaves no room to
doubt that the constitutionality of
this statute will be sustained.
The prosperity of Nevada is due
entirely to the mining developments
already made, and the people of the
state are all directly interested in
having the future development of it's
valuable mineral deposits unobstruct-
ed by an individual or corporation.
The Southern Pacific system can be
required to accept Z reasonable COM
pensation for the lands embraced
within the geographical limits>of it's
grant in Nevada, if the prospectors
and miners assert their legal rights.
These lands are free and open to ex-
ploration and location under the
mineral laws, like other lands in the
state.

tions in belt of land extending
twenty miles on either side of the
railroad tracks across the state of
or for forty miles wide, and
about 400 miles long, it will be seen
what an immense territory in this
state has been kept from proper min
eral development Moreover, this
territory is in one of the most highly
parts of Nevada.
Questions as to the mineral titles
to the lands patented by the railroad
company have recently come up in
Olinghouse, Mills City, Tiptop,
Chafey and other mining camps
within the railroad land grant belt.
Owing to the Importance of this
question, the Nevada-C California Min
er has obtained statement as to the
legal status of the matter from
Thomas E. Kepner, of Reno, who has
made special study of this subject,
and is attorney for mine operators
interested in some of the districts
mentioned above. Mr.. Kepner's ar
ticle is as follows:
During the years 1862 and 1864
congress granted to the Central Pa
cific Railroad company and its sue
cessors and assigns a right of way
over the public domain from the Mis-
souri, river to the Pacific ocean, 200
feet in width on each side of the

LABOR men
AFTER some
LEGISLATION

Legislation important to organized
labor of Nevada will be enacted at
the session of the state legislature
this coming session if Acting Cover
nor Dickerson's recommendations are
framed into laws.
]. w. Brooks, president of the
Goldfield Trades council, has return
ed from Carson City, where he and
other representatives of organized
labor conferred with the governor on
matters affecting unionism. Every
district of consequence in the state
was represented at the conference.
Governor Dickerson wished to obtain
the views of the laboring men re-
gard needed legislation. The execu-
tive made no promises. He simply
absorbed the ideas advanced at the
conference. But it is certain that he
will recommend that laws for the
welfare of organized labor in this
state be passed at the coming ses-
sion.
The conference was entirely free
from partisan politics, it is stated.
The acting governor wished to learn
the wishes of the laboring host, and
stated that neither Republicanism or
Democracy would influence him in
his decision as td what measure he
would recommend to the assembly
The employers liability act is one
desired by the unions of this state.
Claims resulting from death or
disability are to be paid by the en-
ployer of the victim.
Labor also wants passed labor
lien law whereby the claims of work
men shall constitute first lien upon
| a building constructed The work
men also want to be relieved from
paying the cost of collecting the
claims.
The union men at the conference
expressed themselves strongly
against the contract labor system by
the importation of aliens.
The governor was frankly told that
organized labor of the state wants
the initiative and referendum, and
the recall, based upon the law now
i in effect in Oregon
Free textbooks, to be furnished by
the state, and technical and night
schools are also desired The con-
| ference is in favor of a law against
child labor, the object being to make
illegal the employment of any child
under sixteen years,
Miners in gypsum camps are said
to work ten hours, and organized la
Dor wants that shift reduced to
eight hours, on account of the dust.
1t was also made plain to the gov
ernor that the miners of the state
are opposed to the use of powder

tendency to crystalline after six

RICH STRIKE
MADE ON A
RAWHIDE LEASE

The workings of the Murray lease,
of the Rawhide Mining and Reduc-
ton company, on the Consolidated
estate, ran into a stringer of quartz
rock this week that was almost the
pure quill and the most gratifying
part about the ore was the fact of
it's solid formation and that the gold
was we'll inside the rock matter. The
management of the Murray was not
expecting to encounter picture rock
at this point, in their crosscut to the
east from the 200-foot station, as
according to the indicated dip of
their big vein of ore, which they
have on the 100-foot level, they had
not contemplated striking vein mat
ter for several feet yet in their lower
workings. 1t is their opinion that
this high grade stringer is a shoot
off the main vein. In their east
crosscut at the 100 level they have a
vein of quartz ore of from seven to
eight feet wide, which will average
across the whole around $50 to the
ton. Their last load of machinery for
the mill arrived this week and is be-
ing installed. The mill men who are
