A TRUE NoeLEMAN.

The lately deceased, Marauise Of
Ripon was a true nobIeman as we'll in
his actual life as by rank in the British
peerage. Before his conversion to Ca
tholicity many years ago he held high
office in the Freemason order. which. of
course, he withdrew from on or before
his reception into the church At his
funeral service the eloquent Father
Bernard Vaughan, S. j.. pronounced
the eulogy. in the courseof which he
noted as follows the earnest and simple
piety that marked the character of the

fined and approved departments. There
is the controversy to instruct and con-
vert; there is the controversy to ex-
pose and denouhce. All these have to
be considered. General exhortations to
mildness and charity ought to be sup
pIemented with particular rules of con-
troversy called for by the requirements
of truth on the one hand and of heresy
on the other. 1t is true, indeed, that
some. who are not fitted for the work
take part in this difficult task; but
there are others who are fitted for it
who do it we'll and who ought to be
encouraged in following out mission
divinely provided for the salvation of
souls

MANY MILLIONS IN LAKES BED
Americans to Treat Enormous Tailings
Dump in Old Mexico


Enterprising Americans are making
fortunes In Mexico in unexpected places.
One Of the latest aud greatest Of their
projects lie In the Zacatecas mining dis.
trict. Mining has been carried on here
on an extensive scale for nearly three
centuries. Until few years ago only
the most primitive methods we're used
for milling ore and extracting bullion.
All tailings from the crude reduction
mills flowed into the Laguna de Peder.
~nalillo. o body Of water near the mines
This waste has accumulated until 1t is
estimated it aggregates more than H..
900, 900 tons. Recently an American
mining man. looking over the Zacatecas
district. took samples from the bed Of
Laguna de P~edernalillo and had them
analyze Returns showed that the
tailings run from $40 to $ls in gold per
ton. At this rate IA, 000, 900 tons Of tail
ings have value of $40, 0OO. 900 to $780,.
900, 900 in gold.
Engineers were Immediately employed
to make soundings Of the Lake aud pre-
pare plans for draining il. The prelim.
mary work has been finished and q
channel for the carrying Of the water
will soon be cut. A concession for the
enterprise and title to the lake and al
Of its contents have been secured. The
tailings will be treated by the modern
process and all values extracted.

MAY CUT FREIGHT RATES
The Opening of the Western
Pacific Railway May Bring
Relief to Nevada

Salt Lake Herald Republican: Rail-
road men are of the opinion Utah and
other western Sites may be granted
some relief in freight rates even before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
takes action. Areport has been current
ever since the rate hearing that when
the Western Pacific opens through to
the coast this Fall, George Gould will
make q sweeping reduction OF freight
rates, installing a tariff sheet based on
the number Of miles the commodities
are hauled rather than upon water
competition.
This sheet. it lie predicted. will give q
lower rate to Utah than { o California.
and q lower rate to Colorado than to
Utah. The principle Of mileage will be
the sole basis for the rate charged. ex-
cept, of course. higher charges will be
made for hauling some kinds Of goods
than others.
Frank B. Kindell, Q brother Of the
noted George B. Kindell Of Denver, was
10 Salt Lake recently aud said he had a
letter from the Denver rate expert, noti-
flying him to expect wholesale reductions
in freight rates. The letter did not
specify from what cause the reduction
would come, but Frank Kindell believes
the Western Pacific will be the principal
factor.
The reason railroad men are inclined
to put faith in the report is because the
Globe Express Company, distinctively a
Gould corporation. has just announced
that it would handle Wells-Fargo con-
signments from Glenwood west on the
Denver g. Rio Grande and Western Pa
ciic. 1t is known that a general altera-
ton of the express tariff is now being
made and it is believed these changes
will include reductions.
"If express rates are reduced 1t is q
moral certainty freight rates will fol.
low" said a railroad man Saturday.
"For years Gould. has been acting indie
p~endently whenever he could, and when
his Western Pacific is completed he viii
have a route from coast to coast, and il
means he can do as he pleases. Here
tofore the Denver & Rio Grande has hat
to maintain amicable relations with the
Oregon Short Line, because no freighl
or passenger traffic originated at III
Ogden terminal, nor could Gould rout'
any traffic to the coast without usini
the Hartman lines. / would not be sur
prised to see a slaughter Of rates whel
the Western Pacific opens"

SATURDAY. OCTOBER IS. 1909.
CANNOT RELOCATE CLAIMS

Certain sections of the mining West
have been retarded in their growth and
development for many years by the
action OF claim owners. who. neglecting
or refusing to do annual assessment
work. have invariably made relocations
of their claims on the first of each sue.
ceeding year. until they have almost
forgotten the date on which they made
their first location. says the Salt Lake
Mining Review. And during all of this
time, excepting in States requiring ioca-
ton work within 80 days after the loca-
ton is made, no work has been done In
proving up the mineral wealth OF these
locations, and others, who have been
anxious and willing to expend capital In
the exploitation Of the districts in which
such claims are situated, have been
barred from even getting a foothold In
promising mining sections.
Now, however, after this evil has ex-
listed for a quarter Of a century or more
the Government seems disposed to stamp
IL ont. and a recent ruling will oblige
the claim owner to do his annual work,
or crowd him out into the cold, cold
world, for the edict has gone forth that
unless the work required is performed,
the claim owner cannot relocate the
ground he previously held for a period
of three years.
The ruling of the Interior Depart
ment. which is an excellent one, Is as
follows: 1.-THE failure or neglect OF any
locator of o mining claim to perform
development work of q character, In the
and within the time required
by the laws of the United States, D a
disqualify such locator from relocating
the ground embraced in the original 10
cation or mining claim, or any par
thereof, within three years after ~
date Of his original location. Any at
tempted relocation thereof by any OF tn
original locators shall render such loca
ton void"
The justice of such a ruling u b
apparent to every fair minded nan l
is not right that any person can maxi
mineral locations and hold them linden
nitely without performing any system
attic work in their development, and tn
ruling in question will. in a measure
prevent the continuing Of the practice
And yet this ruling does not fully cove
conditions which might enable the ioca
tor to hold the claim or claims in spit
of it. L~oopholes can be found, n o
which would enable him to secure tn
assistance of an outside party, VIII
would make the location and then qui
claim the property to the original CLAIM
holder for q nominal consideration
That this dodge will be attempted, an
possibly carried through. there is bu
little doubt. If another ruling could o
made making such conspiracy puDisn
able, the mining industry would D
vastly benefited.
