ASSESSMENT WORK IN

i h00h0S uLNx "Onh IN
THE FOREST FIRE ZONE
Having at one time established
the precedent Of remitting the an
nual assessment work on impatient
ed mining claims, congress Is likely
to be called upon at intervals to
repeat the act that was adopted af-
ter the panic in 1892. At that time,
owing to the unusually severe f.
nancial depression, especially in the
west, the holders Of claims were re-
heyed of the necessity of perform
ing their assessment work. This
was brought about through the in
strumentality of Senator Henry M.
Teller.
Three years ago similar move
ment was started by reason Of the
crisis that set in during October
Of 1907. and the proposal was made
in congress without favorable re-
suit. The representatives of some
western states requested that these
states be excepted from the opera
tions of the measure as presented,
taking the position that the remis-
sion Of assessment work was not re-
quired by their constituents. To be-
come effective, however, it was nee
essary that the bill be adopted be-
fore the close of the year, whereas
it is difficult. except in a case of
great emergency, to have enacted
any measure between the time Of
opening Of congress during the first
week Of December and the time of
adjournment for the Christmas holi-
days. The time is too short for de-
pendence. 1t is probably true that
congress has the power to make the
measure retroactive and to remit
assessment work for a previous year,
but the claimholder runs a risk in
relying upon such an expectation,
and 1t would no doubt be found that
q restorative measure had come too
late to be of value in an emergency.
Accordingly, in 1907. there was no
remission.
The subject again arises as a re-
suit of the recent forest fires in the
northwest, where great many OPP
orators, both of patented and unpat-
ented ground, have met with losses.
The individual losers are perhaps not
important in financial way, but the
destruction wrought by the fire has,
plainly enough, fallen upon the sur
face equipment Of the mines and
thus increased the hardship of per-
forming work upon the ground. Sur
face improvements are included in
the expenditures for assessment
work, and their destruction amounts
to the undoing of work already per-
formed. In many places the rebuild
ing Of burned structures in the late
fall or winter may be regarded as
difficult.
In ldaho great many prospectors
are soliciting Senator Hepburn to
procure legislation similar to that
enacted fifteen years ago for the re-
lief Of claimholders in the forest
fire zone. Inasmuch as the govern
ment has been unable to protect
many of its citizens against the raw
ages of fire on the forest reserves
of the northwest, the request is
clearly deserving of consideration in
the light Of the precedent already
set. or course, the enactment would
cover only the fire zone. 1t may be
necessary to specify the counties or
districts In which the law would
have effect.-Mining Science.

An Important Decision.


The state supreme court has re-
versed the lower court of the Sew
enth district in case Of considera-
BILE Importance to insurance compa-
MES as well as those who buy in
surance. 1t was the case of Fergu-
son against the Northern Assurance
company of London, from Hot
Springs. The local agent Of the
company insured the property Of
Ferguson and sent a report OF the
business to the general agents at
Chicago who Immediately wired the
local agent to cancel the policy. The
local agent notified Ferguson Of the
action of the general agents. A short
time after the transaction the proper
ty was destroyed by fire. Ferguson
filed his claim which was turned
down and then he brought suit to
recover the amount of the policy.
The district court gave him judg-
ment from which an appeal was TAX
en- and the supreme court reverses
the lower court. The local agent
seems to have been somewhat slack
and unbusinesslike in the transac-
tion, Notwithstanding the prompt
and firm stand taken by the general
agent. N. II. Mason of this city,
who has gained reputation for win
ming appealed cases. represented the
assurance company.
For the benefit of those who pay
money for insurance, fuller details
of the case will be given as soon
as we can get copies of the abstracts
and briefs in the case.

Tact and Diplomacy.

PA, what's the difference be-
tween tact and diplomacy"
ITS rather a difficult thing to
explain, but I'll try. We will sup
pose that / have in my pocket let
ter which I do not want your mother
to see. I forgot about the letter
when I'm preparing to go to bed, and
hang my coat up on the hook be-
hind the door. After I get my pa
jamas on and am about to retire l
notice your mother feeling in my
pockets, and I suddenly rush to her,
fling my arms around her neck and
kiss her several times, with a great
show of affection, at the same time
managing to get the letter, which
slip under my belt without per-
mitting her to know anything about
it. That Is tact.
Now, on the other hand, we will
suppose that after have got all ready
for bed I see your mother starting
to go through my pockets. sud
denly vel "Fire!" and rush to the
window. She. of course, hurries to
my side and wants to know where
the fire is. I tell her it Is across the
street or up the alley. and while she
is busy looking / go and get the let
ter and take it to bed with me. One
may exercise tact, you see. without
ments which have no foundation in
is generally necessary to make state
ments which leave no foundation in
fact. Now run out and play with the
pup. I want to read about the bat
ting averages that were made in the
worlds championship games"

Neglect or pessimism, we believe.
is the greatest enemy the public has
to contend with when applied to the
loss or recovery of health. Prac-

might have been cured If hope had
been maintained and proper treatment
had been resorted to at the first symp-
tom of the disease. Until the advanced
stage is reached consumption is cur
able. Catarrh is responsible, we be-
lieve, for many cases of consumption.
1t is about catarrh we want to talk to
you today. incidentally consumption,
since the two are closely allied.
We have a medicine made from a
