part of genial Florida, picturesque

nearly perpetual Spring and the sol
could produce an abundance of any
thing which grows The records for
many years show that that location is
one OF the healthiest parts of the
United States, and the experience of the
settlers at St Cloud has abundantly
confirmed this.
st. Cloud is now ever one year old
and during that time some 5000 peo-
pie have visited the place and resid-
ed there, either temporarily or per
manently. In all this great number
there have been only 10 deaths from
disease among the veterans. This is (
most astonishing record, when we con
slider how high the death rate is among
that class and the exhaustion and drain
upon the system made by the remova

tablishment OF comfortable homes
there. This record of the first yeal
is ample assurance to the veterans thai
their lives will be prolonged by resi-

ST. Cloud possesses the advantages
of both new Enl old countries. In its
newness il had ready access to markets
and supplies equal TO the best to be
found anywhere. Ii is on the great
highway of travel from the North to
the West Indies and the countries
around the Gulf of Mexico. 1t is six
miles from and connected by a railroad
with the main line of the great Atlantic
Coast system of railroads, which reach
every part of the United States and
which are now doing a heavy business
in carrying the products of that region
to market. Therefore, there is none of
the usual years OF struggle in getting
railroads built. They are already there
and doing a big business with every
facility for transportation of passengers
md freight that can be found in the
most thickly-settled regions.
Differing from any other new colony,
rlothing, groceries building material
and other necessares of life are as
rasilv obtanable and as cheap as can
bc found anywhere. The settlers have,
therefore, none of the hardships usually

| st. Cloud is about 50 miles from the
Atlantic Ocean and sc miles from the

its elevation above sea level gives these
influences full play.

Chief of Artillery. Maj.-Gen. II. J.

all give similar testimony bearing on
these points, which 1t would seem
enough merely to name.

whatever to Buford's flying battery,
but merely to Buford's desperate strug-
gle on the Chambersburg road; all the
same, the battery was there. Here is
the record, according to Gen. Hunt,
Chief of Artillery, who describes the
first days battle in the Century War
Book: "Gamble's Brigade formed on
McPherson's Ridge, one section of Ca
leTs Battery A, I'd U. S, near the left
of his line. the other two across the
iChambersburg pike. When Reynolds
came onto the field" Hunt continues,
he sent Cutler with three regiments

other two south of the pike and re-
placed Calefs Battery of Halls I'd Me,

Before Meredith Arrived.
Now, that was all done before Mere-
dith's Brigade had come onto the
ground. and if Comrade Bishop was
with his regiment he would have had
no cogniZance of the movements of Bu-
ford or his flying battery (Calefs),
since they had been relieved from the
front. So in this light what can be
thought of this quotation from Com
rade Bishops story:
Il was one of the boys that came up
in the rear of that battery (Buford's) at
about a. m, and marched right thru
it." Calef's Battery at that time. about

Location of the st. Cloud Colony.

ST Cloud is in Osceola County, Flor
ida, 170 miles south of Jacksonville,
an ocean port, and 80 miles northeast
of Tampa, a Gulf port, and has direct
railroad connection with both cities and
the North and East 1t is only 80 miles
distant to the Florida East Coast Rail-
road, running from Jacksonville to Key

has taken up the question of branches

IMPORTANT MINING DECISION
Judoe Stevens Makes Ruling
Which Involves Complicated
Features and Law Points

The decision rendered in Goldfel,
last week by Judge Theron Stevens il
,hs case of the Round Mountain Min
inc Com pauy VS.. the Round Mountain
sphinx Mining Company, In favor O
,bs defendant, is said to be one Of tn,
most important ever handed down from
n District Court in the annals Of min
ing litigation. involving as IL does Law
points and complicating features upon
which there has never been precedent
established by ruling. The following
points of law decid ded in this case are q,
follow:
First-That valid location Of min
ing claim can only be based upon q dis
covery OF mineral within the boundarie,
Of the claim sought 10 be located, and
upon the unappropriated mineral land,
Of the United States.
Second-Whenever, after discovery
a mining location has been made and
the ground included within the bounda-
ries Of such claim has been segregated
from the unappropriated mineral lands
Of the United States, no valid location
can be made Of any claim based upon .
discovery made within the boundaries
Of a claim thus segregated.
Third-A failure to advertise an ap-
plication made for patent on a senior
location by junior location, does not
stop such junior locator from question
ing the validity Of the location of tn,
claim under which the senior locator
seeks to enforce extra-lateral rights AZ
against such junior locator.
Fourth-The invalidity of such patent
may be pleaded as q defense in any
action brought for the possession OF
land and may be tried upon the same
principle as an original bill in equity.
Fifth-Where the original location
certificate of a claim declares that the
location was made entirely within ths
boundaries of other claims the burden
Of proof is upon the locator to show that
the claims upon which such locations
were made were invalid.
Sixth-That where cross.vein de.
parts from the side lines of n location.
such side lines become the end lines for
the purpose of determining the extra.
lateral rights Of the locator, and beyond
such side end lines as they extend down
vertically. the locator cannot follow the
vein. and could not enter upon or int
premises which are shown to be outside
OF the vertical planes drawn downward
through those lines.
