WASHINGTON. oct s-An empire,
larger than the entire state Of Delaware
OF the island OF Porto Rico, lying in the
state OF Kentucky. is the prize at stake
today in the supreme court Of the United
States. Presentation OF the controversy to
the supreme court today in oral arguments
Will reveal an unusual story In the western
advance OF American civilization.
Owing to the carelessness with which
Virginia is said TO have issued grants just
after the revolutionary war to the unsur-
veyed and little known lands In what is
now eastern Kentucky, great confusion has
resulted as TO the true owners Of the land
IN the twenty eastern counties of that
commonwealth. To add to this confusion,
II is said that Kentucky did little better
than Virginia during the first years OF
its history. As a result additional "blan-
ket' grants made by the new state are
now challenged. in all about 2,5OO,OOO acres
Of land are said to lie under the doubtful
title Of these blanket" grants or this
amount the eastern Kentucky coal land
corporation, Of which c. 3. Hinhouse is
accredited with being the chief stock
owner, claims title TO half a million acres
On the other hand 10000 citizens Of tho
state Of Kentucky have entered these lands.
Claimants under the blanket" grants call
them "squatters." The attorney general
Of Kentucky has appeared in the supreme
court 10 assert I'm defense OF their claim

Recent legislation in Kentucky resulted
in decisions by the state courts which

claimants now come to the supreme court

Opening of Canal Pacific Ocean Even.

1t is fitting that the western states
should support San Francisco's claims
as the proper site for holding cele-
bration in honor of the opening of the
Panama canal. San Francisco is the
great seaport of Pacific-America, the
avenue of commerce over the vast Pa
eiRc ocean, and the recognized termi-
nal of the Panama Isthmian route from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. Putting
aside the relative value of the Panama
canal to any one part of the world, as
it is sure TO prove Of nearly equal value
to all, the real consideration lies in the
fact that nearly one-half of the human
race live in countries bordering on the
Pacific ocean, and the opening of this
new door to the Pacific and front door
to the world, is distinctly a Pacific
ocean event. Said William H. Seward
in 1882, before there was a railway OF
telegraph on any Pacific Seaboard OF

Possibilities of Prospecting.

Although it is probably true that
there are better opportunities today
for profitable mining in the old camps
than there are in new fields, it is not a
fact that the possibilities of prospect
ing have been exhausted. Even the
most thoroughly prospected regions
have not been exhaustively prospected.
Leadville had been thoroughly pros
pected before the carbonates were dis
covered. Prospectors have been going
sup and down and around over Boulder
county, Colorado, for half century,
but it is only within the last few years
that the tungsten deposits of the county
have been discovered and developed.
Minerals and ores with which the aver
age prospector is not familiar escape
attention, and new discoveries are just
as likely to be made along main travel
ed roads as in the most inaccessible
wilderness.
Mineral wealth may be hidden be-
meath fields of wheat and corn, and
more than one farmer has had riches
thrust upon him by the discovery of oil.
John M. Huddleston some years ago
had farm near Murfreesboro, in Pike
county, Arkansas. One day, while ex-
aiming the ground closely to see if the
blue and green colors he had noticed
indicated the presence of copper, he
found small crystal that he supposed
might be a diamond. On his way to
have it tested he found another. His
surmise proved correct; they were both
diamonds.
Subsequent investigation has estab-
lshed the fact that these stones occur
in place in a decomposed peridotite
forming volcanic pipe similar to those
in which the South African diamonds
are found. So far as explored, the
ground has been as rich as the average
in the diamond mines of South Africa
Other examples of the discovery o.
underground wealth in unexpected
) places will occur to everyone acquainted
with the history of mining. Some o.
: these discoveries have been recent, ant
| it is not unreasonable to suppose tina
there will be others in the future
Knowledge of the accessible portion O
the earth's crust and its contents i
7 still extremely limited.
Knowledge of the possible uses o
various metals is even more limite'
than knowledge concerning their oc
currence. Steel manufacture is still il
it's infancy, but the number Of alloy
known under the collective name o
steel is already beyond the grasp o
ady but specialists. Elements tina

THE LIONS HEAD.
Origin of Its Use as a Decoration For
Fountains.


1.-THE sun CLOVIS In the Lion" says
Seneca, meaning that when the sun
enters the sign of Leo at the summer
solstice the highest temperature of the
year is experienced. We may say on
the other hand, that the Babylonian
astrologers thousands Of years ago
placed the king Of beasts, the fiery and
ferocious lion, in that part of the 20
diac which the sun enters at the sum-
mer solstice
The constellation which is called Leo
bears very little resemblance to the
outline of a lion. Probably the name
was originally applied only to its-prin-
cipal, star, Regulus. 1t is to this con-
stellation in the zodiac that we owe
the countless water spewing lions
heads which are found In ancient and
modern fountains. because In the latter
part Of July. while the sun is still IN
the sign of Leo. the Nile is at its high
est level.
Furthermore, the lions head with
widely open jaws is in itself very suit
able for the mouth Of fountain or
waterspout. This decorative motif was
employed universally throughout the
Greco-Roman world. Lions heads are
found used in this way at Athens. Ephe-
sus, Olympia, Agrigentum and count
less other places. 1t is not quite GER
tain that this employment of the lions
head originated in Egypt. Curtius de-
scribes an Assyrian bas-relief from
Bairan showing water streaming from
" ring shaped vessel. A lion stands pc
If on guard on either side of the foun-
tain.
The water clcck, which was used in
judicial proceedings, had the form of a
llbit and a name which means tbf
guardian of the stream. Hence the
idea of protection may have been the
origin OF the association of lions will
fountains. and this custom may have
originated ii Ada.-st iaftiht Xmeri

THE MINING PROMOTER.

What would the mining industry 90
without the mining promoter?
He of the glad hand, the genial
smile: the gall of a mine rat and the
tenacity of a bull dog; fine judge of
character and utterly oblivious to the
cold nit or the back talk of the pessi
mist.
What would we do without him?
Viewed from the usual standpoint we
revile him. He is classed with the pro-
fessional deadbeat who lives by his wits.
His friends, even wink and nod to each
other when he passes by. He is a
great fisherman, but it is the general
impression that he is always out after
suckers; but,
When we have mining proposition
needing capital for it's development,
we make ''hot-foot" for the promoter.
We think we have proposition Of
merit that requires but little money to
transform it into a regular dividend
payer; and this must as usual thing
seek the assistance of the promoter.
Being in need of finances we find that
the merits of our enterprise must be
presented to the capitalistic class; and
we discover that with all of our large
array of boosted ability we do not
know how to get into touch with the
right people and be able to. separate
them from their money; although our

We forget all of his many failings; Of
the Islander which has been circulated
concerning him. In our eyes he is now
perfect god, and we hug him to oui
bosom, as it were. Then we send hin
out to the man and the masses In thei,
own fortresses. We expect him tc
scale the walls where we couldn't gel
look-in. He must dress like mil
lionaire and spend money like million
aire if he expects to interest the mil
lionaire in our enterprise. He mus
talk corn and hogs to the farmer ant
have hay-seed in his hair if he expect
to get after-harvest money for ou
mining venture. He must be thorough
ly familiar with the scriptures and b,
able to make a fiowery talk from tn,

goody-good and the ultra religious, ant
he must be able to play good hand a.
poker and be able to pick the winner il
a dog fight if he is able to interest tn
sporting element in our mining enter

And, he is always equal to the oeca
