 The original agreement with the Guggenheims contemplated the forma- ton of a corporation Is soon as the titles were secured. This plan gave the Guggenheims the right to mine the coal on a royalty basis. This Guggen- helms were also to build a railroad from the mines to the coast. As finally entered the agreement with the Gug- genheims aroused serious objection from several of the claimants.
 "The fact" says Commissioner Den nett. that is was reported to the Gug- genheims that there were 33 inde- pendent claimants to be reckoned with in no wise strengthens the defense. It is not to be supposed that any sane men represented these men as com mittee would suggest to a prospect i've purchaser of the property that the claims were illegal and the several en- tries subject to forfeiture.
 That all the work so far done was paid for from the common fund Is not denied. It is admitted by the claimants and frankly stated in the brief of ther counsel that one claim of 160 acres cannot be profitably worked. that some time and some how the claims must be operated together. Is it reasonable to suppose that busi-
  investments of their money to jointly explore a coal field in Alaska with the understa nding that the several claims should be operated separately or with no understanding with respect thereto? Would they consent to spend money jointly where there was to be no common profit?
 The Prior Agreement
 Knowing that an area of f6o acres could not be successfully operated and that greater the area the more val uable the property, would mean con nected by the ties of blood have con sented that their claims be scattered throughout the field? Would men who have been associated together as part ners since their youth and who had grown rich together have agreed to the placing of their claims at remote dis ant was to receive single tract and no interest in any other, would Gun ningham located the great majority of the men who first went into the scheme and made it's success possible on the timber claims of the southern tier claims which had but little value as compared with the others?
 If there was no prior agreement, would Clarence Cunningham in April, 1907, before any of the certificates were issued. have entered into negotiations with the Guggenheims. looking to the disposition of the com ed properties? :?
 The amounts contributed by the sev- eral entrymen were substantially the same. If it were not understood that there was to be a common profit would the sixteen upon whose claims nothing whatever was done have permitted the use of their funds for the development

Animals have their likes and dislikes

dogs. Horses loathe camels. and will
not stay In the same block with them
II they can help It.
II is hard to give a cause for these
aversions. Why should the horse dis.
like the harmless camel and be fond
Of tho dog?
II must be that the horse has .
dormant sense OF beauty and Of humor.
The ideal OF the horse Is grace. COM
bined with strength. He disapproves
from the bottom Of his nature Of tho
hopelessly vulgar. awkward and un-
esthetical camel. The bear. he sees
at once. though clumsy. is unpreten-
tious. truthful and not devoid Of .
sense OF humor The dog he recognizes
MS good fellow. companionable and
unselfish. a strong bond between the
dog and the horse Is that they are both
fond Of sport. whereas camel would
not go an inch to see the best race
that was ever run.
