Today, as on each day of the sessions
OF the International conference of Scottish

there was a general sitting of the full
conference, which soon gave away to
section or committee meetings in prepara-
ton for the final action to be taken by
the delegates in full conference This
afternoon at = o'clock the delegates, their
wives and accompanying friends, under
the escort of the committee on fraternal
courtesy, paid visits to the Capitol and
the Congressional Library buildings, and
later took sightseeing rides through tile
city and it's suburbs
Much interest is being manifested by
Masons generally IN the outcome of the
deliberations now in progress in the con-
ference, and in the final action that may
be taken. An optimistic view of the
result, it is said, is general following the
addresses at the banquet at the New Will

considered, but some idea of the range

Faithful to the End.

During an exploring expedition in the arctic regions. some years ago. the men spent considerable time hunIing polar bears. One day q party in an open boat saw big bear with two cubs on inc ice not far distant. As the boat drew near, the sailors threw them great Jumps of walrus flesh, and thesc inc old bear divided among her cubs, rrsrrving only small portion for herself. Then, while all three were feeding in a bunch, the sailors fired. instantly killing the cubs and severely wOunding the dam. II actually rXcXiled pity to see her behavior. Though fla tally wounded, she lore another lump of meat in pieces and laid it before the cubs. When she found they would not eat, she tried l0 raise them up, all the while moaning piieOusly.

THE LAW OF THE APEX.

Under the mining law of the United states, the owner of a mining claim which includes the apex of lode is allowed to fol- low the lode along the dip for an indefinite distance, no matter who claims the surface Ovrrlying the lode as 1t goes downward. The apex is not necessarily an ouicrop, nor is an 0utcrOp necessarily the apex of the lode. There have been instances where the apex has been concealed beneath the surface, and an 0utcrOp on the same lode has appeared lower down. The right of mining in such instances always goes to the claimant who has the right to the apex.
 The idea of the apex law was based on the principle that the discovercr of a vein should be en- titled to his part of the vein to its entire depth. At the same time 1t was regarded as working a hardship upon the miner to re- quirc him 10 hold and do assess ment work upon the entire sur face nvcrlying the inclined vein. This would mean. also, withhold ing large surface from prospect ing by others. However, the apex law has been the source of much confusion and of expensive liLiga- tion in settling inc question of ownership of valuable mining properties in the west.
 If all veins occupied fairly reg ular Assures in the earth, like leaves in a book, the law would be satisfactory. But since the law was placed upon the statute books, it has been found that ore deposits occur with great irrcg- ularity, especially in the ease of base metal veins and lOdcS. The law makes no provision for the varying conditions under which apcXcS are found. Various court decisions have sought to make up Tor this deficiency in the law, but It always remains for TrOlOgiStS and engineers to decide first who has the apex.
 Tn" nppOriIlnily for injustice under SuGh~riTndiIiOns need not be argued. II can hr understood road Ily why there is a large and con Stanily growing group of mining men who are work ing Iu secure the adoption of inc practice in vogue in European countries, where the claim owner possesses mining rights only within ihr vnr- tical liniiS of his rlaim.-- Fair banks Times.
