THAT PATENT RULING AGAIN.

| We are glad that Senator Kearns
had 50 fair and full an opportunity to
present to Commissioner bennett of
the General Land office the objections
of practical miners to the recent rul
| ing of that office in the matter of the
application for patents of the Ibex
Gold Mining Company. We have
treated on this matter heretofore, and
the reader will recall that the ruling
complained of was that in order to OBJ
| tain patent to mining claim, the APP
plicant must prove not only the dis
covery Of lodge. but that the ledge
is profitable to work and goes into
the depths. This, as general PROPOSE
lion, is quite out of the question for
the man Of small means. The practice
heretofore has been that the discovery
of lode in place, the posting of
notice at the discovery point and the
setting of posts at the corners, the do.
ing of $500 worth of assessment work,
and forwarding the plats after public
notice, was sufficient to get patent
to the ground. There does not seem
to have been any complaint that this
liberty of patenting mining ground
has in any way been abused; in fact,
1t is difficult to see how it could be
abused. And yet the Land Office, in
the 1bex case, changed the ruling so
as to make it practically impossible
for prospector to do the work which
would bring him a patent.
Senator Kearns, in his talk with
Commissioner bennett, pointed these
things out, and Mr.. bennett conceded
their force. He assured the Senator
that his office had no intention of
crippling or retarding in any way the
development of the mineral resources
of the West. and generally speaking.
be said that his office "would deal
liberally with mining cases. and ''the
rule as to the showing Of mineral in
place on claim would not be applied
any more rigidly in the future than in
the past, After his talk with the
Commissioners, Senator Kearns ex-
pressed the opinion that mining men Of
the West need have no undue anxiety
concerning the attitude which would
be maintained toward them by the
General Land Office in dealing with
their applications for patents to mining
claims.
This assurance will be accepted by
the mining world as satisfactory The
lbex case, it appears, had some pecu.
liarities about it which invoked the
ruling complained Of. But now that
assurance is given that the rule
adopted in that case will not be gen
orally. applied, and that the old rule
will continue. will set the minds of
mining men at rest.

aside in the modern revival of those
games. But there are accounts of CON
tests in the old Olympic games that
give a pretty fair idea Of what the
rules were under which they were
played, and so far as those apply, they
should be adopted, and so far as they
need TO be supplemented, they should
be supplemented in the same spirit that
the known rules would imply. Inc

IT WAS TIE GAyEsr NIGHT.

4 As the accounts concentrate on the
point of the neglect of the warning
that icebergs were ahead of the Titan
ic On the night when she went down, II
gets clearer and clearer that ample
warning was had Dy those III charge OF
the ship, Of their danger. A vessel
meeting the Titanic signaled dangerous
| ice ahead. aud the receipt of the sig
nal was acknowledged with thanks.
But no regard was paid to it. 1t now
appears from the statements OF surv1-
vors that the lookouts on the Titanic
distinctly reported to the officer on the
bridge fifteen minutes before the con"
tact. that an iceberg was ahead IN the
| vessel IS course. This warning was re-
peated, and still no attention was paid
to 1t. The officer on the bridge was
not Captain Smith, and il was this of
fcer. it appears, and not the captain,
who shot himself, doubtless in remorse
at the fatal blunder which he had made
in failing to take note of the icebcrgs
in the way.
But there was feasting, music, and
festivity between decks. Every one
was iubilant, wine flowed freely, and
the success of the voyage was triumph
antly toasted. The scene irresistibly re-
minds one of Byron S great poem writ
ten Of the eve of waterloo, where
"There was sound Of revelry by
night and at Belgium cap
ita ''had gathered then her
beauty and her chivalry,' and
where. in the Joyous cxhilaration of the
dance, the music, and the feasting, call
went merry as a marriage :" And
as on that dark"shadowed occasion hun
dreds of the revelcrs went to death at
the call of the guns, so here hundreds
went to their death at the crash upon
the iceberg. The scenes are so similar
as to invoke the comparison, and doubt
less every one will think of it.
In the case of the Belgium festivi-
ties. no effort Of the revelers could
have warded of the deadly conflict that
ensued; but in the case of the Titanic.
the merest ordinary prccaution would
have saved all on board. The vessel
was going at speed, reckoned at from
81 to 25 knots an hour; she had had
full warning of the peril ahead, her
own lookouts had notified the officer on
the bridge that the iceberg lay in their
way, and still all warning was disre-
regarded. II seems as though fate had
a hand in it, and held the scale firmly
to the side of disaster and ruin. Some
times it seems that way, that those
who are fated to destruction 60 their
way blindly, hcedlessly, and without
the least attention TO any warning or
any caution. And SO the Titanic, which
could easily have been saved, and
which clearly ought to have been saved
by her officers, went to the deeps, the
due to a calous perversity, a
wicked determination to persist in n
course that inevitably led to the final
destruction. The vessel was evidently
doomed. aud nothing but the absence
of Mr. 1smay and a more vigilant at
tention by alert officers could have
ayerted the disaster But the ship was
foredoomed, and everything known
seemed but to. speed her to her fate.

TO CURB THE FLOODS.

| In view of the destructive tloods IN
the Mississippi River and its great
tributaries, the present is considered
by Senator Newlands of Nevada as an
opportnne time to inquire into the feast
bility of controlling the surplus waters
of the Mississippi Valley by way OF
storing them at their height, and re-
leasing them later on when the water
is low, in order to help navigation. Ac"
cordingly, he has introduced bill TO
provide board and fund 'for the
regulation and control of the flow of
navigable rivers in aid OF Interstate
commerce, and as means to that end
to provide for flood prevention and pro-
lection, and for the beneficial use OF
flood waters, and for water storage
and for the protection OF water sheds
from leuudation and erosion and from
forest fires, and for the cooperation OF
government services and bureaus with
each other and with States, municipali-
ties and other local agencies.
He has also introduced another bill
making an appropriation of $S,0o0,0Oo
for the relief Of the present sufferers
by the floods along the Mississippi and
it's tributaries.
Referring to the matter Of controlling
the flood waters of the Mississippi Val
ley. the task is generally referred to in
the Eastern papers as one not lmpos-
sible, but impractlcable by reason of
its assumed great cost, And yet the
losses every year by the floods amount
to millions of dollars. How many
years wonld it take to have these losses
aggregate as much as the cost of the
work Of flood preventionl We do not
believe that it would be necessary to
take very many years in order to make
the accounts balance.
Taking the Ohio River to begin with,
the floods are heavy and destructive
every year. Occasionally, the destruc-
tion amounts to very large figures, and
the computation of those who have
studied this question is that the losses
of one generation would fully provide
means for protecting all coming genera
tions from destruction by floods in that
river. The valleys Of the tributary
streams of the Ohio arc long, usually
quite narrow, but in ali of them are
good sites for dams and space for large
reservoirs. 1t would cost good deal
of money to do the wot tx; nor should the
task of controlling all of the river
floods of the Mississippi valley be be-
gun at once, for so little would be done
in any one place that it would hardly
count for anything. But il the work
should be begun on the headwaters
of the Ohio river, and extended TO the
main tributaries of that river, there
can be little doubt but that the whole
flood situation there could he controlled
at an expense that would not be ex-
traordinary when compared with the
annual losses that the floods inflict
Senator Ncwlands's s bill to set on foot
the preliminaries by way of inquirinp
into the feasibility Of such control is a
good one, and now is good time to
pass IL

Ostrom Meetings Close
Wonderful Religious Revival In Which
Entire Town Participated.

The wonderful Ostrom meetings which
stirred Pleasantville as the borough has
never been stirred before came to a
close last evening (Tuesday) after two
weeks of continuous religious activity
The interest began the opening night
and did not wane in the least, but like
a rolling stone gathering moss constant
ly increased until at the end the large
Wesley Church with its seating capac-
ity Of seven hundred or more was mad
equate to hold the throng and overflow
meetings were held in the Baptist
Church. Men who have led wrong life
avowed their intention of following
Christ in the future, those who had been
enemies for years grasped each other
by the hand and became friends again,
the town people became better acquaint-
ed and were drawn closer together as
community, the churches are together
today as never before, and the good eff
feet will be generally felt for years and
years to come.
Dr. Ostrom seemed to grow more elo-
quent as the meetings progressed and
intense interest was manifested by his
hearers at all times, and the fervor was
remarkable.
~ The program as outlined in the last
issue of The Pleasantville Press was
carried out without break.
In addition, convention of Church
officials and Sunday School workers of
Atlantic County and vicinity was held
on Monday of this week and meeting
for colored people was held in Red Mems
Hall late Monday evening
The farewell service was held last
evening (Tuesday), and today DIR. Os-
from and his assistants leave for Cali
fornia.
A notable feature of the meetings
was the singing by the chorus choir of
more than a hundred voices, which was
gotten together on short notice, and
their remarkable singing has never been
surpassed in Pleasantville. Indeed The
Pleasantville Press congratulates every
member of the choir upon the excellent
music rendered, and to Miss Dawson,
the organizer, especial praise should be
given for her efforts and the results
attained.
The following is a statement of the
receipts and disbursements:
