LITIGATION OVER
MINING CLAIMS

Some time z. F. Wheeler of FL
ko, sought to have half dozen
mining claims in Tuscarora patent
ed. Then the Tuscarora Mines
Company filed an adverse claiming
that some of the land which Wheel
er desired to patent was owned by
the Tuscarora Company. Today
the plaintiff through Attorne, S
James Dysart and Otto Williams
filed bond for the costs of the
suit and the defendant filed a de-
murrer to the complaint. One of
the main grounds on which the
demurrer is based is that the Tus-
carora Company has no legal status
in Nevada.

MINING COMPANY MAY .
SETTLE CLAIMS

The long drawn out suit Of Dee
Clark against the Fletcher Clark
Mining and Milling Company and
the North Star Mining Company of
Jarbidge is still in the courts and
may be for a while yet, Some time
ago CLARK secured judgment for
Sl597 against the property by de-
fault on the part Of the company.
Other claims aggregated about
$4,000 it is said and the Sheriff
sold the properties to satify the
lien and j judgement. The Fletcher
Clark Company is a corporation
foreign to this state and none of
it officials were served in the pre-
vious suit. The company now en-
ters court and asks that the de-
fault be re-opened. The hearing
will be before Judge Taber next
Monday and a settlement or COM
promise may be reached.

Congressman Describes Impression
Made Upon Him by President
Wilson When Latter Address
ed House of Representatives

Washington, June, 27-The gal
leries had been crowded for an
hour! The Senators had filed in
solemnly two abreast, Vice Presi-
dent Marshall taking a sea. beside
Speaker Champ Clark. Then we
waited, for an hour, it seemed,
but really for a matter of fifteen
minutes. The air grew sitting,
and there was a rustling of fans in
the galleries.
Members talked in low tones
with their neighbors. Presently
there was commotion at the door,
and several members Of the cabi-
net came in. Secretaries Lane Nc
Adoo, Wilson and Houston. They
were escorted to chairs place for
them in front. Then another wait.
Finally when the nervousness of
the audience was growing appar-
eut, the clerk Of the House an
nounced loudly: "The President of
the United States" And a mo-
ment later, accompanied by the
escort committee, the president en-
tered.
The telegraph has already car
ried out the account of President
Woodrow Wilson reading his cur
rency message to the joint session
of the House and Senate. So l will
give the picture of the occasion
as it impressed US in the Presi-
dents audience. I wish | could
make every reader realize the sim
pie democracy and appealing man.
to-man character of these visits of
the President TO Congress.
Once inside the House Chamber
the President stepped briskly
upon the reading platform and
shook hands with Speaker Clark
and Vice President Marshall. Then
he stood waiting while Mr.. Clark
introduced him with brief sem
tence. Ordinarily the President
was plain gray business suit. But
for this formal occasion he wore
black frocK coat, gray trousers and
patent leather shoes. The long coat
made him look slenderer than
usual, and he seemed to me to be
pale as though the responsibilities
Of his Office are beginning to weigh
on him.
He began reading his message at
once in a quiet voice that immed-
lately hushed the crowded chamber
to intense silence. Not once, apo
parently did the president lift his
voice above conversation tone,
yet every word could be heard cas-
lily. He seems to have studied elo-
cution thoroughly; for he pays
much attention to careful, slow
pronunciation.
The President stood at the read
ing desk, holding his manuscript
on top of it. The more important
page he bad memorized. During
the entire recitation he made
scarcely a single gesture. Once in
a while to emphasize point he
waved his manuscript slightly from
