L|NDLtYS DEFINITION
Of MINERAL LAND

Lindley's definition of mineral
land may be stated as follows:
"The mineral character of the
land is established when it is
shown to have upon or within it
sucn substance as is recognized
as mineral, according to its chemi-
cal composition by the standard au-
thorities on the subject, or is class
flied as mineral product in trade
or commerce, or such substance
as possesses economic value for use
in trade. manufacture, or in orna-
mental arts, and it is demonstrated
that such substance exists therein
or thereon in such quantities as to
render the land more valuable for
the purpose of removing and mark
citing the substance, than for any
other purpose and the removing
and marketing of which will yield
a profit, or it is established that
such substance exists in the land in
such quantities as would justify a
prudent man in expanding labor
and capital in the effort to obtain
it,"

One Of the party, writing to 8
Reno friend, described the dinner
as follows:
"Mr. and Mrs. Paul Keyser.
alumni Of the University of Neva-
da. entertained at their home at
1147 East Yamhill street, Portland,
at Halloween dinner and took
their guests back over the old days
in Nevada. ....
"The rooms were decorated to
recall familiar scenes in and about
Reno and were artistic and beauti-
full; but the table was the immense
thing. Beside each plate was a
sprig of sagebrush Imported from
Nevada) the scent of which
brought back sweet memories of
that good old state. The courses
were many but the che that ap.
pealed most consisted of hot ia
males (also imported from Reno)
and made by "Tamale Joe," the
old original, at the "tamale joint"
where the old time classes used to
hold their impromptu sessions, the
place where the 1905 Sophomore
class gave its sensational smoker,
an event of history in university
days. Then came pumpkin pies
made from pumpkins shipped from
a farm in the Truckee meadows,
and it was the best pumpkin pie
ever served to hungry ssgebrush-
ers.
1.-THE cigars were all lighted with
blazing sagehrush to top off the
feast.
Zone room of the Keyser home
was decorated to represent a Me-
vada gambling house of the wild
and wnolly days. In one corner
stood a miniature roulette wheel,
with all the chips in sight and
ready for action. 1t was not long
idle. H. l.. WiIkerson. formerly
of Reno, was chosen as crol pier
and all tried their luck. As usual,
the game soon had all the coin.
In other parts of the room appear
ed faro table, a crap table and
even Fl game was operated. No
time was wasted in explaining
games because all were from Neva-
da. The evening was spent in this
amusing feature of the pioLeer
days Of the state.-Gazette.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S VIEW

These who were close to Presi-
dent Wilson at his Philadelphia
luncheon last week were all much
impressed, first by his youthful
appearance and second by the en-
tire absence from his face of any
look Of care, says a. Philadelphia
writer. The big job of the Presi-
ency-the biggest job in the world,
according to Speaker Champ Clark,
and since he tried hard to get it,
he doubtless measured its dimen-
sions-does not seem to fret W. Cd
row Wilson in even a small de-
gree.
One eminent Philadelphia re-
marked as he watched the presi-
dent: HE does not let anything
worry either his heart or head"
Even the stolid Cleveland once la
mented That he chad congress on
his hands" But President Wilson
has very fractions Congress on
his hands and he thrivts on it.
Congress and not he does the wor-
lying.

said he Looked through the White
House window and saw the whole

PIN-HEADEO POLICY

There is considerable discussion

Lincoln Highway proclamation is
sued lately by Governor Oddie.
The News is situated so far from
the office Of the Governor that the
prOclamatiOns do not reach this
Office, 50 we cannot comment upon
the last one. However, if the pro-
clamation is as pin-headed as the
policy which prevents the sending
nf state documents to papers not
in harmony with the governor
then we would say that the procIa-
nation must have been a rotten
one. Carson News.
The Independent must also be
on the governors blacklist as it did
not receive a copy of that famous
proclamation direct from his office.

the morning Of Admission Day. If

ed' as the News says, he is a de-
cideI misft in the governors chair.

OUR CHIEF BEEF COMPETITOR

Another accomplishment Of the
guacho is slaughtering the guitar.
With this instrument he accompan-
les himself while singing the plain
tive songs of the panpas. When
you hear the soft notes of the gui-
tar and the soft grooming lamenting
voice of some cowboy coming over
the prairie YOU realize that he, too,
knows that the wild free life is
nearing an end in Argentina even
as 1t is in the North American Re-
public. The ra.ch owner soon saw
the advantage of improving the
native strain in order to produce
an animal of greater weight. The
best bulls were imported and blood
ed cattle have become fad with
all the big ranch owners. The an
nual cattle show, which is held in
Buenos Ayres, is an exhibition of
stock that cannot be surpassed in
breed outside of Great Britain.
Most of the dressed beef from
Argentina goes to Europe and Eng
land. The American packer found
that his South American rival could
more than hold his own in that
field. But now the American pack
er has invaded Argentina. Already
the United States beef interests
have acquired several plants near
Buenos Ayres and these plants are
models for the native abattoirs.
The agricultural department in
Washington has sent down an ex-
pert to shaw Argentine meat pur-
veyors how beef must be killed and
dressed in order to meet the Unit
ed States inspection requirements.
In short time the American house
wife may expect supply from this
new butcher shop. And beefsteaks
from Buenos Ayres may be spec
ialty on chophouse menus. New

SILENT DIVORCE
CASE IS HEARD

What was probably the quietest
divorce case on record was heard
yesterday in Judge Ducker's court.
When the plaintiff testified not a
sound was heard save the scratch
ing of his pen. But the result was
just as effective as though he had
tearfully racited his martial woes
by word of mouth on the witness
stand. He penned the answers that
gave him divorce.
The case was that Of John A. OF
finger against Rebecca Ottinger,
both of the parties being deaf and
dumb. H. w. Huskey of Reno was
the attorney for the plaintiff, who
resides in Lovelock. How to take
his clients testimony was the pro.
blem which confronted Attorney
Hnskey, but he solved it by prepar-
ing set of typewritttn questions.
The oath was written out and OF.
finger raised his right hand, read
the paper and signed it. Then the
attorneys list of questions were
presented to him and he affixed his
written answer to each interroga-
tory. He answered in the same
manner a few questions PROFOUND
ed by Judge Quicker. In 6fteen
minutes it was all over and it was
certainly the most silent examina-
ton of witness on record.
Deputy Clerk Richie was par
ticularly pleased with the manner
in which the case was conducted
as he didn't have to speak a word.
