intensely Industrious in his office
and untiring in his energies and sac
rifices for the welfare of the con-
sress. In fact it would have never

At Thursday mornings meeting.
Mr.. Will l.. Clark moved a resolution
urging that congress pass a bill pro-
viding for the codification and pub
LEGATION of the nations mining laws.
| IT has been admitted for many years
that this was a great necessity. but
congress has never felt disposed to

mining suits over this abominable
law. see the enormously costly litiga-

A very good point was made by
Seeley w Mudd. he made the asser-
ton that no law will be successful

present war was begun in sort OF
desperation. An honor of distinction
