Arguments were recently had before the supreme court of the United States ir q case involving the right of the president of the United States to make, by executive order, permanent reservations of public land on which Cl deposits were found. The fnal determination of this case is of con siderable importance as settling | principle, and 1t has some further value in the light which the decis- ion will throw upon the controversy precipitated by the radical conserva- tic nists with Secretary Ballinger.
 Under the Roosevelt adminstrat tion executive withdrawals of the public lands from the operation of the land laws were of frequent occurrences. All If the coal lands in Alaska were with drawn under such orders Finally 1t was decided to withdraw also all pub .lc lands on which there was possi- biiity of developing water powers, and blanket reservations of enormous ex- tent made for such purposes. Reser- vations of coal and oil lands followed
 Secretary Ballinger held. and was supported in his contention by Presi dent Taft. that such reservations were rot, authorized by law. There might it temporary reservations made by txecuctive order, but he did not be- lieve that by blanket and permanent reservations the executive had power to annul the land laws which had been passed by congress

The new law enacted by the ter. rtoral legislature last spring in re- gard to the number of placer claims tl'ah may be located by power of at torney is well criticised in the Daw- son News. which reads:
 The new Alaskan laws limit the number of powers of attorney for the purpose of stalking placer property to two claims to each man in the dis trlct where the stalking is done, and each individual in the district there fore can represent himself and two others, or have the power of three persons for acquiring ground. He may stake two claims for each of the three every "calcndar month." in other words d total of six claims. Webster : p.vrs two definitions for "calcndar month" one is. Any of the months DOW adjusted in the Grcgurian calcn- dar." The second definition is. "The tune from any day of such a month to the corrcspundng day of the next month" If tn" first definition is ac- c,ptrd under the law. one might stake f,r oneself and with two powers of attorney the last day of n month and again the next day. when would he thc next succrcdiug month. Under the second definition, practically thir- ty days would have to claps". If the frequency of stalking k To be made u, form in Alaska, II would he much simpler if definition be inserted u! what constitutes a "calcndar month. some would prefer an interval of thir- Y days between stalking iu the name ut each individual but it is to be remembered the two claims staked under each power of attorney at pres cnt may not happen L. be staked on the same day, which would cumplicatc the calculations. Here, again, it might L, arranged that an individual be all lowed to stake one claim only every fifteen days. either for himself or for tLOse for whom he holds power of at torney This would be generous al- io vance. The Alaskan law also should say definitely on how many creeks n. in how many districts the stalker, fer himself and others. may stalk" Ia

NOME, ALASKA, MARCH 13, 1914

It is very easy to get enthusiastic over things. Anything. A man mlv sit down and figure out some plan tCl the betterment of the public or tho town or some particular object 0: charity or sport and work him. self up into quite an enthusiastic frame of mind over the subject
 Just as long as that man is enthus- iastic he is q good booster and, if the object of his boost be worthy, he is CT the right track.
 Then he goes and tells it all to some tfCsiast. That is fine. It makes two and together they start out and find third man whom they convince of the rightness and the practicability C: their plan. Three enthusiasts. things are going great.
 These three men decide to push the scheme along, whatever 1t is, and they are willing to give up their time and energy to the mater. They start out t. gather in the quest of people who can help. They find Mir. Fourth Man and they tell him just how things ccntented smile wait for Mir. Fourth Nan to come across with the enthus4

 Cheerful little companion, this Mir Fourth Man. He such d lot of helr tC the community and to the people who are trying to do things.
 The three original boosters for the proposition that MT. Fourth Man luocked will take his attitude in diff f+rent ways. One of them will say Perhaps Fourth Man Is right after all he'd not thought of this feature oI of that feature that he has just men. toned and l guess l went off little too swift with this proposition. Yes oFurth Man is right. 1t is rather Il punk affair, guess I'll drop it.
 Another one of the original boosters Will figure 1t bit differently. He will say to himself: Lets see, Fourth Mau is considerable of a power about here He's deep too. Guess he has some reason for taking this stand. The thing looks good on the face of it but. if oFurth Man does not want to put 1t over he probably has some very st cd reason and l cannot afford t' a: tagonize him just now.

Cleaned from the Housatonic Republi- can of 55 Years Ago.
 The Falls Village "Housatonic Re- publican" i'll it's issue of July 9, 1859, reported the Fourth of July celebration in considerable detail. The Falls Villagers began to gather at an early hour, in the streets, from the neighbor- ing villages, and even from the rural retreats of .Cobbledale and Dog town" It appears that there was some mis- understanding about the hour for the races on the Fair grounds, "a discus sion having arose as to whether the races were to begin at P. M. or 10 P. M. The matter was arranged by split | ting the difference and the race began at about 4:30 P. M." The races wei @ witnessed by Eat least a thousand persons, including small boys on the fences, although we could not person. ally appear before Judge Granger as to the correctness of this figure.' Among those present -four reporter noticed the familiar faces of Gov. Holley and MT. Burrall and family, of Lakeville. In the race for the $50 purse, mile heats, the purse was divided between J. Pratt and l.. Miller; time, 3:283, 3:25, 3:18, 3:20. For the $25 purse, horses owned by John Pratt, N. VanDeusen and H. Botsford ran; won in two straight heats I by Pratt; time, 3:28 and SIS. Ten dollar purse, M. Howe, 3:11;. H. Bots- ford, 3:24; D. Brewster, 3:33. A foot race between Cornwall Indian and a Do ox1zb al AfrinoY, hxYf 4 na Indian, who distanced his competitor; time 2:16 for the half-mile. Before the races w. Peck entered pacing mare, Nellie Peck, one-mile heat against time; made in 2:56, thus beating the ;. field. . el.
 Another evidence of that good old custom of laying things on the editor $ desk: "We have to thank MT. D. F. Beebe of this town for generous present of large ripe Strawberries on Saturday last. They were good for sore eyes to look at-and not bad to take otherwise. ..-
 "One thing we have omitted to speak of in our account of our celebration viz. The Lakeville Brass Band They came up before our Office in the morn. ing, and gave us salutation and a serenade and thus beginning aright- we believe their performances gave universal satisfaction all day. Ditto 'Bub Whites Band all night"
 Here's a. peppery one for careless contemporary: "The Winsted Herald will be kind enough to take a little more pains in its stealings from this paper, whether in its items from Tor, ringford or elsewhere-and credit them to the proper source, (if it chooses to give credit at all,) and not give to the Courant the due which belongs to The Republican.

NJ CABE CAMP IS
To Be REVIVED
Three Famous Old Gold
Mines of Yavapai Coun-
ty Are Merged.

Prescott, Ariz, Dec. 3O.-Three
famous old gold mines of Yavapai
county-the Henrietta, McCabe and
Gladstone-have been merged under
the ownership of the Copper. Gold Con-
solidated, a new syndicate in which
English capital is heavily interested,
This means the rehabilitation of the
old abandoned town of McCabe.
The Henrietta was purchased from
the Braganza Mining company and the
McCabe and Gladstone from the Model
Mining company. Those companies,
however, have not operated the prop
critics for years. The groups have been
held by various parties under leases
and options. All were heavy producers
in the early days and it is believed that
only little systematic Development
combined with modern methods Of ore
reduction, will restore them to their
former glory.
Extensive development work Is to be
undertaken on all three groups At
the Henrietta a crosscut will be driven
to 1ntersect the Henrietta vein. Sink
ing viii be commenced from tunnel
a little higher up on the mountain.
Development has been under way some
time in what is know as the old tun-
mel, and the ore now being handled at
the mill comes from that section of the
mine.
There is an 100 foot shaft on the
Gladstone and another 1000 feet deep
on the McCabe Both are filled with
water but viii be unwatered at once.
New Mill Is Started.
The 40 ton Nissen mill at the Dun
kirk mine, on Slate creek, started up
Christmas. morning. A new sinner,
regrinding process, patent RIFLES and
other new equipment have been IN
stalled. There are $500 tons of ore on
the dump and this is being rapidly
augmented. Ten men are employed.
Operations on a large scale will be
Gold Mining company shortly after
January l. The main shaft viii be
driven to depth and stations cut at
every 100 feet. This was determined
on after a mill test in the little plant
with which the Cactus is equipped. It
will now be abandoned and a larger
mill installed.
Work Resumes on Swansea.
Although the Swansea Consolidated
Gold & Copper company is in the hands
of a receiver, the receiver has COM
pleted negotiations with Denver syn
dictate which is now in charge at the
property. Work has been resumed
and about March l heavy shipments
Of ore to the Humboldt smelter will
begin. At first only the surface and
dump ore win be shipped but the
workings are being unwateFed and the
mine should soon be a producer. The
Swansea ores carry a higher percent
age or iron oxides and are valuable for
fluXing
Another property expected to be
shipping to Humboldt by March / is
the De Soto, at Middleton. Large
bodies of low grade ore have been ex-
posed in the Hot Number tunnel, which
is double tracked for a distance of 1900
feet

CHAPTER XXIX
? T was the nsorning after Fanny's
dinner with CrandalL It was also,

= was the TsOrnlnE aILer fanny
dinner with Cranda1. It was also,
- incidentally, Christmas eve.
Fanny had oversight and had been
forced to hurry to reach the barber
shop if she would escape a look of ad-
monition from Mr.. Hall She had not
gotten to bed until after II o'clock last
night, for even after she had reached
home she sat and thought over the
evening instead of going to sleep. The
dinner had impressed her as wonderful
and she had eaten it with a zest tenn
pered by nervousness lest she should
rot say the correctly appreciative thing
about the various viands which Gran
dali ordered with a disregard for ex-
pense that confirmed the girl in her
conviction that he had lots of money!
He had even offered her champa gne,
but she had declined it with a posi-
tiveness that surprised him. He did
not know that her grandmother had
been a total abstainer and had al
ways spoken of girls who drank with
men as creatures who were already
started down hill to perdition.
OF course, Fanny unused, it was all
right for Crandall to offer her wine
for rich men were in the habit of
drinking it. But she would show
him by her refusal of it what kind of
girl she was She had a self
righteous glow as she thought that
Nellie Benson would approve of this
action. She did not let herself con-
slider what Nellie would think of her
dining with a man of whom she knew
next to nothing.
The dinner over, her escort sug-
gested that they go to hear a musical
comedy that was having a big run in
New York. It was too late, he said.
to go to a regular play, for 1t was
past nine o'clock now, but this musical
show one could pick up at any old
time" He proved his generosity or ex-
travagance again by getting orchestra
chairs and Fanny, whose views of
theatrical representations had been
from first or second balcony, thrilled
with a sense Of luxury and opulence.
But the most delightful experiences
must end, and looking back this
morning on the evening, it seemed
like a beautiful dream that had been
all too short. Crandal had brought
her home in a cab and she had opened
the apartment door very softly, trust
ing that her latch key would not click
in the lock. Stealthily she crent down
the hall to her little room, mindful of
her landady's sharp ears and still
sharper curiosity.
Fanny had slept heavily all night,
which accounted for her hardness this
morning. Yet she hurried to such eff
feet that she was only ten minutes
late in reaching the Cairo. No harm
was done, for there were no customers
waiting for her.
Nellie Calls Her Up Over Phone.
Indeed her customers were few all
day-for on Christmas Eve who has
time to stop to be manicured? Men
rushed in for shaves, and rushed out
as soon as the BARRIERS released them.
