One of the measures provides that the assessment work for the year 1914 may be performed before the first day of January, 1916. The other bill provides that the requirements of the law as to assessment work be suspended for the year 1914.
 This matter was brought to my attention by some of the re- presentatives of the western states several weeks ago. I made investigation at tEat time and found that there was strong protest against the adoption of such policy, because many miners had already done their work and the passage of such a bill would be in the nature of a preference to those who had waited until the last of the year to comply with the provisions of the law. I also found that many men in the mining states ex- pected during the fall and win ter months to do this assess ment for others, and that the pOStpOnement of it would be in effect the shutting down of an industry.
 Canada has passed a similar measure, but this part of a. war policy which will allow prospectors and mine owners to volunteer for the European war without the loss of their claims. The necessity for the adoption of such a policy by the United States manifestly is not present.
 Without showing much stronger than has been made to me in favor of the adoption of such a policy as proposed in these bills, cannot advise that it would be wise to adopt either of these measures. In general, I believe our purpose should be to insist that he who holds the land shall use it.
 Cordially yours,
 (signed) FRANKLIN K. LANE,
 Secretary.

Mining Assessment Work Must Be
 Done.

The Secretary of the Interior has made an un- favorable report on the bills that have been introduced eX- empting mining claimants from assessment work for 1914. Without the approval of the De- partment it is impossible to pass legislation of this character. Secretary Lanes letter is as follows:
 Hon. Martin D. Foster,
 Chairman, Committee on Mines and Mining.
 House of Representatives. Dear Mr. Foster:
 I am in receipt of your request for an opinion as to the advisa- bility of the legislation propos- ed in the House bills 1914 and 1918, which bills provide for tine waiver during the year 1914 of the requirements of law for the annual assessment were on placer and lode mining claims.

An effort is being made by the people of southern Utah to de- velop some of the great re- sources of northern Mohave county. especially that of open ing up the great pine forests of the plateau country, along the Buckskin mount tains and to the east sf Hurricane Fault. This country has an immense area of forest of the same character and part of the San Francisco and MogoIlon forests. The goven- ment is ready to sell at least twenty millions of feet of this mber, but one of the require ments of the sale is that a rail road will have to be built into that region. Had the lumber king, Weyerhauser, lived the railroad would have been built to the Grand Canyon, on the northern rim, and a most wonderful country opened up to tourists, as well as giving an outlet to the mills and the mines of copper bearing ores of that section.

DUFFY. AND THOMPSON.
Democratic Campaign Manager and
 Assistant Made Good.

Whether it was an enemy of the democratic party, out of
 spleen or malice, through disap-
 pointment in not securing an of flee held by democrat or
 whether it was a democrat in a
 humorous vein originated the
 saying that democrat seldom
 dies and never resigns, history
 does not say. But that there
 are exceptions to the rule, what
 ever it's origin, is furnished in
 the person of Frank J. Duffy,
 who after being elected as judge
 of the Santa Cruz County Supe- rior Court rendered his resigna-
 tion to that position in order that he might return to the prac
 tice of his profession.
 The judge is a democrat of the tried and true kind though
 who while he may resign, never SurrenderS to the enemy. It was on account of his unswery- ing devotion to his party, as well as in recognition of his ex- elected to the position of chair man of the state democratic committee at the party con- ference in Phoenix in September He was also selected as the pre- siding officer of that conference.
 As such chairman it devolved upon, together with the secre- tary of the committee, c. c. Thompon to manage the cam paign for the candidates, and the result shows the wisdom of the choice The overwhelming majority given to the democratic ticket is the fruit of the splendid management of the campaign, as well as the loyalty of the voter of Arizona to government of the people, for the people, and by the people.
 Arrayed against the party were some of the most power full corporations in the state, which had for years been allow ed to dominate the politics of the old territory, but who lost their power when Arizona was admitted as state. It was for the purpose of regaining the power once more and of over throwing progressive govern ment that such a desperate eff fort was made to defeat the de- mocratic ticket, and which was so successfully thwarted by Judge Duffy and his most able | and efficient assistant, Secretary Thompson.
 Judge Duffy is one of the best known men in the state. Com ing to Arizona in 1888 just after graduating from the St. Law renee university of New York, | he engaged in educational work 1 in Maricopa and Gila counties, and during his duties in that con nection, fitted himself for the practice of law and in 1899 was 1 admitted to the bar in Santa | Cruz county, having in the mean time moved to Nogales, where he has ever since resided.
 Judge Duffy has held several | positions of trust in the county | of his adoption, among them being that of a member of the | twenty fifth territorial legisla- ture, district attorney and asses sor of Santa Cruz county, and | as stated, was elected the first | judge of that county on the ad mission of Arizona as state, | the position which he later re- signed d-Arizona Gazette.

J JOnnSOn, ISl U. 5. 01O- Ana there are grounds for a con , tention that the act of 1860 making grant to the Baca heir effected repeal pro tantO of the reservation of that act of 1854. But there are answers more directly under section 8 of that act The mere fact of a claimed Mexican grant did not
 reserve the lands covered by it..
 Lockhart V. Johnson, supra. It
 was only after their presentation
 to the Surveyor General of New
 Mexico for his report thereon
 that the lands were reserved "un-
 til the final action of Congress- :" There was no reservation eX.
 cept of that by this statute and
 it related only to lands covered
 by claim presented to the Surveyor General. There is no language in the treaties which implies a reservation. Lock hart V. Johnson, at P. 523.
 "The Tumacacori and Calaba- sas grant was not presented to t h e Surveyor General until June 9, 1861, and his report was not laid before Congress until May 24, 1880. A petition for confirmation of the San Jose de Sonoita grant was not presented to the Surveyor-General until December 1879. It will be seen therefore that there was no dis closure of these claims until af- ter the selection of the Baca grant and it's location by the Land Department, the consuma- tion of which was accomplished by the approval of the location April 9, 1861. Besides, the Tu- macacori and Calabasas claim was held untenable and void by this court (Faxon V. United States, I'll U. S.24Q, and the greater part of the San Jose de Sonoita claim as rejected in Ely's 171 U. s. 22O And we may say that before the Contzen survey was made section of the act of 1854 had been repealed. Lock hart ". Johnson, supra.
 "The contention that the land covered by these claims were reserved by the act of 1854 being untenable, it results that the only conflict with the Baca float as located April 9, 1864, which requires consideration and decision is the one arising from that part of the San Jose de Sonoita claim which has been confirmed as against the United States. And in any event the lands in that conflict are not public lands or subject to dis posal by the Land Department. They belong either to the owners of the Baca float or to the owners of the confirmed portion of the San Jose de Sonoita grant. But which is superior claim we cannot now consider or decide because the Sonoita claimants are not parties to this cause and because the question will more properly arise in the local courts and not in proceedings in the District of Columbia against the Secretary of the Interior.
 With this explanation of our former opinion, leave to file the petition for rehearing is denied"

Nobody understood Mrs. Trill, the

which she called the power of mind
had achieved marvellous results. There

Dick Rosson. counsel for the defense

admitted that the prosecuting attorney
had succeeded in enmeshing Ben Weber
in a battling net OF circumstantial evi.
dence, and that things looked dark fol
his client. Weber had been discharged
from the mills because of drunkenness
and two days later the owner had been
found dead killed by a bullet fired from
Weber's revolver. II had been estab-
lished that Weber had been drunk on the
night of the murder and that he had
been seen in the vicinity of the mills.

George Steele had made all the money
he possessed by his own efforts, and was
proud of It. He was a plain man, and
the son Of plain people. The idea tnat
anyone should be ashamed OF him or
any of his family lad never. for mo-
nent, occurred to him.
When. by stroke of luck, one Oh
Georges inventions began to pay him
tremendous royalties. he was enabled
to fulfil his dearest wish by marrying
Marion Ashmead When Marion discov-
cred that Georges mother smoked
pipe, she was greatly disguised. Ac-
.customed, as she was, to surroundings OF
delicacy and refinement, the plain, sub
stantial crudities of the Steele home
came to her as distinct shock. So dis
tasteful did 1t all seem that she began
at once to beg George to buy house
more fitted to their new position in life
George readily complied with her wish.
A couple of month later they We're safe
ly installed in the new house Old Mrs
Steele did not care for the change. The
associations of the old home meant more
to her than George could possibly have
realized. Marion would not let her smoke
her pipe in the new house. and in addi-
ton the young wife continually made the
poor old woman feel that she was dis
tinctly unwelcome.
At last old Mrs. Steele crept quietly
away one night and went back to the
old home. Georges discovery of his
mothers action fed to a dramatic scene
with Marion which ended in George leav-
ing his wife alone in the new house, and
going home to his mother.
After George left Frank McReynolds,
a lifelong friend of Marion's, became
very attractive to her. Under his infiu
ence Marion gradually drifted back into
the careless gay life of society. One
night. during supper at a large dance,
she lighted a cigarette. As she did so a
sudden remembrance flashed upon her
OF the cruel words with which she had
reproached Georges mother for smoking
her pipe. After the dance Reynolds
kissed her.
Filled with remorse. Marion returned
home. As she reviewed her conduct of
the past few weeks. a wave of homesick-
ness and regret swept over her. Putting
on her things, she hurried over to the old
house. George was reading to his mother
beside the fire. Sobbing, Marion flung
herself into the kind old arms.
