WILL, PAY MORE ATTENTION
TO LEGISLATIE TICKET

Speaking about the law makers
there will be grand fight on this part
% the ticket Not so much along
political lines but rather the cand-
date himself. The man who is elected
this fall can carry his head at an
acute angle because the winner will
be the MAJ in whom the people have
confidence. For years and years, ever
since Shep was a pup and before that,
the election of our law makers de-
pended 10 a large extent on his pull
and to which party he belonged But
this fact that right here is the vital
point-the law makers-and the man
who goes to Cai~on will be the fellow
who, instead of making a lot Of silly,
useless laws, viii pay his attention to
the unmaking of some that are on the
statute books and cutting down the
enormous expenses of the state gov
ernment. In fact there is more or less
talk Of getting out what you might
call the peoples ticket, only under
another name and every man who
would go on this ticket would be
placed there with the understanding
that he represented the people and
not certain party. Free Press.

PROPOSED Change
in mining LAWS

The mining bill introduced in the
house recently by Congressman Tay-
lor viii probably not get much fur
ther than favorable report of the
mines committee, says the Leadville
(Colo.) Herald Democrat. The admin.
istration is anxious to get its tolls cx-
emption repeal bill through the SEN
ate, and is also struggling with the
series of bills sfor the regulation Of
big business. III these are out Of the
way by next August, congress will be
ready to adjourn. The reasons for
the change in the laws may be sum-
That the present mining law was
not planned for the kind of mineral
deposits or mining conditions that we
amendatory act Of 1872 applied pri-
been adapted to the other forms Of
deposits.
That the present law disconrages
prospecting and discovery and devel-
opment of new mines
That one of the features of the
present mining law, which seems to
versally condemned, is the "apex"
or ra-lateral' right, by which
the miner is allowed to follow his
vein beneath the surface of land own
ell by another
sal demand for modification Of the
law that viii permit Of an appeal to
the courts from the decisions of the
land Office officials in metalliferous
mining cases.
A provision of the law requiring
notices of mining claims to be fled
with the general land Office or some
duly constituted federal Office. It is
asserted that Uncle Sam has been 9
very careless custodian of the mining
property, and that the United States
government today does not possess
either records or maps showing what
portions of its mineral lands have
been appropriated by valid mining To-
cations.
There is a wide discrepancy be-
tween the law pertaining to lode
claims and placer claims. As an IL
lustration, the law at present provides
limit to the time within which
patented quartz claims may be at
tackled for fraud or Irregularities Of
location, but makes no such provision
for lateral placer claims. Contests
have been brought against placer
patents 25 years after their issuance.
The law should provide the same pro-
lection for placer as for lode claims.
1t is asserted that the present
statutes are defective in permitting
the location of an unlimited number
of lode claims in any district and not
requiring actual and useful develop
ment. Many promising mining claims
and even districts, have been smoth-
cred for years by this practice.

BULLSNAKE FRIEND OF

.KLf|Nf PHOTO-P[AY
AT NIXON TUESDAY

The foolish infatuation of a youth
full soldier of France for woman of
high court standing, though flimsy
morally, who seeks to so completely
turn his head that she may use him
to injure the country for which he
had so valiantly fought, is the basis
of the romance that so absorbingly
holds the interest of spectators of
q For Napoleon and France George
Kleine's lates photodramatic sue
cess, which will be the attraction at
the Nixon opera house next Tuesday
evening
This photo-drama, with its unusual
atmosphere of perfume and gun
powder, is in six parts and ranks
"Quo vadis, "Antony and Cleo
patra' and "The Last Days of
Pompeii' as entertainment of the
first caliber. Economically it is by
far the most interesting.
Capt. Robert Larive, handsome
and unsophsticated young warrior,
fresh from laurels won on the battle
field, plunges into the butterfly life of
the French court, described as a
whirlpool of iniquity where virtue
and morality were strangers and in
trigue and degradation were the
fashion. He loses his head and his
heart to a renowned beauty, the toast
not only of the court. but Of the
world, though secretly political ad-
venturess. When she thinks his in
fatuation for her transcends his love
for his Emperor and country, We at
tempts to use him to serve her ques-
tionable ends. The manner in which
he escapes from her web, and her al
most successful plans to cause his
death as her price of vengeance, the
preserving of his liberty and honor
by the Little Corsican, and his re-
union with his devoted sister and
long lost father, who was nearly in
strumental in sending his own son to
death, are dramatically portrayed on
the screen.
Several magnificent scenes enhance
the presentation of the photo drama.
The reception and ball at the Paris
home of Marshall Larive, Madame De
Longueville's apartments and ball
given by another member of the
court, are marvels in the line of
photoedramatic stage settings and
costuming. These pictures are highly
educational as they furnish us so
wildly living illustrations of men and
women of fashion, their costumes and
uniforms, and the manners and Gus
toms that prevailed during the time
of the First Court.
