submitted by the committee on legis-
lation. In which various alterations
Of West Virginia laws are advocated
for the most part pertaining to rules,
procedure and practice. Addresses
were delivered by Roscoe Pound, OF
the law school Of Harvard Universally
and John w. Davis, federal solicitor
general.
The report Of the committee on, leg
islation Is as follows:
Several Changes.
Pursuant to the recommendation
iof the bar association at its meeting
last year in Parkersburg, the legis-
latpre Of the state OF West Virginia
has enacted apter sixty-nine Of 'the
acts Of 1915 relative to appellate pro
cedure: also chapter seventy-two OF

lating to proof by AFFIDAVIT OF debts
for money due on contracts before
commissioners In chancery, and chap
ter seyenty-nine, authorizing proof BY
af1davit Of claim for money due on

! a 1on M ucnJ q lou, n1.a ~ ~, rc..a,, -,
three of said acts, relating to pro-
cedure In divorce cases; also chapter
eighty-two Of said acts regulating
the practice Of law and the licensing

other states.
II.
The attention Of your committee
has been called to section six ol
chapter 121 Of the code, as amend
ed by the legislature in l91 S, which
Is not as clear In one or two par:
ticulars as 1t might be: (1) as Il
the nature Of the proof required

dltion to the AFFIDAVIT itself II the
defendant fails to appear; and (2)
as to whether an original affidavit
or copy thereof shall be served upon
the defendant. Your committee re.
commends that said section be 81
changed as to permit copy Of the
affidavit to be served upon the de.

Cripple Creek, Colo-The late ship,
ment from the Cresson mine "vug'
or cave at the 1,200-foot level, made a
few days ago, is reported unofficially
to have milled to a gross value oil
about 100000 in gold.
The consignment was made in four
carload lots, two of sacked highgrade
ore and two of ore in bulk, from which
while carrying excellent average val
ues to the ton, not classed as strict
ly bonanza ore by comparison with
the sacked material.
1t is believed that the highg grade
shipment returned not far from $140,-
300 gross, and that the coarse ore
returned total gross value of about
$4,000.
Since the great riches were encoun-
.ered in the Cresson, little more than
Jour months ago, the total gross value
Of all the shipments which have been
made from the ore shoot in the cave
section is somewhere between $1,000
300 and s1,2O0,0O0 in gold, estimated
on information from semiofficial
sources.
The record of gold production dur
ing the last four months from the
Cresson bonanza shoot is the best that
mas ever been recorded within that
length of time from any gold mine on
the American continent, it is stated.
At the present time conditions for
still further heavy production from the
'vug" workings are reported to be
favorable.
1t is reported that the Queen Gold
Mining Company, formerly known as
the Ell Orc Company, which took over
few months ago all the holdings of
the latter corporation on Battle noun
tain and adopted the former title, is
about to begin an active plan of de-
velopment which contemplates sink
ing the shaft an additional depth of
1875 feet or more and the extension of
one of the levels to distance of about
400 feet. Considerable other explora-
tory work of an important character
is also planned.

Indications are that the total will

REDUCES THE PENALTY
FOR NEGLECTING DUTY
Secretary Daniels Issues Order Miti.
eating Sentences of Capt. Niblack
and Lieut.. Commander Arnold.

Following the recommendation of
the chief of the bureau of navigation
Secretary Daniels has mitigated the
sentences imposed by court-nartial in
the cases of Capt. A. L. Niblack and
Lieut.. Commander Clarence l.. Arnold
of the L. S. S. Michigan, convicted of
the charge of neglect of duty in con-
nection with the grounding of the
vessel in Chesapeake bay last Novem-
ber. Capt. Niblack was sentenced to
lose twenty numbers in his grade and
Commander Arnold to lose forty num-
bers.
The sentence in the case of Capt.
Niblack was reduced to the loss of
five numbers and the sentence in the
case of Commander Arnold to the loss
of ten numbers. The Secretary called
attention to the fact that the Michigan
was put aground by the falling tide
after she had anchored in Chesapeak Ike
bay during a dark and hazy night, and
was fioated without damage.
