THE PRosPEcToR AND THE
LEASING SYSTEM.
TIKI

On another page Of today's Miner
will be found beautiful tribute to the
prospector. This serves as a basis for
a severe criticism of the tendency in
conservation circles and in congress to
tenn, so far as mineral location and ap-
preparation are concerned, to a leas-
ing system. A bill for this purpose
passed the lower house on the 9Th Of
last month and 1t Is now before the
senate. 1t Is also proposed to change
the mining laws by a general revision,
the main point to be gained being to
wipe out the so called apex law" The
article discussing these subjects of In
terest to prospectors, miners and the
people of mining communities in gen.
eral, Is by Chester T. KEENAN,, of
Colorado, now on visit to Murray.
Mr.. KEENAN, Is widely known as a geol-
ogist, mineralogist and mining engln-
eer In his home and adjoining states,
and his contribution In this issue
shows conelusively that In the practice
OF his profession he has given careful
study to the land and mining laws and
to the effect upon the mining industry |
of the changes now proposed under |
the specious plea of conservation of |
natural resources. His tribute to the
prospector, the hardships and priva-
tions that beset his path, the great
service he has performed and is per-
forming for the west, and the uncer-
tainty of his reward under the most
favorable conditions, is a faithful pic
ture Of the man who is an integral
factor in the mining industry and who
must be unhampered in his search for
the hidden treasures of the mountains ,
and deserts
If the federal government can re- +
tain jurisdiction over water power, q
coal oil and phosphate lands and levy c
tribute from their operation under a

step, and a very short one, for the gov I
eminent to withdraw all mineral land r
from entry and apply the leasing sys-
tenn to gold, silver, lead, copper. zinc :

PHONES ON CARS.

The street railway in a German city
provides all its cars with telephones,
enabling their crews to communicate
with headquarters by connecting the
instruments with wires that run be-
side the tracks.

Easy Money Rates Boom. Many
Special Stocks.
Exports Promise to Reach q
New High Figure.

New York. July 22.-The weeks
market reversed to a considerable ex-
tent the conditions of preceding pc
RODS, a fact generally attributed to
the easing of time and call money
rates. Special stocks which had suf-
fered from continuous liquidation and
concerted bear attacks made variable,
but for the most part substantial re-
coveries and other issues except rails,
which. were consistently backward,
also improved.
Much of the recovery was scored at
the expense of the short interest, the
quick rebound of certain stocks, indi-
eating a scarcity of supply. Second
Gry stee; and iron shares were unusu-
ally active but United States Steel
made comparatively little Roadway.
Steel Earnings.
Earnings of the steel corporation
for the second quarter, to be published
next Tue are expected to range
between S75,O0O.00O and sS0.000,00O,
far surprising all previous records.
The sluggish course of rails was that
directly due to the belief that fresh
foreign liquidation is imminent. Fur
Their heavy receipts of Briiish owned
American securities were reported but
whether these are to be offered to our
investors, or form the nucleus of
British loan remains to be seen. The
success of the new French loan seems
assured, the banking syndicate report
ing a widespread demand.
New Russian Loan?
Negotiations for a new Russian loan
are said TO be pending but the amount
and interest rate are yet in the in
formal stage. 1t is known that Amer
lean bankers are considering the
shifting of certain Canadian obliga-
tons now held in Lonuon to this mar
ket but this project is also subject
to further discussion.
Railroad earnings for June will is
sue next week and returns are expect
ed to compare favorably with recent
months General trade conditions as
reflected in bank clearings are much
in excess of the corresponding period
of last year, though slightly under
high records. Exports which include
war supplies in greater proportion
promise to attain new maximum.

IT'S A CHINESE PUZZLE
New President of China Finds Rebel
Provinces Still CnloyaL

Picking. China, July 22-Chinese
public opinion has been in a strange
~ uniformed state since the death of
Yuan Shi-Kai. The passing of the
would-be emperor was
hailed with rejoicing rather than sor-
row and efforts to enforce mourning
have been somewhat farcical.
Every day it becomes clearer that
many of the leaders of the revolution
In the south who declared Yuan Shi-
kafs retirement was the chief end
which they sought, had personal ambi-
tons and are not giving Lii Yuan
Hung the support which might rea-
sonably be expected of them Many
of the provinces have refused to re-
join the union and now demands are
made upon the president almost daily
by political leaders in the rebelling
provinces. Liang Shi-Yi and Chow
Tzu- Chi. the two members of the SOW
eminent who had most to do with
finances in China, have both resigned
under fire.
Tuan Chi-Jui. the premier. is being
attacked by the republican press and
while bitter criticism has not be IN di-
rected as yet toward Lii Yuan Hung,
there are many rumblings in the ma
tive press concerning his failure to
take immediate steps to eliminate all
the Yuan Shi-Kai crowd from the gov
eminent

GOOD TRADE WEEK WON'T RETAL|ATE
President Is Opposed to Trade
War With England.
He Hopes to Remove Blacklist
by Diplomatic Methods.

Washington, July 22.-President
Wilson was represented today as be-
ing adverse to any trade war between
the United States and Great Britain
and as opposed TO retaliatory legisla-
ton. The president is understood to
have stood out against any legislative
action in discussing the question with
his cabinet. He believes the matter
car be settled by diplomacy, it was
said.
There was strong demand in in
fluential administration circles, how
ever. for legislative action.
Retaliatory legislation giving the
government the right to refuse clear
ance to foreign vessels which dis
criminate against Anne ricans by re-
fusing to accept their cargoes was one
of the legislative remedies offered
Marion Letcher, trade adviser of the
state department has been in confer
ence with officials of the British en-
Dassy. Mr.. Letcher presented the in
formal representations of the state de-
partment seeking the withdrawal of
names of exporters from the blacklist.
While these informal negotiations
were in progress here, Ambassador
rage at London was given instructions
to take the individual cases up per
sonally with the British foreign office
The state department will take the
position that the British blacklist, as
II INT erferes with innocent American
trade, with neutrals, is indefensible
and wrong in principle.
No definite decision has been
reached as to the manner in which
the administration will combat the
ls1actory results cannot be obtained by
formal protest

new crusade against automobile steal

B. Krampe, proprietor of BARRIERS
agency was found guilty on a charge

Ell Paso, Tex, July 22.-The Mexi-
can town of Juarez, across the Rio

telegraph lines connection this section
of the border with Chihuahua City
have been cut.
Villista bandits are reported to have

town.
A message received by the Alvarado
Mining and Milling company from
I'arral stated that Gen. Luis Herrera
had confiscated fifteen carloads of
corn sent to that point to be distrib-
uted without cost 10 the starving pop
ulation. The Alvarado company is
owned by Americans and as an act of
charity, undertook to relieve the fam
ine-stricken district.
The corn was turned over to the So
ciety of San Vincente. Herrera re-
turned from Mexico City few days
ago, where he went to confer with
First Chief CarranZa, and ordered the
confiscation. The foodstuff has since
been sold by the officer at prices in
American gold which amount to ex-
tortiOn.
General Herrera has issued the fol-
lowing official circular which is ad-
dressed TO the public:
Headquarters had learned with ex-
IRENE disgust that the merchants, in
violation of the law, are refusing to
accept paper money, demanding their
merchandise be paid for In silver, or
at times offering to take said paper
money at an absurd price.

by means of this circular we give
notice tc the public in general that it
is their obligation to take our paper
money at the rate of 20 cents silver
with the understanding that any one
refusing will be executed by a firing
squad and this action will be taken

THE same course will be taken with
anyone altering the prices of their
merchandise.
