FAILS TO UPHOLD CON
 TENTION OF LAND OFFICE
(From Fridays Dailyl

Affecting all mining claims m the United States and in harmony with the liberal mineral land policy of this country, the Supreme court of the District of Columbia has decided that the land department has no authority and jurisdiction in the case brought against it by Ralph H. Cameron. Word of the Supreme court action was received yesterday at the office oi Attorney Robert F. Morrison, who with Joseph E. Morrison, brought the proceedings against Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane and Com missioner of the General Land Office Clay Tallman to test the question of the right of the land department to attack the validity of mining loca' ton where no application for patent has been made.
 The suit was brought by Joseph E.. Morrison while he was in Washing ton last Fall and resulted from the proceedings that arose in the United States land office at Phoenix
 Joseph E. Morrison i1 reference to the suit, according to word received from Phoenix, said:
 Something over two years ago the United States government in the United States land office in Phoenix instituted contests against IS unpat- ented mining claims for which appli- cation for patents had never been made. These contests were set for hearing last August when I argued pleas to the jurisdiction contending that the department of tine interior was wholly without jurisdiction to litigate or determine in the depart ment or any of its branches, any questions relating to unpate1ted min ing claims.
 ''The pleas to jurisdiction were over-ruled, and assisted by Robert E. Morrison of Prescott I immediately brought an action against the land officers to restrain them. This action was brought in the United States dis trict court Subsequently the courts denied the application for injunction and dismissed the case, largely on the theory that the action was brought against subordinates of the secretary cf interior.
 ''The present proceeding was prose cutcd by me in the Supreme court of the District of Columbia" continued Mir. Morrison. "The exact question involved is this-Mr. Cameron's con tention is that upon location of min- ing claims, the government parts with q vested right and title of such impor- tance, that 1t may be deeded, mort gagged, willed and treated in every way as real estate and the govern ment can only attack such vested right and title in the courts of the land and is without jurisdiction to do so in its own offices"

IMPORTANT MOVE
 IN REDUCTION CHANNELS
(From Sundays Daiiy)

Additional reduction facilities have been decided upon by the Consoll- dated Smelling Company of Hum boldt. it was learned yesterday from reliable sources. by which the fiota- ton mill is to be increased from Z5O tons per day to GOO tons per day.
 This movement is creating much favorable comment in mining circles. and Is supported bv the wonderful productive ability of the Blue Bell and DeSoto holdings. the former ship ping daily for treatment six cars and the latter four cars. Both mines. widely separated. are attaining note worthy consideration. the Blue Bell on the SO0-foot level being in a zone of copper that is bigOer and of bet ter grade than ever before developed.
 The situation at the DeSoto IS somewhat interesting. also. this prop ositio1 after few months of eXplora- ton exposing an immense tonnage of a good grade of cooper that has nc cessitated the taking off of one shit of miners owing 10 production eX- ceeding the calculations of the man agcment. Deep development has proved the wisdom of this principle being applied to old properties, and specifically i1 the case of the DeSoto has it been wholesomelv verified. The Blue Bell and the DeSoto form a parallel argument that is unanswer- able in the making of mines. from which surface indications were unin- viting. but from a geological stand point development to depth has been the key to solve what is today ad- mitted as two more big coppers being fully determined

LOW GRADE ORES OF
 CLIMAX TO BE TREATED
(Erom Saturday's Dailyl

NFIOIH OdtuIud1 DdIlSD
 Important developments have fol- lowed the trip of inspection made last week of R. M. Martin, president of the Climax Mining Company, who was accompanied by metallurgical engineer.
 NJ. E. Spaulding. secretary of the company, who returned a few days ago from Los Angeles. partially out lined yesterday the plans for future operations. which, it is anticipated, will be successful in solving the prob lem of treating the low grade ores, running into many thousands of tons. One dyke having a width of from 60 10 100 feet, is to be opened and the low grade values are to be millcd un- der the direction of the expert, who is introducing for the first time his special process of reduction for Cli- max ores. This movement means tl,at large mine force is to be em- p!oyed.
 In the meantime the mill is to start up to treat neavy tonnage of the high grade product, developed in the past few months and to get ready for the big test runs of lower grade ores.
 The Climax in recent years has proven a desirable property in its limited sphere of operations, being quietly and steadily producing with results that are reported to be sur prising. During one year with a force employed of not over ten min CTS. it had a record of yielding S33,- coo. The development during the past five years, it is presumed, has been extensive enough to expose an immense tonnage of the lower grade ore, and the economical milling of this product now seems assured.
 The inventor of the process to trea, the Climax product, it was stated yesterday has been making expert mental tests for over two years, and is now ready to make a practical demonstration.

time. General Funston conceived the plan of disguising a force of 79 Fili- pino scouts as Aguinaldo's expected re-enforcements. At the head of this command and accompanied by four ex-insurgent officers and four Ameri- can officers General Funston plunged into the jungle where no white man ever had been.
 Not Soldier Lost.
 After eight days march through the jungle. posing as prisoners taken by Aguinaldo's anticipated re-enforce- ments. General Funston and his men reached Aguinaldo's hiding place and arrested him without the loss of man. The president made General Funston brigadier general of the regular army in recognition of the exploit.
 He served here and there until a1, other chance came his way. This was the earthquake which shook San Francisco to pieces and started the great fire. As soon as the full scope of the catastrophe was known Gen eral Funston rushed troops to patrol the streets and guard the banks. As the disaster grew he rose to the occa- sion. He was policeman. fireman, un- dertaker and dominated civil author ity with army efficiency. He did not hesitate to assume responsibility. He telegraphed to the secretary of war:
 'I shall do everything in my power to render assistance and trust to the war department to authorize any act 1 may have to take"
 How thoroughly ne accomplished his task is history too recent to re- quire repetition. After the crisis was over The New York Sun said of Gen eral Funston:
 Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war, and Frederick Funston must be saluted as victor in a stupendous crisis"
 When ex-President Taft. then sec retary of war, went on his mission to Cuba, General Funston went with him. Subsequently he served as head of the army service schools at Fort Leavenwortn and in other routine posts of duty. Then came the Mex ican crisis of the Spring of 1914, when General Huerta's subordinates refus- ed to salute the American flag at Vera Cruz after firing on American sailors and marines. The navy took Vera Cruz and General Funston was sent there is command of a force of occupation and remained in com mand until the order to withdraw troops arrived.

RICH COPPER ORES
 FROM UNCLE SAM
(trom Sundays daily.)

F. l., Andrews. owner of the Uncle Sam group of copper mines, situated nine miles south Of Mayer, has re turned after performing assessment work and yesterday exhibited sam pies taken from shallow workings that attracted very much interest among mining men for their nigh grade contents. From different open ings samples were taken of peacock. green carbonate. red oxide. and some ore showing copper glance. Taking into consideration depth reached, and the heavy percentage of copper car ried in all samples. this property has every indication of proving valuable when depth IS given. Mir. Andrews returns tomorrow to his camp. to con tinue work.

FOOT AND MOUTH PLAGUE
QUARANTINE LIFTED,

The long fight against the foot ant
mouth disease is over. The Secretar,
of Agriculture at Washington issued ar
order which on Saturday removed al
foot and mouth quarantines and re-
strictions against the shipment ant
movement of livestock. The order
signeo specifically removed the qusran.
tine from small territory in Christian
county, Illinois, the last area under
suspicion. Along with the removal oi
this local quarantine the various Fed.
eral orders restricting shipment OF
cattle are rescinded, so that dealers
can now ship their cattle as before the
first quarantine was imposed.
On notification that the United States
Is free from the disease all foreign
Governments which have placed en-
bargoes on American cattle are expec-
ted to remove these embargoes, so
that cattle raisers Of Kentucky and
those OF other States will then be able
to resume shipments to these foreign
countries.
The magnitude OF the work OF eradi-
cation and control carried ON by farm
ers, shippers and the State and Federal
Governments is shown by the fact that
before controlled the disease had gain
ed temporary footing in twenty-five
States and the District of Columbia.
The disease appeared and was controll-
ed in 269 different counties.
AS q result OF better understanding
between the State and National Gov
ernments representatives OF the de-
partment believe that many OF the OBJ
stacles which confronted the authori-
ties in the last outbreak would not be
encountered in dealing with any future
occurrence OF the disease. The veter-
inarians, however, will not abate
their watchfulness for some time. Ex-
animation Of animals and animal pro-
ducts offered for import will continue
to be unusually strict. The depart
ment, moreover, particularly urges all
farmers and cattle handlers to notify
their State veterinarians and the de-
partment OF any suspicious cases OF
sore mouth combined with lameness In
their animals. Those in charge OF the
eradication work are confident that
the disease Is wiped out, but they wish
TO use every precau tion TO detect and
control any sporadic cases that may
develop In remote districts.
