MINING LEASE
FEDERALCOURT BUILDING
ACCEPTANCE OF RENTAL REM
DERED OTHER CONDITIONS
OF LEASE VOID.

A recent decision of the United
States circuit court of appeals is in
structve on the right of a lessor of
mining property to forfeit the lease
fer inactivity of the lessee in devel-
opment. (Niles Land Co. VS., Chem
ung Iron Co, 234 Federal Reporter,
294).
Complainant leased tract of Min
nesota iron-ore lands to defendant in
1902 for a term of so years, defendant
agreeing to work the mine or mines
now or hereafter discovered on said
lana in a good Workmanlike manner
during the existence of this license"
The lessee was also required to pay
a tonnage royalty of 25c., $12,5O0
ground rent for the first year, and
.$1S,750 annually thereafter, being
credited, however, on such rental to
TIE amount of royalties currently
paid BY another clause of the lease,
complainant, as lessor, was empower
ed to forfeit the lease on the lessee S
failure to work such mine or mines
in good, workmanlike manner, F"
or Ito pay the ground rent or royalty
when due"
! Claiming that the leased mine had
not been worked by the lessee or its
successor for ten years following the
execution of the lease, except for eX-
ploration purposes, although the
ground rent was duly paid and receiv-
ed by complainant without objection
suit was brought to forfeit the lease
The United States district court fol
Minnesota decreed that, under the
terms of the contract there was ne
right to forfeiture, and dismissed
the suit. This determination has beer
affirmed by the circuit court of APP
peals for the eighth circuit
In the opinion of the higher court
the lease was not so worded as to re-
oGre the lessee to begin development
work within reasonable time or tC
conduct such operations continuously
as claimed by the lessor, payment Of
annual ground rent being interpreted
as standing in lieu of actual opera
tions./ The court recognizes the point
however, that if the payment of ton
mage royalties had been the only con-
81 1eration for the lease a different de-
cision would probably have resulted.
In reaching the conclusion, the court
applies the general rules of law thai
fOrfeitures of leases will not be de-
creed unless the lessee establishes 8
clear right thereto and that clauses Of
doubtful meaning are to be construed
most strongly in favor of the lessee.
As an additional ground supporting
the decision, it is decided that the
.omplainant's receipt of payment o.
the annual ground rentals for severa
years, without Directing to the della!
in beginning development of the mine
Eamounted to an acquiescence on com
plainant's part in the lessees appar
lent Interpretation of the lease as no
requiring development so long as tn
ground rent was paid

COPPER AND coRRosloN.

An Effective Preventive When intro
duced Into Steel.
Tests recently were made to. deter
mine the relative resistance or iron,
steel and number of alloys, to at
mospheric corrosion. Taken as a
whole the results indicate that copper
bearing steels are superior to any of
the other materials tested. 1t was
found that pure iron, including char
coal iron, is more resistant than the
ordinary steel but that the addition of
OBS per cent of copper to the steel
causes a remarkable increase in its
ability to resist atmospheric corro-
sion The addition of copper to pure
iron also results in an increased re-
sistance but not to the same extent as
the addition of a similar amount OF
steel 1t is believed that the copper
exerts a greater influence in the steel
than in iron, due to the combined pres
ence of copper and manganese since
the chief difference in iron and steel
iq~in the manganese content The ex-
act function of this combination In
the alloy is as yet not clearly under
stood.

AMERICA LOSING
 ORIENTAL TRADE

Seqt.le, Jan. 14-With the pass nv of the seamen's bill the Un- tied states rIost the opportunity of the century to corner the business cf China. and likely will even lose it's present trade with the orient, according to F, J. Berry, an i'm porter ana exporter Of Shanghai. MT. Berry, who has been in business in shargLai for the last fourteen years views the situation in a pessimistie mood, and says that unless the situation improves he will be forced t. close Up his affairs and re- turn to America.
 The revolution in China, he de- clares is of small importance. and he believes Yuan Shi Kai to be too firmly intrenched to be successful ly disIodged.
 America certainly lost all chance of ever building up any great trade with the Orient when she passed the seamen's bill," he said yes terday. "The consequent with drawaI or the Pacific Mail and oth- CT lines had a pronounced and de- pressing effect on the affairs of American exporters alI importers, and today freight rates are so pro bibitiyeIy high that it is practical Iy impossible to do business.

Amsterdam, Jan. 15-The cham Der of commerce of Antwerp has issued a report written by it's presi- dent, E. Castelein, to the mem bers of the permanent deputaton which represents the chamber be- fore the Belgian government outlin- ing the steps which the Belgian pro yinces had taken to pay the German war levy of 4SO,OOO,0OO francs ($96,JOO,OOO). The report states:
 "The Belgian provinces have just paid the German administration the ninth monthly installment of the war levy of 4SO,OOO,0OO francs, They have up to date actually paid out 36O,OOO,OOO francs ($72,- OoO,OOO), of which 45,CcO,OOO are to be credited to 6O,OOO,OOO i'm posed specially with the guarantee given by the German authorities in December, 1914, that indemnity for requisitloned merchandise, or merchandise which would still be reQuisitioned enbloc, would be paid as soon as possible in currency, in commercial bills of exchange or in credits Cn German banks. It there fore remains to our provinces, ia order 10 free our country complete ly from the heavy burden imposed upon her after four months of in vasion and devastation, to make monthly payments for September October and November, 19l5-that is, another 12O,0OO,O0O of which 15,OOO,OOO are on account of the special imposition in exchange for the guarantee of prompt payment for rsquisitioned goods"
 NJ Castelein, after pointing out how scrupulously Belgium has met her engagements relating to the war contributions, sevcrIy arraigns ths German administration for the lax manner in which they have paid for requisitioned goods. In a report submitted on March 19 last it was shown that the value of re-

 Business in Shanghai is at n low ebb, the war and the withdrawal of American ships being re- sponsiDle. There is a strong de- nand for American goods, but no chance to get the goods into the (, wtry.
 A greet deal has been said about the Chinese revolution, but the true facts have been greatly eXag- gerated. The revolution doesn't amount to much, for the simple req son tha the reyOlutionists have neither arms nor ammunition, nor any prospects Of eyer getting any.
