ALAMEDA Us. SUCCESS
STATEMENT BY ALAMEDA
If REHEARiNG is DENIED CASE
WILL BE CARRIED TO sU-
PREME COURT.

The status of the Alameda Success
litigation is told in the following cir
cular letter recently issued by the di-
rectors of the Alameda company:
"As you have been heretofore adj
vised. this company obtained a judg-
ment against Success Mining COM
pany for trespass by the latter upon
the property Of Alameda The ques-
tion of damages for the wrongful ex-
traction of ore was tried by referee
appointed by the court, and we were
awarded the sum of $56,07O, together
with interest amounting to $13,41O
making a total of $69,4SO This award
was made on November II, 1916, and
only few days later the judgment of
the district court was reversed by the
Idaho supreme court.
Naturally, your directors were
greatly surprised at this result, par
ticularly since counsel advises that su-
preme court reversed itself in an an
alagous case and that its present
opinion Is also at variance with the
opinion of the supreme court of the
United States. Your directors have
instructed counsel to petition for a re-
hearing of this case. If the petition is
granted, it is hoped that the judg-
ment of the lower court will be sus-
tanned. If 1t be not sustained, or If
the petition for rehearing Is denied, it
is intended to appeal to the supreme
court of the United States, in which
it is confidently believed a final judg-
ment will be obtained in favor of this
company.
"Our attorney, John P Gray, who
has had large experience in mining
litigation, and who successfully fought
the Ontario Stewart case, which is an
alagous to our case, is confident that
the rights of Alameda will prevail
I'VE especially regret delays Incl
dent to these legal proceedings at this
time when metal prices are so high,
and when we should most advantage
ously be producing and marketing our
ore, but it Is the intention of your di-
rectors to continue the development
of the property as planned, and to get
everything in readiness for operations
against the time the final decision is
obtained.
Counsel for the company has al
ready filed a petition for a rehearing
and If 1t is granted and the decision
of the lower court sustained, we an
ticipate being able to proceed with our
original plans without undue delay.
1T had been expected that the pro-
ceeds of the judgment against Sue
cess would furnish the funds neces-
sary to carry on the work at the mine,
but as that money Is not now avail
able other means must be used to
raise the funds required. It becomes
necessary to levy few assessments
to carry out the plans formulated,
which we are convinced are for the
best interests of your company and its
shareholders. This necessity is re-
GREETED by your directors, but 1t is
hoped that all stockholders will re-
spond promptly to the assessment
calls. We have very valuable pro-
perty, irrespective Of particular ore
shoots in dispute, comprising seven
mineral lode claims, in the heart OF
the mineral bearing zone, and 1t is
highly important that development
work be prosecuted and our rights
protected"

ENGLISH HARD FOR SINGERS
Chief Difficulty is That Language, IN
like German and Italian, is Not
One of Broad-Vowel Sounds

When an audience can't tell whether
n song is being sung in English or
ChOctaw, it is time something was
done about it, and something is going
to be done, it appears, by a group of
well-known singing teachers and per-
formers known as the Society of Eng
fish Singers to Standardize the Teach
ing of Singing in English.
Francis Toye, who tackles the prob
lem in the London Nation, points out
the source of the real difficulty. and
tells why songs sung in English are
often unintelligible:
"That there are difficulties in sing
ing certain English s~yllables on certain
notes may be admitted says Mr..
Toye. 'English. unlike German and
Italian. is not predOminantly a Ian
guage of broad-vowel sounds. 1t is
comparatively awkward, for instance,
to sing fix or her or sun with n
loud. sustained tone on a high note.
But if composers knew their business
they would not. save in very eXcep-
tional circumstances. ask the singer to
do anything Of the kind.
Half the imaginary difficulties of
singing English arise from the incom-
p~etence of many composers in setting
it to music. They seem neither to
think in terms of singing nor to study
the natural rhythm of the language"

RECALLS POPULAR TRAVESTY
Charge Against Former Minister of
Finance Revives Memories of "The
Miseries of a Chinese Official"

These who recall Francisque Sarcey's
popular ~travesty upon Chinese corrup-
ton, 1.-THE Miseries of a Chinese Off
cial," will enjoy reading the proceed
ings in the trial for bribery of Chen
Chin-tao, former minister of finance,
and two of his subOrdinates. The
investigators appointed by President
Ii Yuan-hung do not appear to be able
to discover whether the late minister
of finance was bribed, whether he
kept money that certain merchants
allege they paid to certain persons for
him or whether it went higher up"
The complainant merchants insist that
money passed, but Chen Chin-tao de-
MES having received any.
In Sarcey's satire graft" was de-
clared to be so universal that Fo Hi,
the would-be-conscientious official,
found himself in very hot water when
he undertook to check it. The climax
is reached when q contract for battle
ships is given to a porcelain factory !
The Chinese navy has an engagement
with an enemy (assumably the Japa-
nese, at the time the book was pub
lished). and the first shot from the
attacking cruiser shivers the Chinese
craft to bits. The collapse Of the
formidable-appearing warship resem-
bled nothing so much as a waiter
dropping a tray full of dishes.

Collie Drives Motorcar.

Gear-shifting, of course, is outside
the limits of possibility for him, but
except for this operation, a big col
lie, owned by a Poughkeepsie IN. "
automobile dealer, is able to drive a
motorcar. Everybody along "auto
row" in New York city was completely
d~umfounded not long ago when the dog
acted as chauffeur for his master, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. While
weaving in and out through Broad
ways traffic, however, the owner had
an auxiliary control at hand to help
the animal out in tight places and
avoid the danger of a mishap. But on
ordinary occasions, when cOngested
streets do not have to be negotiated,
the collie drives along like a man, turn
ing corners and avoiding other vehicles
with surprising facility. On such rides
his master sits beside him, OF in the
tonneau behind. On a track, where the
chance Of accident is eliminated, the
dog drives alone with nobody in the
car to help him. Nc special device is
fixed to the steering wheel to assist
him.
