be founded upon nothing more than holding and prospecting, for that would subject non-mineral land to ac- quisition as a mining claim"
 The court adds that in the pending cases there was no discovery, so the working relied upon could not have been of the character contemplated by Congress.
 '' The court concludes that the defend ant was not entitled to any instruc- tion of the jury, whereby he could re- ceive Ehe benefit of Section 2332 in the absence of a discovery, and there fore that the District Court rightly re. fused to give the one in question. The Circuit Court of Appeals held that the instruction should have been given and in this the Supreme Court thinks it erred. The court therefore reversed the. judgments of the Circuit Court Of Appeals and affirmed the judg. ments of the District Court.

The court says this is a remedial pro vision designed to make proof of hold ing and working for the prescribed period, the equal equivalent of proof of acts of location, recording and transfer, and thereby to relieve again st possible loss or destruction of the usual means of establishing such acts. But this act and the rulings of the De- partment of the Interior and decisions of the court hereunder give no war rant for thinking that it disturbs or qualified important provisions of the mineral land laws such as deal with the character of the land that may be taken, the discovery upon which { a claim must be founded, the era that may be included in a single claim, the citizenship of claimants, the amount that must be expended in labor or improvements, to entitle the claim ant to patent and the purchase price to be paid before the patent can be issued, as the rulings of the depart

Frank Tinney Rejoices That
Burnt Cork Is Passing Out
OF His Role as a Comedian

$50 many questions have been asked
about why | practically gave up black
face" said Frank Tinney yesterday,
that | feel compelled to make public
my reasons for the change" In his
dressing room at the Seiwyn Theater,
where he stars in Tickle Me-" the
comedian said:
1T was only by chance that / ever
happened to do blackface at the be-
ginning of my career. l was thrust
into a minstrel show, and as we all mad
was compelled to anoint my face with
burnt cork. Gradually gained 6
chance to do a couple of specialties
and these proved to be such success
that in spite of all absence of dialect
| gained reputation as a blackface
comedian.
NATURALLY, when went into vaude-

it. Vaudeville audiences, in the first

So if | had changed my number from
black TO white face during my variety
engagements | would have lost my
following. All this time, however,
had been longing for a sustained com
my dusky face covering. Yet, though
did gain the comedy roles, it was not
until Tickle Me- that | really had the
opportunity in New York to expose
my real skin to the footlights.
"My principal purpose in waiting to
be white-man comedian is purely
selfish; but the truth is want to pre-
serve my own identity as an individual,
and the longer do blackfaee the less
chance l have to show the world the
real Frank 1'inney. You see, self
preservation is the first law of nature,
and I'm trying desperately to save my
self from being blotted out by burnt

which he has appeared, But of late
years he has virtually dropped all
vnblancc Of character, and in the
"Hitchy Koo' series, OF which the
present production s the fourth, he
is content to be just "Hitchy."
Hitchcock's first appearance with the
Caclton Opera Company in philadel-

in The Golden Wedding" in the same
city the next season. His first appear
ance in New York was in May, 1894, in

Hitchcock appeared as Bulwer Brady,
the Englishman, with cold in his
kead. Hitchcock played the character
straight Although he did not earn
cent from the piece, Hitchcock main
tans that "Charcy's Aunt" was the
turning point in his career, and marked
his arrival as an actor. Since that en-
