WHO MAY LOCATE
 MINING CLAIMS

We are indebted to Henry Ro' den, of Juneau, for a copy of bis new book Alaska Mining Law, Territorial and Federal"
 This work is of immense value to the proSpector and small op- orator, as it gives a concise ex- planation of the laws, couched in such simple language that any one who reads can understand.
 The following is an extract which definitely states who can acquire mining ground and patent same
 The mining laws of the United States provide that all persons who are citizens of the United States or who have declared their intention to become citi zens (have taken out their first papers) may enter upon the un- appropriated public lands of the United States and may explore occupy and purchase them. By purchase is meant the acquisit- ion of tie through patent from the government
 It follows, therefor, that all male and female persons of what ever age, who are citizens, or| have taken out their first papers] are entitled to enjoy the bene- fits of the mining laws.
 Likewise partnership, com posed of persons who as indi-| viduals are qualified to takeI up mining claims, may ma kel locations in the name and forI the benefit of such partnership.l and the same provisions apply] to associations of persons, eachI of whom is qualified. and to cor-I porationo organized under theI

laws of the United States or of some state or territory.
 It is clear then that a person. not a citizen or who has not del clared his intention to become] a citizen, cannot acquire mining claims by location.
 It has been decided by the Su, preme Court of the United) States that, while it is true) that only citizens and those who, have declared their intention to- become citizens are entitled to the benefits of the mining laws, nevertheless, if an alien who has not secured his first papers as a matter of fact does go upon the unappropriated public do. main of the United States and there pretendS to make a loca- tlon by complying with all the requirements of the mining law (except that he is not qual- flied locator) such location is good against all the world ex-
 cept the United States. and he. cannot be e. ejected therefrom ex- cept upon a proceeding instituted for that purpose by the Aoveln- ment, and such proceeding, so far as we are informed, has nev- er been commenced by the gov ernment against any person dis qualified to locate mining claims.
 But such locator can, under no circumstances, acquire pat. ant to his land, for in all pat ent applications the mining claim mt must prove that he is a citl- zen or has declared his inten. 5ion to become one. It is highly advisable, however, that an alien who has made mining location should embrace the first oppor unity to take out his first papers

Torrens Act Not Election
Issue, Miss Boswell Says
Replies to Hopper, Who Denies

date for Register, running against
Miss Helen Varick Boswell, Republi-

said "No woman Is CAPABLE Of run

He contended, however. that Miss
Boswell's statement that the County
Registers office simply receives deeds
and records them" was an error; and
insisted that the Torrens law be made
an issue in the campaign.
Miss Boswell said last night at her
headquarters in the Murray Hill Hotel
that the Torrens act was In no way an
issue.

use of it this year, and you cannot
force people to use it. The only way
is gradual process of education"
Miss Boswell addressed three meet
ings in the afternoon, and in the eve
ming spoke at the 10th, 7th and 21st

home of Mrs. Alice M. Kelly, where a

Parents of Babies.
Rescued at Islip
Nursery, Sought
Children's Society Agent
Says Mrs. kalwite Kept In
fantsin Rags in Dirty Shack
and All Were Hungry

Agents of the Society for the Ple-
vention of Cruelty to Children began a
search yesterday for the parents of the
ten surviving children OF the eleven
who were taken Thursday from nurs-
cry conducted by Mrs. Grace Kalwite in
Islp, L. l.
One of the children, Ruth Schaefer.
four months old, whose parents live at
1853 Union Avenue, the Bronx, is near
death from malnutption. The authori-
nursery where the parents Of four of
the children lived.
Mrs. Kalwite left Islip yesterday with
her seven children, and is believed to
have come to New York. No charge has
been made against her in connection
with the transfer of the children from
her home, although her permit to boaro
children has been revoked.
Preston Is. Chapman supervisor Of
the Nassau County branch of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, said that the ten children now
in the custody of The society would be
turned over to their parents if the
latter could be found and were able to
care for them properly.
Mrs. Kaawite charged SIS a week for
each child she took to board, he said.
She and her HUSBAND ana their seven
children lived comfortably in we'll
built house, Mr.. Chapman said, while
the babies left in her care were lodged
in dilapidated shanty across the
street, which was in filthy condition.
The babies were under-nourished and
in rags, he said.
Mrs. Kalwite's husband, the only
member of the family remaining in
lslip, said that he thought the town
authorities ought not to have meddled
with his wife's affairs at all. The care
of the children he said, was no affair
OF outsiders. If their parents were
satisfied he saw no reason why any
body should interfere.
Three of the children were strong
enough to be sent to the rooms of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children in Brooklyn. They are
Laura, Helen and Thomas Crowley, five,
three and two years old, respectively.
Five others are in the Kings County
Hospital. They are Sophie Darling,
months old; Harold Maschek, one year
old; Carol Mcmahon six weeks old,
and "Juju" Cicero Sylvester, one and a
half years old.
Ruth Schaefer and Creedie Doe, one
and one-half years old, are at St.
Christopher's> Hospital.
