LAY IN OLD BOOK

A scrap of paper that for five gen.
erations has reposed between the COW
ers of a faded copy of Spencer's Fac
RE Queene' may mean wealth and
luxury to Alfred Watkins Seymour,
keeper of a small restaurant in Sc
attic, Wash.
The paper is a certificate of sixty
even shares of stock in the Mecaan-
les bank, left by Thomas Williams,
who died in New York in 1922. Its
actual value, together with accrued
interest, was declared to amount to
half a million dollars. The certificate
had dropped out Of sight, but was
discovered by a g~enealogist who was
going through a library in the house
hold of a family in Troy, N. Y, where
Seymour had had a sister and an
aunt. Seymour has established, it
was asserted, that Williams was his
great-grandfather and that he is now
the sole heir to his property. His
claim has been s~ubstantiated in sew
eral courts, but a legal battle is still
in progress. The bank, now known
by virtue of various mergers as the
Mechanics and Metals National bank,
maintains that 1t has no record of
the issue Of stock and pleaded the
statute Of limitations. Supreme Court
Justice Wagner recently ruled against
this plea, but attorneys for the bank
declared they would carry the case
to higher courts.

SEARCH FOR MISSING
MAN IS GIVEN lf

Elko Free Press: The search for
Herbert White, who has been missing
since July 4th, has practically been
given up. A call had been made for
zoe men to aid in a thorough search
of the ground yesterday when word
was sem in from Lee hat the search
had been given up because of a re-
port WHICH had been made to rela-
tives of the missing man by one of
s on, who has for some time been
employed o n the Merkeley & Young
ranch and was a very close friend of
Herbert's is reported as having made
the statement that the search was
useless IS he knew that the body was
not In the creek and intimated that
White had left the country.
Many have put further questions to
Mr.. Ch~ristianson, but to all inquiries
he returns evasive W and makes
contradictory statements. Just what
he knows, If anything, about the dis
appearance of White he will not tell.
Those who know both men however,
seem to be Of the impression that
White has left the country and the
search has been given up so far as
looking for the body of the missing
man In the water. The father and
brother and aunt of the missing man
who arrived last week to aid in the
search have all departed for their
homes and Mrs. Matte White, wife of
the missing man; is at the home of her
cousin, Mrs. DR.. Mentz, in Elko.

TROUBLE BREEDING LAW

Nevada Mining Press: Careless in
depreciation Of the law passed by
Congress extending the time for the
performance of assessment work for
1920 ito and including the first day
of July. 1921" probably will result
in a great deal of litigation over
| claims which were assumed 10 lapse
at midnight, June 80, and 1t is not
unlikely that fists, pick handles and
possibly the ready ''six-gun" may be
| called into play to settle disputes by
those hardy sons of the desert who
do not fancy legal entanglements.
When the measure was first proposed
1t was for the purpose of changing
the time for the performance of an
nual work so hat the year would end
at midnight on June 80, instead Of
December 81. Objection was made
that the time was too short to under
take passage Of a as which
would change the mining laws, and
the way was paved for the change by
extending time for the performance
of the work for 1920. The average
prospector assumed that the extern
sion was for six months and few of
them read the bill carefully. Assum-
ing that mining claims on which the
vu~~E kAI .4f honn AA.a ~. o4n
menced on or before midnight of
June 80 had elapsed, they proceeded
to locate such ground as they fancied.
Some of them discovered their mis-
take and made new locations, dating
them July 2.
The text Of the law is very clear. 1t
reads as follows:
BE 1t enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives Of the Unit
ed States in Congress assembled, that
the period in which work may be per-
formed OF improvements made for
the year, 1920, upon mining claims,
as required under Section 1924 of
the Revised Statutes of the United
States, is hereby extended to and in
GLIDING the first day of July. 1921;
so that work done or improvements
made upon any mining claim in the
United States or Alaska on or before
July l, 1921, shall have the same eff
feet as II the same had been per-
formed within the calendar year of
1920; provided, that this act shall
not in any way change or modify the
requirements of existing laws as to
work to be done or improvements
made upon mining claims for theyear

PSYCHOLOGY OF BUSINESS
Charles Il. Mitchell, of Topeka, in
Demand by Kansas Commercial
and Civic Bodies.

1t is an easy matter to attract
crowds with music, dancing, oratory
and politics but to establish reputa-
ton for discussions of purely business
principles, talks on civic improvements
and conferences on mercantile adjust
ments is a new line of achievement
accomplished by Charles L. Mitchell of
Topeka, secretary and sales manager
of Crane & Company.
Mitchell, as an active head of scores
of civic and commercial bodies in To-
peka in the last ten years, has &C
quired an insight into the affairs of
the everyday business man that has
equipped him with an unusual ability
to entertain and enlighten business
men of his state and city.
He has been in demand In several
Kansas cities recently as an accelera-
tor to commercial plans.
Here is what Charles r. Scott said
in the lola Register following Mitch
ellis recent visit to that city as a
guest of the Current Topics club:
To speak to room full of men with a
manner rs simple and unaffected and di-
rect as IL we were telling story to child.
to narrate events in which he was a chief
somebody else to picture a political eco
noInic and social condition in such way
as to arouse the keenest interest Of all who
heard him and to cause men to revise and
in many cases to reverse their opinion OF
a whole race and country-all that is a
NEST unusual achievement, and yet 1t is
what Colonel Charles L. Mitchell, Of To;
peka. did when he spoke here Colonel
Mitchell spoke for an hour and a half ana
from his first to last there was not a dull
moment. and even after he finished a NUM-
Der of those who had heard him came for
ward TO ask for further details In respect
TO some matters he had touched but light
~. The Register regrets 1t cannot give
Colonel Mitchell's speech in full for moth
ing less than that would convey a salts
factory idea of the completeness ana
episode was reported. 1t was an address
the Current Topic club will remember for
n long time and 1t illustrated again the
great advantage to lola in possession OF
such an organization.
Following a talk before the Herring
ton Chamber of Commerce the Her
| ington Times said:
| Charles l.. Mitchell held the close atten-
| ton OF the entire audience for an hour
and ten minutes while he told them of
wholesome facts, practical suggestions for
town and community building and in all
weaved a bit of sentiment. n deep rever-
ence for religion and the things the church
stands for.
It wasn't an oratorical fight; yet ii
held the tense interest of all. 1t wasn't a
sermon. yet every man there felt deep
and higher reverence for sacred things. II

and community, yet every man who heard
! 1t felt there were things he could do for
this good old town and things he would
do. too. 1t wasn't lecture on good fei-
lowship yet no one heard It but felt
ashamed that he hadn't shown more of il
and resolved to do better particularly with
| regard to his relations with his business
associates.
1t was the most helpful and inspiring
