From tU« E. A M. JonmaL .
Where, in a suit to determine . 'adverse-claims to a mining location ~ “defendant’s location rested on an ' alleg^^ lode location prior to plain­tiff’s, the burden is on the defend­ant to establish the fact of actual
• : discovery urior to the initiation of; ; the plaintiff’s location.—Supreme • Court of South'Dakota.
Under the laws of t^^^ United States (Revised Statutes,' Section 2324) providing that on failure of a corowner of a mining claim, to
contribute his share, of expenditures required by the-statute; those who
have made the improvement may at the end of the year give the de­
linquent personal notire in writing by publication, for at least once a
week for. 9Q days, and if after 90 days he fai|s to contribute his in­terest in the claims shall become the property of such co-owhers. A notice published every day . except

sufficient.—Supreme Court of South Dakota.
Allegations .in a bill for the can­cellation of a patent for' mineral lands that the several claims em­
braced therein v^re falsely and
fraudulently reprinted to the
land department to be quartz claims
when they aie in fact placer clainM, afford no ground for the cancelta-. of the patent, whdro the fact that they were placer claims would not have precluded the ownW from obtaining a single pateftt for same,
and it is not shown that the gov­ernment was in any way injured
by the false repre^ntatioh,
A patent for mineral lands, which have been in existrace for^B years, and which prdtects rights which
have been continuously exercised by the patentee end his pr^eces- sors in interest for’nearly 60 y«*re,
will hot be declared void as to any portion of the premises granted solely for the reason that upon its
face it purports to bo based on a
single mining location, and conveys more than may jawfully be includ­
ed in one location, when in fact the
claims were ^ve'iWl wd might have been united in a single patent upon
a proper presentation of thh' facts^
Where there might have been cir­cumstances which, undeV the then existing laws, would, have author-
fib^' the land deparftneht to faclude
a patent for mining ground all tbe, ground therein describi^, it will be'
presumed in supp6rt .of the patent,
when collaterally attack^, that
stich circumstances existed. A suit to set aside a patent for mineral lands on the ground of fraud, pr.acr
ticed on the land department can noil)e maintaihed by^ a private
individual, who at the time had no'
claim u^n any of the lands* but
m^de a location on same subse­
quently, such ground having hero available only to the Government. —United States Circut Court of
Appeals. . /£1-

At a recent meeting of the Alder
Creek Gold Mining Company’s stockholders, at Moscow, the follow­ing officers were elected: Presi­dent, D. T. Deiiton, of Duluth,
Minnesota; vice president,. Newton
F. Hibbs, of Lewiston; secretary, J. H. Grannis, Duluth, Minnesota; treasurer, J. H. Vivian, of Duluth,
Minnesota. The company own 640 acres of rich placer groqnd at the
junction of Reed and Aldw creeks.
They have kept a large"force of men
at of men at work, all winter, dig- ing ditch and cutting trails. Last week they toob their hydraulic plant in by the way of Orofino and expect to start the gravel to flying' by April 1. 'The Alder Creek property is only one of the numexous^ large placer deposits which cover the benches lying back from the Nroth Pork of
the-Clearwater, and which extend for miles, up and down the river and on both sides. These dept^ts
pay- from the: surface dowii, and are fully 100 feet deep. ;
Hotofa And that the farniahlng of aouTenim to their patrons is a rery laiw* item of expense, and in case of the larger honses sometimes runs
into thousands of dollars a year. These soufenirs eonsist priheipally, ^
of ailrer forks, spoons, saltcellars and sneh articles of teble fiunUure as ate readUy carried away Vthont

The proprietors do not intend to furnish these things to enable their^, pmrotns to reeatt ldeasant rnemerlM^
of faospitaUty; bat they do fornish them. Just, the same.The large .hofb^ lirf tIm iiietropdHa are great sufferersw and are continti- ^ly buyii^ expeasire tableware to keep up the supply of sourenirs.• These things'are not ali^ays taken

the*sama,story has come from other cities of 'great fairs. Two ' pupils were telling their teacher of pres­

"Papa , brought me a nice silver fcup," said one. "My name was on it, and it said: ‘For a good bby.'"“My mamma brought me. a bllTer spbon," said the other boy, "amd on. It it said: Iroquois Hotel."*

■eots aadSome years ago I was talking with one of our leading manafacturers. and himself a very acute mao. He told me that long experlenee had shown him that the sale of booto is a sure barometer of the prosperity
of the country; so far as the working
classes were eoneerned, says London Truth. If things are going Well, peo­ple buy new boots when their old
ones have worn out, if the reversci they do not, but make shift without new purchases. And he instanced Ireland, where he had a large trade
output, as instance of this. When, therefore, I hear that the boot busi­ness ki not flourishing, I know what that mt^u. Although it cannot be nid to he absolutely bad, yet there is already % shrinkage in sales at home,
owing to tiie effect of the war.on the jtMources pf the wage-earning obus.
