Important Decision ‘as to the Cape Nome Tide Lands. A very important question has. just been decided by Commissioner Herrmann of the General Land Office, governing placer mining on the beach of the Bering sea, off the coast of Alaska, at and near Cape Nome, the new gold figid. The decision affects mining/and locations embracing tide lands below the line of ordinary high tide. Numerous applications are pending before the Interior Department as to locations upon such lands, which have been ‘demonstrated to contain gold in marvelous quantities. Individuals or associations of persons.and incorporated mining companies are seeking concessions from the Government by which they may acquire exclusive mining rights and privileges pertaining to such tide lands. The commissioner decides that tide lands in the district of Alaska are not public lands, subject to disposal to individuals, under any of the existing land laws of the United States, and that the department has no statutory authority to make concessions to individuals of any mining rights pertaining to such tide lands, A citation is made by the Commissioner to the case of Shivelly versus Boalby, decided by the United States Sapreme Court, in which it was held that the United States upon acquiring aterritory, whether by cession from one of the States or by treaty with »e foreign country, or by discovery and settlement, takes the title and the dominion of lands below high water mark of tide waters for the benefit of the whole people-and in trust for the fature States to be created out of the territory, and it was further held that Congress has not undertaken by general laws to dispose of lands below high water mark of tide waters in a territory, but, unless in case of some international duty or public exigency, has left the administration and disposition of the sovereign rights in such waters and lands to the control of the States respectively, which are admitted into the Union. a sell A LESSON IN TACT. An Instanee of Gentle Consideration That Comes from the Slums. 14, Almost every large American city has its ghetto, or Jewish quarter, that swarms with peddlers, old clothes dealers and sweat shops. Mercy is not to be expected here, and tact is supopsed to be unknown among such people, except among traders in selling their goods. The following incident happened in the Jewish quarter in Boston last winter, and is worth telling, because it commends human nature, especially the human nature found in the slums: A child was born in a short street where nearly all the signs upon the stores are printed in Hebrew characters. The parents were very poor and very proud. In the neighborhood was a Christian mission, and although Jewish children attended singing and sewing classes within its doors, some of their parents preferred to starve rather than accept its charity, and the family in which this child was born was one of that class. The father and mother pecsistently refused all aid, although there was no coal in the house and no money for food. Then for some reason, probably pride, they refused help from people of their own religion. All the dwellers in the neighborhood were exceedingly poor, and could ill afford to give charity; but here was a starving family and a dying babe, united with stubborn pride, and something had to be done. So a purse was made up by these poor people out of their petty earnings and divided into three parts. Each little sum wasintrusted to different Jewish tradesmen. That same day, one of their small tradesmen climbed up to the povertystricken tenement, and represented himself as a coal agent. “Can I sell you some coal this morning?” he asked, opening the door. _-.~Zhe man ‘shook his head apathetically* : “But,” replied the improvised agent, “I gif you drust. One mont~—tree mont —all you want. I drist you.” “Ah!” answered the man with surprise. “Why do you trust me?” “You haf a good name,” said the agent. “I must introdooce mine peesness.” Soon a load of coal was on its way to the house to warm the mother and her infant.The coal dealer had hardly left before a man from a butcher’s shop near by came and repeated the drama of charity. Then, not long after, followed a ‘new milkman, profuse with offers of “drust,” who promised a quart of milk a day until the baby could get better. Thus was the family saved from freezing and starvation. Now, this happened in what is known as the slums. This delicate way of meeting a crisis was not the act of a refined and aristocratic philanthropist. As the narrator told the writer: “It was the act of dirty Russian Jew peddlers.” One can almost pardon the dirt when such gentle consideration if shown.—Youth’s Companion.

At one time it was claimed by Wm.

' About sixteen years ago there were two contests in the U. S. Land Office in Marysville, during which much of the early history of the mine was made public, Later Wm. Singer Jr. and others set.up claim to the mime and a trial was had in the Superior Court’ of Butte county. This and other litigation resulted in transferring the property to. N. L. Rideout, who later transferred an interest to J. B. Haggin. Sig years ago Major McLaugblin took a lease of the mine and formed a syndicate tosell it in Europe.
