Mineral or Ygricuitural Land A
1. in, a, c u:m mt for land returned ;e
agricultural must show, a> a present
fact, that mineral can be obtained
therefrom in such quantities .a> to
make the land more valuable for min
ing than agriculture,
Mining < laim and Town Lots -The
value of land for town lots will not pre
clude its disposition under the mining
laws if such land is in fact of the char
acter subject to entry under >aid laws.
Submerged land -There is no law
authorizing the entry of submerged
land lay ing within a navagable stream.
Homestead—Thequalitications requi
site to make homestead entry must ex
ist at date of eutry, and any rights ac
quired by filng an application are lost
where the applicant subsequently
and prior to entry becomes disquali
fied to enter.
Mineral or non-mineral- -The pre
sumption as to the mineral or agri
cultural character of a tract, created
by the return of the surveyor-general
does not preclude the assertion of any
right, or the proof of the facts in tlie l
case as they really exist.
Hypothetical questions will not be
considered by the land department.
Residence—Residence is establish-j
ed from the moment a settler goes uj>
on the land with the definite inten
tion of making his home there.

Cook W iil Climb Another Pole
Dr. i-'n-drick A. Cook, conqueror? of,
Ml. McKinley, in Alaska, i> the man
With the hunch. IK has hit on a new
route to the pole. Explorers of t lu*
st have taken routes either just west
or i ti"t east of (ireenland. When you
trudge along the map much west of
tIreenland you strike a country tin-1
marked and uncharted. Nansen's
"trait is the frontier or jumping off!
point of this unknown Polar region.
I)r. Cook's hunch is to march up the
edge of this country, keep north by
Nansen’s strait, and then strike out
into tin* polar sea for the north pole.
Dr. Cook is now in the far north
preparing for his dash in the spring,
if.* will winter around Buchanen's hay
about 30 miles north of where Peary
had his cold weather headquarters on
his last trip.
Dr. Cook's plan is to push through
Ellesmere land at the earliest moment
in the Spring. As lie travels north he
will shoot game, which is plentiful up
as far as the 82nd degree of latitude, and
keep men and dogs supplied with fresh
meat. The expedition is provisioned
for two years, and is fully equipped
with sledges and dogs.
Less than one-fourth of the area of
the territory of Alaska lias been map
lied and less than one-sixth has been
surveyed geologically. It is worthy of
note that although nearly half a mil
lion dollars has been spent on Alaska
surveys and investigations, this is loss
than one-half of one per cent of the
gold output during the period covered
by the surveys.- Mines and Minerals.
Patient—When you’re ill ,doctor, do
you treat yourself? “No, I call in one
of ray colleagues.” “Then can't I call
in one of them—the one that cured
you?”—Kruger.
FRENCH TROOPS
DEFEAT ARABS
After Driving Enemy Many Miles
and at Point of Victory Moors
Suffer Severe Reverse.
By Cnble to The Daily Gateway.
Paris, Nov. 30 Advices just receiv-j
ed from the French army in Morocco j
state that the Arabs had driven the j
French army for many miles and it :
looked as if they would gain a great
victory, but the French rallied and
repulsed them with great slaughter.
No Comments Needed
“The dogsmith will soon he busy in
Alaska,” said a miner of tin* Yukon,
“lie’ll have his work cutout for him,
too. This winter promises to be very j
severe. The dogsmit h,” the miner j
went on. “shoe*. of.eourse, dogs, or
he wouldn’t have sue'n a name. The
sledge dogs of Alaska have, day by
day, to run over miles of rough ice
that is as hard on their feet as broken
glass, and lienee were they not shod
i he\ would soon grow so incurably
lame that they would have to he kill
