It all depends on Con ditions, such as railroad facilities and . --the like. The courts have, always held in accordance with the decision that has ' Just been affirmed. "One textbook on. the subject Is as follows: 'In determining what consti tutes a valid discovery as will satisfy '" the court and form the basis of a valid ; mining claim, the tendency of the courts Is toward liberality of construction ' when a question arises between two miners who have located claims upon the same lode and towards strict rules of Interpretation when the miner as ' serts bla rights - In property which 7 , either belongs to some one else or is , claimed under the laws other than those providing -for-ths disposition of min- era! lands In which the relative value of ' the tract ts a matter in issue.

Van' couver, Victoria and Nelson will strtvs for honors with ths local oarsmen, rep resenting the Portland Rowing - dub. There Is no doubt but that Portland la well represented -on the wajer this year, better. In fact, than aha has been - for soma time, and . local sports say thst they are willing and-reedy to back the home crews to a "fare thee well." , Of the visitors not much can be said. Previous sxperlenoe haa taught Portland that Vancouver and Vlotorla are always to be respected In every event. Victoria aiwaya puts out an especially strong senior crew and her showing at the coming meet will be no .exception to former years. Her crew this year, with tha exception of Dillabougb, ' No. I, la tha -same that - represented Iter at the regatta last -year when she carried off the honors. Dillabougb la an old band at the work and his accession no doubt strengthens the crew considerably.' Vancouver will row one crew 'In both the senior and junior four-oared events. This is a rather unusual stunt and ona not often attempted by a rowing club. but tbelr junior crew proved to be so far superior to the seniors that It -was de cided to let tha babies compete in both racea. Nelson Is ths dark horse. Very little is known about her, one was- or the. other. She is not entered In all of the events scheduled but will probably give a good account of herself In- the races which she does go Into. - One of the best races that will ooaae off and the ona about which most of the Interest is centering will be ' ths senior singles.- Debrlsay of Victoria la entered In .this event, while tha Port land Rowing club offers its three fast- art men, Patton, Oloss and Lamberson. At Vancouver last year Debrlsay beat Oloss, but at the Astoria regatta Olosa regained bla lost laurels by a small mar gin. Afterwards Debrlsay claimed that Oloss, knowing ths course bettsr, had a considerable advantage over him and that if they ever met again he - would repeat the dose that ha administered to Portland's hones at Vancouver. Thla hs will attempt to do on the lid. Olosa' previous performances enable the wise Ones to get- a line on what ha la able to and ' will accomplish, ' but where Lamberson and Patton will on me out la problematical. They are both ex cellent oarsmen and are rowing In-good rorm. ratton is better boated thla year than ha haa ever been before. Portland'' junior slns-les will tinM Burkhardt McCabe and 8 mid. No- other crews will be represented. Smld Is a new msn In this country.- He halls from Zurich, Switzerland, and Is an old oara man. His late work hss been watched with a good deal of interest, and he la generally conceded to be a comer. John Burkhardt, In the opinion of club mem bers, would surely win In a contest for upset singles. Burkhardt has a record of three spills in one afternoon. The -club is Dlnnlnar its faith on Rnh Lamberson and Dug Ball to win in tho senior doubles. They are ths best bal anced crew representing the local oars men, and their lone, sweenlne-. nnvir. ful stroke should pull a decisive victory out of this event ' , ' Luders and King won tha Junior don. bla event with ease at tha tryoute. They are In fine -condition from their work in the senior four. Percy. Stowell, who ha been coach- ng the senior four, ears that their work oomes up to all requirements. - Hs has been working them bard for over two month and has rounded them into per- rect trim. . xnis crew, with the excep tion of Dug.

Bob Lamberson for any chancs that they irfay have. Lamberson has put a good deal of time la on these young ones and their present condition speaks well for his efforts. He haa worked them Into using a rather short stroke with lots of snap to it Lately' they have been taking it a little easier for . fear of going stale.- The othar junior four consists' of Preston Smith, bow: Ambrose, 2; Zimmerman, I; Nor cross, stroke. ' They are a heavier crew than has represented the club in any event for several years. They are pull-1 ing a long, alow but powerful stroke that will surely make somebody paddle hard. ' The course this wear will be a straightaway of 1 miles. The start will be made from the old Multnomah Trunk factory, about half way up the west side of Ross island, and will finish at the Madison-street bridge. This Is the best course ever laid out In this city, and will give the spectators an un obstructed view of tha last mil of each race.
