RErRIBUT1oN-Thisn name has been adopt
ed BY company who have relocated the
ground heretofore known as the Paris claim.
The local Of the Enterprise in giving an ac-
count of the location says that the Paris
Company have never done any work ON the
ground, though the location Is good and the
chances are that when tine lead Is properly
opened i valuable mine will be Developed
Believing the lead to be one OF great PROMISE
part of the old stockholders, in the Paris To-
cation, in connection with others, nave lorIh-
ed new company and relocated the claim
under the name OF the Retribution. re are
told that person who was locator III the
old Paris claim, or who bv some means got
hold of the title to 4 considerable nuinOer OF

presume the Paris cuisines" will be quoted
below as another instance OF the danger OF
dealing in WaShoe mines. Those who have
purchased Paris stock at so and so per
foot have only their own stupidity blame; 10
they could be induced to buy WaShoe pig
in poke" they would probably invest IN
California pig under circumstances winch
rendered it equally uncertain whether the pig
was dead or alive, or whether instead Oh
MO the poke" might not conceal (wlld)
cat. Look before YOU leap. Believing the
princ;ple involved IN the above operation 10
be correct, or, in other wordS-that parties
should not be permitted to hold good ground
in This Territory without working and devel-

oi,!ys but for that Of the community at large,
W. deem II proper TO point out an error SEEM
in rIv committed in the above RELOCATION, IN
oriIrr that others NAV avoid il. 1t has been
al, understood fact Tor long time, and but
q few weeks since the Supreme Court OF CALI
f.rnia rendered decision to the effect, VIZ:
that where two or more persons nave located
, mine they become co-partnerS TO that eN-
r,nt-and that if the mine become re-locata-
bic according to the mining law-shOuid one
OF the original owner 5 names be used IN the
relocation, all of the original holders can
claim under the relocation, as copartners;
and their claims will hold good IN the Courts.
New names should, therefore, be used, and
the ground can then De decided back TO such
OF the original holders as are willing to go on
and envelope the miner, thus sJect~dAy
leaving The dconeS out IN the cold.
