Mineral Instructions.

We are under obligations to Senator Con-
ness for copy of the circular of the Com
missioner of the General Land Office in
relation to mining claims. 1t will be remem-
bered says the Placerville Courier, that an
act of Congress was approved in July, 1866,
granting the right of way to ditch and canal
owners over the public land, and for other
purposes. We understand the object of the
law to be the settlement of the vexed aues-
ton of title to the mineral lands, and to
enable any person or persons to secure the
absolute fee simple of any claim or claims he
or they shall desire to locate and hold under
this law.
The act makes the mineral lands of the
public domain open and free to the explora-
alton and occupation of all who are now or
who may have declared their intentions to
become citizens of the United States. Local
rules and customs of miners in the several
mining districts must be observed in the
location, and the same will govern in SO far
as they do not conflict with the laws of the
United States. The second section of the
law provides: That quartz claim, or any
rock bearing the precious metals, may be
located, and a patent granted therefor, giving
with it the right to follow the vein or lode,
with its dips, angles and variations, to any
depth, although it may enter the land ad-
Joining, which land shall be sold subject to
this right. But it imposes as conditions
LIST. If the claim has been previously occu-
pied and worked according to the rules of
the district wherein it is situated, an expen-
diture either in actual labor and improve
ments to an amount not less than one
thousand dollars. I'd. That there must be
no controversy about, or opposing claim to
the possession. Sd. That o diagram of the
claim must be filed in the local land office,
the extent of the claim laterally or otherwise
being regulated by the rules of the mining
district where the claim is situated. In this
connection wequote the instructions of Com
missioner Wilson:
Mining claims may be entered at any dis
trict land office in the United States, under
this law, by any person or association of
persons, corporate or incorporate. In max
ing the entry however, such a description of
the tract must be filed as will indicate the
vein, or lode, or part or portion thereof
claimed, together with diagram represent
ing by reference to some natural or artificial
monument, the position and location of the
claim and the boundary thereof, SO far as
such boundaries can be ascertained.
Section three provides that on filing the
diagram, diagram and a notice of intention
to apply for patent must be posted iE a
conspicuous place on the claim. It is then
the duty of the register of the land Office to
publish the notice of the same in the nearest
newspaper, and to post such notice in his
office for period of ninety days. Then no
opposing claim having been made, the Sur

his stable was sold his house next his
old friends dropped off his wife died
and his children became scattered and
now he spends his nights in lettering
about bar-rooms and listening to the horse
