Secure your Claims.

This week we publish the entire Miner
al Land Law of Congress, and advise par
ties in this county, who hold valuable
quartz or placer mines. to proceed at once
to secure Government patents for the same.
Miners can either enter their claims indi-
viduallp p or form associations and enter
lands in that way and make their own pri-
vate arrangements for division after the
common title has been obtained. 1t oc-
ours to us that the association plan would
operate satisfactorily among the miners in
certain portions of the county. So far as
the clause requiring the $1,000 expendi-
ture In labor or money goes, we presume
there are very few claims of any value in
the county but what have had that amount
expended upon them. To the "local mi
ming laws, alluded to in the bill, there
will probably be but little attention paid,
as most of these laws were never properly
recorded or preserved and are obsolete.
In this connection we will also state that
we are informed by miner residing in an.
other township, that he has received a
proposition from capitalists below who offer
to furnish him money to enter the land on
which his claim is situated, and pay him
5000 beside, provided he will agree to turn
the title over to them as soon as it is OBJ.
tanned from the Government. This cir
cumstance is sufficient to show that the
mineral lands will be sought after, and il
lustrates the necessity of our local miners
securing their claims before capitalists COB.
BILE them up by such procedure as above
outlined. Owners of valuable mining
ground should remember that the only as.
surance they can have for uninterrupted
and continued possession of their property
is by obtaining Government patents there.

come class of active, wide-awake men,
with means at their command, looking cut
for chances for investment and opportuni-
ties for gain. That our placers and quartz
will attract their attention and excite their
covetousness cannot for a moment be
doubted

Pursuant to previous call, quite large
meeting Of German and American sympa-
thizers with Germany in her struggle
against rance, assembled at the Court
House on last Saturday evening. L. We'll
leudorff was chosen Chairman and David
We'll >ecretary. The Chairman then sta
ted that the object of the meeting was to
express sympathy for the German cause,
aud raise funds to be disbursed for the re
lief of the wounded and suffering. E.
levin addressed the meeting and briefly
but pointedly illustrated the main ques-
tions and interests connected with the war
between Germany and France, and took
his seat amid applause. On being called
for, John S. Follausbee Esq arose and de-
llvered a few stirring and eloquent remarks
eulogistic of the German cause, and was
loudly cheered. G. c. Schroter being
called out, stated that although he was
proud to be a citizen of the United States,
still his sympathies could extend to the
Fatherland in her struggle against French
dictatiou, and. he hoped the German flag
might be borne ayictoriously to Paris and
float there until an honorable peace should
be guaranteed. He was applauded in a

Whereas, Napoleon has declared war on
Germany for alleged reasons which his

Resolved, That we find the German ma.
tion justified in resisting by force of arms,
the insulting and arrogant demands of Ma

two nations into this war solely for selfish
purposes and his own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Resolved, That in the defense of the
honor and integrity of our fatherland and
aginst the interference of foreign powers in
its internal affairs, our heartfelt sympathies

of the just cause, and are confident that
the present war will effect the unity and
independence of Germany, and ultimately
benefit the political progress of all nations
Of Europe.
