for himself, that he wants them for his own
use, and intends to make them his perma-

engaged to sell them, etc. We do not give
the precise oath, but only its substance. A
man that would take this oath and perform
the other acts spoken Of by our Correspond

MINING ADVERTISEMENTS has
been some discussion as to the proper paper
in which notices Of application to purchase
surface and quartz mines should be publish
ed. Our neiglbor and ourself agreed that
the law required the publication in the paper
nearest the claim, and with that we were
rstis6ed. though it deprived the friends Of
this Office from having the work done where
they most desired it, and left us but mole
ty Of the business. But when we found
that while we were sending our friends to
the other office, it was taking all that come,
whether nearest or farthest from that office.
We concluded to at once ascertain how the
Register and Receiver would hold, and to
that end had the question brought to their
notice by an Attorney. The answer to this
question from the Land Office is, that "the
Register, where two papers are published in
the same town, allows the parties interested
to designate the paper Of their choice. This
settles the question, and is satisfactory in the
fullest sense to US. Parties having these
notices to publish from any portion of the
county can have them appear in the HERALD
in an accurate and legal form and at as low
rates as at any Office in the county. with the
necessary aAidavits as required by law,
