EDUCATIONAL AND SCIENTIFIC.

W nave received answers to the
two problems published III this column
last Friday. Isaac Lauer and John
McGulnness have the correct answer
to the second, which is $3.50. The
answer to the first, of which we
have received no correct answer, is
l55,52O square feet. Joha McGuin-
ness worked the example the correct
way, his only error being a slight one
in multiplication.

Communicated

Manifest injustice is being done to the
memory and administration of the late
Sheriff, George Gilmore, by the present in
cumbent OF that office, who is attempting
to make capital out of the fact that the
county is receiving a increased revenue
from licenses. Ponderous rows of figures
contrasting the receipts from this source
with the present and former officials are
privately circulated among taxpayers,
with a view Of influencing votes in the
coming primaries. Whether Mr.. Sias is
reelected or not, is a matter Of profound
indifference to me, but he, like some other
individuals that l know Of, saves at the
spigot and loses at the bunghole. In show
ing these contrasting statements to out
siders, he is very careful to repress all
reference to the growth Of the town and
suburbs, o fact which accounts for the
boosted increase in the license receipts.
During George Gilraore's term, | will
venture to say that the item for Jail re-
pairs, and the percentage of expenses for
the recapture Of escaped prisoners were
somewhat less than for the past seventeen
months. / have no further feeling in the
matter, only as a friend Of one who cannot
rise from his grave and defend himself.
Mr.. Sias is free to make capital in any
direction that he pleases, but | submit that
it is not in good taste to assail the memory
Of the dead.

The Ward REFLEX relates the following:
John Young, an old Treasure Hill miner,
died at Hamilton, May 23d, at Mrs. Crews
lodging-house. From letters that have
been received here by former residents Of
Treasure Hill, We learn something of his
seeretive habits. 1t appears that he went
to Hamilton o n a visit, was taken sick, and
a short time before death, stated to Mrs.
Grey he had two sacks of coin buried in a
cellar connected with his cabin, and that
he wished II sent to a sister in Scotland.
The floor Of the cellar was dug up and a
thorough search made, but the coin spoken
Of was nos discovered. The parties re-
ceiving the letters are OF the opinion that
Young had money hid around his cabin.
The search that has been made would 60
to prove the truth or falsity Of at least one
of several propositions: 1t was either
purely imaginative ON Young's part, or else
some n got wind Of the deposit and got
away with ii before the search was made
open and above board. or else the deposit
was made in some other place and Mr..
Young was unable to give a clear descrip-
ton Of is whereabouts.

IMPORTANT MINING DECISION.

They have lately been having a big
mining suit in Colorado. The holders Of
the Ben Harding lode and the Bell Tunnel
Company were the parties interested. The
Ben Harding had been patented. Exp lo-
rations showed that tie lode pitched out
side of the side lines described in the pat
ent. The Bell Tunnel cut the ore beyond
these lines, and laid claim to the lode. A
suit at law followed, the Ben Harding win
ming in the local Court. The case went to
the Supreme Court Of Colorado, and that
tribunal has just reversed the decision of
the lower Court. The decision, it occurs
to us, is a most remarkable one. We quote
the concluding paragraph:
There is no time prescribed within which
he (the mincr) shall apply for a patent.
Ample opportunity to ascertain the precise
situs Of his lode with reference to the con-
tiguous land is given him. The surface
and the lode are both the subject of the
grant. The pate nj operates to convey
not only the circumscribed tract of
land which under the claimant direction,
has been plated, but also the lode con-
tanned therein with the right to follow the
same in its downward course into adjoin-
ing premises, but not to follow it when in
its general strike it departs from the verti-
cal side lines. In the latter case after its
departure it is the subject Of location by
whomsoever it may be discovered. If
then, as the evidence tends to show, the
Ben Harding lode was located, detected in
its general strike from the patented side
lines, the patentee is not entitled in virtue
of his patent to its possession beyond the
side lines, as against one who has subse-
quently located and patented it.
Judge Field established the end-line
theory in the Eureka Richmond case, and
now the Supreme Court of Colorado says
side ines must be observed as we'll. We
wonder how this COLORADO Court gets over
section two of 4he law of Congress
which provides that it shall be
lawful for the claimant of a vein or
lode g to file in the local land Office a dia-
gram Of the anne SO extended laterally or
otherwise as to conform to the local laws,
customs and rules of miners, and to enter
such tract and receive a patent therefor,
granting such mine, together with the
right to follow such vein or lode, with its
dips, angles and variations, to any depth,
although it may enter the land adjoining,
which land adjoining shall be sold subject
to this condition" Now, if this provision
means anything, it means that the miner
may follow his ledge ON its dip to any ex-
tent, even though it should pass entirely
through the land of a half-dozen Of his
neishbors. There is practically no limit
to his rights in this direction. 1t is fortu-
nate that this Colorado Bench cannot EN-
force its decisions beyond the limits Of the
Centennial State.
