A letter received by us last even

A letter received by us last even ing intimates that the SILVER BELT, published at Globe, and the Florence Citizen will support Col. Woolsey thro ,gh the campaign. Rather guess the Tucson Star will also come out for the Golonel.-Miner.
 The Miners informant is an intel ligent biped. He knows a thlng or two, and now that he has intImated the course of the BELT in the con gressional election, he might be in duced to convey to the Miner the long sought for information, who was the father of Zebedee's children? s'Knogledge is power" and so is the Archimedes screw. The two com bined, with the assistance of the Miners correspondent, move tn e world.

WorkIng on Mining CIaims.


 Fps SILVER BELT:-The mining law of Globe district requires that 1 S25 be expended on mining claim within three months after the date of location. This requirement IS to some extent in conflict with congress sional mining law. The latter is very liberal towards the poor miner and practically says to him-you can have at least eleven months grace af- ter you discover and locate a lode before you do any work upon It, and during that period you may probab- ly earn sufficient money to enable you to expend $100 in complying with the law before the year expires. But the local law is much less liber- al and in one respect 1t says to the loeator-even if you are not ready to begin development work on your claim you must go and scratch around on the surface to make 1t appear that you have done S25 worth of labor that will afterwards be of no use to you, and if you don't do that witdin three months the jumper" will come and take your claim. The worst thing the 'siumperp will find ob- structing his way in this little game will be the custom that has been es- tablished in Globe district as if by universal consent of the miners All claim owners for instance that use the county but not the district Re- | cords are allowed nearly a full year to begin their work, and the jump CT" never touches their claims even though q plck has not been struck upon them at the end of three 
 Now, what is nicely favored salice for the young and tender goose is necessarily a choice dressing for the 'ld and sineWy gander. If the dis 'rlct law ls made to conform to con- gressional law when a locator so de- ipises it's requirements that he wholly gnores them either as to 9 record or he performance of work within three months, hoy can it be used by jumpers" to enable them to rob 8 ocator who has at least i. part com 1lied with it's stipulations Dy record ng under itf
 Tie paramount object seemingly 'f the local law IS merely to compel he locator to do a little work on his .laim so as to identify it and prove o passing prOspectors that the ,roand IS already located

Mr.. Gramm's drug store room looks

We had the pleasure on Monday of
last week Of making the acquaintance
Of w. s. Gray, a new resident Of this
place. He has a rather remarkable
history. He was born In Detroit,
Mich, but has spent nearly thirty years
in foreign parts, principally in Aus
tralia and South Africa. He came
here from the latter place, where he
was mail contractor. He says the
climate there is considerably cooler
than in Texas, the country rising to an
altitude of from 5000 to 10000 feet
above the sea, but it is even more sub
ject to drought. He showed US photo.
graphs Of the leading chiefs who were
engaged in the Kafir war With Eng
land, and others Of interest. We
found Dir. Gray an intelligent and
pleasant gentleman. He purchased
some tine since q ranch OF Geo. T.
McGehee, and expects to see what can
be done in the way Of business and
the profitable investment of capital in
Texas.

Some have remembered US in this way,
and we hope many others will not fail
to do so as soon as possible. The sea-
son for paying debts is at hand, and
small ones, such as newspaper sub

larged and improved standard for near

if we did so till this time We should
have large additions to our list. Will
our friends allow US to remind them
that now. and for some months to
come, is the best time for action, mon
ey being pleptier than at any other
season. Our subscription list ought to
be at least double aohat 1t no,o is. II
each Of our present subscribers would
procure one more (and many might do
much better, the work would be done.
We trust at least that each subscriber
who is pleased with the paper, will
show it to his neighbor who is not o
subscriber, and ask him to subscribe
In return we pledge our best efforts to
make it better and better.
The FREE PRESS ought to have not
less than one thousand subscribers in
Hays county alone. 1t lacks good
deal now of having that number, but
we trust we shall be able to make a
better report ere many more months
pass away.
