Important to Miners.

Much argument and oral explana.
ton Of the mining law of the United
States is always incident to mining
districts. The Commissioner of the
Land Office in Washington has
recently gives an Interpretation to
the Congressional Mining Law
which seems to be in accordance both
with technical justice and plain
common sense. A mining claim is
forfeited whenever the assessment
year is SO nearly gone that the re-
quired work cannot possibly be
done in the time, and possession is
not resumed until the locator fully
complies with the law in these re-
spects. A re-locator who takes
possession before the locator's year
expires cannot be ousted by the
latter while holding in conflict with
the law. The only safe plan, there
fore. is to make sure that full hum
dred dollars worth Of work has been
put upon claim in time to prevent
any risk or future trouble. If this
Interpretation of the law is borne in
mind and its provisions strictly
lived up to it will save much an
noyance, and perhaps litigation
among miners; and those who are
holding claims in good faith should
see that they do not let the time
pass in which to make good their
assessment work.-Bodie Standard.

Whitney, the Murderer. Granted a
New Trial.

James ID. Whitney, who was con-
victed, couple of months ago, in
Oregon, of the murder of Oliver
Hebert, well-known former resi-
dent of this city, and sentenced to
be hung, has been granted a new
trial. Hebert's widow is believed to
be doing everything in her power to
save Whitney from the gallows. AT
the trial, it will be remembered,
some evidence tending to show that
Mrs. Hebert and the murderer were
on very intimate terms was intro
duced with the view of duplicating
Mrs. Hebert in the crime, but she
was discharged for lack of sufficient
evidence.

The following locations of mining
claims have recently been filed for

The Hose COmpany's Ball.

The second annual ball of the
Hose Company of this city will take
place in the hall of the Miners
Union, on Thursday night, the Goth
instant. Washington's birthday,
which is the date for the Hose Com
pany's annual balls, occurring on
Saturday, this year, it became neces-
sary to fix upon another date as near
the 22d as possible. The 2lst was
agreed to, but for that date
all the available music was already
engaged. The Goth was therefore
selected. Langer's quadrllle band
will furnish the music, and no pains
will be spared by the members OF the
hose company to make the occasion
a thoroughly enjoyable one.

The SutrO Compromise.

The negotiations between Adolph
Sutro and the mine managers, which,
as was reported IN the Chronicle of
Friday last, had arrived at such a
gratifying stage, 1t is feared may not
proceed much further, as COM
plications are threatening to arise.
There are many details, involving
widely conflicting interests, yet to
be considered, and it is apprehended
by some of those directly interested
that even yet no compromise may be
perfected.-S. F. Chronicle, 9th.

TRIED FOR HIS LIFE.
A Man OF Medicine In Jeopardy
The Piute Treatment Of Doctors
Who Kill Their Patients.

Captain Bob, the renowned Indian
warrior who is the pride of that por-
ton of the Piute tribe which lives
between the Comstock and Pyramid
Lake, is lying on his death bed, and
there is much sorrowing and lamen-
tation thereat in the Piute cam
poodies, as well as threatening of the
tribal medicine men. Last Sunday
one who is known as Nose was es-
corted to this city by over two hum
dred Indians of all ages, from the
pappoose in arms to the aged buck
or squaw. These Indians represented
every campoodie from Walker river
to Pyramid, and had been summoned
to try the medicine man, who was
accused of trying to poison Captain
Bob. The evidence was to the effect
that only three of the medicine mans
patients had died, and if Captain
Bob were soon gathered to the bosom
of the Great Spirit, he would there
fore only be the fourth. This cir
cumstance saved the lite Of the
man of medicine, as by custom of
the tribe the medicine men are al
lowed to live until five of their pa
tients have preceded them to the
happy hunting grounds. Then, how
ever, they are executed by being
stoned to death, each member of the
council which passes sentence upon
him being compelled to throw at
least one stone at the doomed man.
But, Notwithstanding the fact that,
according to Piute law, Nose was not
yet doomed, many members of the
council held that, If Nose were
killed, the life of Captain Bob
might thereby be saved, and for a
while this opinion seemed to pre-.
vail. But finally, Nose, who during the
trial had stood in the center of the
council, pale as death and perspir.
ing profusely, was told that he
might 60, but that he must save
Captain Bob or he would surely be
tied into a shaft head downward.
Nose lives near the Alta works, in
Lower Gold Hill, and he started
homeward without waiting for a
second order.
The above was ascertained
by a TIMES reporter who
was present at the trial, and who
failed miserably in an attempt to inn
press the value of human life upon
the untutored savage mind. The
following brief extracts from con.
versation had on the subject with q
leading chief may be accepted as a
fair sample of the whole:
REPoRTER,-Say, Jim, white man
does not kill medicine man, NO
matter how many patients die.
CHIEF JIM.-Whita man heap
dam foola!
This reply is not lacking in
strength, whatever else it may be
deficient of.

Reducing Expenses.

1t is reported that the hosting
works OF the Belcher and Crown
Point mines will be closed ON or be.
fore the first of next March, and that
the prospecting operations in both
mines will thereafter be conducted
through the Belcher- Crown Point air
shaft. A saying of between $4,000
and $4,000 per month will thus be
effected.
