Important Decision by the Land
Commissioner.


For the benefit Of our readers interested
in relocations. we publish the following
important letter from Commissioner Will
hanson:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
GENERAL LAND OFFICE,
WASHINGTON, March 20, 1880.
WALTER s. LONG, Tenn Pahute- Sir {:
Your letter Of the Sd instant has been re-
ceived. You state that a lode claim was
located March 2, 1879, and ask when it will
become liable to relocation by adverse
claimants for non-expenditures.
BY Act, approved January %, 1880, the
period allowed for the first annual expend-
iture required by Section 1924, United
States Revised Statutes, is one year from
the first Of January succeeding the date Of
location, and this provision is made app1i-
cable to all locations made subsequent to
May 10, 1872. The location you name was
made March 2, 1879, the first of the sue
ceeding January is " 1880, and the law
gives one year from that date for the first
improvements under said Section 2.324,
namely, to January 1, 1881, and the claim
becomes subject to adverse location upon
failure Of expenditures January 2, 1881.
Very respectfully, J. B. WILLIAMSON.

The Mails ard Trains.

1t appears that the track has been cleared
and trains are once more moving. No
train from the west reached Palisade yes
terday, but one will arrive there this morn
ing. This will be the first Of the delayed
trains to put in an appearance. 1t should
bring four days western mail. Now that
the trains are again in motion II Ia to be
hoped that there will be no further delays
this season. The only danger to be ap-
pretended is a warm rain, carrying off the
snow quickly and causing destructive land
slides. A trip across the mountains when
things are breaking up in the spring time
is by no means a desirable one.

Nearly Nine to One.

Blaine seems to have the call by long
odds among the Republicans of Eureka
and vicinity. So far as heard from the
vote Of yesterday stands as follows: For
Blaine, in Eureka, $50; Ruby Hill, At;
Adams Hill, IL; total, 500. For Grant, in
Eureka, 50; Ruby Hill, II; Adams Hill,
/; total, 10. This is equivalent to nearly
nine to n for Blaine. But then 1t is to
be said that the third termers made no
rally, only q few Of them quietly recording
their preference for the silent man.

General P. E. Conner is not averse to going
as a delegate from Nevada to the Chicago

un~instructed. The General is a straight
forward, conscientious gentleman, and
would do what he thought best for the sue
cess Of his party. His present preference
is General Grant.

Put This and That Together.

Col. Canavan was seen on hor setback
yesterday, going in the direction Of Adams
Hill. The Imperial ticket received just
one vote at Adams Hill. The SENTINEL
would not accuse the Colonel of double
voting, but putting this and that together,
the business looks a little suspicious, to
say the least. An investigation is in order.

Fish and Game.

Texas has 4 Fish Commits
sioner whoseoffice is now purely
an honary one and an expense
to its holder. a few days ago
the government at its own ex-
pense sent a lot of FISH to Texas
for distribution, but the state
had failed to make any appro-
priation for the care Of the fish
until they could be distributed.
Mr.. Dunkins, the present COM
missioner, is an enthusiast on
the subject of fish culture and
has contributed of his private
means in furtherance of the
plan of stocking the streams of
Texas with fish. 1t is to be
hoped that the next legislature
will take this matter in hand
aud make an appropriation for
the support of the state fish
commission. 1t is very likely
that only a few thousand dol
lars viii be required to make
the commission effective, and
certainly the money could not
be appropriated to a better or
more useful purpose.
For some reason the legisla-
ture, in its wisdom, saw fit to
exempt Washington county
from the fish and game law,
while there is perhaps no coun-
~ in the state more in need. of
it. VIII our members in the
next Legislature see to it that
this county be included in those
subject to the fish and game
law.

ernor Roberts. 1t did SO with
no wish or hope for reward and
has nothing to ask of the gov
error, yet if he should see fit to
appoint Mr. w. S. Fly, of Con
zales, secretary of state, the In
quirer would not feel called up
on to censure him therefor.
As the BANNER has no friend to

would not censure the governor
for appointing Mr.. Fly, who is
no doubt fully competent to fill
the position.

The Houston Telegram dis
cusses the present Sunday
law and thinks that it is too
sweeping, and that its amend
ment will be one of the first
subjects brought up in the leg
islature. The Sunday law as it
existed prior to the amendment
was good one and it should
be restored. The existing Sun
day law is much more honored
in its breach than in its obser-
vance. Its, SO far as the towns
in Texas are concerned, a dead
letter and in the country, espc-
cialiy at cross-road stores and
groceries, it is wholly unknown.
From puritanical stand point
the Sunday law is theoretically
right, but practically tits wrong.
Its total failure is a proof of
this.
