Mining Rulings.

The acting commissioner Of the gen.
cral land Office, in reply to Nevada in
quirer, says:
First-A location Of mining claim
may be made by an agent.
Second the certificate Of a recorder OF
a mining district that work to the value
of 800 has been performed upon lode
claim, is merely prima Eicie evidence of
such work. When a conflict arises be-
tween an original locator and one who
relocates upon an alleged failure to
make tn" required annual expenditures,
the question of the true value Of such
determined in suitable action before
the proper tribunal.
Third--This Office has no authority to
regulate the fees of mining district re-
corders, or to decide when such fees are
reasonable or when excessive.
Fourth Section of the act Of Jan
uarv ~ 1880, provides that the period
within which the work required to be
done annually on all unpatented min
erll claims shall commence Oh the first
day Of January succeeding the dat of
location Of such claim Hence, a claim
located on the lst day Of January, 1881,
il not subject to relocation for failure to
pcrform The required annual labor until
the lst of January succeeding the date
of the original location, viz Oh the LIST

All the indications point to an effort
on the part Of the Milwaukee company
to use its efforts against Yankton be-
tween now and the next legislative SEES
sion for the purpose Of preventing it
from making any vigorous fight against
the removal Of the capital to q townsitc
owned by the inside ring of the Milwau-
kee company. The design appears to
be to weaken Yankton in every possible
way in advance Of the grand grab to be
made year from next winter. There
is one thing certain-that Yankton can
prevent the Milwaukee company from
securing the capital and unless it re-
ceives decent treatment its strength will
be exercised when the proper time
comes. Huron is Yankton's second
choice.-Press & Dakotian.

4 TAME EAGLE THAT WORRIES
Dogs.

Some three months ago, while
hunting III the mountains cast OF the

captured q young American eagle. At
the time the bird was quite Small
and from appearances but few
weeks old. Mr.. Burlington has his
pet confined in the yard back Of his
shop and the many and curious
lnoukeEshincs inlulgcd in hy the
mountain bird are really amusing.
Measuring some eight feet from tip
to tip and weighing fnrty p'nlpds
with talons three inches in length,
there is but small chance for an7
dogs residing i'll the ncighborhood.
For as sure as a cnnine makes his
appearance, the eagle spreads his
heavy wings, and with loud scream
nc lights upon the back ofhis terror
stricken dog. The scene that follows
is one Of great interest. The dog,
without farther notice, darts throuo h
the side gate and 6,It iHto Che street.
with the eagle attached to his back.
and that too in manner to stav.
Down the street he goes at break
neck speed. At distance of about
two b:avks the eagl. bids the dog an

turns, rs though nothing had hap
pcned. The same experiment is gone
through with whenever The tlor can
be procured. 1t docs not seem ne
'essary to mark that dogs Of any
description arc seldom seen in that
part of the town, and the same dog
never more than once. 1t would be
