THE POTTS
It's Yield Estimated by the New
York - Min ug Record.

HOrk Min me-
In our issue Of July IL, 1881, we stated
upon good local authority, says the New
York Mining Record, that the "Potts
Chamber" as it was known in that quar-
ter, had yielded to the Richmond Consoli-
dated Company in one year, according to
measurement, 80, 900 tons Of ore. Now
this Potts Chamber constituted an i'm
portant element in the famous litigation Of
the Eureka with the Richmond, the former
having set up the claim that that chamber
was a continuation, across the side lines,
OF their Champion vein, a claim which
was sustained by the Circuit Court Of the
United States, and more recently by the
Supreme Court at Washington, upon ap-
peal by the Richmond. Now, for that
year, 1878, it took about 4 3661-1000O
tons OF ore to produce q ton of base bull
ion, which was valued at that time at 5000.
Therefore, these 80, 900 tons Of ore are to
be regarded equivalent, at the least, to
1880 ton Of bullion, worth 81, 756, 900,
upon which the present stockholders Of
the Eureka Consolidated have a strong
claim that cannot, safely, and should not
10 Atib 0pA ihhuts Vi COuIs6s TIC tQulLleS
OF the case will give to the Richmond full
remuneration for the cost of extraction,
smelling and refining, a~ggregating, say
1854 so per ton, and still there would be
left as much as 1888. 500 against which the
claim OF the Eureka Company would seem
TO be almost sure to prevail. If the Trus-
tees Of the Company have taken any steps
to secure a settlement, they have been
kept profoundly secret, which is hardly
possible, as they must have been attended
with inevitable publicity. Not to proceed
at once vigorously for the adjustment Of
so considerable a claim, would be on a par
with leaving the mine unworked nearly
half the time. 1t is directly against the
interest Of the present owners Of the
property to leave this claim unsettled one
day. This sum distributed among the
shareholders would give at least Sc Sc per
share Of the stock, or more than the ag-
gregate of dividends received during the
last Is months.

New Locations ~ Regards h
Annual Expenditure.
The Salt Lake Tribune publishes the an
nexed correspondence and explanation:
Frisco, Aug. 80, 1881.
EDITOR TRIBUNE There has been some
dispute here over the application Of the
Mining Land Law Instruction No. 5. In
section 2,322 the latter clause reads thus:
'sThe first expenditure upon claims of this
class should have been performed subse.
quent to May 10, 1872, and prior to Jan.1,
1875. The required mount must be ex-
pended annually" A location made on
MAY 20, 1874, has II until May 20, 1875. or
does its time for working the frat assess
ment expire on the last day OF December,
1874, or is there any law since Cops Hand
book that gives any other starting point
for annual ex~pendituresf By answering
the above you will oblige q number of your
readers In Frisco. GEoRorUs.
The last Congress passed q revised min
ing law, making many changes, but no
very radical ones. With respect to the
assessment work required to be done on .
mining claim, az several times published
In the Tribune, the years time within
which the work must be done, begins to
run on the LIST day Of January next after
location; and the work must be done with
in one year thereafter. For instance, il .
| location is made May 20, 1881. the l~ocators
have till December 81, 1882 within which
| to do their first years assessment work.
| But If the question refers to an old location
| Of date Of May 20, 1874, or 1876, We pre-
sumo the old law would govern IN case OF
| dispute, as the law lately passed Is not
retroactive. The old law required tho
work 10 be done within twelve months
| after the actual date Of location, and no
arbitrary date was fixed in 1t.

How the Sad Intelligence Was Re-
eeived In Eureka.

eefved i'm Eureka.
At 8: 80 o'clock last night the SENTINEL
received a telegram from Elberon an
nouncing a few minutes before the death
OF President Garfield. The telegram is
dated at II P. M. The difference in time
being about three hours explains the dis
crepancy. The SENTINEL Immediately is
sued an extra conveying the sad news to
the public Of Eureka and Ruby Hill. The
extra was everywhere received with ex-
pressions Of the ~profoundest sorrow.
While his death was not wholly unex-
pected, the news produced a sensation and
a shock. None were expecting it for a
day. or SO yet. A great many people called
at the SENTINEL Office for full particulars.
Unfortunately we have nothing regarding
the last hours Of the distinguished suf-
ferer. 1t is presumed that he passed away
quietly and peacefully. He had been de-
lirious for a greater part Of the preceding
"a hours. 1t is not likely that he was con-
scious when the fatal moment arrived.
As above stated the news was received
In Eureka with the deepest regret. The
Dcai VI itcscue nObe- Ompany ana the
church bells were tolled for nearly an
hour. At the Varieties the audience was
promptly dismissed and the house closed.
Steps were at once taken to drape
the Courthouse, Opera and other public
and private buildings in mourning. Out
OF respect to the dead one day should be
observed by a general suspension of bust
ness. In similar cases hitherto it has
been the custom to observe the day set
apart for the funeral. Probably such ar
rangements will be announced by tele-
graph to-day as will cause concurrent
action throughout the land. The feeling
here is OF a character to warrant universal
participation in any line Of respect that
may be suggested from the East. Owing
to the lateness Of the hour at which the
President breathed his last it was impossi-
Bile to gather detailed information last
night. Beside, the Government authori-
ties had secured the only telegraph wire
connecting with Elberon. So long as the
President could not get well, most people
will experience a feeling of relief to know
Thai his long suffering has at last ended.
There will be the most sincere sympathy
entertained throughout the land for his
stricken family, and no place in the Union
VIII realize this quality more fully han

At the examination of teachers on Fri

II. M. White and @. l.. Weitman each q
second-grade certificate. We have been
able to get only a few Of the questions or

these will serve to show the prodigal as
tuteness required of applicants:
"Write in figures the sum Of two mill

These questions will give aspirants and
teachers a fair idea of what they may have
to answer in one branch of learning when
they apply for first-grade certificates. 1t
will, however, be of no use to keep this list,
as the Board changes it every examination.
