PATENT YoUR CLAIMS.
II You Would Have Capitalists Look
Favor bly, ON Them.

Capitalists and mining IN generally, saws
the Times Review, ars beginning TO look more
closely into Tho titles of tbs claims III ~ pur-
chase than they havs heretofore be n in the
habit Of doing. In fact. even now, one Of the
first questions they ask Is "Iave you a Uni
ted States patent to 20 II Claim ?n They have
boon caught 80 often that III y are very eau
tious about investing In a m IRE loea ion. b II
when they purchase u Government title they
know exnctly what th,y are getting, and are
perfectly safe from having claims hoated upon
their property. A striking ex lmpIe of tn
difficulty attending thu sale of unpatented
mines is Of every day occurrence. While the
TITLES 10 your mining claims may b, undis-
pnted, it Is an undeni lble fact that many OF
them might have be n sold years ago and ths
owners ere this mads largo fortunes by in
vestments in other properties from the pro.
ceeds of the sale. Ths tim f., b IS passed when
IN ordinary location can be sold. An ordin.
airy claim. hIving a patent upon 1t, can be
sold twice as readily Us q m Ich better prop
erty with nothing but u mining Record rs
title. As a general thing East ,In purchasers
know but little personally of the merits OF a
aifHot oAO9lA iou u ItpoTlS Vi tQelT eX-
ports, but they do knoS that everything else
in ths way of real estate which they purchase,
ths first thing to bs looked tor Is u clear title.
Prospectors have long regarded a United
States patent rs a sort Of uunec sssary luxury
and the result is that many of them arc still
holding on TO their claims, being un-
able to find anybody to buy them. Mean
while locations are being 1oated upon their
ground. and II any thing Is found, tho first
thing they know thsy are deep In las suits,
and finally lose the ground which they might
have absolutely owned. Further, most people
have an ex iggerated idea Of tn cost of a pat
ent. When a patent Is applied for the an-
nual assessment work is ended. SO that which
is often paid out for usel ,ss work would soon
amount to three times the Gust of a Govern
ment title. These arc points which it would
be we'll for every claim owner to consider
The various claims sold in a mining camp will
be apt 10 bring men with capital in. Are you
ready to let them pass you by because you
have no bedrock title

Times Review. we interviewed Mr.. VIM. IL.

inclined to tbs belief that his ideas of that

shelters. and in fact the country is pronounced
to be an internal fraud.

Rich Nuggets.

The Sierra (Cal.) Citizen of last week
relates the following: ION Sunday
last a piece of gold weighing flity-nine
ounces was found in The dump of the
Bald Mountain Company. Forest City.
This specimen is a particularly fine
looking one, being something in the
shape of a retort. The large end is
almost round and a. large as a small
mans fist. Several pieces of ten
twelve and fifteen ozs. were taken out
the same day. The large piece was
discovered among the gravel before II

The Amateurs Tonight.

1t Is but seldom that the residents
of Cherry Creek nave an opportunity
to enjoy an evenings entertainment
before the foot-lights of the scenic

take advantage of the opportunity
which l. afforded them This evening.

We ought to show our interest in home

a rousing turnout for their entertain
ment tins evening. 1t Is safe to predict
in advance that they will give a better
performance than half the ilinerant

lug his mo her-in-law, if he values

A Railroad victory.

Tucson, December 2Sth.-The Star has
received the following from Sonora:
HERMosILLo, December 23d.-The railway
officials have to-day received adyices from
Mexico, permitting them TO proceed with the
construction Of the Sonora Railway on the
Magdalena route TIE decision is victory
for them, as it is their choice, and against
which strong influence had been brought to
bear in Mexico to induce the Government to
force the company to take another route.
There is general rejoicing among the railroad
people and the citizens generally at the
resumption of operations, and that their case
has been settled in favor of the Magdalena
route, the general belief being that it is best
for the road and for the country. Work will
be resumed with the utmost dispatch, and as
