How the World is to be De.
stroyed.

Sunday night st. Joseph preacher
told his congregation that the only
reason why the world had not been de-
stroyed is that the people may be saved.
He further asserted that when the
Lord gets ready to destroy the world,
ali ne will have to do will be to separ-
ate the oxygen from the hydrogen, and
then the first woman who lights a
match to start a fire in the kitchen
stove will be the immediate cause OF
the greatest conhagration ever known
An unsanctified friend of ours takes
issue with the gentleman on this point
holding that when the Lord makes up
His mind to do this He will not throw
any part of the responsibility upon the
poor woman who drudges in the kitch-
en- or parbols her fair hands in the
laundry, while her husband is down
town playing freeze out for the beer
but will lay for the fellow who per-
sists in putting vile cigar on the
rear platform of the horse-car There
is good opening for debate on this vi.

ming to get mixed up in it.-St. Joseph

Law Points on Locations.

The law makes no distinction in this
regard on account of sex. Mining
claims may be located and held by either
males or females upon compliance with
law.
A minor doing business for himself
in his own name has a right to dispose
of whatever he has acquired by virtue
of a location.
A location made on Sunday is not in
valid, unless prohibited by local enact
ment.
A mining location must be substan-
TALLY parallelogram.
The middle of vein or lode must be
ascertained by actual exploration and
development unless there is a plain
we'll defined cropping. 1t cannot be
assumed to be in an unexplored posi-
ton.
The location must be on one vein. and
but one vein can be made the basis of
the location survey of mining loca-
tion.
A location of mining claim upon a
lode or vein of ore, should be laid along
the same lengthwlse of the course of
its apex at or near the surface, as well
under the mining act of 1866 as under
that of 1872. If located otherwise. the
location will only secure so much of
the lode or vein as it actually covers.
Each locator is entitled to follow the

dip of the lode or vein to an indefinite
depth though it carries him outside
OF the side lines of the loca-
tlon; but this right is basel on the hy-
pothesls that the side lines substan-
italy correspond with the course of the
vein at the surface; and it is bounded
at each end by the end lines of the To-
cation, crossing the vein or lode and
extending perpendicularly downwards,
and indefinitely in their own direction
A claim of more than the number of
feet allowed by law upon a quartz claim
is VOID for the excess. but setting the
stakes few feet further apart than
the limit allowed by law does not de-
feat the entire claim.
In Il notice of location 1t it not suffi-
cient to simply say IL claim 1900 feet
along this vein with 800 feet wide sur
face ground" but the situation of the
claim with reference to some natural
object of prominence, its location tOpo
graphically and the names of adjoin-
claims If any must be given.
On claim located January 1st 1884
assessment work, under the law, Is not
required until December 9lst, 1885. and
any work that may be done on the
claim during 1884 is of no value as ap
plying on the work due as first assess
ment in 1885.
After a claim is located and until IT
is paten ted an assessment of 500 pei
year must be expended for its develop
ment, but this expenditure may be puI
upon roads, cabins, or any such neces
sary adjuncts TO the work upon The
claim and of necessity need not be pu
upon the surface ground of the claim
to which it is to be applied.
Where two or more locations lyinl
contiguous have the same ownership
the assessment work for all of then
may be done upon any one of the mum
Ter.
Most of the mining states and terri
tories designate by statute the number
of stakes or monuments to be used il
complying with the law requiring thai
boundaries of claims must he marked
so that they can be distinctly traced
The number ranges from six TO nine
In New Mexico there is no statute OF
the subject so the mine owner mus
use his own judgment in the premises

less than six, putting one at each enc
and at each corner.
