Our Opinion.

We think the newspapers are
not the proper tribunals in which
to try the rights of property: but
it does appear to us, and will we
think be the opinion of the COM
munity at Large, that whore a mine
has been located as long as the
North Homestake has, and where
the work has been promptly per
formed ON it as is the case with
that mine, and where the proper
owners are actually at work on it
as lie Mr.. Ferguson at work on the
Homestske, that no parties have
any right 10 prospect on its surface
grounds in order to find any VEN,
"cross" or otherwise.
This, we understand was the
case with Mr.. Dye and Patterson,
and that their alleged claim is has
ed upon such discovery shaft with
in the lines Of the Homestake To-
location.
