THE ALBION.
Its Miners Paid Off Up to January
Ist by the Superintendent.

The miners in the Albion quit work in
the mine night before last, the II o'clock
shift not going on. This was presumably
the result of q meeting of the Miners
Union, at which it was determined that
the members of that organization would
not continue to work in the Albion mine
unless the Albion Company should do two
things: First, pay its miners off up to the
1st Of January, 1883; and, second, estab-
lish regular pay-days. A committee Of the
Union waited upon Col. E. N. Robinson,
the Superintendent Of the company yester-
day morning, to announce to him the ac-
tion that the Union had taken in the prem
ises. The result of the interview was that
Albion miners to the number of 100 called
at the Superintendent's Office and
received their pay up to the first Of
the month. Colonel Robinson informs
SENTINEL reporter that he stated
to the committee that the men could
have had their wages on demand without
| the intervention Of the Union. There are
still a number Of miners Of the Albion who
| have not yet called for their pay, but who,
| the Superintendent says, will be paid off on
application, as the money is in the Treas
| ury awaiting their demand. As to the
second proposition of the Union, that the
Albion should establish regular pay-days,
| Colonel Robinson informed the committee,
we are told by the latter, that he had writ
| ten to the Trustees of the company in San
Francisco Tuesday night, asking instruc-
tions from them in the matter. The
Miners Union Committee also telegraphed
to the Trustees of the Albion Company,
asking that they establish regular pay
| day. To this telegram they got tele-
| ,,t,i t. L. ROhiDSOn,
the President of the company, stating in
substance that it ia the desire Of the man
ayers of the Albion mine to fix upon reg
| ular payday as soon as the bullion pro-
| duct of the mine warrants it. Here ended
| this part Of the negotiation, which, as
| far as we know, remains in statu quo.
| The Miners Union held meeting last
night, Just for what purpose-o of course,
oan be only speculated upon, as their
deliberations are secret. 1t seems, how
ever, inasmuch as the question of paying
Off the miners up to the time asked was
settled by the prompt payment OF all the
miners who called for their wages, there
was nothing left for them to deliberate
upon in the matter under discussion but
their second proposition as to the liking OF
a payday which is left undetermined be-
tween them and the Trustees OF the Albion
| Mining Company. What the result of the
meeting was will be announced when we
have found out by authority what It is.
We hope, however, for the benefit OF the
miners, the mining company, and last, but
not least, for the interest OF the whole
Damp, which Is seriously affected BY any
Misunderstanding between tho men who
own the mine and those who work them in
our midst, that all differences will be har-
moniously adjusted. On the streets yes

Interesting TO Veterans Holding

Interesting 10 Veterans Holding
Government Claims.
U. S. Surveyor General Davis has re-
ceived from the Department of the Inte-
rior at Washington the following circular
interesting to soldiers and others:
In view of extensive frauds in the matter
OF declaratory statements of homestead ap-
plicants, under sections 1904 and 2,309 Of
the revised statutes, the privilege con-
ferred by the filing of such claims having
been made the occasion of barter and sale,
without attempt on the part of the soldier
to comply with the statute by making for
NAL entry at the district Office, and COM
mencement of settlement upon the land
within the prescribed period Of six months,
the following regulations are prescribed for
the admission of such filings
Proof OF qualification as an honorably
discharged soldier must be furnished in
accordance with existing regulations in
case of entry by soldiers who make direct
homestead application without availing
themselves of the preliminary filing Oath
of the soldier, setting forth his residence
and postoffice address, must accompany
the filing to the effect that the claim is
made for his exclusive use and benefit, for
the purpose of actual settlement and Guilt
walton, and not either directly or Indirect
ly for the uso or benefit Of any other per-
son; and it must also be shown by such
oath that he has not heretofore either
made d homestead entry or filed declara-
tory statement under the homestead law.
AS above implied by the requirement of
the oath, a soldier will be held to have
exhausted his homestead right by the fill
49, l. J,,1 ,k,&~ LII,
manifested that the right to file is priv
ilege granted to soldiers in addition to the
ordinary privilege only in the matter of
giving them power to hold their claims for
six months after the selecton but is not
license to abandon such selection with the
right thereafter to make regular home
stead entry independently of such filing.
This is clear from the statutory language.
Section 2,304 provides that "the settler
shall be allowed six months after locating
his homestead and filing his declaratory
statement, within which to make his entry
and commence his settlement and improve
ment;" and Section $500 requires him sin
person. to "make his actual entry, COM
mence settlements and improvements on
the same, and thereafter fulfil all the
requirements of law" These must be
done con the same" land selected and
"looated" by the filing.
Following the accepted practice in pre-
emption cases. the filing of declaratory
statement will not be held to bar the adj
mission Of other filings and entries; but
any person making entry or claim during
the period allowed by law for entry Of the
soldier will do SO subject to his right, and
his application when offered within such
time will be allowed as matter of right
and operate to exclude the intervening
claim,

A Strike.

We we're shown yesterday piece Of very
fine rock from the Kitty Tunnel. 1t is
rich in black metal. and will probably 60
Sl5o per ton. The tunnel, owned by Col.
E. N. Robinson, is being worried by force
of six miners, on two ten-hour shifts. 1t
is in 600 feet. A seam had been followed
on an upraise, but the ground not looking
favorable, the upraise was temporarily
abandoned, and the seam was followed
downward below the tunnel level. In
sinking, ledge Of mineralized rock was
unooverd, in which small seam from two
to three inches Of the ore mentioned was
discovered. 1t is a fiattering prospect.

IN regard 70 the bonded lndebtedness OF
Lincoln County, says the Phoebe Record,
Judge Rives disclaims all charges as to
working in the interests of any Of the
creditors of the county whatsoever. The
part he has taken in this matter he consid-
cred was to the best interests of the tax
payers at large. AS it is a general i'm
preston that members of the Water Com
pany hold large sum of the bonded
indebtedness Of the county, we will here
state that County Treasurer Elan informs
us that such ia not the case. That not a
member of that company owns dollar Of
county Indebtedness, neither are they in
terested in any.

Rev. G. W. Davis preached the funeral
sermon at the burial Of Jack Ross in Car.

to by large crowd, among whom were
many who had not seen the inside Of a

credit to the preacher, who surmised that
though deceased sold whisky and gambled,

THE McCONKEY AFFAIR.

The Hamilton correspondent Of the

There is really nothing new in regard to
the McOonkey affair that can get hold OF.
All is conjecture, and wild at that. It is
the main topic of conversation as yet, and
diversity of opinion grows greater, not
less. In naming Raum and Robinson as

add Mrs. Geo. P. McConkey 90 executrix

in which the word ''defalcation" occurs.
Deficit" or deficiency" apparently suits
the majority as preference here. Your

llshed last week, meets with general ap-
proval by most parties, and is considered
the fairest statement Of the case yet made.
The following notes originate in the

glad to note, that we have not heard a
