GIRLS WHO WILL NEVER MARRY.-.A
leading American woman of fashion is
represented as saying that she has taken
the census of one summer resort, and can
count sixty girls who will never marry.
The reason assigned is that they are
brought up to spend money, and must
marry it or remain single. But the men
of their own set will not marry except
for some great advantage. and they
know to dot that the sixty girls will
not only be poor themselves but will
have poor sisters.

INNING LAW.

An Eastern mining exchange, which is
considered good authority upon such
matters, says:
Miners frequently coniound the dis
coyery with annual labor. For instance,
rs. r." propounds to this department
the following questions: Il would ask il
mining location made at | o'clock A. NJ.
January l, 1852, and hundred dollars
$500 worth of work be done on the mine
in the year of location, 1882, is that suffi.
Gent to hold the same until December 81,
1854, las understand the Secretary of
tho Tetoror rules that tho location holds
tile same until the 3lst of December,
1855 and If not, must part OF all the
work be done in 1882" The answer to
this correspondents inquiry is, that the
worl; douo to effect discovery there.
after the same year, whether costing $50
or 5000, " not OF the nature of assess.
mont work or annual labor, but valid
discovery holds the lode only for the year
Of discovery, regardless of cost In the
next year following that Of location, if the
lode be not patented with work done af-
ter discovery, there must be 500 of
work done az the required annual labor
in the second year. In tho case given,
the discovery in 1882 holds the lode for
1882, and no matter how much other
work be done in that year, the full 500
of work must be done in 1888, also in
1884, if patent be not meanwhile obtain.
ed, or receivers receipt. In every year
following that of location, and until re-
cciver's receipt be obtained, tho claimant
has the entire year. up to and including
December 81, to complete the 500 work
for that year
Cost has nothing to do with the sufici.
ency Of location; nor has location any
direct connection with annual labor, ex-
cept to determine the year when such an
nual labor shall commence, being due first
under the law during the year next fol.
lowing that Of location.
Who can make valid lode location
ANY person who is citizen of the United
States, or who has declared his intention
to become citizen.
Will discovery or location expenses APP
ply to annual labor: No, they will not.
This question was put to the General
Land Office: Will the fees of recording
location and deed. and the expenses of
journeys to and from the mine when
making the location apply, ETC.: The an
swer was: The expenditure required by
law must be made upon the claim itself,
or upon roadways, tunnels, bitches, or
other Improvements, used, or to be used,
for, or in connection with, the develop
ment OF the mine. The expenses incurred
in travelling to, locating and recording
mine cannot be taken into consideration
in estimating the value of expenditures
made on the claim.
Under this sound ruling such expendi.
lures will not be allowed in estimating
the total amount (S500) required for OBJ.
tainment Of patent, and in any event they
could not apply on the annual labor re.
quired, as they are incurred during the
year Of location, when there is no annual
labor due.

L,EUrFNANr sIO>EY,s JOURNEY

The Putnam river, which Lieutenant
Stoney and his men have just returned
from exploring, proves to be the princi
pal river in the upper part of Alaska. II
flows into Hotham Inlet just north of the
Arctic Circle, and was traced by Stoncy
to the east and northeast distance Of
400 or 500 miles, fully 200 miles further
than the Corwin's launch wen. III G
river receives many tributaries from the
north, the majority being shallow, rapid
and of very low temperature. So no
ticeable was the latter popularity that
the pressure of the steam in the boiler of
the little launch was noticeably affected
on approaching tributary. The ther-
momcter was also affected, as the ten.
peraturc of the water in some OF these
streams was as low as So and 49, From
tho southern side there was but one
stream Of magnitude, called by the Indi.
ans the Pah river, which was utilized by
them in journeyins southwark, short
portage only being necessary to reach the
Yukon river, which flows southwark to
the trading posts. After reaching dis.
lance of 800 miles from the mouth of the
Putnam river rapids compelled the men
to take to o skin canoe, which was towed
against the current for seven days. The
men towing were compelled to wade in
the water, and but twelve miles day
was made. At the end Of a week the
men gave out, and Lieutenant Stoney
determined to make a short cut across
the country This was accomplished by
himself and a couple Of men. They car
ried light canoe along with them, and
two large lakes were found at the head
of the branch stream. A couple of days
were spent in explorations with the
canoe. An adjoining mountain afforded
a good view for the east, showing that
Putnam river flowed on with undimin.
ishei volume. The Indians reported
that weeks journey further up there
was great lake, which looked like the
sea.
The return trip by canoe brought the
camp in sight within few hours. The
skin canoe was again utilized, and in
single day they rcgained the steam
launch.
Stoney's explorations showed that by
means Of portages communication can be
maintained with the Arctic in midwinter.
The Putnam evidently rises on the Dor.
ders Of the British possessions. The
country is extremely mountainous, some
peaks being clearly defined, Others being
rounded. The whole country northward
seemed a mass of mountain peaks, and
the Indians described the country as be-
ing similar as far as the Arctic. The
climate in summer is pleasant and the
vegetation generally is luxuriant. Larch,
spruce, cottonwood, birch and willow
lined the river banks, on which flowers
grew in abundance and roses bloomed
profusely.
The natives were honest and friendly.
They assisted in unloading the schooner,
helped to get her over the bar and re.
loaded her. Nothing was missed, though
many of the things were. highly priced by
them.
Among the specimens secured was the
huge tusk of mammoth. Specimens of
green and black jade were also found.
