Company of New York on mortgage
bonds of the road, to be redeemed in 80
years, has gained new Roadway now that
it has acquired the snews of war. Shops
have been built in which to construct

Of July. Side tracks are being gra led
into the yard into which the shops are
located, and tracks connecting the line
with that of the Central Pacific Company

The Central Pacific has granted the
right TO the California and Nevada for a

UNCLE BILLY o. K.-Mr. Murphy and
an engineer named Thompson, arrived in
Bodie on the llth, from Calico District,
and the Free Press says they do not give
as aattering accounts of the prospects at
Calico as Others they have heard, but say
| that most Of the deposits which were sup.
pc ed to be ledSes have proved to be
mere ''biankets" and have no depth. but
can be easily quarried and the ore is
| profitable TO mill. The most noted claim
in the district are the King, Garfield and
Burning Moscow. The Garfield, owned
by Billy Raymond, Of the once famous
Raymond Il Ely, has been sunk Oh to a
depth OF 450 feet, and show, strong indi
cations of proving valuable property.
Raymond is making his Prospecting pay
by shipping his tirst.class ore TO tn.
smelters at the Bay and working his sec.
ond grade at Daggett's mill at Hawley's
Station, on the Mojave river, eight miles
from Calico In East and West Calico
about 800 men are working on leases and
chloriding Oh tribute.
Or INTEREST TO MINERS. the mat
ter of an application to a mining claim III
Sacramento, California, Secretary Teller
has decided that when mineral appli
cant enters claim pursuant to the legal
requirement, such claim thereupon ceases
to be part Of the public domain, and is &C
longer subject to the operation of the
laws governing the disposition of publ,
| lands; that III such case there is part per.
Torrance of the contract ON sale, which
entities the entry man to specific per
Torrance of the whole contract without
further attraction on his part; that the
right to patent once vested is equiva
lent to a patent issued, and that the
proposition that the owner of continuous
locations, who seek patent, must pre-
sent separate applications for each and
obtain separate survey and prove tina;
upon each the required work had beer
performed, is wholly untenable.
