Work done outside the limit of a
mining claim, with intent to hold it,
must have direct relation and be in
reasonable proximity to it. Roads,
trails and other necessary work may
be included in the estimate of the re-
quired yearly expenditure. A good
deal of this kind OF work has been
done in Homer district during the
past year.
Work done outside claim for the
purpose of prospecting or developing
it, is as available for holding the claim
as if done within the boundaries of the
claim itself.
Where one person or company owns
several contiguous claims, capable of
being worked together, one general
system may be adopted to work such
claims; and work done according to
such system for the purpose. of pros.
pecting or working all such contigu-
Gus claims, although done on only one
of such claims, or even outside of all
of them, is available to hold all such
contiguous claims intended to be
worked or prospected by such general
system.

amusing incidents in our town caused
by this heedlessness. One gentleman
walked out of popular restaurant
with a snowy napkin hanging to his

Proud of your rev embroidered

The napkin was returned to its owner.
Another young gentleman filled his
pockets with Christmas gifts for his

he would first change his stockings

Although Hawthorne was laid out
nearly three years ago, the town may
be said to be only a year old. Until
last January the town was little more
than hamlet. Since the first day of
last January nearly all the growth has
taken place, and in the year one of the
best and most substantial towns in
western Nevada has sprung from the
sand and grease-wood. New Years
day may be called the birthday of
Hawthorne, and the citizens have
every reason for putting zest into this
celebration.

In addition to the Usual hanging of
stockings CD Christmas Eve, there
were, around town, several very enjoy
able Christmas trees. The public tree
under the auspices of the X. of p.
Lodge, provided gifts for all the
children who attended. After the
tree was removed from the hall,
dancing was INDUCED in until the
Christmas cocks crew. Beside this
public tree, there were numerous
private trees. Most conspicuous for
size and generosity CT presents were
those at the residences of r. j. Laws
and L. w, Clark and j. II. Harcourt.
The trees were beautifully decorated
with candles, pop corn in Swiss
stockings and cornucopi@ full of nuts
and candies. There were balls, dogs,
horses, books, tables, doll carriages, in
fact, everything to delight the young
folks, and handsome, useful gifts for
the older ones. Before the distribu.
ton of presents the children recited
appropriate selections. AT Mr. Laws

A Weather Item.

The weather here is at present ex-
cessively Summerlike; the days, while

Immediate neighborhood is a pleasant
place to vote in, and it is the general
opinion that more healthy one does
not exist, But while reveling in the
wealthy bliss of Italian sunsets and
Slcilian nights, interspersed with
Sacramento River star scenery, the
memory of the inhabitant leaps the
monumental peaks in the southwest
and he thinks of those bad men in
Bodie, who, last week, paid four bits
apiece for having the snow shoveled
away from their doors, so they could
get their regular cocktail, and he thanks
the eternal fitness of things that it Is not
so with us-for we would not get the
drink. Probably the righteousness of
our town and the subscribers OF the
BULLETIN has something to do with
1t, while, in their case, "the prayers
OF the wicked availeth nothing"

Though few, may fewer grow.

This birth Of an infant year,
And we know not whether to smile,
Tor whether to drop tear,
But here the bells are ringing,
And laugh our fears to scorn,
And we will be up and doing

Hung by a Newspaper.

d. J. Lewis tells the following story
of the early days of the Sierra County
bar; While Bob Taylor was District
Judge man was tried for murder and
sentenced to be hung, The ease was
appealed to the Supreme Court and
the lower Court was sustained, The
Sheriff, thoroughly conscientious
and well.meaning officer, knowing that
the case was before the Supreme Court,
waited to learn the decision before
carrying the sentence into execution.
The decision was published as soon as
rendered and the papers sent to the
lower Court, which was not then in
session. When the Sheriff saw the
decision In the newspapers he supposed
that all was settled and that his duty
was plain, Accordingly he went to
the prisoner and said:
VI have bad news for you"
"What is it?"
81 have the decision of the Supreme
Court, and must hang yon RICH;
away"
The prisoner begged for an hour for
prayers and letter writing, which was
reluctantly granted, after which he
was taken out and hanged in due form,
but not according to law. Some time
afterward, when Court convened,
nothing was said about the summary
execution, as there was no known pro.
| cess of the Court which could bring
the man back to life. The Judge and
District Attorney kept quiet, as they
had not made up their minds what to
do. AT last, when the calender was
cleared and everything was finished,
the Judge asked II any cfthe attorneys
had any more business to bring before
the Court. None being offered, he
repeated the question to the District
Attorney. Something had to be done
to make the record clear. The District
Attorney, at the hint from the Court,
said the papers in the case had been
returned from the Supreme Court, and
was proceeding to make some motion
| when the Sheriff arose and interrupted
him. He was very tall man, over six
feet, and Strengthening himself up he
said:
"Your Honor, may it please the
| Court, | hung the prisoner nigh onto
three weeks ago."
"Sit down." said Bob Taylor
sternly.
"Well. but your Honor, here is the
decision in the paper, and l supposed
it was all right"
"Sit down" thandered the Judge.
He did not wish the good man to ac-
cuse himself of murder in open Court.
The Sheriff became quiet, and the
rest of the business was transacted as
though everything was regular. Out
of regard for the worthy man, the
matter was kept quiet but it is prob.
ably the only case on record of man
having been hung by newspaper.
