Murderer Bolton at Large.

Nothing definite has been heard of Dr. Bolton since his escape from the jail at Juarez, Mexico. It will be re- membered by Enterprise readers that Bolton and Clayton. well known in this county and city, murdered their part her in Juarez some five months ago. On account of Bottoms friendship with the governor of Chihuahua, and other friends in high official position in that State, stay of proceedings was had, and their trial put off. Bolton, through the liberal use of gold with the mayor succeeded in making his escape. Clay ton refused to accompany him, and is yet in prison. Since Bottoms escape, the mayor, who is also the judge, has been removed from office by orders from the president of Mexico. Bottoms vast estates in Chihuahua, including land grants and personal property has been confscated by the government, while brother of the murdered man is on his trail, and it is stated that if caught he would not go to the trouble of bringing him back to Mexico. The morning after Bolton made his escape he published long letter in the Fl Paso Times stating that he eould not get speedy trial, therefore concluded to leave but would return after his health had somewhat improved and stand trial. In his letter he claimed that he did not make the attack on his partner. Silver City Enterprise.

The Apex Law and Sue square Location.

Next to the determination and set tlement of land titles, the ownership of mining claims has been in California the most fruitful source of litigation, the greater portion of this litigation having grown out of the question of side lines or the equivalent. So gen erally has this been the case that n very radical change in the statute gov erning in this respect would seem to be demanded. Under the law as it now stands the claim owner may follow and work any lode having its apex or crop pings within his surface lines even though it extend in its downward course outside those lines. There has come to be developed strong public sentiment in favor of substituting for this law one providing for square lo- cations, and eonfning the rights cf claim ownerss within their surface boundaries.
 h other words, it is proposed to make our mining laws conform in this respect wit6 those of all other civilized nations. bringing them at the same time into harmony with our practice as regards placer, coal, stone, agricultural  and all other land claims, the owners of which have no right to go outside their surface lines Within these lines they may go downward without limit, but literally not | hairs breadth over them. With law like this the doubt and obscurity that now invests this species of property would diappear, and all would be rendered plain, fixed and certain. Instead of having re- course to legal proceedings, involving q necessity for lawyers, baliGs, courts and iuries to settle disputes about ore bodies, the services of an expert sur .veyor would suffice to determine ques- ton of this kind at little cost and in a very short time.
 It might be thought that law enact ed so many years ngo, and which has since been the subject of so much ad- iudieation, would by this time have become so well understood that its workings could give rise to but little controversy. But this is misappre- hension. If has been, as already re- marked, a prolific source of litigation. Scores of suits have grown out of it, and they continue to multiply year by year. The court calendars are crowd ed with them, and not always have the findings of the various courts been in harmony. The opinions of the several judges have sometimes been in conflict. leaving the law in such particular case unsettled and doubtful Even in the Supreme Court Of the United States, minority have at times dissented from the findings of their brothers on the bench. And So this very uncertain law has on occasions been rendered still more uncertain by the nets of it's ablest interpreters.
 If the judiciary, perplexed and in doubt, has called to its aid the learned geologist, the mining expert and others skilled in rock formations, vein sys- tems, slips, faults, dips spurs and an gles, these specialists have not infre- quently been found So divided in opin- ion that the judicial mind has, through these helps, been only the more bewil- dered where t sought for guidance, and tue judicial vision only the more ob-

Judge Gooding, Chief Justice of the Territory, handled the newly discov- cred laws with discretion, when the at- torneys in Prescott raised the question of the legality of the seventeen jurors. Judge Gooding ruled, that the men charged with crime, could not take ad- vantage of these so-called laws, after indictments had been found, and, that in his opinion, laws that had slumbered unpublished and unknown, were ques- tionable commodities at best.

OF Interest to Teachers.

Outside of Rockingham, Augusta has the
largest number of teachers at the Harri-
sonburg Normal, having IA present. AS a
result of the meeting of State Superinten-
dents of Schools, held at Bedford City last
week, it is proposed to ask legislation on
the following points:
First. That examinations of teachers be
made uniform, and that they be conducted by
the State Department, thus securing uniform
ity in the value of certificates held by teachers
all over the State.
Second. That under prescribed conditions
of qualifications and service, teachers shall be
elected to permanent tenures in office.
Third. That State aid be invoked to sup
plement the Peabody fund in multiplying
normal institutes.
Fourth That the laws be so amended as to
secure the prompt payment of teachers sala-
ries and to prevent their being subject to
heavy discounts. (This applies to the coun-
tieS.)
In addition to these features upon which
legislation is asked, means were discussed
and measures proposed looking to the build
ing up of higher appreciation, in public
sentiment of the value of education; to the
higher education of women, and to the in
PRODUCTION of manual training as distinct
feature in the public school system of the
State.

The Disputed Line Between Augusta and

N. Fries to their County Judge for appoint
ment as County Surveyor. Judge George
Grattan rejected the recommendation and
filed the following reasons
Gas is we'll known, a controversy is now
pending between the counties of Rockingham
and Augusta in regard to the true location OF
the dividing line between these counties from
North River to the top OF the Blue Ridge
mountain. Mr.. Jasper Hawse, the present
County Surveyor, has under the order OF this
Court made very careful survey OF that line,
and has expended much labor and skill in eX-
amining the records and locating old surveys
in order to establish the correctness OF the
line as located and reported by him; and the
Court deems it highly important that until
this matter of dispute is settled the county OF
Rockingham should retain the services of a
surveyor of such known skill and experience
as Mr.. Hawse, and should have the advantage
of the large amount of work done and infor-
nation possessed by him in regard to this
question of so much interest to the people of
the county,

did business. The property of every maj
in Staunton would be enhanced in value by
the erection of handsome hotel here. II
would keep class of people here all The
year around who would spend money with
our merchants. AS for its location, yot
could not put good hotel anywhere within
! a mile Of the courthouse that it would not
benefit the whole city Of Staunton. Mr..
Miller went on to speak Of the great fact0
ries that the Staunton Development Co.
had brought here and the new business and
new class of travellers they would bring
and urged the Importance of a hotel to
meet that want.
With regard to the railroad connection
with the Norfolk u Western, MI. Miller
said the belt line of the StauntOn Develop
ment Co. had been built with that in view
that it would save the building Of a
mile of the nine miles Of road needed, and
that on the Development Company's land
the Norfolk & Western would find ample
terminal facilities On the most liberal
terms.
MI. P. B. Sublett spoke on the import
ance of connection with the Norfolk q
Western for the interests of the Augusta
county farmers who had produce to send
South MI Sublett said the Augusta far
mers who raised $4,000 tons OF hay and
500 600 bushels of wheat, all of which they
had to ship, were greatly interested i'll this
new connection.

Ry. desirable terminal. facilities, it would

pany to come here.
