Lander We. Humboldt.

This is case growing out of Lam
der claiming damages against Hum
boldt county on account of a pauper.
AS such claims are frequent and
sometimes very perplexing between
one county and another, the decision
of Judge Talbot, rendered In Elko
last week, no doubt defines the re
sponsibility OF one county to another
Tor keeping OF pau pers. IN this case
the Court finds:
That Otto Nicholson was a resident
OF Humboldt county. Second: That
he was not pauper IN the sense OF the
statute. Third: That the letter of J.
A. Blossom, dated April 3, 1890, to
the Humboldt Board OF Commission
ers was not legal notice and of no
validity. That the notice from the
Clerk OF Lander was In due and le-
gal form, but was not given TO the
Humboldt Board until after Michal-
son was dead and buried, was not
given In the time required by the
statute, and hence was of no legal
value. Filth: That there is nc legal
evidence that The Board of Lander
county had ever allowed the claims
OF DIR. Hood and others for services
rendered in attending on Nicholson.
Sixth: That The Auditor of Lander
county bad not approved any such
claims. That under the decision Of
our Supreme Court 1t Is necessary for
the Auditor 10 approve the claims as
well as for the Board OF Lander to
allow them before Lander could
maintain a suit even IL 1t other wise
had cause Of action against Hum
boldt. Seventh: That The Board OF
Lander had not authorized suit to be
brought on any claim except DIR.
Hoods. In short, the Court holds
that Lander's County Comm issioners
did nothing to legally bind Hum
boldt.
Judgment was ordered TO be entered
for defendant for costs.

Rich and Curious Specimen.

The Salt Lake Exchange says: A
miner named Lawrence brought to
Salt Lake one of the most curious
specimens of mineral that has ever
been seen anywhere. 1t is a conglom.
crate mass of volcanic matter, both
mineral and vegetable, the latter so
petrifed and hardened by the fires of
nature as to be scarcely discernable
from the mineral. In the curious
specimen is the clearly defined body
of snake. Its head is perfect and
its long body can be traced through
the mass of mineral and vegetable
matter. The curious specimen was
found on Bear river, about 80 miles
from Malad City, Idaho, by Mr.. Law
renee and a sheep-herder, who were
mining in that locality. 1t is very
rich in silver.

CHERRY CREEK AND THE RAIL

What One OF the Oldest Settlers OF
That Camp Has 80 Say AbOat IL.


GREAT FALLS (Mont.),
Feb. @, 1892.
ED. JOURNAL: Enclosed please find
81 subscription for three months, as [
am temporarily residing here, my
home being Cherry Creek, New, where
expect to be before my subscription
runs out.
am very much interested in your
efforts to call attention to the Deep
Greek country, but you fail to notice
Cherry Creek across the line in Me-
vada some 65 miles on the surveyed
line of the ID. 81 Il. Western Railroad,
a camp that has been partially proven.
Some two or three millions have been
taken out and the mines shut down
through no fault of the mines. re-
gret YOU have no correspondent there
However, the mine owners are pa.
tiently waiting The advent of the rail-
road, and when it comes the output
will astonish Salt Lakers who will
benefit of course, although they do
not deserve it.
1t is no disparagement to other
camps you often refer to. to say that
80 far as developments have gone
Cherry Creek is ahead of them all.
- You are working heroically
to call attention to the merits of that
vast mineral section on the line of the
railroad and the time will come when
your comments will be demonstrated .
Mr.. George Goss, the superintendent
of construction of the ID. & X. G.. w.
r.. r., once told me he had very care
fully studied the whole country and
Cherry Creek was the central Of The
best mineral district he knew Of.
Waiting the favor of your reply and
receipt of the Journal, am, yours
truly, John WEARNE.
In the above Mr.. Wearne has only
blazed a spec on the real merits of the
mineral wealth of Cherry Creek,
though no man that we know of is
better capable both from experience
and knowledge af doing justice in Il
"write up" of that camp than be is
With a railroad through to Cherry
Creek, her two great mineral belts

more bullion than all the camps be-
tween there aud Tintic. She hai
