Obituary.

In the gloom of autumn as we'll as
in the sunshine of spring we are
called on to chronicle the death of a
loved one all the same. On the
morning of the 9th inst, surrounded
by her husband and four of her grown
up children, Mrs. Maria +. Higgins,
wife of John " Higgins, closed her
eyes in death. Thus passes away a
noble woman, an exemplary, faithful
and loving wife, kind, affectionate
and good mother. Mrs. Higgins was
born in Shelbyville, Illinois, on the
23d of December, 1881. At the age
of six years her parents moved to
Kentucky, where, on the 18th OF
August, 1850, she was married to
John V. Higgins. In 1868 the fam
lily moved to Missouri; thence to Or
egon in 1876, where they resided
until two years ago, when Mr.. Hig-
gins purchased the Doud ranch or
Raft creek, five miles northwest Of
Mineral. The remains were inferred
in Eagle valley, Oregon, on the 10ti
inst. Thus, among host of sorrow
ing friends and relatives, the Chris
tian mother of eleven children wa'
laid to rest. COMMUNICATED.

The overwhelming majorities for
the candidates that propose to protect
the industries of the American poor
has brought about great change in
Mineral. Everyone seems to have
more confidence and work with more
animated will. This leaving in the
shade of their own mighty conceived
greatness those would-be destroyers
of American industries, is grand
thing, although it is only the COM
mencement. 1t is enough to show
that next falls elections will do more
in the same direction.
The Mutual smelter started up this
morning, the 18th, and will make a
run extending well into the winter.
The same force continues to work on
the mines.
A rancher from Mann creek came
to Mineral some time ago and con-
tracted to deliver a quantity of pota-
toes, but failed to come to time. If
the same rancher should come to
Mineral again it is safe to say he
would receive very good dressing.
He has prevented people from con-
tracing with parties that would be
punctual. MEMORABILIA.

Exemption Work on Claims

A correspondent from West Jordan
writes, asking if the bill has become a
law that was to make it unnecessary
this year for owners of mining prop
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1893-11-16

critics to do annual assessment work.
The answer is yes, but the provisions
of the bill do not protect foreign res
idents, and more, it make it obligatory
on mine owners to file notice of their
claims and statement that they de-
sire to hold them, and to file des-
cription of each claim with the Recor-
der of the district or with the county
Recorder, where there are no mining
district records. He asks further sif
this applies to thoes who had in part
their work done previous to the law
taking effect on mines owned by CO.
owners; that is, would the parties
have to pay for their portion of the
assessments that have been done by
their co-owners, who have expended
the full amount on the property pre-
vious to this law?' and adds: 81 ask
you this question because good many
have done the full amount of the as
sessment of 800, expecting their CO.
owners to do their proportion of the
improvements or pay for the same.
In his last question, the law to which
he refers has nothing to do. 1t would
simply be matter of, first, of justice
between coowners, and then if there
was disagreement the matter would
have to be tested in court. If, for
instance, six men own six mines and
they are. Co owners, and three of the
men perform their proportion of the
work and the others do not, the others
are exempt from work by the action
of the faw. Ofcourse common justice
would dictate that they pay their CO.
owners their pro rata of the costs, but
whether or nor they would be COM
PEELED to do it is legal proposition
on which we are unwilling to give an
opinion. A good many things would
enter into the case. For instance, if
six men owned six mines In common
and thre did their work and the other
thre did not, it is little difficult to
know just what the result would be
under the law, or what an outsider s
status would be if he were to relocate
one of those claims under the old con-
ditions on the 1st of January. But
the late law of Congress does not
change the status of owners at all OF
give them any rights at all, except il
releases them from work this year.
For work already done, every one
interested ought to bear his pro rata.
Whether or not he could be compelled
to under the law is something for the
lawyers and courts to decide. S. L.
Tribune.
The following is the form of the
required notice to be filed by miners
and others who wish to avail them
selves of the new law for the suspen
sion of assessment work on mining
claims by bona fide residents of tn,
