Why Rats 0naw Continually.

Have you any idea Why it is that
rats, mice and squirrels are contin-
ually gnawing at something? They
do not do this for ''pure devilment, "
as people generally imagine, but be-
cause they are forced to. Animals
of that class, especially the rats,
have teeth which continue to grow
al long as their owner lives. In the
human species the teeth are devel-
oped from pulps which absorb and
disappear 40 soon a. the second set

much-maligned rat the pulp supply
is perpetual, aud Is continually be-
creting materials b. which The in
eisors gain in length. This being the
case, tho poor creature ID. Obliged

is based on the events Of the past

that transpired up to that time.

in paying quantities, is no longer a
question, and that some means of
saving it will be devised is among
the probabilities. The Independent
has never been enthusiastic on the
subject of the Snake river placer
fields, but we must admit that the
movements of gentlemen, who have
never been accused of insanity, and
are not in the habit of throwing
their money away, have had ten
dency to brace up the belief that
there are good times in store for
this portion of Idaho, and that they
are not very remote.

LOCATION OF MINING CLAIMS.
A Deoision Affecting tho Marking Of
the Boundaries and Notice.

In the United States circuit court
Of Nevada, the following decision,
which will be found of interest to
miners, was recently handed down :
"The location of a vein or lode,
under the mining laws Of the United
States, is made by taking up piece
of land III the form of parallelo-
gram, not exceeding 1900 feet ia
length and 600 feet in width, 800
feet on each side at. the middle of
the vein at the surface. The loca-
ton must be distinctly marked on
the ground, SO that its boundaries
can be readily traced. The ques-
ton as to the sufficiency of the
marking of the boundaries depends
to some extent upon the character
and condition of the ground located.
Where the location is made upon q
comparatively barren hillside, the
posting of stakes at each of the four
corners of the location either by
driving the stakes into the ground
or building of stone monuments SO
as to keep the stake in place, is a
sufficient compliance with the pro-
visions of the law. When the loca-
ton is marked so that its bounda-
ries can be readily traced, the To-
Gators right of possession becomes
fully vested and cannot become d.
vested by the removal or oblitera-
ton of the stakes, monuments or
notice without the act or the fault
|of the locator, if he performs the
other acts required by the law.
1.-The mining laws of the United
States do not require any written
notice to be posted upon the loca-
ton when made, and in the absence
of any local rule or state law requir-
ing a notice to be posted, the loca-
ton, the boundaries of which are
properly marked upon the ground,
is valid without the posting of any
notice. Where the statutes of the
states, or local rules and regula-
tions of the miners, require notices
to be posted upon the ground at the
time of the location, the construc-
ton given to the notices should be
liberal, not technical. A mistake
in the notice as to the direction
and course, being 'northerly' in
stead of 'northeasterly,' does not
invalidate the location. Positive
exactness as to the course is not
required. The stakes and monu-
ments referred to in the notice, and
posted upon the ground, will con-
troll the direction stated in the no.
tice. When notice of location is
recorded, it must contain the name
or names of the locators, the date
of the location, and such descrip-
ton of the claim or claims located,
by reference to some natural object,
or permanent monument, as will
identify the claim. A reference to a
known mining claim is sufficient
compliance with the law requiring
reference to be made to some natu-
raj object or permanent monument.

WHsN a number of democrats and
populists have expressed their faith in
the republican county ticket, we fail
to see how any true republican can
fail to give his earnest support to every
nominee upon that ticket. The party
ticket has in the past been wofnlly
butchered, until good men were 10th
to be led out to slaughter. Now we
believe the discordant element has
been eliminated, and there is every
reason to believe that every republi-
can will support heartily and vote for
every man on the ticket. They are
all true republicans, men of ability,
sobriety and integrity, and "men
amo ng men," There will be little
scratching" this election; in fact,
we have yet to hear of single repub-
lican who will admit that he has even
a remote idea of scratching" his
ticket. When ticket of good men
and true is put into the field, fairly
and honestly by the great majority OF
the party, the true test of party fai tn
is voting that ticket straight. Unless
a candidate be personally unfit or in
competent, and the Republican tic ket
has none of that kind, there is no
justification for scratching.

con tradicting his statements. Our
people know that Mr.. Griggs has been
actively connected with the st. Paul
mills since they were started, five years
ago and lac has hardly overlooked any
thing pertaining to his prosperity
with several hundred thousand dollars
at stake. 1t developes that Paulson
was Il Republican while residing in
this state, but he is now operating
large camps and q mill in British
Columbia.
The kind of reply naturally ex-
pected by republicans from British
Columbia miller like Mr.. Paulson, is
to the effect that there is nothing to
be feared from the cheap labor in COM
peting with Canadians.
Touching this subject, Senator
Sergeant, of Buckley, said he had
taken pains to go to British Columbia
this fall personally to investigate the
conditions of labor there, and know
exactly what to expect as q result of
the reduction in the lumber tariff
"There were a dozen mill men of
Puget Sound with me-" said the sena-
tor. "We went to all the mills between
New Westminster and Victoria. In
every one of them we found the forces
to consist almost entirely of Chinese.
We enquired the prices, and found that
the ruling rate for the Cinnamon was
IS cents apiece day. A few received
higher wages, but not much higher
Then We made careful comparisons of
the rates in wages paid our men and
the Canadians for the same kind of
work. We found that showers in
British Columbia each received $125
day. On Puget Sound we pay shov-
ers $3.50 a day, and for the same num-
ber of hours. The off-bearers in Brit
ish Columbia get rs cents a day. We
pay off-bearers $175 day. The Chi
nese in British Columbia uniformly do
the running, edging, trimming and
piling. [ did not see one mill where
they were not engaged exclusively at
this. Even in Drum & Paulson's
mill, the Sagward, at Victoria, great
swarm of Chinese are employed. They
have an agent in California this very
day to establish an agency there.
"Besides having an advantage in
wages, the Canadian mill owners get
their stumpage for 10 cents a thous-
and. Here we pay settlers so cents
per thousand. There they may ship
III any kind of bottom. Here. we
are confined to American bottoms for
American ports. Considering these
facts, it is as plain as daylight that
the Canadians have a large advantage
over us. If they have not, why do Mr.
Paulson and Mr.. Drum not move their
mill to Washington and employ Amer
lean help? It seems to me it would be
much more patriotic for them to do
