MIR. Sam Corwin, or Uncle Sam, as
he was called. DEPARTED this life FRI
day, March 22nd. He WAS sirty-three
years old. He had suffered untold
agony from that terrible disease, con-

death took him for their own. The
funeral WAS conducted by Rev. Geo.

and the remains laid to rest in the
Philbrook cemetery. He leaves two

years ago. Deceased also has an aged

many friends since coming to Mon

rest in peace.

was helped by the county in a similar
way. The last two were treated in
town. Frank O'Donnell had been in
the hospital nearly four months with
an ununited fracture OF the leg, was
treated by DIR. Lindsey and discharged
in six weeks. Another man with dead
bone in the leg, was cured by removing
diseased bone and inserting beef bone
in place. and discharged in about two
months well enough to go herding
sheep.
As some one has presented the drug
proposition in fair manner in your
issue OF the 2lst inst. I will not repeat
what has already been said. Would
add that Mr.. Stephens bid of 1896
was for jail and hospital only.
Now, Mr.. Editor, will submit to
the taxpayers, which is the best bssi-

unfortunate cripples so they cen earn

Commissioner Goodell Replies.

EDITOR Argus: As the commission
ers have been severely criticised in
their awards OF certain contracts, and
an explanation called for, which is
due the public, ! will briefly give the
other side.
We are but poor, human mortals
and liable to make mistakes, but / do
not think we did in this case. As DIR.
Long does not live in this county we
could not consider his bid. The other
cheap bidders we did not consider
competent to handle the difficult surgi
cal operations continually coming on
the county, and to hire another physi-
clan to take such cases would soon
amount to the difference i'm the bids.
Will cite few cases:
One year ago last January Mr.. Amos
and family, consisting of wife and
five small children, were at the hospi-
tai, costing the county seven dollars
per day. He was in bed with an in
jured back, hurt the previous haying
season, and had to be turned in bed.
Drs. Monahan and Lindsey put him
on his feet so he can walk with a cane,
but have to put a new cast on him
every month. The doctors are doing
this free but the county has to pay for
the material used, his expenses Mt the
hotel and st ables while in town and
allow the family thirty dollars per
month. The doctors claimed that by
a capital operation, there WAS rea-
sonable chance OF cure, so that he
can do sOmeting to make n living for
his family. They asked $500 to per-
form this operation as II separate job,
but include il in their contract, also
to furnish expert testimony in case an
autopsy is required, which cost us
$3.50 last last year. VIM. II. Kicks,
who had diseased knee bone, was
treated by Drs. Monahan and Lind
sey, the county paying for medicines,
etc, and allowing him SO per month
through the winter to help support
the family. He is now making his liv-
ing, but had he not had the hest oi
treatment would be on the county to-
day. Mrs. VIM. Harvey, who was
treated for obstruction OF the gall
duct and discharged in seven weeks

NEW MINING LAWS.
The Provisions Of the Code Considerably
Change Methods OF Procedure in
Locating Claims.


Following are the provisions OF the
code which effect our mining interests.
They take effect July lst, next:
Section 1910. Any person n citizen
of the United States, or one who has
declared his intention to become such,
who discovers vein or lode bearing
gold, silver, cinnabar, lead, tin, copper
or other valuable deposits, or who
discovers or locates a placer deposit
OF gold or other deposits of minerals,
including building stone, limestone.
marble, clay, sand or other mineral
substances having a commercial value,
may locate a claim upon such vein,
lode or deposit by defining the bound
aries OF the claim in the manner here
matter described, and by discovery,
which notice must contain:
/. The name of the lode or claim.
2. The name of the locator or
locators.
3. The date of the location.
4. Ii a lode claim, the number of
lineal feet claimed in lenth along the
course of the vein each way from the
point OF discovery, with the width on
each side OF the center of the vein, and
the general course of the vein or lode
as near as may be.
5. fla placer or mill site claim, the
number OF acres or superficial feet
claimed.
Sec. 2371. Before the, expiration
of ninety days from the-date of post

(mill site claims exceptedl to the depth
OF at least 10 feet from the lowest
part OF the rim OF such shaft at the
surface, or deeper if necessary to
show a well defined crevice or valuable
deposits. Its equivalent in work
must be done npon placer claims. A
cut, or crosscut or n tunnel which
cuts lode at the depth OF ten feet
below the surface, or an open cut OF
at least ten feet in length along the
lode from the point where the lode
may be in any manner discovered,
is equivalent to n discovery shaft.
The locator or locators must define
the boundaries OF his or their claim
by making n tree or rock in place, or
by setting n post or stone at each
cornor or angle of the claim. When "A
post is used it must be at least four
inches square by four feet six inches
IN length, set one foot i'm the ground.
with a mound OF earth or stone fonr
feet in diameter by two feet in height
around the post. When a stone is
used, not a rock in place. it must be
at least six inches square and eighteen
inches in length in the ground, which
trees, stakes or monuments must be
SO marked as to designate thecorners.
Sec. 2372. Within ninety days OF
the date OF posting the location notice
npon the claim, there must be filed in

situated a declaratory statement,

description OF the Iocat:on of said
claim with reference to some natural
object or permanent monument as
will identity the claim.
4. Ii a lode claim, the number ot
lineal feet claimed ia length along the
course OF the vein each way from the
point OF discovery, with the width on
each side of the center OF the vein, a M
the general course of the lode or vein
as near as may be.
D. II n placer or mill site claim, the
number of acres or superficial feet
claimed.
g. The dimensions and location of
the discovery shaft, or it's equi valent,
sunk upon lode or placer claims.
z. The location and description of
each corner, with the markings thereon.
Such declaratory statement must he
verified by the oath OF the locator, or
one OF the lOcatOrs, and in case OF q
corporation by an officer thereof. duly
authorized to act.
Sec. 2373. All placer mining loca-
tions or locations of valuable mineral
deposits, which have heretofore been
recorded in the Office of the county
clerk or recorder, have the same force
and effect as though such records had
been authorized by law. except in
cases where the rights of third per-
sons had been acquired before the
passage of this code; and such record
is entitled to be admitted i'm evidence
IN any court.
Sec. 2374. The owner of a lode or
placer claim who performs or causes
to be performed the annual work or
makes the improvements required by
the laws of the United States in order
to prevent the forfeiture of the claim,
may, within 20 days after the annual
work, file in the office of the county
clerk of the county in which such
claim is situated, an affidavit OF his
own, or an affidavit of the person who
performed such work or made the i'm
provements, showing:
L. The name of the mining claim
and where situated.
2. The number of days work done,
and the character and value of the
improvements placed thereon.
3. The date OF performing such
| nd af lsvn ha
ments.
4. At whose inst ance the work was
done or the improvements made.
3. The actual amount paid when
the same was not done by the owner.
Such afiidavits, or certified copy
thereof, Is prima facie evidence OF the
facts therein stated.
See. 2375. The relocation of an
abandoned lode or placer claim must
he made by sinking a new discovery
shaft and fixing new boundaries In
the same manner as II it were an
original location made under this
chapter; or the rslocator may sink the
original shaft ten feet deeper, in which
case the declaratory statement must
give the depth and dimensions oil the
original discovery shalt at the date OF
such relocation. In any case, whet her
whole or part OF An abandoned claim
is taken, the declaratory statement
may state that the whole or any part
of the new lacation is located az aban-
doned property. Ii it is not known
to the locator that his location is AN
abandoned claim, then the provisions
