doubtless make it a regular practice of
their winter programme.

MAINE GOSSIP.

A little Milford girl had rather a
strange experience the other day. She
was riding on sled drawn by a large
dog which had been trained to harness,
when her novel stecd suddenly darted to
one side and passed under the horses of a
wood team, dragging the sled and little
girl with it, The horses were much
frightened and commenced to kick, one
of them striking the girl on the head and
rendering her unconscious. She was res
cued from her dangerous position, and 1t
is hoped that no serious results will come
from the experience.
The Bath Times justly urges upon the
young men of that city to have an active
interest and participation in the work Of
the local board of trade. This is good
advice, and il it were followed throughout
the State, the good results accomplished
by such organizations would be largely in
creased.
1t has been 25 years or more since a

ested in seafaring pursuits.

Placer Patants

A recent decision Of the L. s. Circuit
court, district of Montana, relating to
placer patents, will be of interest to our
local readers. The court held that:
"The fact that placer claim for
which patent has been issued included
at the time of its location part Of lode
claim, which had then not been for
feited, is matter which cannot be con-
sidered in a collateral attack upon the
placer patent, by one who has made a
subs equent vein location upon par. OF
the same land after the issuance Of the
placer patent. The prescriptions are
all in favor Of placer patent as against
lode claim located subsequent to its
issuance upon part of the same ground /;
and where the patentee files an adverse
claim against the application for patent
to the lode. and brings an action in sup.
port of such claim, the burden is upon
the lode claimant to overcome these
presumptions, and TO show by clear and
convincing proofs that the vein on
which the lode claim was located was a
known vein at the time of the applica-
tion for the placer patent. In order
that vein or lode included within the
limits Of a placer patent. shall be ex-
cluded from the operation Of the placer
patent, under the United States Statutes,
so as to be subject TO subsequent loca-
ton, such vein must have been known.
at the date Of the application for the
placer patent, TO exist and 10 contain
minerals in such quantity, and of such
value and quality, as to justify, under
the circumstances then existing expen-
ditures for the purpose Of extracting
them"
