A New Law.

There are doubtless great many
people In Colorado and other public
land states, says u Washington special
to the Denver Times, who will be inter
ested in knowing that congress at its
last session made provision for the ac-
quirement Of Isolated tracts Of land by
sale rather than through the homestead
and desertland entry system. The new
law is as follows:
'It shall be lawful for the commits
sioner of the general land Office to order
into market and sell for not less than
one dollar and twenty-five cents per
acre any isolated or disconnected tract
or parcel of the public domain less than
one-quarter section which in his judg-
mcnt 1t would be proper to expose TO
sale after Mt least thirty days notice by
the land officers Of the district In which
such lands may be situated; Provided,
That lands shall not become 80 isolated
or disconnected until the same have
been subject TO homestead entry FOR a
period Of three years after the surround
ing land has been entered, 6led upon, or
sold by the government; Provided, Ihat
not more than one hundred and sixty
acres shall be sold TO any one person"
The Meeker herald. [volume] (Meeker, Colo.) 1885-current, 1895-05-25
Keep Away.

All reliable advices from Fourmile
confirm early reports concerning extent
of territory and richness of ground, and
also emphasize the fact that it will take
lots of money TO open up the country
and extract the yellow metal from
mother earth; but a large number of
the people rushing in there now will
come away disappointed and give the
new Eldorado "black eye" as sequel
to their disappointment.
Fourmiie is not poor mans camp.
Before the gold can be got at expensive
bitches must be built, and, as stated
above, it will take capital to put these
enterprises through. AS yet the moneyed
men and others interested in the camp
are chiefly engaged in getting hold of
choice locations and perfecting water
rights. The work of taking out the
yellow metal is yet in its infancy, and
will probably not emerge from that
state this season. Until active mining
operations are started the field for en-
ployment is limited. or course the
building of bitches will give employ
ment to good many men, but work in
that line is only initiatory so far.
Therefore, we advise all men seeking
work to keep away from Fourmile for
the present. The camp is all right and
in time will be one of the best in the
state, but in the presentstate Of develop
ment it presents very poor field for the
Innlyi,cr
than two men for every available job.
