SILVER PEAK.

Ed. BuLLrrlN-Its "all quiet on
the Rappahanneck, the war clouds
have rolled away aud peace has been
declared without the consent of the
European powers. The gentlemen
who were here exporting the Blair
property have finished their work
and am satisfied the property will
be taken by them. If it is, there
will be large amount of money ex-
pended this year by them and the
county greatly benefited
visited the Mary tunnel yester-
day and it looks fine. The drifts are
being extended and the upraise is
twenty-five feet above the tunnel
level. The ledge carries six feet of
first class ore. There is room now
for more men and stopping will begin
In day or two. The dump is full
OF ore, and there is lot more in the
mine. Hauling will begin about the
10Th and | think the mill will be run
steadily from that time on. There is
long run for it on outside ore if
Chiatovich can spare time to crush it.
Joe Lang is still taking out ore.
The Valcalda Bros are working
their rock at their little mill and do.
ing well.
Louis Leidy's mine is improving as
he gets deeper on the ledge and the
ore is high grade.
At Aida, Volmer has nearly COM
pleted repairs on his mill and will
start up shortly.
At Gold Mountain they have found
a good streak of very rich rock in
the old Oriental which will help to
raise the gold output OF Esmeralda.
The people are looking for the
BULLETIN now, to hear the news and
l don't see why more of them don't
take the paper Printers ink costs
money and if an Editor tries to run a
paper on atmosphere, he is apt to
get wind foundered. What gets me
is the cheek of some people who
want you to publish facts in regard
to their property and then borrow a
paper to see if the report is satisfae-
tory, and the same men are as hard
to get an item out of, as it is to pull
cork from beer bottle. 1t seems
to me that wooden headed people of
that kind are increasing, or we have
more than our share in this county,
bad luck to them.
The Examiner announces the ar
rival of one ]. c. Hilton, late Jackass
Of the Peace and Lord High Sheriff
of Somewhere, on tour of the world.
I wonder how Bill ingalls, and the
late Charley Howard will eyer make
a tour of that kind, when there is so
much water between the patches Of
land, without getting seasick. An
Oregonian might make it as they are
webfooted, but men from dry coun-
try like this are helpless.

Our New Mining Law.

| Wi INSW MiutuS Law.
Under the provisions of our new
mining law, locators are given ninety
days in which to perfect their loca-
lions, subject to the following re-
quirements: The diseoyerer of any
vein or lode shall Immediately upon
making discovery put up at the
point of discovery a monument of
rocks, and post preliminary notice
upon it setting forth, first--The name
OF the claim. Second-the name of
the locators. Third-the date of dis
covery. Fourth-the number OF feet
in length and the number of feet on
each side the center Of the ledge. 5
the general course of the ledge a.
near as may be-
Within 80 days after the posting OF
such notice, the locator must sink =
discovery shaft to depth of at least
ton feet from the lowest part OF the
rim of such shaft at the surface, or
deeper if necessary to show ledge
OF mineral in place. A cut, cr0sscut
or tunnel which cuts the ledge at q
depth of ten feet, or an open cut of
at least ten feet in length along the
lode is equivalent to , discovery
shaft The boundaries must be de-
fined by marking a tree or rock in
place, or by setting post or stone
at the center aud each corner of the
claim. When post is used it must
be at least four inches square, by
four feet six inches in length, set one
foot in the ground, with mound of
stone or earth four feet in diameter
by two feet in hight around the post
Wheu it is impossible on account of
bed rock or rough ground to sink the
posts they may be placed in piles of
stone, and if it is dangerous to place
the posts or monuments in the prop
er places they may be placed at the
nearest safe point, properly marked.
When a stone is used instead of rock
in place, it must be 6x6 and Is inches
long, set two-thirds of its length in
the ground.
Within 80 days the after locating
the locator shall record his claim with
the mining district recorder and the
county recorder, by a certificate con-
tanning: /. The name Of the claim.
2. The name of the locators. Sd.
The date of the location and such de-
scription with reference to natural
objects as will identify the claim. 4.
The number of feet in length each
way from the location point, and the
width on each side OF the center OF
the vein, and the general course OF
the ledge. 5. The size and place OF
the discovery work. s. The place and
description OF each corner, with the
marks thereon. All these tnlngs
must be set forth in the second no
tice and the notice must be recorded.
This law does not affect claims locat'
ed prior to March l6, 1897 In case
OF the relocation OF Abandoned mines
the locator must comply with this
law. This law will prevent the in
discriminate holding of large tracts
of mining ground by people who will
net develop it, but it will prove a
hardship to the poor prospector, on
account of its complicated require
ments and the expense incident to its
correct observance. We believe its
bad points outweigh the good ones
but the Legislature says it is the law
and we've got to stand it.
