Ho, for the Peak!

At last it looks as If something
was to be done at Silver Peak. Prof
Maynard, who recently made thor
ough examination of the Blair mines
in conjunction with George D. Rob
ertS, the noted expert, arrived Sun
day with six experienced miners of
Virginia City. They are Dave Gin
nevan, Alex. Crane, 7. L. Mccarthy,
Tom Chegwidden, John Spargo aud
Tom Gallagher, and better crew
could not have been selected. We
are informed that Professor MAYNARD
will proceed at once to put the mines
in order-clear out the various drifts,
tunnels, etc, put in good ladders and
timbers, and get things in shape for
an honest working test of this great
property. Nobody who knows the
mines fears the result, and it is for
tunate for our county that the work
is to done ueder the direction of Mr..
Maynard, who has had years of ex-
perence in all kinds of mines and
under all kinds of conditions.
1t will take several months to fin
ish this preliminary work, but we
predict that in less than one years
time the scream of the locomotives
whistle and the rattle of hundred
stamps will proclaim to the world
that the mines of Silver Peak are all
that is now claimed for them.

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 as
near as may be.
Within 80 days after the posting of
such notice, the locator must sink y
discovery shaft to depth of at least
ten 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, crosscut
or tunnel which cuts the ledge at a
depth of ten feet, or an open cut of
at least ten feet in length along the
lode is equivalent to q discovery
shaft. The boundaries must be de-
fined by marking tree or rock in
place, or by setting a post or stone
at the center and 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 exc and Is inches
long, set two-thirds of it's 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 certificate con-
tanning: l. 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. i.
The number of feet in length each
way from the location point, and the
width on each side of the center of

the ledge. 81 The size and place of

description of each corner, with the
marks thereon. All these things
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 16, 1897 In case
of the relocation of Abandoned mines
the locator must comply with this

discriminate holding of large tracts
of mining ground by people who will
not 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 it's
bad points outweigh the good ones,
but the Legislature says it is the law
and we've got to stand it.

Training Husbands After Marriage.

Training Husbands After Marriage.
1t really is asking too much of a
woman to expect her to bring up hus-
band, and her children, too. She yainly
imagines when she marries this piece
of perfection, with whom she is so
blindly in love, that he is already
trained, or rather, that he is the one
human being in the world who has been
perfect from infancy, and who never
needed training. She knows that
mothers have to put in 20 years Of close
study and hard work before they can
turn out man or woman who won't
be social pest, She never dreams of
the curious fact that mothers alwavs
train their daughters to make good
wives, yet never think of training II
boy to make a good husband.-Wom-
