The New Aa.n.ng Law.


The act of the Legislature rela-
ting to the location, relocation, man
ner Of recording lode and placer
claims, millsites, tunnel rights and
the amount of work necessary to
hold possession Of mining claims,
approved March. Is, 1897, receives
general commentator from the
press. The Mining and Scientific
Press says that with the exception
Of one sentence it is an exact copy
Of bill published in it's columns
lust October for the consideration Of
tile California Miners Convention
and the Stale Legislature.
The Press says it is better than
the California law. 1t specially de-
fines the number and size of the
posts that shall be set up to mark
the boundaries. It provides that Il
certain amount Of the work shall be-
done within ninety days after the
posting of the location. The loca-
t ,r or locators must within that
Ii ne sink shaft to depth of al
| :; g. ten feet, but II cut or crosscut
nr tunnel, which cuts the lode TO a
depth of ten feet, is equivalent to
II discovery shaft.
The relocation of abandoned lode
claims shall he by sinking a new
discovery shaft and fixing new
boundaries as if it were the location
of new claim or the relocator may
sink the original discovery shaft
ten feet deeper than it was at the
time of ablndoment, in which case
the record must give the depth and
dimensions Of the original discov-
cry shaft mt the date Of such relo-
cation. The relocator mnst erect
new or adopt the old boundaries,
renewing the posts, or monuments
If removed or destroyed.
The Act provides that the annual
expenditure on each claim of 1900
feet or less shall he 800, the same
as is required by the laws of the
United States. Tn estimating the
worth of labor required to he per-
formed upon any mining claim, to
hold the same under the laws of
the United States. the value of a
days labor of eight hours is fixed
at the sum of four dollars.
The Act is based upon the best
practices Of other States and Terri
tories, which have received the APP
prevail of practical miners. 1t viii
doubtless result benefic;ally to Ne
vada as the prospecting of aban-
doned mines to depth Of ten feet
below the old shaft or tunnel may
develop rich ore in many of them
and sinking new shaft at least ten
feet on a new discovery may dis
close bonanzas

ONCE A STATE ALWAYS A
STATE.

y
the above caption, comes 10 the de-
fense of Nevada and severely re-
Dukes the Eastern press for its ad-
vocacy of relegating Nevada into u
Territorial form of government.
After commenting on the ridiculous
ideas advanced, it goes on and re-
views the constitutional provisions
for granting the right of Statehood
and asserts that there is no peace
FIJI method under the law through
which II State can be legislated out
of the Union or deprived Of any If
its sovereign rights. The following
is the conclusion of the article:
1T is enough for the people of a
sister State to battle year after year
with disheartening conditions, and
i'll scant and diminishing numbers
take upon their shoulders the heavy
burdens of a government designed
for hundred times their aggregate.
without being ridicuLed for their
poverty, sa,irized for their indepen-
dence, denounced for their courage
and threatened with the revocation
of their sovereignity. 1t is taunts
like these that are occasionally aim
ed at the people of Nevada from be-
yond the Rockies. They are unjust
as they are ungenerous. Because
her votes were required in Congress,
Nevada was invited into the Union
in 1864, when her people were too
few to entille her, according to gen
eral apportionment, to a representa-
tive IN the lower house. The loyalty
of her people was boundless. In no
empty phrase they pledged to the
support Of the government "the
wealth of their hills, the strength OF
their arms and the loyalty of their.
hearts" They gave to the Sani-
tary Fnnd until their contributions
drew plaudits from the East, and
the hundreds Of millions timely
wrenched from the mines by their
brawney arms assisted largely in
maintaining the credit of the Gov
ernment. Whether she has $4,000
or 100000 people now, Nevada has
earned her right to Statehood, and
he few brave people who are hold
ing up her hands are entitled to
something more cheering than
words of rpproach.
"And now let il be said that Ne
vada is in no danger of passing
back TO Territorial condition. Her
resources are vast, and of her future
there can be no doubt Her mineral
fields are almost limitless in extent,
and her agricultural and grazing
lands are measured by the millions
Of acres. She is comparatively free
from debt, and her expenses of gov
ernment have been reduced to ac-
cord with her diminished revenues.
Her School Fund, with millions of
acres Of land yet in reserve to swell
it, is probably larger in proportion
to the number of her people than
that of any other State in the
Union, and her schools, churches
and public charities are sustained
with q liberality characteristic OF a
people who have not learned the
value of a nickel. 1t is a mistake
to imagine that the hopes OF the
State are sepulchered in the ex-
hausted levels of the Comstock.
There is mineral wealth III every
mountain. in Nevada, and a market
for the products of the farm is all
that is required to fill the valleys Of
the State with reapers and clothe
the neglected plains in green. Not
FAR in the future Nevada may be

people will find no difficulty in

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years / have been a
sufferer from scrofulous affection OF
the glands OF my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. Cp
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re
fnoval OF the gland. AT this critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.Sp
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
lie the enlargement began to disappear
and now IL is entirely gone, though l lam
not through with my second bottle yet
Had only used your S.S.S. long ago,
/ would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $I5o."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S,S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; il gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently. ,>

Assuming that the world contains l.
400 100000 inhabitants, a statistician
estimates that their brains weigh 1,922,-
712 tons. This averages about 40 ounces
per head. Psychologists give the aver
age weight of an adult male brain as
As ounces, and in female 43 ounces.
At birth it is said to be IA and ~ ounces
respectively. But something must be
deducted from the above estimate. A
child's brain at the age of seven years
average 40 ounces. Beyond the age
of 40 the weight steadily declines at the
rate of about one-quarter in ten years.
The brains of idiots are much below,
the average, some weighing less than 16
ounces. The calculations of German
biologist show that each human brain
contains 3oO,Oo0,Oo0 nerve cells, 5,O00,-
600 of which die and are succeeded by
new ones each day. Hence there should
be about 576,713, 600. oOO, 900 brain cells
in the world.
