began. The principle of law involved is
not new, but it is well for miners to
bear it in mind. Annual assessment
must be done, not to keep alive the title,
but to prevent it from lapsing. In this
instance it was, in the opinion of the
judgment of the court, a matter of in
difference whether the annual work for
the year in question was done or not.
the locator having asserted his rights
the following year before the other
party TO the location attempted to re-
locate. It no one else asserts a claim
to the property, a locator need not do
any work at all upon his claim He
may locate it today and do none of the
annual work for ten years. Still. if then
he should make the requisite $500 worth
of Improvements he would have a right
to patent, and his title would relate
back, to the date of his location, not
wlthStanding in the meantime he had
done no work at all. But the prospec-
tor should remember that in all such
cases the risk is on them. A claim
would be jumpable in the case sup
posed 1t remains alive only because
no one interferes with the rights of the
locator. In this connection it is impor-
tant to observe that the law requies
500 worth of work, and not 10 or 90
feet. In many Colorado districts it is
a custom to call ten feet sufficient COM
piance with the law concerning annual
labor. But the custom of a mining
district does not do away with the fed
eral law. Every Colorado locator who
does only ten feet of work, which is not,
as matter OF fact, worth 500, runs the
risk of having his claim jumped unless,
in the following year, he resumes labor
upon 1t before any jumper attempts to
take possession. Five dollars worth of
work or no work at all may suffice if
no one disputes the possession, but S99
worth will not suffice, if before the re-
Of labor the following year the
claim is jumped.

1t will also cut all the old locations on

drain them of water The tunnel will
be 12x7 feet in the clear, double track.

Regarding the enterprise of the TEN
pie Bar Mining company the Record OF
Phoebe, New, says:
The Temple Bar Mining company il
progressing nicely with its work al
Temple bar, on the Colorado river, 1:
miles above Rioville, in this county
and only failure of high water this
spring will be permitted to interfere
with a practical working test on the
value of the immense placer claims
which constitute the company's prop
erty there.
The work was begun year ago now
of placing booms in the river to catch
driftwood, this being the only means of
securing it. Before the boOms were in
place high water occurred from ex-
tenslve storms along the river above,
and the Improvements were destroyed
and the work delayed another season.
Work has been in progress for some
time now, and the boom is in place.
Three cribs are in the river, each load
ed with about l 100000 pounds of rock,
and driftwood is floating into an eddy
on the Arizona side, from whence it is
pulled ashore by donkey engine.
An inch and quarter steel cable has
been stretched across the river also, on
which 60-foot ferry boat is operated,
the river current furnishing the motive
power.
The company wants to land %, 600
cords of driftwood this spring If pos
sible In ordinary seasons ii is esti-
mated that fully half a million cords
flow down. If high water fails this
spring the work will be delayed again
for another year.
Four separate boilers, each of rs
horse power, have been erected on this
side of the river. A 30-inch suction
pump is now going in also, and with
good luck it is hoped to have the plant
in operation by July. The pump capac-
ity will be 1000 inches of water per
minute, under a 165-foot head, through
a one-foot aperture.
The company built new wagon road
from the White hills Arizona, to its
mines, and has an independent tele-
phone line in operation to Kingman.
which is the company's shipping point,
and to which its head offices have been
removed.
Other improvements are contemplat-
ed, all on the same magnificent scale as
those above mentioned, and, if success
full, next year will witness several
other plants of a similar nature in
operation in this county
At three other places, situated re-
spectively Y miles above and and %
miles below Temple bar. other good
placer claims are located, now owned
by parties who are able and willing to
put in improvements for extensive
working, should the Temple Bar COM
pany's operations prove successful
A NEW DISCOVERY
For some time past a party of six
prospectors have been working at a
point about II miles above Temple bar
and four miles below Scanlans Ferry.
They claim now to have found the
source of the Temple bar and other
placer ground below. Some exceedingly
rich quartz specimens have been found
and the party was at st. Thomas two
weeks ago loading with supplies with
which to prosecute work on their new
discoveries.
Gold exists in plenty on the Colorado,
and the deposits generally are most
easily worked from this side of the
river. 1t argues a long period of spros-
perity for this county should they prove
one-half as rich as their owners be-
lieve them to be.

AT THE SUMMIT MILL.
The Owners and Employees Have
Conference.

Phoebe Record: The managers and
employees of the Summit mill met on
Tuesday at the request of the man
ayers, and talked over their business
enterprise and arrived at an under
standing whereby the proceeds of the
mill are to be paid to the men pro rata
each month on a regular payday after
first deducting running expenses. such
as freights, necessary mill material.

shipping ore has been found, bat bad
air has cut off the production and this
cannot be altered until the air shat
now going down at the east end can
be connected with the tunnel level,
which will take about month, it is
thought.
Several miners We're overcome last
week by foul air in places in the mine,
and these places must be abandoned
for the present.
By quitting work and drawing pay
in full, men have drawn all the mill
proceeds for the past month and no
regular payday could occur and the
new arrangement is intended to treat
all alike
It is thought the first payday under
the new system will occur somewhere
about the 10th or 18th of June
