NEWS AND NOTES.

There are no "blanket deposits" in
Gilpin county. The veins are cut
obliquely across the foliation of the
country rock. Occasionally ore is found
occupying the line of lamination of the
enclosed gness or schist, but no instance
is known where ore occurring in that
manner has shown any degree of promi-
nence, nor are very flat veins found to be
productive in this county, the vein of the
Specie Payment on Bellevue mountain,
south of Russell district, being one of
rare exception.
George Strayer is taking out ore from
two points in the Golden Cloud mine
near the head or Virginia canon at the
depth of 300 feet, in which he is back
stopping. He is gradually getting the
property in shape for continuous out
put of ore.
Nate A. Sears took the contract for
setting the GO horse power boiler received
last week by the Kelley Gold Mining
company on the Rialto extension and
Vanderbilt lodes. The double engine
friction holster has also been received
and is ready to be placed.
Mike Cornwall of the St. Louis mine,
Pine district, is taking out sufficient ore
in development work to pay current ex-
penses. He will ship car load lot to
the smelters about the 20th OF the pres
ent month. He represents that the vein
is improving as developments are ex-
tended.
Work has been resumed on the Clifton
Belle mine on Pewabic mountain, Rus
sell district, for the company owning the
property, bi Robert l.. Martin, Sr. The
siding from the main track of the Gilpin
County Tramway is completed, but will
not be tracked until the frost is out Of
the ground. The crevice matter of the
Clifton Belle is wide and well-defned,
the ore being a concentration PROPOSE
ton.
Michael Flaherty has opened up some
very good. .loobing smelling ore OF n ga
lenous character in the Colorado Girl on

PERFECT LOCATION.

AS to what constitutes perfect loca-
ton, section 2, act of May 10, 1872, Re-
vised Statutes, says: NO location of a
mining claim shall be made until the
discovery of a vein. or lode within the
limits of the claim located" The time
allowed in this state for perfecting title
is sixty days to complete discovery shaft
and thirty days more to survey and re-
cord location certificate. Mills Annotat-
ed Statutes. section 3l24 ANY open
cut, cross cut or tunnell which shall cut
lode at depth of 10 feet below the
surface shall hold such lode the same as
if discovery shaft were sunk thereon"
The Colorado statute requires 10 feet
depth at least. Morrison's Mining
Rights, page 36: "If crevice does not
show in ten feet the shaft must go deep
err if it appears sooner the ten feet must
still be completed" The assessment
work is done in the discovery shaft, and
the annual labor is the 800 worth of
work performed annually thereafter.

Sunset tunnel, ten miles east of that
place. a vein has been intersected in
the tunnel which carries mineral con-
tanning values OF an ounce of gold and
40 per cent. copper per ton. The lode
he said, is well defined on surface, and
passes under lake, the water coming in
SO rapidly as to compel the miners to
quit working. Another tunnel was
started, and when in about 30 feet shot
disclosed solid vein of copper pyrites.
The mineral is about 10 inches thick.
The strike has caused quite furry of
excitement. Nate will return this week
and will go in by rail as far as Wolcott,
which is the nearest railroad station to

IDEA OF ANNUAL ASSESSMENT.
The idea of ansual assessment levied
on an unpatented mining claim is to
keep the claim from lapsing. 1t won't
amount to anything to "keep the title
up" If the locator doesn't think the
claim worth working or patenting, he
need spend no money on it at all. If
others are of the same opinion and don't
Jump" or relocate it, he can save all
assessment work, take his chances as to
relocation and not do anything. When
he gets ready to work the claim he will
have as good title to it, if it be not re-
located, as if he had put 500 worth of
improvements on it each year. He
might do the required annual work for
ten years, and if he missed one year he
would have no better "title" than if he
had never done stroke of work on il.
However, if a claim is worth holding it
is worth patenting and developing, par
ticulariy the former, and the better way
is to get United States title to min
ing claim as speedily as possible. If the
owner should want to sell, government
title is great aid.

ANOTHER SUIT ON

and Board of Aldermen-Only

the Bill.
CITY MADE THE DEFENDANT

Another suit seeking to test the const-
tutionality of the Birmingham amendment
has been filed in the circuit court, in
which the mayor and aldermen of Birming-
ham have been made defendants.
The suit was filed by the May & Thomas
Hardware company, through their attor-
ney H. C. Selheimer, for the recovery of
certain moneys alleged to have been paid
under protest to George Eustis, city tax col
lector, to forestall,- or prevent an execution
issued against plaintiff by defendant.
The complaint alleges that defendant is
due the plaintiff the sum of $3.50 for SO
much money had been received to and for,
the use of the plaintiff
1t is further alleged that George Eustis,
tax collector of the city of Birmingham,
made demand for $145.50 being one per cent
of the assessed value of plaintiffs stock
of merchandise for the year 1899, and that
payment of such sum was refused on the
grounds:
First-That the amount so demanded was
in excess of tho amount which the defend
ant had power under the constitution of
the state to levy, and assess by one-half
of one per cent, or by the sum of $3.50.
Second-That the act of the general as
sembly of Alabama, approved December
49, 1898, authorizing the defendant TO as
sess, levy, and collect in the city of Bir-
mingham, tax of one-half of one per
cent, in addition to the one-half of one per
cent. therefore authorized, was unconsti-
tutional and void. in so far as it authorized
the assessment, levy and collection of said
additional one-half of one per cent.
Tbird-That the not of tho paDara1 ocsaY,,-
bly,, approved February 49, 1897 providing
an amendment TO the constitution, so as to
authorize the city of Birmingham to levy
and collect tax not to exceed one-half of
one per cent. additional, to the tax of one
half of one per cent. as heretofore allowed
by the constitution, was and is unconsti-
tutonal and void.
The complaint also sets out a brief his
tory of the procedure of the city and the
action of the plaintiff in the premises.

HOLY ANGELS A CADEMY
The Closing Exercises Took Place Last
Night.

The closing exercises of Holy Angels

The exercises were strictly of musical
nature and an interesting programme was
rendered by the pupils of the academy, as
sisted by Misses May Rose, Bessie Cox,

Music-Miss Juliette Odom.

Music-Miss Edith Biddle.
Bishop Allen made a few remarks in
which he made an earnest plea for tho
boys who were largely in the minority on
the programme. He stated that it was be-
coming somewhat second nature to shove
the boys aside for the girls, which he
thought was wrong.
TIE boys he said should be encouraged to
sing and take part in such entertainments.
He explained to the girls that he meant no
discredt to them by his remaks, giving
them assurance that he had greatly enjoy
ed the beautiful music, which he said in
dictated the studiousness of the pupils.
