AS TO PlACERS.
Some of the Limitations in the Locating
of These Claims,


The revised statutes Of the United
of mineral-bearing quartz to 300 feet on
each side of the center of the vein and
1900 feet in length. Section 1888 fixes
the area of a vein or lode claim within
the limits of placer patented to the
same person, at 25 feet of the surface
on each side of the vein or lode. There
fore, lode claim within the limits of
placer location, patented by perSon
other than the owner of the plac ~ lota-
ton, is limited to 25 feet of tae surface
on each side of the middle of the vein.
placer location confers neithcr title
to nor posse ssion of, nor Nithdraps
from subsequent location by others,
known lodes or veins of mineral in
place within its limits, under thc last
section named above, which provides
that placer patent falling 10 include
an application for vein or lode claim
known to exist within it's limits shall
be deemed a conclusive declaration that
the placer claimant has no right to
same. Since placer patent confers no
possession to known lodes or veins
within its limits, subsequent locator
of vein or lode within the limits of
the placer claim is not a trespasser,
as against the placer claimant, within
the rule of law that a trespasser on
lawful possession can acquire no rights.

WORK IN THE ALICE.
1t Is Progressing While the Lexington Is
Going Through the Courts.


The Alice Mining company is working
its usual force. The total is about 100
men, including leasers and men on
wages. The product from the mill is
silver bullion, carrying a small pro-
portion of gold, say three ounces to
1000 ounces in silver. Aside from the
ore miiled by the company they pro-
duce considerable base orel which is
shipped and sold to the smelters. The
company is doing considerable pros
pecting work in the Alice and Blue
Wing mines.
AS this is the only silver mine in the
district that is now productive, develop
ments in it will be awaited with inter
est. Its close neighbor, the Lexington,
is idle, being in the hands of re-
ceiVer, the result of pending litigation
with the Butte & Boston company. The
case is now on appeal to the supreme
court of the United States, not, however,
upon the merits. The judgment of the
lower court was against the Lexington,
but upon motion new trial was
granted From the order Granting the
new trial the Butte & Boston company
appealed. Should the supreme court
affirm the order, a new trial will b.
had. Should it be not affirmed. the
original judgment in favor of the Butte

of working the mine and mill until the
legal tangle is Strengthened out. c. c.

A NEW PROJECT.
1t May BE Tried in Hope of Giving New
Life to the Comstock.

From the Mining and Engineering Re-
view.
The most feasible project for infus-
ing new life into the Comstock mines
is now being considered by the man
ayers. 1t is proposed to utilize the
waters of the Truckee river and Don
ner lake to supply cheap electric power
to the mines. An electric plant is
now being erected at Floriston, whence
power may be transmitted to the lode.
If this is done the low grade ores and
the millions of tons of rich tailings
may be worked at a profit, while the
pumps in the deep shafts, the hosting
works and reduction plants can be OPP
Grated successfully and at a great re-
duction in cost of horsepower.
At present from $22 to s24 is paid
per month for each indicated horse
power, and it is estimated that trans
mitted electric power can be furnished
for 81 per month per horsepower With

PROOFS OF NOTICE.
What n Recent Decision Has to Say in
Regard to Them.

The construction given notice of
location should be liberal and not tech
meal, and a notice which refers TO a
known mining claim, with date of its
loca ton or TO recorded claims adjoin-
ing it, with a hosting shaft, is suf-
ficient compliance with the law requir-
ing reference to be made to some nat
ural object or permanent monument.
Where the testimony tends to show the
consolidation of a group of claims for
development and working purposes,
and that the required amount of work
was done on one claim for ALL and that
the grantor of the defendant was the
owner of all the claims by location or
assignment, the question of whether
work on one would inuTe to the benefit
of all should be left to the determina-

There's Plenty of Gold There, But It's

in very interesting way, although
possibly with some freedom of magma
ton.
There may be richer gold fields than
those in the vicinity of Dolores. but
one would never suspect it from a
reading of the letter referred to. About
the only problem seems to be how to
get the gold out of the placers, there
being a great scarcity of water in the
district, but this the CORE spondent
solves with a general and urgent in
vitation to capital to enter the field.
Still there is probably much of truth
in what he says and the district may
yet become producer of some import
ance. Dolores is said to be the old EST
mining town in the country, having
been worked for more than 200 years.
1t must have been. though, by the most
primitive methods. for it is said that
a great deal of the gravel has been
worked over a number of times, the
second working not unfrequentIy pay
ing better than the first. An authentic
statement of assays and actual returns
should give a fair idea of the character
and value of the district.

Things Are Looking Up.

Reports from the vicinity Of Idaho
City, Idaho, are of the most encourag-
ing character. The Illinois gold quartz
mine has been bonded for $4,000 and
work upon it will be commenced at
once. Many other mines in the neigh
borhood are reported as just resuming
operations after period of idleness or
as increasing their working force.
What Is still better is the fact that
good ore in considerable quantities is
being obtained from a number of the
claims.

Comfy A DOG"

Hunter, dog which for many years has
been familiar figure at the home of J.
T. Heath in East Thorndike, and we'll
known and a general favorite of people
in that vicinity, and which died recently,
possessed a rare and interesting combina-
ton of the most desirable characteristics
OF the various strains of blood which
coursed through his veins. His great in
telligence, amiableness, faithfulness and
proves were noticeable to even the
casual observer, while experts and stu
dents of the canine race have expressed
much interest in his prominent traits
which through proper training might have
brought him up to the highest standard
his kind is capable of attaining. He was
doubtless a good example in some re-
spects to many who assume a more erect
posture. He was seldom seen outside of
his own immediate neighborhood
Nothing about the premises escaped his
notice, either by day or night. Anything
out of the common course was quickly re-
ported by him to some member of his
family. He was never ferociously in
clined, but he would satisfy himself that
strange objects Or movements meant no
mischief before he would relinguish his
watchfulness. He was never quarrelsome,
yet would not brook an intrusion or an
insult from his kind, it mattered not how
large or powerful his opponent. On the
other hand, several instances are known
of his championing the cause of some
small OF weak cur and it was anus
ing to notice the protection and care he
would give the little fellow.
Old Hunter was always on friendly
terms with the animals about the place
motherless lamb, warning off men or
other creatures who might come near
He made himself useful in many ways.
He would take messages to members of
the family about the place with as much
promptness as reliable boy would. If
illness occurred in the family he exhibited
much concern. Preparations by any mem
Der of the family for leaving home wer e
watched by him with doleful countenance
and after the departure, and during the
absence, whether hours or days, he would
keep watch in the direction in which his
friends disappeared. On the return, and
when a long way off, he would meet them
with the most cordial greeting, and then
hasten to inform near neighbors in an I'M
mistakable manner of the, to him, happy
event. Aside from his friendship, there
was a sense of security when he was
about, ard he is greatly missed.

An Historic Knife.

A Bar Harbor man, Nathan S. Kingsley,
has just received an autograph letter
from President Mckinley, and he deserves
the honor. He recently sent the Presi-
dent pocket knife of no little historical
value, 70, hich he himself made. The
knife which MIR. Kingsley sent the Presi-
dent was an ordinary sized knife, neatly
made and with the parts all nicely
polished. The handle was of oak taken
from the old United States warship, the
United States. The brass used for the
lining of the knife and for the tips was a
relic from the old frigate, Constitution.
The back spring was of steel taken from
a gun lock, which was from gun belong
ing to a member of the Somes family and
used by him in the repulsing of the Brit
ish troops when they tried to effect
landing at the mouth of what is now
Somes Sound on the ocean side of Mt.
Desert island. The blade of the knife
was made from the blade of sword pre-
scented by.one of the postmaster generals
to the mail carrier who carried the mail
from Portland to Eastport when he had
to make the entire trip on horseback
through the woods The sword was pre-
sented to him as one of the weapons with
which he might defend himself.

CONVICTED BY COURT-MARTlAL
Some or the Witnesses Are Dead aud
Important Testimony Has Been Lost
and Now His Attorney Axis for a
New Trial.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. Army Of
icers and officials of the war depart
mcnt, who feel very deeply the dis
grace OF the Carter scandal, now be-
lieve that Captain Carter will never
be punished for his acts in connection
with the Savannah dredging oper-
ations. 1t is believed that, despite
the unanimous decision of the court
martial which convicted him, he will
be granted a new trial, In that case,
it is said, a r~econviction will be prac-
tically impossible, because of the
death of important witnesses and the
scattering Of vital testimony.
Wayne MacVeagh, Captain Carriers
counsel, now asks that a new trial be
allowed, more than two years after
the frauds came to light.
At the war department it is stated
that if this is done it will be exceed
ingly difficult to again gather to-
gether the facts which led to the con
viction. Several important witnesses
are dead and much of the testimony
that was Of the highest Importance
has since been scattered beyond tho
possibility Of recovery. Indeed, one
officer who is we'll posted o. the entire
history Of the case said that if a re-
trial was had Captain Carter could not
be con victed.
Up to the time the proceedings in
the court-martial reached Secretary
Alger, they went through the usual
channels, but when they were referred
to him, outside influence was brought
in. The papers were reviewed by the
judge advocate Of the army, as is Gus
proved, after which they were sen to
Secretary Alger. Those who were in
terestcd in suppressing the work then
got to work, the result being that for
six months or more the papers were
held in the desk of Secretary Alger.
He finally sci them to the President,
and in course of a couple Of months,
it leaked out that the whole matter
had been referred to ex-senator Ed
munds for a review.
Much time was consumed in this
examination, and when it was com
pleted the papers were again bundled
off for another review. Attorney
General Griggs got them this time,
and he directed the counsel on both
sides to submit briefs. This was done
and the attorney general took up the
work of review. He is still engaged
on it, with small prospect Of finishing
it at an early date. In the meantime,
he has promised to grant an oral
hearing to Wayne MacVcagh, which
is to occur some time after the latter
returns from his visit to England.
Colonel Barr Of the army, the judge
advocate of the court which conduct.
ed the prosecution of Carter, declined
to appear at this hearing, being dis
gusted at the buffeting about of the
courts decision, which, in all previous
cases, it is claimed, has been regarded
rs supreme and free from appeal.

DESPERATE IN PORTO RICO.
Inhabitants VIII Starve IL Aid Does Not
Reach Them Soon.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Aug. 10
Visits to the most distressed districts
of the island prove hal the former re-
been in the least exaggerated. People
in the towns are huddled together
anywhere for shelter. In the country
they are sleeping in the open air.
The food supplies have been totally
destroyed. Only the we'll to do can
afford to buy provisions.
Unless aid comes in u few days the
inhabitants will starve. The supplies
from San Juan have not yet arrived
at the towns, but the dcpots are al
ready surrounded by hungry persons.
AT Yabucoa the police are obliged
to protect the peasants bringing in
fruit from the country, The situa-
ton there is most desperate. In the
district surrounding Mayaguez wo.
men, old men and children are home-
less and begging shelter and food.
A Mayaguez paper reminds the
public that in the year 1871 the city
was destroyed by fire. Two days
later the governor was personally dis
t%ributing $50, 900 among those who
most needed it. The principal street
of the city bears his name in remem.
brance of this act. In Arroyo 90 pei
cen of the houses were demolished
by the hurricane. At the Playa (port)
nothing remains.
Many prominent persons in Utuado
have signed an appeal to the public
asking food and work for the inhabi.
tants. Two thousand persons have
persisted in this whole district.
