AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Helena independents: We notice the
following going the rounds of the press
as an important" recent ruling of the
commissioner of the general land office:
1T has been decided that a single loca-
ton of placer mining ground may en-
brace 20, 40, 60, so, 100, 100, 40 or 100 acres
in a compact body, according to the num-
Der of locations.
IF eight persons should make eight dis
tinct and separate locations of 20 acres
each, and seven of the locators should
convey their claims to the other, it would
require annual assessment work of the
value of $500 to maintain the pOsSeSSory
right to all of the claims; but, in the case
of a single location, embracing 100 acres
of placer mining land, the owner thereof,
in order to maintain his possessory right
thereto, would not be required to expend
500 worth Of mining labor on each 20
acres thereof, but his possessory right to
the entire 100 acres might be maintained
by performing thereon 500 worth of ac-
tual mining work designed in good faith
for the improvement of the 160-acre loca-
ton as a single mining claim"
This is important, if a mere statement
of the law as it is and has been concern
ing placer mining locations can be i'm
pOrtant.
There has been no change in the law,
or in the regulations of the land depart
ment. governing such locations, or their
REPRESENTATION, and a careful reading Of
the above will fail to disclose anything
startling.
OF course a single location of a placer
claim may embrace any number OF acres
IN to 100, not to exceed 20 acres for each
nerson named in the location notice. If
tho claim is 100 acres, there must be
! eight locators. This is regarded as one
claim, and the expenditure of 500 in
q hor or improvements will represent 1t.
The other case is where eight per
sons make eight distinct and separate
| locations of 90 acres each, which may
he contiguous. Each of these claims IS
| distinct from the other, and each based
! on it's own location notice. Where the
| eio,ht ioin in one location OF l6O acres II
! ic one claim; where the eight make sep
arate locations there are eight CLAIMS OF
On acres each. If one man becomes by
n,,rchasn the owner of the eight, ne mas
nirbt claims to represent, and falr ana
/ honest representation will cost nm SsoO
a year. uidosnrood

NOTHING IN IT,
HE STORY OF THE ATTEMPTED
POISONING PROVES A HOAX

Butte's sensational poisoning case.
which came to light Saturday, in which
Mrs. c. H. Williams figured as the in
tended victim, and for which Madame
Guy, alias Mrs. c. H. Jewett, was arrest
ed, has proven to be a hoax.
The box of candy, which Miss Ander-
son received from an unknown source.
was subjected to a careful analysis YES
terday by Drs. Wells and Sievers and
found to contain no poison.
Madam Guy, who is accused by Miss
Anderson of having sent the candy, and
who according to Miss Anderson's opin-
ion, is responsible for the anonymous
letter which the complainant received
some time ago was arrested Saturday
evening on a charge of attempting to eX-
tort money. The bond was placed at
81, 900 which she could not furnish and
she was obliged to remain in Jail.
In view of the developments of yester-
day, which demonstrated that there was
very little in the poisoning story, the
county attorney caused the bond to be
reduced to $3.50, which Madame Guy fur
nished this afternoon and was released.

TUNNEL CLOSED TO THEM

Judge Smith Of Helena occupied the
oehch IN department 1. of the district
court today and will remain two weeks.
;Ihere were two cases set for trial, but
only one was cached, that of James
Macfarlane against John Gillie, to re-
cover $500 to which he lays claim by rea-
son of having won it on a a decided
by j. Is. Haggin. The money was put up
by G.. 5. Batterman, an engineer in the
employ of the Boston and Montana Min
ing company, Nh. Gillie being simply the
stake holder.
No testimony was taken until about 3
O'Clock this afternoon. After Macfar-
lane had detailed the terms of the con-
tract between Batterman and himself a
motion was made to strike out all the
oral testimony on the ground that it was
not competent.
The point was argued and at it's con-
clusion Judge Smith sustained the mo-
ton.
Joel Crossman. Alice Crossman and A.
A. Crossman instituted a suit in the dis
trict court today against William Swift
ger and {. c. Frost. In their complaint
the plaintiffs state that on February 8,
1886, the defendants executed a document
by the terms of which they We're to nave
permission to enter the tunnel of the new
Emerald mining claim whenever they de-
sired to do so and could take with them
any person they saw fit; that on Febru-
airy II, 1899, the defendants refused to
, permit plaintiffs to enter the TUNE
Plaintiffs ask for 500 damages and
that the defendants be restrained and en-
iojna5 from, bin1prinp them from pptpr-
ing the tunnel with persons to whom they
| desire to show the claim.

Vassers for a blind. He says one of the
gentry was seen and recognized a few
days ago and ar effort is being made to

states. is to go to a house and knock and
if there is no answer skeleton Keys are
used to effect an entrance. If somebody
happens to be at home the caller always
