THE MINING LAW.

Disputes have arisen in White Pine
over the length of time allowed by the
State mining law for the completion of
the ten feet Of discovery work on a
newly located claim. AS the question
is one of vital interest to every pros
pector in the State the News has care
fully examined the statute. as amended
by the last Legislature. and has dis
covered what appears to us to be an
irreconcilable discrepancy.
Section two of the law Of 1897
reads: Before the expiration Of
ninety days from the posting such
notice upon claim, the locator must
sink a discovery shaft to a depth of at
least ten feet, etc" The law of 1899
amends this section so as to read one
hundred and twenty days instead Of
ninety days. thus clearly indicating
that it was the intention of the. Legis-
lature to extend the time Of doing the
discovery work.
In some way, however. section
three Of the law of 'o7 was overlooked
and was not amended to correspond
with the amendment of section two.
Section three provides that the locator
must record his claim within ninety
days after posting the location notice
on the claim, and the record must
show, besides other things, 1.-The d.
mansions and location of the discovery
shaft, or its equivalent, sunk upon the
claim"
1t thus becomes apparent that in
order to properly record a claim, the
discovery work must be done before
the claim is recorded. /. e., within
ninety days OF the date Of location Of
the claim, and to all appearances the
law of 1899, so far as it refers to the
time allowed for the completion Of the
discovery work, is null and void. How
the courts would decide the matter
providing a test case was made, we do
not venture to say. but we would ad-
wise any prospector who sets any value
on his claim, TO do his work and re-
cord It within 90 days from the date Of
location. and thus avoid all possibility
Of trouble.

Land Contest Ended in a Tragedy

Word reached this city last night of
the shooting of A. Linke, at Nez Perce
Yesterday morning, by Levi Dixon. The
parties to this tragedy have been con-
tending for quarter of section of reser-
Walton land near the town of Russell.
The land was unsurveyed at the time of
settlement and the intrcacies of a squat
tiers rights were involved in the contro-
yersy. Alvin Linke, the father of the
victim of Dixon's bullets, built a house
on the disputed tract and was occupying
it when suit for ejectment was institllt'
ed i'll the state courts and prosecuted to
the ejectment of Linke from his own
house on unsurveyed land. The order from
Judge Piper's court was obtained and ex-
ecuted in advance of any-filings or legal
rights obtained through the government
land Office. Linke was not only elected
by the sheriff from the house he built
but the house was torn down by Dixon.
After the plats of the land were filed
III the land Office the contest was renewed
with the result that Linke who had been
elected by the sheriff was awarded the
land. The trial in the land office
brought much conflicting evidence and
the facts at issue often depended upor
the veracity of the witnesses. Mr.. Dixor
felt that he was wronged in as much a
as the land Offices decision wa:
opposed to the decision of the state
courts, and it is believed from the limited
details of the tragedy at hand that the
shooting ARRAY was an out come of thes'
contests.
Young Linke is supposed to be fatal,
wounded, as three bullets entered hi
body and the message stated that he wa
not expected to live "a hours. Lev
Dixon is under arrest.

They came out with a fake report of lost
values to scare the original owners into A
condition of mind that would bring about
the acceptance of discount of SToo,ooo
That probable discount was the influence
which started the story of failing values
and conclusions drawn, and our little
daily fell into the trap
1t is well-known and positive fact
that the Clark Sweeney ilverman syndi-
cate was offered a bonus of SIS, 600 Tor
their bond within the week that the
story of reduced values was published.
This offer was not entertained for mo-
ment. 1t was not published by the syn
dictate. 1t was kept secret by the
syndicate. The offer however, was pub
lecly renewed after the fake story was
published by our little daily.
A number of mining men have returned
from Buffalo since the representatives, of
the syndicate left the camp. They all
bring the report that the Big Buffalo
ledge has increased i'll width with depth
and that the ore is improving in values.
| Nobody doubts the increased size of the
ledge and the samples of ore speak for
| the values. The ore is highly mineral
lied and the assayers have tested it at all
stages of development. The values have
generally been better as depth has been
gained. The tests made from. ore taken
! from the shaft were since the syndicate
representatives returned home, being
fully as rich as the average taken before
this story was published by our little
daily.
In addition to the Big Buffalo group
the Clark-Sweeney-S ilverman syndicate
acquired other interests, and it is in the
market for all claims of undoubted value
This fake is bold effort to reduce the
values of all other properties in the
camp, as well as to force big discount
on the deferred payments on the Bis
Buffalo bond. They have been aided anC
abetted i'll their schemes by the papers
and our little daily with the others.

Buffalo Matters.
GRANGEyuLE, Apr

GRANGEvILLE, April 10.
EDITOR TELLER - A report from
the Big Buffalo mine to the effect that
the ore at the depth of IS feet had lost
very much in value seems to have been
designedly circulated by the holders of
the option of that properly. The story
got into the papers on the outside and
even the little local daily fell into the
trap. The effort was palpably for the
purpose of clearing" the Buffalo propo-
sit'ons particularly and all other PROPOSE
lions incidentally: Why any body with
the Interests of the camp particularly,
and the country generally, at heart
shonld have given credence to the con-
elusion drawn from this 'sbear" report il
beyond comprehension. The mere fact
that lower grade ore than that found al
some other point should be found on ths
bottom of prospect hole at one poin
does not justify the conclusions that hav,
been heraldea to the world by the pa
pers, and our own little daily with TIL
Others. Especially is it self-evident tina
'he promoters of a great mining PROPOSE
non would not draw the damaging con
einslons from the facts stated, if the
were trying to maintain the high value Q

IN country town not far from New
York an old-tashioned preacher had ex-
horted his flock one Sunday not to read
the Sunday newspapers. On the follow
ing Monday he was strollng through
the market place when he spied some
unusually fine asparagus, a vegetable
of which he was almost gluttonously
fond, in the stall Of one of his parish
toner's.
Mr.. Smith," said the parson, ~ will
buy some of your asparagus, fit is not
too dear"
Now, Smith was q confirmed reader
Of his Sunday newspaper, and the ser
man had not pleased him at all. He de-
cided TO play joke on his pastor, More
over, he had sold his asparagus already,
though he said not a word about that.

Smith, "but / would not like 70 have II
on my conscience that sold such grass
as that"

SEEKING QUIET.
Mrs. Billtops Knows Where She
Would Like to Go to spend
the Summer.

Ezra" said Mrs. Billtops, ARE ssni-
tariums quiet7"
"Wen, 1 guess, Elizabeth" said Mr..
Billtops, shat that depends good deal
on the sanitarium; some are quiet and
some are not"
"Well, Ezra" said Mrs. Billtops, IF
you can find some quiet ssnitarium
where can go this summer ! want to go
there instead of to the seashore."
And this was all on account of the
children. The hour was $3.50 p. m, and
the smaller children had just gone to
bed after day of unbroken and unfag-
ging uproar and activity. The noise of
a planning mill would have been as the
buzzing of lazy bees in summer gar
den compared with the noise the
children had been making all day long.
The silence fell now, cool and grateful,
after the turmoil Of the day, but the
reaction had left Mrs. Billtops a little
limp.
1T isn't rest want, Ezra" said Mrs.
Billtops; "it's quiet"
II know it, Elizabeth" Mr.. Billtops
said; II know it, and wouldn't object
to a little quiet myself now and then.
I should like it il we could have quiet in
the house after dinner; If could smoke
my cigar in peace and tranquility; but
somehow the meal that makes me calm
ly happy seems to fill the children with
boisterousness and make them noiser
than at any other part of the day. Am
l right, Elizabeth"
"You are" said Mrs. Billtops, but
hear it all day long"
II know it, Elizabeth; I know it,
said Mr.. Billtops, land I have never
heard you speak of it before. don't
see how you can possibly stand it, and
I'll look for some good quiet sanitari-
UNI, sure"
And then they settled down on either
side Of the table and read, very COM
Portable, both, and both thankful in
their hearts for the children that had
been given to them, and who we're now

books should, The committee went
