location are taken by another party
in order to defeat such relocation.

RELOCATION.
In event OF abandonment or for
feture a relocation is made in the
same manner as an original location.
In fact the relocater steps into the
place of the original locator and has
the same time TO perform all neces-
sary acts that the original locator
had. ''He may use the same discov-
cry shaft and boundery stakes, but
must sink the shaft 10 feet deeper"
Armstrong v. Lower, 6 Col. 393.
"The relocation is an admission
of the validity of the original claim,

the original locators Wells v.
Blain, 20 Pac. 1893.
So where there is failure by ten
ants in common to comply with the
law, whereby forfeiture ensues, one
Of the owners alone or part of them
and outsiders, may make valid re-
location. Saunders v. Mackey
Mont. 523. Strong v. Ryan 46 Cal.
33.
But in the case of Lockheart v.
Rollins, Idaho, it was held, aud ev-
cry principle OF law sustains the
opinion, that person sustaining :
fiduciary relation in respect to . min
ing claim cannot defeat the rights of
his principle by relocating for him
self. In such case If forfeiture
had in fact taken place, such relo-
cation would enure to the benefit of
the principal Lockhart v. Rollins
II Pac. Alb.
(By such fiduciary relation Is
meant, any agent or employee charged
by the principal with any other duty
in reference to the claim)
. For an analogous reason person
cannot abandon claim and then re-
locate it, in order to defeat and cut
out any mortgage or lien attaching
through him to it, Alexander v.
Therman, 16 Pac. As.
3 Such are very few Of the points
suggested by forfeiture and reloca-
ton In conclusion it may be said
: that the honest miner VINO conscien-
tiously does those things required by
r the law to perfect his location, and
and as conscentiously performs the
small amount of work necessary
every year-in all consuming but g

MINERAL CLAIMS.
Article on Location and Rights Of
Possession in Idaho.
FORFEITURE AND RELOCATION.

FORFEITURE AND RELOCATION
We have seen-in the preceding
article-that by the state law of '95,
shaft not less than 4x4 and 10 feet
deep must be sunk on the claim be-
fore the location is complete, and
that by the federal statute certain
other development work to the value
of 500 must be done on the claim
during each year before entry for
patent, and that by the state law an
affidavit Of such labor should be re-
corded with the district recorded
within siAty days Of the performance
of such labor. The distinction be-
tween the work required by each
statute is very obvious; the first be-
ing an essential step to make valid
location, or in other words, to have
the right OF present and exclusive
possession; the latter, done after the
location is completed, being equally
essential to preserve that right from
year to year and until the claim is
surveyed and entered for patent. We
come now to the question Of
ABANDONMENT.
That is the voluntary leaving of the
ground without any intention Of re-
turning and making future use Of it.
This is peculiarly question Of fact,
and, in case Of a contest, one for a
jury to determine; the party's own
statement that he had no intention of
abandoning the claim, is, Of course,
not conclusive, his intention being
proved by all the facts and circum
stances in the case. The abandon
ment being complete the land i'm
mediately reverts to the United States
so far rs it is not covered by other
or subsequent locations, so a reloca-
: lion by the same locator is not an
+ abandonment of the first location
, the relocation dating back by relo-
: cation to the first location.

FORFEITURE

Differs naturally from abandon
ment 1t is the loss of some per-
sonally acquired right by reason Of
the failure to perform certain acts
and is in no sense question of in
tent, being one for the court and
not the jury in cases of contest.
SO an abandonment may be complete
in minute, forfeiture generally
taking time to perfect. Any failure
to perform the annual labor required
by statute works a forfeiture, and
the claim becomes open to relocation,
unless tie original locators resume
operations before relocation has
been made. Belk V, Megher, 104
U. S. 279.
But such forfeiture cannot take
place until after the full completion
OF the year. So, off work il
renewed on claim, after it has beer
open to relocation, but before a relo
cation is actually made, the rights ol
the original owners stand as if there
had been no failure to comply witt
this provision of the law. Belk v
Meagher, supra.
But if the relocator has entered
upon the premises for the purpose o.
making relocation, it is then to'
late for the original locator to resume
work, even though the relocation il
not complete. Slavonian Min. Gov

The Utility of Cooperation.

We have with us Bro. FRED Iunfnorei an
expert saw hammerer When saw by use,
deviates from the path of rectitude, he takes
it to his shop and by some occult conjuring
makes it as good as new and it is set going,
all in an incredible short time. Now suppose
we had to rely on a competitive saw ham,
merer in Mt. Vernon, the nearest one, II
miles away. 1t would require the loss of
man two days to take it there and bring it
back, besides the loss of the use of the saw
during that time and what is worse, fat fee
for our competitive expert hammerer. What
a wide difference!
Bun this through all our departments the
doctor, music teacher, machinists tailors and
all the rest and you can see the cheapness.
together with the effectiveness of eoopera-
tion.
When Fred Tunmore hammers a saw he
does it with the central purpose of doing it
right and thus save the trouble of doing it
again. The competitor does it with view
of getting as much out of it for himself as
possible, and is tempted to say the least. to do
it again for another charge. Suppose we had
a few more iron working machines, our ma
chinists could then make our machinery at
about one quarter of what we would have to
pay Pluto for them.
Thus cooperation scores victory over COM
petition.

Fire! Fire !!

About II o'clock Friday night the alarm of
fire was sounded by night Waterman Ernest
Halliday, and in five minutes a swarm of CO.
operators were singing snow and water on
the red -tongued destroyer as he was raven
ously tapping the cereal coffee room, 1t was
in one end of the house used as kindergar-
ten, and the fire originating from the furnace
was in a fair way to destroy the entire struc-
ture. But socialists are somewhat fiery them
selves and proved too many for it, subduing it
before much money damage was done. A few
men could not have handled that fire. Many
did-another victory for cooperation.

OH YE, WHO IN YOUR BANQUET HALLS

Colony, November "A, 1898.
Oh. We who in your banquet halls
Give thanks to Cod remember they.
His children too, and brothers all,
Who feel not Thankful on this day.
Who, seeing mans inhuman greed,
And knowing wrong and bearing woe,
Have lost the hope to upward look
And found the cause to downward go.
Remember We that while We feast
Ten thousands faint that so We may;
Then chide them not that while ye eat
They 60 not on their knees and pray.
And if We would that they should love
A God they only know to fear;
Cease then TO mock thy brothers need
And stop thy prayer to dry his tear.
When like the meek and lowly One
Ye love each other" then We may
Look in Gods face with truthful eye
And go upon your knees, and pray.

Colony Life from One Point of View.

Perhaps the readers of Industrial Freedom
will be surprised to learn we have had snow
here in Equality for the last five days and
the way the children from six years of age on
up to about forty five have improved it is
caution. | presume you are all aware our
location is on long sloping hillside. conse
quently this affords splendid place for
coasting, providing one misses all the stumps
in their descent. But while we have been en-
joying the snow, Jack frost has been getting
in his work in the way of freezing few OF
our apples, potatoes, onions, ETC., but the
weather has moderated some-.hat to day, and
our fear of any more severe frosts at this
time has about subsidized.
At present am working four hours of my
time in the vegetable department helping to
prepare them for the cooks, generally there
are from five to eight o. more women in this
department but the way our tired husbands
and brothers eat these vegetables one would
think we would need twice as many helpers,
the other hour of my time of colony work
put in in caring for the milk and all the milk
untensils. We get but small quantity of
milk compared to our large family. just bare
" enough for the babies, the sick, and for
our cereal coffee three times day. We hope
some time in the near future to have COWS
enough to make what butter we may need,
then our tables will be more complete. For
fear | am making this too lengthy, | will

All communications intended for this
column should be directed to Anna
Burgess, Equality, Washington.

New Year came to Equality all clothed in
white, and when the frosty air began to PEN
citrate our too thinly walled abodes, some
of us began to wonder if the Japan current
which is supposed to keep us warm in this
far northwest corner of the United States
had not floated out into mid ocean and left us
tout in the cold" But if this were true the
thermometer would no doubt have indicated
a much lower degree than $50 above zero.
While sitting at my window | hear merry
shouts of laughter, and behold a group of
children of all ages-young men and women,
and even matrons whose age would indicate
ii suspicion of grey hairs coasting on the
side hill, and begin to wonder whether the
old are now growing young. | have often
noticed in passing from one department OF
work to another, that nimble fingers are gen.
orally accompanied with jest and laughter.
Thus many of our burdens are lighteDed.
and our wants which are 'legion and muster
many a score'' if not supplied are better en-
dured.
Some one has asked if the women of Equali-
ty do not have equal rights with men, and If
SO why no women were nominated for men,
bers of the National Board. | know of no
answer except that an office here is consid-
cred a burden instead of an honor, aud our
brothers no doubt wish to shield us from all
burdens.
