1t will be remembered that in 1898 a
party of silver Republican patriots,
among whom was Senator Pettigrew,
made tour of Japan for the purpose of
finding out why that country had aban-
doned the silver standard for the gold,
and also to learn how the gold standard
was working. They returned in safety,
but for some reason their report was
never heard from. The mystery is now
solved. The Japanese Minister of Fin
ance has just issued full official report
showing that the gold standard has been
of great advantage to all classes in ia.
pan, and clearly accounts for the vast
improvement over the conditions found
under free silver. This may account
for the members of the self PettigreW
commission having suddenly dropped
the Japanese gold-standard question like
hot cake and tut ned their attention tC
] other lines of opposition.

TO SURVEY THE HOLY TERROR.


A. D. Wilson, accompanied by w. N.
Walsh. of Lead, left yesterday for Key
stone to make complete survey of the
Holy Terror mine in the interest Of
Jack Gray, receiver for the eighth in
terest Of j. B. Mccarthy. The survey
is for the purpose of determining exact
ly where the faces of the drifts are and
where the ore is being taken out. 1t is
made with full consent Of the Holy Ter
ror Mining company. Mr.. Mccarthy
claims an interest not only in the Holy
Terror ore but also that taken from
the Keystone, as the Keystone ground
was bought with the money made in
the Holy Terror. r.-Pioneer-Times.
WORK ON EACH CLAIM.
A recent ruling of the United States
general land Office, which requires that
where the locator is trying to develop a
group of claims by sinking single
shaft he must do $500 worth of work on
each claim before he can get patent
for them. 1t was held by the land
Office some time ago that there must be
an aggregate amount of work done on
a group representing $500 for each
claim that is, in the case of man
owning five claims he would have to do
s., 500 in work-$500 for each claim-but
could do all the work on one claim-be
fore patent could issue. Now the land
Office goes further and rules that while
this may do in case of tunnel, it would
not suffice where shaft is sunk, but
that in such case $500 worth of work
must be done on mot for) each claim
This is a singular distinction and bear.
hard and unjustly on good many who
have been trying to comply with all tht
new rules of the land office as fast al
they are issued.
