following good advice: Push your
mine to patent. What is the use of
practically paying taxes of 500 per year
on 1T, in the form Of the annual assess
ment, when by patenting the yearly
costs will be only few dollars. As
soon as five assessments have been
properly performed, an affidavit OF
$500 improvement can be honestly made,
and then a patent is obtainable. The
order for survey will cost $50; the sur
vey $50 to $50; the land office fees $40 !;
the attorneys fees for drawing papers
from $25 to 800; the advertising SIS to
$25; affidavits, ETC., perhaps $40, and
final entry expense, if ten-acre lode
claim, $50. Total $40 to $275. Then

pany's traction engine was given trial
Sunday, which proved to be quite assuc-
cess, says the Bisbee Review. 1t took
some little time to get up the first steam,
but after getting up steam the engineer
moved the engine quite easily. The en-
CINE started out alone and circled
around several times on this side and
in Naco, Sonora. Three wagons were
afterwards coupled on her and were
pulled backwards and forwards all over
the country. Quite a crowd stood in
front of the Greene office watching the
first trial. Another trainload of trac
ton wagons and an engine came ir
Wednesday. The Greene people nov
| have at Naco two traction engines and
twelve cars, which will be all these geo
pie will receive. These engines anc
wagons will be put in service in yer!

three wagons, and while one train is a
the Naco end the other will be at Cana
nea, so as to have both CT them goin
and coming at the same time.
