Placer Claims.

The JOurnal.Miner editor has had several inquiries of late in reference to placer locations. The following let ter from the commissioner of the gem eral land office, addressed to man in San Diego, and recently published in lifornia papers covers the point fully on which information IS sought and may be of interest to many others. The commissioner says: ''I am in re- ceipt of your letter of February l6, 1901, relative to the legality of eight persons giving. power of attorney to locale placer claims without number; thereby enabling a few persons to hold large acres of the public domain. It is well recognized that under existing mining laws claims may be located by agent: that one person may locate twenty acres, or eight persons may associate themselves in the location of one claim, not 10 exceed l60 acres, that there is no limit to the number of claims that any person or association of persons may locate; therefore, this office is without jurisdiction in the matter.--JOurnal-M Miner.

A curious story is told Of another
historical rcko which was brought 10
this seNntry. 1t is interesting to
Americans es illustrative of customs
and beliefs so widely different from
their own.
The olan MacNab, q warlke and
powerful tribe who held an absolute
faith in their traditions, lived from
the earliest times in the glen of Inoh-
Buis. One of their traditions was
that holy man, St. Fillen, had come
to the glen in the seventh century,
converted their ancestors to Christi
anity and taught them the arts OF
4 civilized life. Among these was the
method of grinding corn, St. Fihan
having built = mill with his own
hands. The pivots Of the wheels were
kept, and were supposed, when placed
in water, to convert it into an in-
fallible medicine.
The crozier used by st. FihaR was
kept by one family of the elan. The
head of this family always acted aa
sheriff, and when going through The
mountains in search of offenders took
the orozier with him as his warrant
This official was called dewar, or wan
derer.
In the beginning OF the nineteentn
century the clan left the glen ans
scattered, some Of the members y
the continent, some to this country.
A few years ago Sir Daniel wilson
while hunting on the shores Of Lake
Superior, took refuge in the cabin o.
Scotch settler named Dewar. ~
found +bat the mans family had once
lived in Inch-Buie, and, pressing M
inquiries, he had the satisfaction o
seeing the ancient crozier brougn'
out. Sir Daniel bought it, and y !
now among the national relics in Ed
inburgh.

MAN CUT HIS FACE BY
A FALL IN THE STREET
Way and the Curious Crowd Dis
persed.

This morning about II: 80 man was
crossing Utah street at its junction
with Overland and when reaching the
center, he stopped, threw up his hands
and screamed in awful misery, then
leaping into the air he pitched forward
and lit on his head. The left side of
his head and face struck first and the
entire weight of his body was behind
them. The gravel on the street cut his
head and face until the blood streamed
from the wounds.
A crowd rushed to his aid and he
was carried to the sidewalk where he
was rubbed. bathed in cold water and
in other ways his circulation restored
to normal condition and his senses re-
turned.
1t was presumably a case of epilepsy,
presumably superinduced by excessive
use of intOXicantS. Nobody in the
crowd knew him, but he was evidently
working man, as he was dressed in
blue work clothes and wore a cap such
as railroad engine men wear
The crowd soon dispersed and he
was left to continue his way as soon
as able.

A wary chicken thief was rounded
up early last night by Manuel Carmona
and now occupies a cell at the county
prison.
The chicken thief and his compan-
ion selected an unseemly hour for their
depredations. They raided the hen
roost at little before o'clock, before
the family of Guadalupe Barela, to
whom the fowls belonged, had retired
for the night.
Barela resides on South Stanton
street near the home of ex-Alderman
Del Buono and his chicken house sits
well back in the yard against the fence
that runs along the alley.
Last night the two thieves got into
the hen house by ripping off a plank
The first intimation of trouble came
when hen squawked, as if in agony
This attracted the attention of Manuel
Carmona and fearing that all was not
well with the fowls, he made an ex-
animation.
There was the sound of stampede
and suppressed oaths when the thieves
heard him coming. Carmona swooped
down upon them. He jerked open the
door and dashed inside. One OF the
thieves managed to squeeze himself out
through the crack by which they had
entered, but the other wasn't quick
enough and being a larger man than
the other stuck tight and could not
move either way. 1t was there that
Carmona found him and marched him
off to Jail.
The prisoner was charged with the
crime of burglary, which is peniten-
tiary offense. He will have a hearing
before Justice Ellis today.
The other thief made good his es-
cape and has not yet been appre-
hended.
