nor will float suffice. He must find a
ledge or deposit Of ore in place.
2. He must erect at the point
where he discovers the ledge a monu-
ment Of earth or rock, or set a post at
least four inches in diameter and there
post a Notice of Location.
3. This Notice must contain
The name the he gives to his claim.
The name Of the locator.
The date OF location.
The number Of linear feet he
claims along the vein or lode each way
from the point Of location.
The width claimed on each side Of
the lode or vein as nearly as h. can
determine.
The Notice of Location does not
have to be recorded, and will hold the
claim until the Location Certificate is
made and recorded. or for the period of
ninety days.
The greatest width that may be
claimed is 900 feet. but the side
line cannot exceed 300 feetin distance
from the vein; that is, a locator cannot
hold 200 feet in width on the one side
and 400 feet in width on the other. In
the event Of there being two parallel
veins over 800 feet apart to hold them
both, it would be necessary to make
two locations.
The DISPATCH office keeps on hand
Location Notices and Location Ger
tiflcates and every miner should have
them. They are the best published.

pEmoRALlzED SOLDIERS.
General Funston Says .he Army Is
Ruined by Loss Of Cantcens.

Washington. d. c., Sept. 2s.-Briga-
dier General Frederick Funston, in his
annual report for the Department OF
Colorado. points out that the percent
age OF trials by court-mariial OF enlist
ed men has nearly doubled during the
past year. He says:
''It is therefore plain that there has
been a deplorabIe increase OF ofenses
in general and of descrtion in particu-
lar. In my opinion there are two prin-
cipal causes for this state of affairs:
First. resentment OF unaccustomed lim-
itatlons and restrictions felt by men
returning from field service to the mo-
notony and routine work OF garrison
life; second, the abolition of the can
teen feature OF the post exchange.
Since this action was taken saloons of
the lowest type have been established
just outside the boundaries of the vari-
Gus reservations. their proprietors. in
almost every case. being unpriDcipied
scoundrels who leave nothing undone
TO debauch the soldiers and obtain their
money.
of any city, the proprietors of these re-
sorts are subject TO no municipal or po-
lice regulations and sell liquor regard
less of hours and whether the buyer Is
already Intoxicated or not Gambling
Is universal in these dives and they
are frequented by dissolute women.
The soldier whose desire for n drink
would ordinarily be satisfied by few
glasses OF beer in the canteen Of the
post exchange goes to one OF these re-
sorts and does well IL he escapes be
fore he has spent or gambled away all
his money, overstaycd his leave or en-
gagged IN an alteration. As rule.
the local authorities regard the exist
ence of these places with Indifference
or approval, as 1t causes the soldier to
spend his money in the community. The
efficiency of the army or the ruin of a
good soldier is nothing to them. There
can be no reasonable doubt that most OF
the trials by general courts-martial and
summary courts, at least so far as this
department is concerned. are directly
traceable to this cause. Since l have
had command here there has taken
place the ruin and degradation OF seven
non-commissioned officers of long serv-
Ice and fine record. In short. the re-
cent legislation by Congress on this
concerned, has no effect except to
lower the discipline OF the army, ruin
scores of good soldiers and fill the
pockets of a lot of saloonkeepers, gam
blers and prostitutes"

Awful Storm in sicily.

Rome. Sept. 2s.-Advices received
last night from Sicily show that the
tempest that worked such damage in
that island is still raging. Details of
the storm multiply the number Of
deaths.
On the east coast $40 bodies have
been recovered. and the sea continues
to give up corpses which were swept
down by the torrents from the Interior
1t is estimated that 500 bodies have
already been recovered.
Three hundred lives were lost at
Modica. The churches there are filled
with dead, and the cemeteries are
wastes of mud. rendering the inter
ment of bodies of the victims impossi-
BILE. Salvage operations continue,
troops and peasants working without
intermission.
At Sortino (sixteen miles from Syra-
cuse) the cyclone continued fifteen
hours. The rains which have followed
the cyclone have aggravated the dis
aster in the country. sweeping down
bridges and interrupting railway traf-
fic.

GOVERNOR EAToN's PERIL.
Former Governor Of Colorado Exposed
to the Storm for Two Days.

Denver, Sept. 2S.-A Fort Collins dis
patch to the Republican last night says:
Former Governor b. II. Eaton and En-
gineer Ray +. Walters spent two days
and nights without food on the head
waters of Sand Creek. They left here
last week to take the measurement OF
the water supply In Sand creek and to
inquire into the possibilities of an in
creased flow in the stream. They We're
deep in the forest when they were
caught in the storm.
At the head of Sand Creek the forest
Is very dense and the men were far
from their camp when the storm broke
upon them. They were unprovided
with either food or shelter. Being in
the midst OF the storm, which nearly
blinded them, they dared not attempt
to return to the camp, for fear of get
ting lost in the timber. There was moth
ing for them to do but to remain where
they were and wait for the storm 70
subside.
They built fire and covered them
selves as well as they could with warm
small boughs in order to protect them
selves from the fury of the blast. The
storm kept up for two days without
ceaslng for an instant.
When the sun finally came out they
quickly avalled themselves of the op-
portunity to strike out for camp. The
snow was more than two feet deep, but
they struggled through 1t, finally arriv-
ing at camp late in the afternoon Of the
third day. When they reached camp
they were weak with hunger and ex-
haustion, but returned to civilization to
day but little worse for their expert
ence.

Denver, Sept. 2s.-The News this

nouncement:
Mr. Il. G. Campbell, present business
manager of the News. and Mr.. 4. Nj.
Patterson, have bought the entire plant
and good Will of the Denver Times
Each paid one-half of the purchase
price. The purchasers will assume the
management of the paper on Wednes-
day of this week-the first issue under
the new management will be on that
day.
A new company will be formed that
will become the owner of both the
News and the Times. The present
ownership of the News Will continue
practically the same as heretofore, ex-
cept that with the addition Of the
Times Mr.. II. C. Campbell Will become
one of the stockholders Of the new COM
pany.
Both the News and the Times will be
issued from the present publication

pers Will retain their distinctive names
and in every way except the ownership
remain two separate and distinct pa
pers. Each will have its separate and
independent corps of editorial writers,
reporters, artists and special contribute
ors, and each Will have its separate and
distinct telephone, telegraph and spe-
cial wire service. They will be as dis
tinctlvely separate journals as though
they were published by altogether diff
ferent owners.

W. S. STATIONS WILL.
Petition Is Filled for Its Admission to
Probate.

Colorado Springs. Sept 24.--County
Judge Orr yesterday fixed Saturday,
October 4th, at 10 O'Clock, as the date
for hearing the application to probate
the will of the late w. s. Stratton, upon
petition of the executors. The estate
is appraised by the executors at only
S5.OO0,O0O This is understood to be Il
legal formality only, and by no means
represents the true value of the prop
erty. The petition will come up for
hearing at the time set, unless a con-
tinuance should be asked and granted
DIR. d. II. Rice. one of the executors,
this morning gave out the first state
ment regarding the will and its effect
ON the community. He expressed his
surprise that there should exist any dif-
ference of opinion as to the value of the
proposed home in the Springs, and de-
clared 1t as his judgment that the in
stitution would prove n great blessing
to the poor. and be a gosld thing for
the city and state.

AMENDMENTS FULLY EXPLAINED

that ] could adjust the terms of ofiice
of those officials. as the public was not
willing to have the terms of office Of
county commissioner only two years.
and have an entirely new board go into
CfIice every two years. SO that under
this bill two commissioners will go into
office at the same time in the January
following the presidential election. and
the third member win go into office ia
the January following the intervening
state election In counties having five
commissioners, three go In at one time
and two at the other"
In answer to the objection that be-
cause of the many candidates to be
voted for at one time Objectionable per-
sons may occasionally be elected to Of
flee. Mr. Taylor calls attention to the
facility with which n straight ticket
can be voted and at the same time par
ticular candidates on the opposing tick
ct voted for under our system.
In this connection Mr.. Taylor intro
duces table showing the dates of cleo
tIou In all the states of the Union, by
which 1t appears that annual or quad
rlennlal elections are the general rule
He says:
"The table will show that In nearly
every state in the Union the county and
time and on the same ballot, and that
practically speaking. In nearly forty OF
the states of this Union there is one
year of relief from political agitation
between their general elections
Colorado is simply a quarter OF a
century behind the other states and !
have for the past six years been per-
slstently trying to bring the Centennial
state up with the procession.
"1he item of expense Of our elec-
tlons. both TO the taxpayers and to the
candidates, has become SO enormous
that few people who are not in public
life realize the increasing annual bur-
dens that are heaped upon them.
"For the purpose of obtaining some
reliable data upon this subject, wrote
to the county clerk and recorder of each
county In this state. to give me def
mite statement as far ms possible of the
items of expense of last falls county
election that was paid by each county.
Nearly all OF the clerks responded. and
the following table was compiled from
these sources OF information:

Affairs on the Isthmus.

The navy department is in receipt of
the following cablegram from Com
mander Mclean of the cruiser Cincin-
matt:
colon, Sept. 20.-Secretary of the
Navy, Washington: The United States
guards and guarantees traffic and the
line of transit. To-day permitted the
exchange of Colombian troops from
Panama to Colon, about 1000 men
each way, the troops, without arms,
in train guarded by American naval
force, in the same manner as other
passengers; arms and ammunition in
separate train guarded also by naval
force in the same manenr as other
force in the same manner as other
freight. M'LEAN."
officials of the Colombian legation
here predict that storm of dlsap-
proval will arise in Colombia as re-
suit of Commander McLean's action
in disarming the Colombian troops be-
fore their passage across the isthmus.
1t is stated here that Colombia's agree
ment with the Panama Railroad Com
pany specifically provides for trans
portation of Colombian soldiers by the
railroad when occasion arises, and the
commanders action Is regarded at the
legation here as a direct infringement
OF COlOmDlu y SONtItibhty oNti tue
isthmus.
A belief which has grown so strong
that 1t no longer can be disregarded,
is held in Central and South American
diplomatic quarters here in regard to
this latest, and in point of numbers,
almost unprecedented dispatch of a
naval force to the isthmus. This be-
lief (and it should be stated that the
impression prevails in spite of emphat-
ic expressions of high officials of the
United States government to the con-
trary) is that the large naval force
which has been sent to keep traffic
open across the isthmus will prevent
by its very presence the continuance
OF hostilities along the railroad on any
extensive scale and soon bring them
to halt altogether; that the force has
been sent there in anticipation Of an
early signature OF the Panama canal
treaty and that 1t will be kept there
to maintain order and quiet along the
strip from Panama to Colon. which,
by the terms of the prospective treaty,
the United States is to control.

Armed Guards for STATIONS Papers

Colorado Springs, Colo. Sept. 2s.-
The most sensational developments in
the Stratton will case contest occurred
yesterday evening when armed guards
were placed outside the inner offices OF
Mr.. Stratton's former place OF bust
ness in the Freeman block. The men
were on duty all night but to-day and
this evening the place is deserted. the
men having been ordered away. 1t is
reported that the executors of the es-
tate to-day removed the personal
papers, title deeds and other valuable
documents from the Stratton safe in
the building and at an early hour took
them to vault which is deemed more
safe. Two guards were posted at the
office after wordy encounter between
Attorneys McAllister and Blackmer.

SURGICAL OPERATION
PROVES BONE WAS AFFECTED.
Belief That the President VIII Now
Speedily Reeover-Resuits of the
Operation Entirely Satisfactory.

Washington. d. O., Sept. 2s.-Another
operation was performed to-day on the
absccss on the left leg OF President
Roosevelt. In the former operation
simple needle WAS used to relieve the
trouble, but to-day the surgeons with a
knife made an incision into the small
cavity. exposing the bone. which was
found to be slightly affected.
The Presidents case has been pro-
gressing satisfactorily. but 1t is be-
lleved by the physician that the far
ther operation made to-day will hasten
his complete recovery. While none OF
the doctors are willing to be quoted.
they give the most positive assurances
that there is not the least cause fer
alarm and say that on the contrary
there Is every indication Of a speedy re-
covery. That the area OF bone affected
is very slight, and that 1t VIII not re
suit in any impairment OF the Presl-
dents limb. and that there is no evil
dence whatever Of any matter that
would produce blood poisoning. They
confidently express their opinion tnat
the President will be up in a reason
able time and that with his robust con-
stitntion will soon be himself again.
The operation was performed bet
ween and 3 o'clock in the afternoon
and an application Of cocaine was used
to allay the pain. The President stood
the operation very well and subse-
quently expressed his satisfaction at
the successful result.
DIR. Rixey, the surgeon general OF the
navy. performed the operation, assist
ed by DIR. Lung. the Presidents regu-
lar physician. DIR. O'Reilly. who also
was present with the other physicians.
Is the surgeon general of the army, and
he was consulted regarding the case.
DR.. Edward II. Stitt. another of those
present. is In charge Of the naval hy-
giene and medical school
The physicians tonight took rose
ate view of the Presidents prospects
for getting out again. He has become
somewhat restlve. because Of his close
confinement, and the physicians are
considering the advisabllity of pernit-
ting him to take a ride in n few days
The physicians say the question now Is
simply one OF the healing Of the wound.
and reiterate this will be FASTENED by
the operation made to-day.
