Because the government will never take
advantage of any default.
Second-As to third parties who have
established rights before re.entry OF de-
linquent, yes.
Third-As to parties who have no es
tablished rights, no. This interesting
question was settled in wnat is known as
the Meeker- Belk case.
Meeker in 1872 located claim. He
did not keep up his assessment work in
1873 or 1874 but did in 1875 and failed to
do 80 in 1876. Belk went on the ground
and located over Meeker in December
1875. Meeker returned and took posses.
sion early in 1877.
In trying the case the judge decided as
above. Meeker's rights were good up to
1875 under the third clause, but Belk'e
location was good after the night of De.
cember 81, 1876, by the second clause
Yet Belk had located over Meeker in '76
before Meeker's claim actually became
delinquent and the courts held that 10.
cation could not be made over a claim
not yet delinquent and so acquire rights
which on default Of the original claim
would become absolute. This last de-
cision makes it one of the necessities oil
valid location that 1t must be free and
uneppropriated land, and Meeker held
his claim even though he had allowed
his assessment work to lapse for nearly
two years.

The entire property is TO be electrified

solidaton is looked upon with much ia
vor by the mining men OF the district,
because 1t will enable the management
to operate on much broader lines than

Nearly A Serious Fire.


What came near proving the most
serious fire ever in Black Hawk, occurred
yesterday, and only for the will Of Pro
vidence rather than anything else, did it
happen otherwise. While the boy at
the Clark Hardware Co. was filing a
barrel with gasoline by pumping it from
the basement through a hose, Gus.
toner came along and while watching
the boy, lit his pipe and threw the match
down. AS he did SO the gas escaping
from the gasoline caught afire. The
boy had the presence of mind, however,
to draw the hose out of the tank under
meath, thus keeping the fire from going
down below to the big tank, and Charles
Hale who witnessed the igniting rolled
the partly filled barred into the street.
But the fire which had now started, and
as everything around that place is greasy
and oily to certain degree. was soon
burning good and that with the fact
that there was 500 cases OF giant caps
and some powder in the basement, made
it look very dangerous, especially as the
fire had by this time got into the base
ment. The fire department was called
and by hard work and good deal OF
bravery by some OF the members who
went into the basement with the hose,
serious fire was averted. 1t was more
good luck than anything else that the
off the caps and powder and cause an
explosion and fire that would have
ruined the building.
