Locations Of Mining Claims.

VI MINING Claims are
made by marking each claim on
the ground so that its bound
aries can be readily traced, leav-
ing 1t to the laws of each State
and the local customs to specify
how such marking shall bemade.
The act of Congress itself does
not require that there shall be
any record OF the loca don, but
1t does require that where such
record is required by State
law or miners custom that such
record shall contain the name of
the locator, the date of the loca-
ton and such a description of
the claim by reference to natural
objects or permanent monu-
ments as will identity it.
As under the rule laid down by
the Supreme Court of the United
States there can be no right of
possession without a valid loca-
ton, it is most important for the
prospector that he complies with
the laws, both national, State
and district, in regard to making
his record of location. The act
of Congress provides that the
local customs are part of the
mining laws of every district
In such case the custom makes
the law. 1t may we'll be regarded
as a universal custom among
miners to record their locations
and such custom dovetailed into
the provisions of the Congress
ional act makes a complete rule
for the recording OF locations.
The statute prescribes what the
record of location must contain
In many mining districts Gus
tom demands that the record of
location should he a duplicate
of a location notice posted on
the claim, and hence the essen
tials of the record apply also to
the posted notice We may add
that the printed blank forms
commonly used by prospectors
are as nearly worthless as it is
possible for any form to be.
The object of the Federal stat
ute. seems to be to make the
record so certain that person
having a copy of it with him can
go out and find the claim, and
having found it, trace out its
boundaries. The reference to
objects and monuments is to tie
the claim (as surveyors term it)
to something that will be OF a
permanent nature and usually
consists of a hill, ravine, road,
creek or conspicuous tree, shaft,
cabin or boulder. 1t may also
consist of another well-known
mine or OF a patented claim, or
section corner. The record OF
location should state about how
far, and in what direction, such
object or monument is situated
from the discovery shaft or a
corner stake of the claim.
The decisions are not uniform
as to what renders such records
invalid. A great deal depends
on the topography of the claim,
I In some districts in California,
where the claims are situated IN
dense underbrush, it is custom
arv for locators to brush out
the boundary lines of their
claims, and note this fact in their
notices of location.-P a ci fl c

.HOTBED OF
MATRIMONY
This City Rapidly is Be-
coming a Gretna
Green.

Canton is becoming the Gretna
Green of northeastern Ohio. Never in
the history of the city have so many
swains and lassies come to the city to
have the nuptial knot tied as have
come during the past few weeks. June
brides of the vintage of 1903 with the
Canton trade mark on them are as
plentiful in every part of this section
of the state as the roses which are al
ways associated with them.
Nearly any day in the week the at
tention of passersby is attracted to a
couple of young, old or middle-aged
people who have something about
their apparel or manner which in
dicates that they are on the way to the
altar or are returning from the place
of places. Young people of the city
have learned of this and the sensitive
ones are fighting shy of the vicin-
ity of the courthouse when they go out
for a promenade with the onliest one
tor fear that they too may be sT3pec-
ted
Wagers are made by the loafers
about the courthouse on the possibili-
ties of every couple who enter the
courthouse and 1t is 10 to l that the
man who bets that ley are going to
apply for license Is sure to win.
Several days ago man who was
painfully dressed up in his Sunday suit
of clothes, pair of bright yellow kid
gloves and a buttonniere the size Of a
cabbage came up the street wearing on
his arm vision in muchly befrilled
gown of white summary goods, hat
with all kinds of impossible trimmings
and white slippers. The habftues OF
the courthouse winked at one another
and passed the word along. No one
could be found to take the bet this
time as the evidence was too strong on
the face OF things and the happy cou-
pie, totally oblivious Of the attention
they were attracting, passed on into
the courthouse to secure their license

Another story has come to light In
connection with the recent class day

caused more than little amusement
among the members of the high school.
One of the boys who was suspended

In the hall where the exercises were
being held, adopted heroic measures to
keep the news OF his supsension from
his parents He feared his fathers
displeasure more than any action OF
the board and took great pains to
prevent any inkling o. the situation
getting to his ears. He cut the tele-

ening: There is no getting around
the law. So far as these two men are
concerned they can probably be taken
care Of but the question is yet to be
solved. Sheriff Barry might refuse to
keep them at the Jail, the county
might refuse to maintain them. the
city has already refused. The state
has no means of doing so by law, SO
the only thing l can see is for the
county commissioners to care for the
insane.
"It might be well to ascertain
whether or not there is some way in
which the county can be compelled to
care for such cases."

DAMAGE SUIT HEARD

The case of Orlan c. Brown against
Silas Schwanter, for $1,000 for false
arrest, was placed on trial before
Judge Amber in court room 2, Monday
afternoon. Schwanter had Brown ar
rested charged with cutting timber on
the Johnson Sherrick farm near Waco,
but the suit was dismissed for lack OF
evidence. Brown claimed that his
reputation suffered from the arrest
and he brought suit. Attorney Sterling
represents the plaintiff and Charles
vKrichbaum the defendant.

The Pike Township Oil & Gas Co.,
In which number of Canton men are
interested as stockholders, will begin
drilling upon the H. Steinmetz farm
Tuesday, the machinery having arriv-
ed and been placed in position.
The company has $500 acres under
lease and will keep the drill busy all
summer, it is stated. 1t is the inten-
tion to thoroughly test the territory
for both oil and gas. The company
OWNS its own drilling outfit and will
be at little expense, comparatively as
the Berea grit, in which it is expect
ed to find oil is found at a depth of
less than 900 feet.
j. Galbraith of New Kensington, a
practical oil man, is interested in the
company The Canton stockholders
are Edward Langabach, Ellis Lewis
William A. Marshall and Walter Ste
vens.
The Berea grit which is a rich oil
,producing rock. is found underlying
practically all of Stark county. During
the past year every well drilled in
Stark territory founu the sand and
some show of oil or gas. Following
the line OF the producing rock, it is
estimated that it runs right through
the territory which has been leased by
the company. Insiue of two weeks or
little more, the drill will test the
correstness of this estimate.

OF LAW

Cuyahoga County Officials Want Rul-
ing on Insane Clause Of
Code.
STARK COUNTY STARTED TROUBLE.

1t was the commissioners of Stark
county who first put the question CT
the care of the insane, under the new
code up to the state authorities Later
the commissioners of Cuyahoga took
up the matter and are now vigorously
fengaged attempting to arrive at a So
luton. The Cleveland Leader this
morning has the following on the SUBJ
ject:
Serious difficulties, which have been
anticipated by the city, county and
state officials for the past two weeks,
came yesterday when the officials
were unable to find places to care for
two insane persons. They were plac-
ed in the county Jail for temporary
shelter.
The insane are supposed to be TAX
en- care of by the state. In the past,
however, the state has not had suf-
hospitals, and many insane persons
were turned over to city and county
institutions. The law providing that
the city and county should care for
the unfortunates became ineffective.
There were nearly three hundred pa
tients being cared for at the city infirm-
airy at the expense of the state at that
time, as the state hospital was filed
and no more could be accommodated
there.
The state hospital has been crowded
for a long time, but Superintendent
Howard has made the best OF the sit
uation and has on number OF occa-
sions accepted additional cases.
AS it is now unlawful for any other
than the state hospitals to care for
the insane, the question became SER
lious one. Superintendent Emde OF the
infirmary threatened to obtain a spe-
cial train and take the upfortunates
to Columbus and leave them at the
state house. It was decided later to
keep those who have been properly
committed to the infirmary by the
probate court. On the other hand
there were about twenty patients be-
ing cared for there that had not been
lcommitted. These cases bothered the
city officials. as they were liable for
damages for OBTAINING unlawiaflly the
patients To overcome this difficulty
all that had not been committed by the
court to the care of the infirmary were
taken before Judge White this week
The cases were not heard CT that time,
but yesterday formal complaint was
made in each case and examinations
made All but two of the patients
were committed to the infirmary
again. The two were In bad
condition and were ordered taken
to the state hospital. In this arrange
ment the city was satisfied.
The two patients committed to the
state hospital were William Blair and
Curtis w. starkey. During the after
noon they were taken to the state hos
pital by deputy sheriffs. Superinten-
dent HoMard refused to accept them
upon the plea that the limit had been
reached and he could not possibly care
for any more patients.
Il The deputies then took the two men
Ito the inhrmary. Here admission was
