About Annual AS
SeSSnent Work.

The season OF the year is rapidly ap-
preaching when claimowners, holding
property by location only, must begin
work in the performance of the annual
assessment work required by law. In
many cases, in the past, the beginning of
this work has been postponed until al
most the last moment. and instances can
be cited where such procrastination has
resulted in the total loss of the property
involved, or the locator has been forced
to defend his rights in the courts; and
especially is this the case in popular dis
tricts where there is ever ready demand
for valuable aud promising properties,
and 10 localities where the CLAIM jumper
keeps close tab on the amount of work
done 10 the way of assessment, the slight
est deviation from the amount required
by law giving him pretext and a color
of right in putting his location over that
OF his neighbor, who, in all probability,
meant well, but who was not as careful
as he might be in observing the full re-
quirement of the statutes made and pro-
vded.
1t is often the case that non-residen
clamowner hts to contend with many
difficulties before this work is done and
his property fully protected, and he can
not be too careful in satisfying himself
that he gets full value for the money ex-
pended, and he must remember also,
that 500 must be expended, in actual
development work and improvement,
upon each unpatented claim that he
holds title to. Counting so much for
the wage of The miner employed in de-
velopment will not do, for a certain

Of the district, regardless of the time
taken in the accomplishment of the
work, and, tue safest plan is to do more
than is required, in order that no pos

ty OF the work reformed. Many claims
are annually lost to non-residents be-
cause of the deficiency Of the work

Death Valley Ore.

Martin Ryner and Nels Standish, two
experienced prospectors. recently arriv-
ed at Caliente, on the Clark road with
samples of gold rock and aluminium from
claims which they had located in Death
Valley.
They had rough trip into that fear
ful district and almost perished from
thirst before getting out of the desert.
They were two days absolutely without
water under blazing sun on account OF
their burros tipping over their water
barrel at night, and when they arrived
there Ryner was nearly blind from the
effects of sandstorm which overlook
them on their last day in the desert.
They claim to have located a fve-foot
ledge of free gold from which the sam
pies shown were taken, and show chunks
OF coarse gold as large as kernel OF
wheat all through the ore. These sam
pies will go into the thousands OF dollars
and the question Of accessibility to wa
ter is all that stands between the nervy
prospectors and affluence.
They found the skeleton OF a man, on
whose bones the skin and flesh had dried
and baked into the semblance of an Eey-
ptian mummy. Three brass buttons,

Flames Race in
1ail Car.

While the west bound Overland ex-
press was running at speed of sixty
miles per hour near Ocala. this side of
Winuemucca Monday morning, the pos
tai clerk in the mail car, discovered the
interior a mass of flames. Before he
could turn in an alarm and bring the
train TO a stop, six pouches containing
letters were practically destroyed, the in
terror of the car was badly scorched and
finally after a stream of water had been
turned on and the fire extinguished, it
wac discovered that in addition the con-
tents of number of pouches we're con-
siderably damaged.
How the fire started will never be
known, though Conductor Trousdale,
who was in charge OF the train, is OF the
opinion that it was caused by cinders
getting through the ventilators and lodg
ing in the mail sacks. Engineer Shep-
ley, of the same train, is also OF the opin-
ion that the fire was due to this case.
The postal clerk. whose name could
not be learned, was engaged in sorting
the mail that the car is constantly pick
ing up along the line. His attention was
called to the blaze by smoke issuing from
the sacks in one corner of the car. he
started to put out the fire unaided, bat
soon realized this would be impossible
and pulled the bell cord bringing the
train to a stop and summoning aid.-

According to the Sacramento Bee sew
eral changes have been made in the con-
ductors' lists Of the Southern Pacific
Company, it being reported that from
twenty to twenty five have been relieved
from duty within the past two weeks.
Onls two conductors on the Sacra.
menSo Division, however, have been re-
leased, according to statements Of rail-
road officials aud the cause of the lay
ing off Of these men is not made public,
the railroad people holding that their
affairs are and should be quite as private
as those of men engaged in merchandise
ing.
railroad Official said that it could
not be claimed that the reason for or
cause OF the retirement OF the two con-
ductors mentioned WAS public business,
aud that no statement as to why they
are not on their regular runs would be
made.

He understands western men and western
interests better than any prominent Ameri-

Our delegates are all elected by the state

Capt. Castle Glad to Lay Aside tho
Burden Of Official Life.

1t is expected that the new auditor for
the Post Office Department. MI ]. j. Nc
Carly, whose nomination has been sent to
the Senate, VIII be by that body confirmed
today or tomorrow and that he will be
sworn in later in the week. Auditor Castle
will then take the permanent leave that he
so much desires. He has been at the head
of the division for nearly seven years and
has repeatedly asked to be relieved of his
duties in order thlt he mig hit take up his
residence in some place whe.e his health
would be benefited by the change. Until
lately this wish has not been LossibIe OF
granting at the hands of the President, ow-
ing to the fact that ths o-hce pays too little
to attract the rght man and because OF
the invest CATION that has been go ng on In
the department. 1t W the W sh of the
President and Mr. Castles own desire that
no change be made until after that investi-
CATION. and now that 1t is concluded he
feels that he ought to be relieved at as
early a date as CONSISTENT with the CIR
cumstances.
Mr.. Castle says that he is heartily glad
to relinqu sh his position and that he
grets for the sake or his he lth that he Was
unable to leave sooner. He VIII eventually
take up his residence in 81. Pail, but for
the present VIII travel
