Monday, and B puts UP a notice
subsequently, dating it on the pre-

tanned by B. 1t is a question of
fact, and while the reading of the
location notice-in this case Mon
day-is prima facie evidence that

it may be set sside upon it being
shown that the first steps in max
ing the location were taken on Sun
day. A location made on Sunday

ty, are rich in placer gold, and will,
some day, be worked extensively.

lars taken out of them by hand in
days gone by, and now several par
ties are figuring on putting in
heavy pumping machinery and
forcing the water to the hills for

nity.-Yuma Sentinel.
