in purely secular way, should be in

every school. Aside from its religious
significance, its value as an example
of perfect English style is inestimable.

AGO. and as was asked TO suggest
some means of entertainment, | wrote
a number of questions concerning per-
sons. articles and Incidents men,
toned in the Bible, and gave each per-
son present three questions to answer.
One young woman was asked what
at ephod was, what was the fate of
karah and what kind of seed mama

Washington Post. another was

Reliable Press Reports.

The Nevada State journal the 9TH
er morning published what purported
to be telegram from Tonopah telling
of the great enthusiasm which greeted
Newlands, Van Duzer ct ais, and even
gave extracts from their speeches. 1t
was glorious meeting, according to
the reports.
The only thing the matter with it
was that it did not occur at all, no
fusion meeting having been held on
that date. The public will therefore
hereafter understand that these glow
ing ''telegrams" are composed in the
Journal office and are not reports of

Assessment Work.

Assessment work which has been
neglected on mining claims during
1904 may be held by the claimants be-
ginning work on the claim before
January l, 1905, and continuing the
work until 500 worth of work shall
have been accomplished or improve
ment8 made. Some claim holders be-
gin their work in October or Novem-
Der and do 500 worth of work, and
continue into the succeeding year,
when they do an additional 500 worth.
By this arrangement they are required
to visit the claim only once in two
years instead of yearly. fan amount
of work be done in excess of the legal
requirements during any one year, it
does not count on the assessment work
required the following year. 1t is true
that in saving a claim from relocation
a claim holder may begin the work
for 1904 late in that year and finish in
1905, but he may not do work for 1908
in 1891.
