the limits of the claim. "When we claim the right to follow vein on its dip, as it leaves it's side line and plum ges into the earth, it is obvious that we are at once dealing with a third dimen- sion rare y referred to in surface grants. Converge and diverge." There are | three exceptions to the above which acts as modifiers, viz: lst. In what are commonly called cross lodes, where two veins cross in the form of the let ter x. In this case the prior locator has all the vein matter contained in the intersection. 2d. Where the out crops of two apparent veins appear on two separate lines at the surface, but in their downward course such veins dip into one another, unite and form 6 single vein, represented by the letter Y. In this case the prior locator owns the vein at the intersection and all be- yond. 3d. Instances where location on the dip has cut off the right of lat ter appropriator on the apex, to follow below his side lines extended vertically downward.
 Sd. The words natural objects" and permanent monuments are general terms, which can have different mean ings, depending largely upon their ap- plication. The following cases indicate the views of the courts as to what are natural objects and permanent monu- ments: "PrOminent posts or stakes firmly planted in the ground; stones, if of proper size and properly marked: monuments, prospect holes and shafts may be sufficient as permanent objects within the meaning of the law. The boundary lines of adjoining claims have uniformly been held to be such. A tree, rock, canyon or any other prominent feature of the landscape is a natural object, also the mouth or head of a stream, which can be described, is natural object.
 4th. The United States mining laws give the miner the right to establish local rules and regulations. and from the following l am led to believe they can cut down the size of claims, that is, to limited dimension: No claim shall extend more than 300 feet on each side of the middle of the vein at the surface, nor shall any claim be linn tied by any mining regulation to less than p feet on each side of the middle of the vein at the surface.

CAMPBELL
 SURPRISED

Alex Campbell, q prisoner sent out from Nome last fall on the Oregon, to McNeil's island penitentiary, writes letter to A. J. Love from McNeil's. Campbell is serving two years term for larceny. He is treated well. he says, and expresses his determination to return to Nome on the expiration of his sentence. Campbell writes that James H. Lee, deputy United States marshal in Nome in 1899 and the spring of 1900, was a stowaway on the Oregon last fall. Lee was a member of the grand jury that found q true bill against Campbell. Lee represented to the steamer officers that he was in charge of the prisoners, and when he was un- masked the Oregon had sailed from Nome. Campbell writes: 'I am sur prised that such men should be allowed to sit on any jury"

construction of either narrow gauge railroad or bucket tramway during the coming summer from the mine to the lnmachuk. They are now engaged in selecting the most feasible route and measuring the exact distance with that end in view. The terminus. in all likelihood, will be on the Dashlev property, from which point coal will be distributed up and down the stream by teams.
 Much speculation has been indulged m and many conflicting theories have been advanced relative to the sudden disappearance of Aaska's most cher. lshed bird, the ptarmigan, during the latter months of winter. Some cling to the belief that they migrate to q lower latitude, to return again with the balmy zephyrs of April and May: others say that they merely move to the timber found along the coast of Berlng sea and on the heads of streams entering the Arctic. This intricate problem is solved now and solved for ever, and the Inmachuk claims the honor. These birds do not migrate to distant parts. but simply bury them selves in the deepest snow in certain favored spots on streams most ire quently travelled by man, thus protect. ing themselves from danger from foxes and their various other enemies. Only few days ago one of our most pro- sresslve and successful miners. while digging in a deep bank of snow, pre- paratOry to sinking d shaft. discovered q valuable mine of ptarmigan. The most peculiar thing in connection with this unique discovery is that these hardy little birds had actually tun- neled beneath four feet of hard-packed snow With system of crosscuts, drifts and raises, leading into chambers con- talnlng large accumulations of willow leaves and other articles of bird sus- tenance. How many birds were thus imprisoned in their winter home this kind-hearted Alaskan did not attempt to determine, but lost no time in re- pairing the damage he had done to Il sacred spot

Association Formed for
 That Purpose
LEGITIMATE MINERS
Will Not be Debarred From Work. ing, but Those With P0rcine
 Instincts Will.

The Beach Miners Protective Asso- citation has been formed with a mem- bership of thirty-two, mostly men who own or control machinery, and of late there has been a small stampede up the beach. Sixteen miles of beach have been staked. A correspondent of THE NUGGET writes: "I have talked with some of the company and they assure me that it is not the intention of the association to hold and prohibit miners from working the beach, but to protect themselves against pencil miners stalk ing and holding the beach for royalty purposes, as has been done in the past.
 ''The beach is as open to locators as creeks, but it has always been looked upon as free ground, and the machine men with from $500 to 5000 invested in plants do not propose to have a few hogs, with nothing invested, compel them to pay royalty or move of ground that has always been looked upon as every poor mans property.
 Any legitimate beach miner with u spark of manhood about him need have no fear. The Beach Miners Protectiv ve Association has staked the beach to keep it open to all MEN, but the law allows them the privilege of putting up the bars against hogs, so those who be- long to that class had better stampede at once.
 "The association has not as yet form. ulated it's rules but suppose you will near of it as soon as it is done, but am informed that the rules will in no way conflict with gentlemen miners"

Special Correspondence )

Deering, March l5.-Dick Hoogen. dorn arrived from Candle a few days ago with a bunch of reindeer, which will be used in drawing coal from the Kugruk mine.
 THE NUGGET arrives with each in- coming mail like message from heaven. It's spicy local news, it's we'll written editorials and its reports of outside doings are read with interest beyond the power of words to describe We certainly admire the enterprise of some of our Alaska newspapers.
 Timothy J. O'Shaughnessy, of Nome, arrived here yesterday with consign- ment of oats and hay for Manager Joyce. of the Morris Coal Transfer line. Three tons have been delivered at the coal mine, and in ten days the balance of four tons will arrive at the Inmachuk end of the line. The ques- tion of freighting seven tons of horse feed a distance of 250 miles in mid winter, in this latitude, across long stretches of trackless tundra, where fuel is as scarce as hens teeth, is a task that none but genuine Alaskans are equal to. Mr. Shaughnessy leaves tomorrow on his return trip via Candle and Council. While in Candle few days ago Timothy was made an honorary member of the Candle Seal Oil Club.
 F. Mcintosh, manager of the Kugruk coal mines, came over to the Inmachuk a few days ago. He reports gratifying results from the systematic work being done on this bonanza of the north. In the third level at depth of 300 feet, they have found a body of coal so much superior to that found at shallow depths that there is scarcely any con- parisOn: it is more compact, contains no ice, and it's steaming qualities are immeasurably increased. Those who are familiar with coal mining in lower regions venture the assertion that a few hundred feet more in depth will show a quality of coal equal to any on the Pacific coast of America.

Ques.--This is the fourth letter we have sent you, and although we have re- ceived every copy of THE NUGGET up to date, have not seen one of our ques- tlons answered. We have discovered ledges containing tin up in this section of the country, and would like very much to have the following questions answered: lst. What constitutes a discovery of a vein or lode? 2d. Must the end lines be parallel? 3d. What comes under the head of natural ob- jects?' 4th. Can miners by local laws and regulations cut down the size of lode claims?
 CAPE YORK MINERS.
 Ans.-This is the first letter received, which accounts for you not seeing same answered. ist. The United States mining laws contain the following: "No location of mining claim shall be made until the discovery of the vein or lode, within the limits of the claim To- cated." The following are some of the higher court rulings: "The vein must be reached; the finding of float or loose quartz is not sufficient A location on float ore and not showing the lode in place, has been expressly held to be in- valid. Judge Hawleys definition seems to answer your question, and was hand ed down from the supreme court of the United States by him as follows: When the locator finds rock in place containing mineral, he has made dis covery within the meaning of the stat utes, whether the earth or rock is rich or poor. whether it assays high or low. It is the finding of the mineral in the rock in place, as distinguished from float rock, that constituted the discov- cry and warrants tho prospector in making location of mining claim. " From this ruling it has been held that the vein or lode need not contain ore or mineral, but it must show mineral-bear- ing rock.
 2d. Yes; the end lines, according to the United States mining laws, should be parallel; but if not parallel the loca- tiOn is not invalid. The advantage of having the end lines parallel gives the locator the right to follow the vein on the dip beyond the side lines, no mat ter how extensive it may be, if the fol- lowing conditions have been fulfilled lst. That the vein being continuous and in place have an apex. I'd. That tho end lines of such claim be parallel. 3d. That such apex be enclosed within
