this place, the Salmon breaks, and
great amount of development will be
done. This will include small mill to

Latest News OF the Hump.

Hump, Idaho. Especial to the
Tribune. )-Since the articles in the
Tribune regarding railroad possibilities
and an extension of the Clearwater
branch to Harpster, one hears but little
else. That an extension to Harpster
means a great deal to the camp can not
be doubted if we can judge by the int
crest taken.
The work now being undertaken by
the Concord company is attracting a
great deal of attention. Sinking on the
Mother Lode No. 2 is progressing very
satisfactorily. The shaft is now down
80 feet and the sills for the big shaft
house were laid today. The timbers for
the gallows frame will be in place by
Monday and sinking will be resumed
and the building enclosed at the same
time. This claim is second to none in
the Hump. The ore body at the sur
face is "a feet wide with phenomenal
values and although only 80 feet has
been sunk the values have increased
very materially The hoist is right in
the town of Concord. AS soon as the
work on the Mother Lode has made
good progress, work will be commenced
on the st. Louis. This claim is owned
by the same company and is situated
one and one-half miles south of Con
cord. Extensive work has been done
on this claim, the shaft being dowr
about $50 feet, with good values
throughout.
The Jumbo's cleanup for April is IL
excess of any month yet and judging
from reports from the mine, May will

Mr.. Dobbin has commenced work OF

Work is being pursued on the Libert,
Bell group as fast as circumstance

In answer to your inquiry Of
recent date Z have TO say:
The law relating to the selec-
ton of the newspaper for publi-
cation of notices relating to min
ing claims, as quoted by Judge
Lindley in his revised edition of
mining law is as follows:
Upon the filing of a patent
application the register of the
land office shall publish a notice
that such application has been
made, in a newspaper by him de-
signated as being the newspaper
published nearest the land, etc. 4"
There are many decisions of
courts and rulings of the General
Land Office on this point, all a.
greeing that the register of the
land office has a wide discretion
in the selection of the newspaper
for the publication of such notice.
The construction of the statute
seems to be that he shall select
such paper as has a general cir
culation in the vicinity of the
land in question.
But the publication of notice
of forfeiture to co-owners of the
interests of those who have failed
to perform their part of the anu
al labor or making improvements
to the value of $1OO during each
calendar year, is a different law
with different provisions and con
struction. That law says:
Upon the failure of any on'
of several co-owners to contrib
ute his proportion of the expend

iture required hereby, the own
ers who have performed the la
Dor or made the improvements
may at the expiration of the year
give SUCH delinquent co-owner
personal notice in writing, or no
tice by publication IN THE NEWS
PAPER PUBLISHED NEAREST THE
CLAIM; for at least once a week
for ninety days, and if at the ex-
piration of ninety days after such
notice in writing or by publica-
tion. such delinquent should fail
or refuse to contribute his pro-
portion of the expenditure requir-
ed by this section, his interest in
the claim shall become the pro-
perty of his co-owners who have
made the required expenditures"
In the wording of the forego-
ing statute no discretion is given
as to the paper to be selected for
the publication of a forfeiture
notice. 1t must be printed in the
paper that is published nearest
the claim.
The Supreme court of Colora=
do, justly famous for its learning
and accuracy on questions Of
mining law, says: "This does not
mean the nearest travelled route. -
Haynes VS. Briscoe, 67 Pac. 156.
1t is therefore safe to say that
the paper published nearest the
land by airline measurement is
the only one that can give a val
id and legal publication of no
tice of forfeiture, even though
the usually travelled route is a
wide circuit, and many other
, newspapers are passed on the
way.

The Portland Group.

P. w. Murphy came in from the Port
land group upon which he has been
working. He reports very satisfactory
results thus far. The ledge as opened
shows a width of ten feet, and though
no assay returns have been received,
the appearance of the rock indicates
that it carries good values. This gronp
is situated on the divide between Red
Horse and Kinks Fork, in what is known
as the Red Horse section, and is contig-
uous to the Providence Maryland-Colum
bia, Diamond Joe and other prominent
claims.

Elk City Wins.

The MINING NEWS received letter
from Washington last week, but too
late for publication in that issue, to the
effect that the postal authorities, after
examination of the proofs submitted by
the people of Elk City, Orogrande, and
Buffalo Hump through the MINING
NEWS setting forth the reasons why a
mail route should be established con-
Meeting those camps, concluded to grant
the petition regardless of the protest of
a rather powerful opposition-an oppo-
sition which, though-expected, was none
the less regrettable. 1t is therefore to
be hoped that this will be the last strug-
gle of this nature we will be called up
on to enter into, as the amount of mon
ey and time spent in securing data and
affidavits could have been used to bet
ter advantage building and repairing
roads. Proposals for bids are now pos
ted at Elk City and Calender, all bids
must be in by June 7th, 1904. Service
to begin July 1st, 1904.
| Proposals are invited for three times
a week service, and also twice week
service, and the price will determine
which frequency the department will
contract for.

Notes Of
Interest.
Blue Bird Group Sold.

G. P. Mulcahy of Spokane has pur-
chased the Blue Bird group af claims
from H. P. Mccarthy. We are unable
to state the amount of purchase price
aside from. the initial payment of one
thousand dollars. This group is situated
about one half mile from town and is
said to have an excellent showing.

Another American Eagle.

L. A. Painter, one of the owners of
the Uncle Sam group returned Thnrs-
day from a trip to that property and
reports that the ledge was reached and
crosscut, and shows width of ten feet
of free milling ore plentifully sprinkled
with native gold. AS stated in our last
weeks issue this ledge parallels the
American Eagle on the southeast and
is the same ledge as that upon which
the Carrie-Lizzie group is located, also
the White Horse and American Flag,
thus showing the ledge to be continu-
Gus for a distance exceeding six thou
sand feet with four pay shoots uncov-
cred along its course at almost equi-dis-
tant intervals; and there is no reason
able doubt but that other ore bodies
will be uncovered along the course of
this remarkable vein with further pros
pecting.

Better Service.

With the advent of Mr.. Higdon as
superintendent for the Travis Stage
line between Sites and Elk City, this
section is promised much better stage
service, an improvement, by the way,
which was very much needed.
Among the changes contemplated is
a substantial addition to the present
limited number of stock on the Sites
end, which will make it possible for
passengers to ride with some degree Of
comfort without having their feelings
narrowed by the sight of over worked
horses trying to do more after nature
is virtually exhausted.
New wagons with greater seating
capacity will also be much needed ad-
dition, as, with the establishment of
the mail and stage route between Elk
City and the Hump, there Is, no doubt,
many people going into the Hump by
Grangeville that will want to make the
cirtuit by coming out by Elk City and
thence to Sites. And aside from this
consideration, judging by present indi-
cations, there will be travel enough in
to Elk City and Dixie alone to swamp
the present equipment.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency Of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought Of the world is being given to
the subject, 1t is easier aud better to
prevent than TO cure. IT has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia. one of
the most dan gerous diseases that medi-
cal men have 10 contend with. can be
prevented by the use of Chamberain's
Cough Rem dy. Pneumonia always re
s1lts from n cold or from an attack OF
influenza grip and it has been observed
that this remedy counteracts any tenden-
cy Of these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many thou
sands Of cases in which this remedy has
been used during the great prevalence
of colds and grip in recent years and can
be relied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from a slight
cold when no danger is apprehended I'M
til it il absolutely discovered that there
is fever and difficulty in breathing and
pains in the chest, then it is announced
that the patient has pneumonia. BE on
the safe side and take Chamberlain
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is con-
tracted. 1t always cures. For sale by

taken out about four o'clock in the

he gave back the money he got for
the seed and left The country. Hous-

complete, but stood his ground.
