PROTECTS PROSECUTORS

The Land Department at Wash
fngton has confirmed the decision
of the local land office at Helena,
Mont, which held that a mineral
locator, who had complied with the
law in stalking his claim, posting
his notice and filing a copy of it
in the Registrars office, is not COM
PEELED to produce minerals in pay
ing quantities and so prove that he
has a mine and that the land he
has claimed is worth more for min
ing than for othef purposes, but
that he need only show that the
indications are good enough to jus
sify him in the development of the
property into a paying mine.
The ruling Is liberal and is in
accordance with various decisions
in State and Federal courts, some
of which may be quoted:
"The prospector on the public
domain can hold to the extent OF
his claim in actual possession,
brior to the discovery of mineral
IN place
Whatever is recognized as min
eral by the standard authorities.
where the same occurs in Quantity
and quality to render the land in
question More valuable on Its own
account than for agricultural pur-
poses, is mineral within the mean
ing of the mining laws"
upon discovering a lode the
locator is entitled to a reasonable
length of time to perfect the de-
velopmlent which the law requires
of him."

in following them in the expecta-
tion of finding ore
While it is necessary to find ore
In place. the law does not require
that any cettain amount Of ore be
mined and that it should have any
specifedyalue-TAe insistance of
that would defeat the object of tire
law. The fact that mineral has
been discovered and that the pros
pector is using due diligence to
honestly comply with the law by
developing it to the best of his
ability and judgment is sufficient
TO protect him in maintaining his
right to the land claimed.

While excavating on the big ca
nal a number of weeks ago, a la
borer uneaithed a petrifed stump,
around which was entwined a pet
rifed snake. This story is
vouchsafed for by many who claim
to have seen it. The laborer dis
posed of the curiosity in Wads-
worth for SIo.-Fallon Standard.
This story takes second place to
the one they tell in Arizona of the
s'petrifed forest of petrifed trees,
on the petrifed limbs of which
are petrifed birds singing petri-
fed songs"

BILL nACEE OF PINE NUT.
tsam Davisim Sunset Magazine.)

tsam Davisin Sunset Nagazne)
Twas a dreafy day at Pine Nut, ad Gloom was everywhere;
There vas sadness in the little camp aid sorrow in the air.
A more dohful set OF faces ON would not care to see,
The day the boys laid ont the corpse OF poor old Bill Magee.
Twas pneumonia or whisky-they couldn't quite decide
That sem the aeeting soul of Bill Across the Great Divide;
But with very little wranging over lies extnsuished lamp,
They arranged a mighty funeral to advertise the camp.
I know of places where a a who shuHes OF" his coil
Is pitched face down with boots on in scarce a foot of soil;
But now the boys Of Pine Nut said such things had had their day,
And they'd bury Bill with socks on in the decent Christian way.
So they hircd a Carson preacher, of noted funeral skill,
And agree on forty dollars for som extra words for Bill.
There are sonic parsons in the land thatd 60 little higher,
But this a IA N CRATER but my own ilustrious sire.
At two o'clock the coffin passed through Bills wide cabin door,
With Otto Shuz and Joe Raycraft and Jackson at the fore.
Tony Cramcr, with his goggles, helped to hold the coffin up,
Then followed tall Miles johnson and his little brindle pup.
Pratt, with a Ietmah honrsack sewed firmly on his pants;
Bib Peekham, Badly Adams, Lew Stevenson, Old Nance;
And loomin' ahead OF all, the big long bearded Fern,
Ali headini toward the bourn from which no travellers rethfn:
They finally reached the grave that yawned beneath a spreading tree,
The parson told how pure had been the life of Bill Maggie;
AMl as they heard the kindly things the clergyman had said,
They almost thought that angels wings va sproutin' from the dead.
They lowered the coffin down with hands as steady as a clocks,
And then began to shovel in the gravel on the box,
When suddenly they stopped the work. Somebody holered "Whew!'
And then a golden nugget came a'fashin' into view
Joe Ravcraft, straldin' DER the grave called out, 1T locate hefe;'
And then Lew Stevenson gave Joe a swat upon the ear;
Next Johnson jumped aboard OF Lew in a most decided way,
And then the savage brindle pup plunged headlong in the fray.
Then Badly Adams pulled his gun, and Billy Pcckham his,
And in bout half a second this lead begin to whiz.
For several humning minutes it was a fearful fray,
With all upon tie ground before this smoke had cfGat"d away.
The rarson, when he heard the shots, whipped UP Ills old gray mare,
To fhd the coroner and send that functionary there.
And when that official reached the spot, Immediately did lie
Tack a location notice on the headstone of Magee;
Reniarkin' I'd the wounded: II regret you can't agree.
I'll record these placer diggin's and consider 1t my fee.'
And so Before the sun was down the records was compht,
All in accordance with the law at Douglas countyseat.
And new that thrifty coontr; dis MANY are aware,
Is lHn' off that placer taim, a multi-millionaire,
While the Iarson oft has mentioned, confdentialy to me-,
From that eventful day to this he never got his fee.

HedrSt'S Idea of Labor

When Hearst comes out here from
New York the time OF his arrival Is
duly arranged for and everything and
everyone is on dress parade for his
inspection. On his last trip he went
down into the basement to take look
at his triple-expansion three-color ro-.
tary presses and all hands were piped
to quarters In parade costumes except
one fellow in the crew who. to put
1t In the words of one of his mates,
WAS fuller AN goose and could
have licked the hull Japanese navy
with a bung-starter." He was in a
bad condition and In trying to navi-
gate had grasped an ink duct and af-
terwards rubbed his hands over his
collar. face and shirt bosom. Hearst
viewed the assembly with somewhat Of
a shade OF dissatisfaction until his
glance fell upon the ink-besemared
renegade. at whom the others were
frowning. Hearst called up the fore
man. asked him the unfortunate's
name and bowed himself out. You're
done for" shouted the foreman to the
inebriate. who was about sober enough
to think he was. He reported a day
or two later to draw what was coming

went off on another spree over receiv-
ing personal note from Hearst stat
ing his salary had been raised five dol
lars a week and commencing him for
being the only man in the pressroom
who bore the appearance of being in
dustrious enough to soil his face and
hands. They are awaiting Hearsts
next visit. and If he isn't greeted by
a lot Of coal-heavers it will be because
the makeup is not to be had in town.

Band is Progressive

The Winnemucca Brass band hell its
regular practice meeting last night in
the Armory hall. There was full at
tendance and great enthusia.m was
shown. A new cornet arrived yester-
day from Philadelphia. and is pro-
nounced by Leader Hill splendid in
strument. The boys ,lso received a
lot OF new music which they 2rarticed
on last night. There IL mora on TIE
way.
Before long winnemucca will be able
to boast Of band at least the equal
Of any band In the state. Some are so
interested in the project that they have
sent for instruments Of their own, this
possession giving them more opportun-
ity to practice. The citizens should do
everything in their power to assist the
band on its road to prominence and
prosperity.

Armory Hall Bur9larized

A John Doe warrant was today
placed in the hands OF Constable La

close Of the dance Tuesday night some
miscreants broke into the hall and
stole lot Of the good things left over.
They effected an entrance by break

The size of the aperature thus made
would indicate that some boys were
weak enough to resort to thievery to

However, Mr.. Rose intends to put a
stop to the practice, as the same
thing happens after each dance or

A Daily Paper Too Much

w. T. Stead, the famous London
at experimenting with a daily paper,
and after getting ii out for thirty-two
issues he has closed 1t down and ad-
mits he has made a failure of his at
tempt to conduct a diurnal newspaper.
He established The Daily Paper in
London In anticipation that he would
prove as successful in that fled as he
had with the weekly magazine. The
result is he lost small-sized fortune
and shattered his health so that he has
been directed by his physician to pick
It up in bits in South Africa. where he
will be far removed from the scene OF
his worries and anxieties, which lasted
a little over a month.
Mr.. Stead declares that the excite
ment and strain Of a daily paper were
too much for him. and II he had NOT
personally retired from all control af-
ter the first week. he believes he would
have been a fit subject for an insane
asylum, all Of which goes to show that
Mr.. Stead was foolish in not coming
over to this side of the water and get
ting a full outfit in the way of Il cast
iron conscience. set Of rubber tired
nerves and a fakir's ball-bearing i'm
agination from some of our daily news
paper men before he assumed the
grave responsibility Of operating a
daily paper.

A Million q Trifle

Some idea of the way j. Pierpont
Morgan regarded millions In the hey
day OF his prosperity is illustrated by
an event which occurred shortly after
the organization of the United States
Steel company.
J. Ogden Hoffman, the Philadelphia
representative Of the Carnegie Steel
works, before that company was taken
into the combine. and when that hap
pened he went to New York to have
his Carnegie shares transferred for
United States Steel certificates. He
went to J. Pierpont Morgan's office
and sent In his name. He was ad-
mitted and the busy financier greeted
him with brusque query as to what
he wanted. When told, he said:
Just step into the outer office, Mr..
Hoffman; the young clerk there will
attend to the transfer for you.'
When the Philadelphian had his
steel certificates safely in his inside
pocket he returned to the inner sane
tum and addressing the great promo
ter said:
Mr.. Morgan, 1 have come in to
thank you for making me million
aire" ss.
'Oh, that's all right, my boy" said
the great one rising and putting his
hand on the shoulder Of his visitor.
I'VE are always glad to do those little
things for our friends" = e.
