SERVED WITH NOTICE TO QUIT.
Locators of st. David's Claim on Ruby
Hill Told to Vacate.

Several weeks ago Martin Mahouey
and David Morris made q mining
location on Ruby Hill that will probably
be taken into court to luiet title.
The claim in question was located as
the st. David and consists Of the
fractions Of three claims. 1t Is part of
the old Albion property, which was ac-
quired years ago by the Richmond Com
pany and now claimed by the United
States Mining and Smelling Company
under the transfer recently made Of the
Eureka Con. and Richmond properties
on Ruby Hill.
The Albion group has long been re-
garded as patented ground, but q short
time ago the discovery is said to have
been made that the Richmond Com.
pany applied for the patents. which
were never issued, and il is coutended
that Albion ground was r~e-locatable
for years as the annual assessment
work was not done as required by law.
On these grounds Messrs. Mahoney
and Morris made their location and
about the same time A. F. Holden,
general manager of the United States
Company. located the Marriage. Bride.
groom and ACCOMPLISHMENT claims, also
old Albion ground.
The United States Company I'M
doubtedly located the "vacant" ground
to keep out jumpers and avoid litiga.
ton, as it is claimed that the work that
has been lone ON contiguous claims
amply protected the Albion group.
This is now the point at issue between
the United States Company and the
locators of the st. David, Mahoney and
Morris. The latter commenced to do
their location work last week and after
working two or three days they were
notified to quit.
The first Of this week William San.
dry, who has charge Of the Richmond
mine for the United States Company.
accompanied by two witnesses, wen to
the st. David and served q notice on
Mahoney and Morris to quit work and
vacate the ground. The latter refused
to comply and are going on with the
location work. The Company has not
as yet done anything further in the
matter. aud several surmises have been
made by people who are watching the
case.

lntO the big Ditcn.
The warning against making the big
ditch on Spring street o garbage dump
ing ground. which the County Com

proved by the people generally. Ty.
phi old fever and diphtheria are prev.
alent in many places In Nevada, and
in some communities an epidemic is
feared unless the sickness is soon con
trolled. Both diseases often arise from
accumulations Of putrid matter and
filth, and are fostered by neglect to
enforce the sanitary laws which have
been enacted for the public health
when precautionary measures are needed
The County Commissioners have just
had the big ditch thoroughly cleaned
and the quantity Of garbage that had to
be hauled away should never have been
put there. The Spring-street ditch is
community property, dug and kept in
repair to protect the town from food
waters, aud it should not be used as o
garbage hole by any N The Com
missioners have acted at an opportune
time and the warning will benefit every
