r,ob,-Hour Law. Troubles.

High officials of the Federal Govern
me Mt. OF directly connected with the
present Administration, under whose
supervision large contracts for Govern
ment work are made, have reiterated
their opinion that the recent order OF
President Roosevelt directing Govern
ment inspectors to report all violations
of the Eight-Hour law by Government
contractors, was political move made
entirely for the purpose of gaining the
labor vote for the Republican party.
This order has caused great coLfusion
in the executive departments having
to do with public works. 1t Is notice
able that the orders Issued in these de-
partments in compliance with the
Presidents directions take no respon-
sibility for the class Of Government
contracts which may be considered
within the Eight-Hour law.
One of the most important questions
in this connection is whether or not
a warship, being bAilt by private con-
tract for the United States Govern
eminent, should be considered as fall
ing within the prohibitory provisions
of the Eight-Heur law. is under
stood that this question will be refer
red by the Navy Department to the
Department of Justice for an opinion
I. such is the case it is predicted by
some of those in authority that the AT
torney General will conclude that
work on war-ships beng built by pri-
vate contract for the Government can
not be considered within the class
known as "public works." and that,
therefore, the eight-hour Limitation
for labor cannot be enforced ON such
contracts.

GOLD POINT WORK.
Mill Placed on Property This Week.,

C. N. Whipple and Arthur Hitler, the
two Orogrande men who are placing a
mill on the Gold Point property, two
miles west of Elk City, are getting
along so we'll with the work that there
is good prospect they will establish a
record for quick results in this district.
The mill was brought this week from
Orogrande, and the managers expect to
be treating ore in another week.
Speaking of the property on which
they are to operate their mill, one of
the owners was confident they could not
have made better selection. ''Wher
we decided to test the machine we be-

prospect, for we understood the results

supreme court of the United States de-
cided the habeas corpus case of Meyer,
Haywood and Pittibone, the representa-
tives of the Western Federation of Min

was handed down by Justice Harlan and
there was but one dissenting opinion.
The men asked for habeas corpus writ

SHAFT FOR CONCORD.
Hump Property win Have 200 Feet
More Work Done This Winter.

j. A. Eldridge, superintendent of the
Concord mine in the Buffalo Hump dis
trict, was an arrival in this city last
Friday, states the Grangeville Standard
ard-News. The Concord is one of the
most promising properties in that camp.
At present there is a 30O-foot shaft sunk
on fine gold-bearing ledge, and the
company has ordered large pumping
outfit so that they can sink the shaft
200 feet more. The machinery was
ordered sometime ago and Mr.. Eldridge
came here for the purpose of finding
out whether it had arrived at Sites.
AS soon as the machinery arrives it will
be Immediately taken to the mine and
installed. 1t is the intention of the
stockholders of the Concord to block out
considerable ore this winter and next
summer install stamp mill. The ore
will also be treated by the cyanide
process. A great deal of development
work is being carried on at present in
the different mines in the camp.
5OO-Foot Tunnel on Colonel.
In speaking of the Colonel mine, a
property of that district owned by an
Iowa company, Mr.. Eldridge stated that
that company has completed consider
able surface work and a 500-foot tunnel
with several crosscuts and that the
property is showing up in fine shape,
and that it gives promise of becoming
one of the best in the country. Theo-
dore Parks is the general manager of
the Colonel mine and left Grangeville
last Wednesday, accompanied by fifteen
men, to continue the development of the
mine.

START CHICKEN RANCH.
r. F. Romero VIII Raise Poultry on a
Large Scale

R. F. Romero, who last summer
moved from Orogrande to Elk City, has
bought of Al Glenn eighty acres of land
on the long meadows along American
river, mile south of Elk City, and will
establish chicken ranch there in the
spring. The tract of land extends be-
yond the American river bridge and a
part of it has been farmed by Warren
Bullock. Mr.. Romero will take up forty
acres more, making a homestead of 120
acres. He is now building a cabin and
later will erect several buildings that
will be used in the chicken business.
The scarcity of poultry and eggs in
Elk City at all seasons of the year, the
high prices and the prospect of increased
demands for poultry products in the near
future have impressed Mr. Romero that
the venture would be profitable one.
Fresh eggs are now selling as high as
sixty cents, and the price of dressed
chicken is tout of sight, Mr.. and
Mrs. Romero have been in the poultry
business before. They now have forty
hens and expect to add 200 more to thei1
flock in the spring.

MINING NEWS IN BRIEF
FROM NEARBY DISTRICTS

Der of mine owners to test the machine
on their property. We visited nearly
all the properties from whose owners
these invitations came, number in the
Marshall Lake district, some in Warren,
some in Florence, a great many in our
home (Orogrande) district, and num-
in the Elk district. In the Elk district
we found great many good prospects,
but the Gold Point was selected because
of it's high values and the comparative
ease with which the gold can be ex-
tracted, much of the ore panning.
Samples from the property have run
from S92 to 5000, and sufficient develop
ment work has been done to prove the
permanency of the vein.'
A great many who have seen the new
machine in operation have visited the
Gold Point property this week. The
venture is attracting the interest of all
local men for if the new mill proves to
be a success it will be the machine of
the future in mining.

The work in the raise on the Buster
mine has progressed so rapidly the past
week that Manager S. w. Smith ex-
poets the raise will touch the upper tun-
mel by the middle of the coming week
The ground the raise passes through has
been easy to move, five feet being
gained every twenty-four hours. The
rock the men are now working in is
harder to move, and some powder is
being used.
Some work is being done in drift
beyond where the raise was started.
Mr.. Smith states that it has been his
inability to secure experienced men
more than anything else that has delayed
the starting of work on the 300-foot
shaft, which is to be continuation of
the raise now being made. But every
thing is in good shape now and as soon
as the raise is completed the men work
ing in it will be employed on the shaft.
Surface indications on the Buster
the machinery plant and the work going
on about it-are the very best. Good
timber is being furnished the sawmill
and there is now on hand great piles of
lumber and timber, nearly enough to
complete the development work that is
planned. The buildings are all ready
for cold weather. Every advantage Of
fered to save fuel has been improved.
The plant has been in need of black
smith the past week, but a man has
been sent for and he will arrive in few
days.

OROCRANDE PROPERTIES,
District Has Better Showings Than at
Any Other Time in It's History.


Orrin Lamb, clerk in the postoffice at
Orogrande, and also owner of several
mining properties in that district, was
a business visitor in Elk City over night
last Saturday, returning to Orogrande
Sunday afternoon. Mr. Lamb says the
citizens of Orogrande, nearly all of
whom are claim owners, are busy with
assessment and development work at
present, and the district, as whole, is
showing up well. Speaking about the
report that the Crooked River company
is to start its mill soon, Mr.. Lamb said
it seemed to be general opinion among
the miners that the Crooked River COM
pany will begin operating again early in
the spring. ''I believe when this COM
pany begins operating again Orogrande
district will attract more attention from
mining men and enjoy a season of pros
pSllty DSIISl Iidli CNCi DC1OlS, odiO
Mr.. Lamb. 'The district looks better
now than it ever did. When the Hogan
property attracted attention in the min
ing world before, the district had but
few good showings for mining men to
inspect. Now it is different; the closing
down of the Hogan mill gave a number
of property owners opportunity to i'm
prove and develop their claims, and the
recent sales and the many good show
ings in the district show how well they
have improved their time. Yes sir, the
next time Orogrande comes into the
limelight mining men will find plenty
that will suit them"
Mr.. Lamb owns the Diamond Hitch
group of six claims two miles east of
Orogrande, on the west side of Quartz
creek. The property is good showing
in copper and gold with more or less ga
lena. Mr.. Lamb has $50 feet of work
done on the property.

Utah Supreme Court Rules On Mat
tiers Important to Miners.
LOCATIONS OF CLAIMS
Opinions on a Matter Not Alway:
Clearly Understood.

Mining World: In a contest by
adverse claimants over the dis
covery and location, in a case re-
Gently decided by the supreme
court of Utah, the following pro-
positions and points of law were
decided: (D That discovery of
a vein or lode on unoccupied and
unappropriated mineral lands of
the United States is a prerequi-
site to valid location of a min
ing claim. (2) That a location
based upon a discovery within the
limits of an existing and valid To-
cation is void. (3) That what
has been located once under the
law shall not be relocated until
the first location has expired,
until the rights of the former
owner or locator have come to an
end, and until in law he has for
feited or abandoned his claim and
left the property open for an
other to take up. Until such
abandonment or forfeiture the
ground is not subject to reloca-
ton, for it is essential that at the
time of the location the ground
located should be part of the
Ypublic domain.
Hence, relocation on lands
actually covered at the time by
another valid and subsisting loca-
ton is void; and this not only
against the prior location, but all
the world, because the law al
lows no such thing to be done.
(4) That when forfeiture has
been occasioned the claim or mine
upon which such failure occurred
shall be open to relocation in the
same manner as if no location
had ever been made, provided
that the original locators, their
heirs or assigns, or legal repre-
sentatives, have not resumed
work upon the claims after fail
ure and before such location.
(5) That a location to be good
must be good when made, and
that each claimant must stand on
his own location and can take
only what it will give him under
the law. These propositions are
readily deducible from sections
2319, 1920, 1922 and 1924, Re
vised Statutes, United States, and
are supported by decisions from
both federal and state courts, and
by text-writers.
