HOW TO HOLD CLAIM
The Annual Assessment Work is
Not Sufficient.
1T SHOULD BE PATENTED
Ironclad Potency of a United States Pat
ent Is Guarantee to BUYERS.

The annual required $1O0 worth
of work on an unpatented mining
claim to prevent it from lapsing
to be again a part of the public
domain and thus subject to relo-
cation, is not cumulative in it's
effect, says the Mining and Scien-
tific Press. One can do $100
worth of work or improvement
on his claim every year right
along, for twenty years, and if
he omits so doing for any one
year the claim is just as subject
to relocation as if he had done no
work thereon at all. If, on the
other hand, he does not work on
his mining location his title"
thereto is undisturbed so long as
no one else thinks the claim is
worth jumping. If he wants to
take the chances on no one want
ing to relocate it he can let the
claim alone for as many years as
he chooses. How the locator
treats his claim is usually indica-
tive of what he thinks of it him
self. The better way is to do
sufficient development work on it.
to entitle him to apply for a
United States patent thereto. In
case he wants to sell it such pat
ent would be a splendid invest
ment, for ability to show a title
from Uncle Sam goes a good way
with a buyer who is as careful in
the purchase of a mining prop
erty as he would be in buying
any other kind of real estate.
The lenient requirement of all
state and federal enactments re-
garding annual assessment work
is merely to incite development
and discourage the pernicious
practice of holding claims with
out working them. Discovery
and appropriation are the sources
of title to mining claims, and de-
velopment by working, as con-
dition of continued ownership,
until a patent is obtained, the
latter being the ultimate intent.
Objection has been made to
this journal against patenting a
claim that it then Immediately be-
comes taxable. Such arguments
is not tenable. While, as a mat
ter of fact, it does become tax
able," the unpatented claim itself
is subject to taxation, and even
if the patented claim were taxed
a few dollars every year, such
amount would be much less than
the $100 necessary annual assess
ment work. Those objections to
patenting or even to the annual
assessment work itself usually
2 come from those who are trying
to hold several claims without
complying with legal require
ments and endeavoring to hang
on to more mining ground than
they can legally work or claim.
The spirit of the liberal law is
, that each man must make use Of
what he has or else give it up tc
somebody else. Whether it be
the capitalist, the promoter, the
speculator, the miner or the pros
: pector, each has equal rights that
t must be respected.
The man who bonds or buys
wants no question raised as tc
title, so that he cannot be attack
< ed by lawsuits that often crop uI
Y when the property becomes val
\ liable, and in case he wants tc
/, sell or transfer the property the
ironclad potency of a United
States patent is most desirable

In THE EARLY DAYS
Chris Michae1son One of First Men
to Come to Elk Basin.
HERE OVER FORTY YEARS
District Long Enjoyed Reputation For
Its Rich Placer Fields.

Chris Michaelson, who left Fri
day of last week for Reddand,
California, where he will make
his future home, came to the Elk
City district in the year '62, and
resided here continuously until
his departure last week, He was
one of the first white men to set
tie here in the days when placer
mining was first bringing the
place to public notice. The camp
was then, and had been for
years, in the hands of Chinese.
Mr.. Michaelson was mining in
California when the news of the
rich placer diggings in Idaho
reached him, In those days
there were no trains, no tele-
graph, no mail to such obscure
mountain retreats as this was.
Fort Seattle was known only
in the Indian tongue; Tacoma and
Spokane were yet to be. Port
land was an Indian trading point,
and Lewiston was a village of
tents, where the gold seekers
who streamed across the plains
on horse back and in prairie
schooners rested and secured
provisions before beginning their
journey into the mountains.
Mr.. Michaelson, the pioneer,
has a very clear recollection of
how things were in those days,
and his mild manner and dispo-
sition make him very pleasing
man to converse with.
"The news of the rich discov-
cry in Idaho was passed from
camp to camp, and reached us
in California after several
month";" said Mr.. Michaelson.
California was at that time
greatly overdone in the prospect
ing line, and l was one of the
boys who decided to seek fortune
in the new ElDorado. We made
the journey from Frisco to Port
land on coast trader. Astoria
was then the metropolis on the
coast. At Portland we boarded
a river boat and had continuous
passage to Lewiston with the ex-
ception Of the difficulty at Cas-
cade, which compelled us tc
transfer to another boat. Elk
City was then a place of import
ance, though it's sudden flight
had not yet won it a place on the
map. The Nez Perce trail was
the only highway and everything
was carried in and out on horses
backs. All roads led to Ell
City in those days and for sew
eral years the camp was thu
greatest producer of gold in th'
northwest. The camp spreat
out on both banks of Elk creel
and houses were built some dis
tance up the stream. All line
of business were represented ant

The town was full of. restaurant
and hotels and YOU could get a

could get at any hotel in Frisco.
Mr.. Michaelson was sorry cir
cumstances were such that it wa
best for him to leave the distric

is beginning to unfold its possi
bilities as a quartz camp. Thos

IS A BAD CASE.
One Of Destitution Comes to Light In
In Barnes County.

Valley City, N. D., Dec. ia bad
case of destitution was brought to the
notice of the board of county COM
missioners yesterday. On Tuesday of
last week Joseph Neugberger of Scan
dia township died. The family were
In destitute circumstances, and the
remains of the father was laid out by
neighbors and left in the living room
of the wife and five small children
from Tuesday until Thursday. The
Oldest child is but nine years old, and
the youngest is baby of some seven
months. With the exception of three
men not neighbor has been near the
house since Neugberger died. His I'M
fortunate wife had to live alone, with
her five small children in the same
room with her dead husband, tear
down outbuildings for fuel, and tend
the stock which is actually starving
for the want of something to eat. Such
IN substance is the story brought to the
city last evening by F. E. Hardy of
the undertaking department of the
furniture company, who went out and
brought the remains of the man to this
city. Mr.. Hardy says that in all his
experience in caring for dead in the
Sums of Chicago and other large cities
ne never saw such heartbreaking
case. The little baby was crawling
about the floor with no shoes or stock
1ngs and scarcely any clothing.

Right Rev. Henry Moeller, Roman
Catholic archbishop of Cincinnati, was
born in that city Dec. II, 1S49, and
received his early education in the
parochial schools there. Believing his
vocation to be the holy priesthood he
went to Rome and became one of the
first students to enter the famous AM
erican college. At the end of seven
years he left the college with the
highest distinction. On June 10, 1876,
he was ordained to the priesthood in
the church of st. John Lateran, the
cathedral church of Rome. He return
ed to America to assume charge of
st. Patrick's church, Bellefontaine,
Ohio, which place he left after short
time to join the faculty of st. Mary's
seminary, Cincinnati. In 1880 he was
appointed secretary to Archbishop
Elder, and later he was made chancel-
lor Of the diocese. In 1900 DR.. Moeller
was appointed bishop of Columbus and
upon the death of Archbishop Elder
he succeeded the latter as the head of
the archdiocese of Cincinnati.

l|OGERW0OO LADY
STILL MISSING
INSANE
Case is a Sad one-Search for
Her Proved Unavailing-
Was Seen Twice.

Special to The Evening Times.
Lidgerwood, N. D., Dec. 11.-Since
making her sensational Jump through
the vestibule window of a passenger
coach recently, nothing has been heard
or seen of Mrs. Nels Wallin, the wife
of prominent farmer residing near
here. Mrs. Wallin had been in Min
neapolis for few days for medical
treatment, and had become demented.
The Minneapolis authorities took her
up, and learning that her home was in
Lidgerwood, placed her on a train and
sent her there, purchasing ticket for
her. The action of the officials in
thus providing for her is being con-
demned roundly by local people.
After jumping from the train she
was seen just outside of dance hall.
She had climbed into sleigh, and the
owner, not knowing her and seeing
her face all cut up, made her get out
of the rig. Next she was seen at the
Moe residence, where she raped at
the windows, but went away almost
directly. Her face was all cut up with
the glass, and her clothes were badly
torn as a result of a jump from the
swiftly moving train. Drops of blood
were found along where she had gone,
but though the search has been kept
up for a number Of days, no trace of
her has been found.
Mrs. Wallin had never shown any
symptoms of insanity before. Her hus-
band is heart broken over the affair,
and the children, left motherless, have
the heartfelt sympathy of many.

GRANVILLE MYSTERY
BIDS FAIR TO
RISE
Man for Whom $500 Reward
Has Been Offered, it is
Said, is Located.

Granville, N. D., Dec. 11.-That the
neighbors Of August Genetzke, who
have accused him of foul play in con-
nection with the mysterious disap-
pearance of Rudolph Poll several
years ago will be brought to realize
the error Of their belief and that Mr..
Genetzke will have an opportunity to
pay the reward of $500 in cash offered
by him for knowledge concerning the
present whereabouts of Mr.. Poll seems
very likely.
Yesterday a telegram came from
Bemidji, MIMI, addressed to Mr..
Genetzke stating that the sender of the
message was acquainted with the
whereabouts of Poll at this time, and
upon payment of the amount offered
by Genetzke he would produce Poll.
Mr.. Genetzke is very much in earnest
in his endeavor to locate the missing
man, and will doubtless go to Bemidji
and investigate the claims of the
sender of the telegram. OF course the
Poll about whom the Bemiiji man wir-
ed may not be the same man for whom
the reward is offered, but the sender
of the message seemed certain about
the matter.
The entire case is very mysterious
and it is hoped that the Bemidu man
has located the right party and that
the matter of Polls mysterious disap-
pearance will be satisfactorily cleared

even threatened to hold her trunk for
her five weeks stay at home while
making her trousseau.
1t is not thought by any. however,
that Miss Dahl's father had any hand
in her disappearance.
The most persistent rumor is that
a local sutton took advantage of her
fiance's absence and persuaded her to
leave town, while others believe she is
forcibly detained somewhere in the
city.
Mr.. Sailor, the man to whom Miss
Dahl was to have been married, when
told of her disappearance, took the
news calmly, and departed for Mon
tana.
In spite Of the reputation of Miss
Dahl's father, the rest of the family
has always borne an excellent repu-
tatiOn.

yards IN Min0t,

Minot, N. D., Dec. 1.-THE coroner's
jury in the investigation of the death
of the two Italians who were killed at
the Great Northern stockyards in this
city has returned a verdict declaring
the Great Northern railway company
guilty Of criminal negligence, and hold
ing them responsible for the deaths of
the two laborers.
The jury found that the snow plow
which struck the men was going at the
rate of forty miles an hour, and that
the persons in charge of the engine
failed to give proper warning. Jack
Shells, ]. M. Wilson and Frank Martin
signed the verdict.
1t is probable that action will be
taken against the road by relatives
of the dead Italians.
Whether or not q criminal prose-
cution will be started Is not known at

supposed to have died of natural caus-

neapolis has had the body exhumed
and an examination made with the re-
suit that the neck was found to be
broken, besides other evidences of foul
play. Lavalle was a heavy drinker, and
it was thought at the time that death
was due to acute alcoholism. He was
a well known character both here and
at Lidgerwood, and little credence is
given to the foul play theory by those
who knew him best.
