PROSPECTORS ARE
KICKING AT
"CLAIM HOGS"

Prospectors who have entered the
Pinenut district this spring seem very
dissatisfied with the manner in which
some of the best mineral land is being
held. They say that the property IS
relocated year after year by the same
people and no work whatever done to
hold it. If the incoming prospector
attempts to work any of the property
so located, they are Immediately
branded as claim jumpers and threat
ened with personal injury, and rather
than go up against such a deal they
travel to other parts of Nevada, locate
and develop mining property and as
sist in the work that means so much
to our state, and locality in which the
mine is situated. We believe it is
safe to assert that if some of the
"claim hogs who hold forth in Pine
nut would %relinquish their "right'' to
a small part of their alleged holdings
and give the boniide prospectors a
change to develop the mineral resourc-
es of that section, they would be doing
themselves an unreasonable justice,
likewise the entire COMMUNICATED
ord Courier.

The 4>ilgrim custom was for many a
yea observed in all the New England
states, but the fervor of it's observ-
anee long ago began to abate. Some
years ago Massachusetts abolished
fast day and set up Patriots day,
April 10Th, or Lexington and Concord
day.
In Maine for at least 20 years there
has been much more of playing ball
than "public humiliation, fasting and
prayer" on fast day. The Legislature
in 1907 abolished the ancient custom
and followed Massachusetts, in making
April 10 a holiday.

A dispatch to the San Francisco
Chronicle from Los Angeles says that
George j. Gould's Western Pacific rail
road is working towards that city, ac-
cording to reports from the Owens
River valley, through which it is ex-
pected to enter southern California.
Surveyors working in that vicinity
admit that they are out for Gould and
are improving upon a preliminary sur
vey already made by the Southern Pa
cifc, but along very independent lines.
Apparently it will mean a race be-
tween the two.
The Gould line evidently will make
a detour from Reno. This will mean
another transcontinental line from Los
Angeles, creating a second short route
from Salt Lake City and Ogden and
having no connection with the Harri-
man-Clark line.
If there is to be a fight for the
territory, existig advantages seem TO
lie with the Southern Pacific, which
already has a line to Keller, Inyo
county, and the gap to Mojave on
the south is only 100 miles.
Northward through Los Angeles
outskirts has been a quiet movement
some time to tie up property, and this
is believed to be for the Western Pa
cifc's entrance, will terminals near
those of the Southern Pacific. Many
thousands Of dollars have been put
in options.

NEW YORK, January IA reduction
in the Bank Of England's minimum rate OF
discount to per cent from per cent, at
which figure 1t has been fixed since October
10 last, had little influence upon the Lon
don stock market and was apparently a
negligible factor in the local dealings. The
action Of the Bank of England was nat
urally accompanied by strong weekly
showing by that institution, its proportion
of reserves to liabilities rising to 1870 per
cent. against 39.97 per cent last week and
as compared with 42S7 per cent in the cor
responding week of last year.
The early cable advices reported the
London stock market as being generally
sluggish and the dealings in American
stocks there showed no special feature.
Operations in this market for foreign &C.

The local money market was extremely
easy. the rates for loans on call ranging be-
