Good Body of Ore in

Mine.
Interest in Properties in that
Section Taking a New
Lease on Life.

Reports from the EIkhorn, the
Elk Mountain property which was
making such a good showing, AS
reported in last weeks Sun, still
continue to come in. Specimens
of suIphides brought in are of the
most ncouraging sort. The lead
which was struck in the drift, has
widened out to between seven and
eight feet of almost solid ore, and
some remarkably fine specimens
of bornite are being taken out.
Ray Campbell, the secretary of
the company, and W. W. Petty,
manager, have both been in this
week. Both feel very much en-
couraged over the outlook at the
Elkhorn. Mr.. Petty says they
have no idea, as yet, of the width
of the vein. They have nearly
eight feet OF sulphldes and the vein
is still widening. The Elkhart,
owned by the same people, is on
the same lead and they are all con-
fdent that whatever showing, is
made by the Elkhorn will be found
in the Elkhart when that claim is
worked.
This strike of rich sulphides in
Elk Mountain is sure to draw pros
pectors in that direction, and there
is not a miner in the country, with
a prospect hole in Elk Mountain

A NEW RULING.

offices of a change in ruling with
regard to homestead entries COM

ton clause of the homestead laws.
1T was believed that unatr the
old construction of the comm ata-
ton provision, which recognized
constructive residence, persons de-
SIrlng to secure public lands for
speculative purposes were furnish
ed with inducements and facilli-
ties not found under other land
laws, and that a large percentage
OF homestead entries committed to
cash were in their first inception,
made for the purpose only OF Sc
curing title to the land and not

TO MAKE TEST
Owners OF the Mohawk Mine at
Gold Hill will Make a
Sample Run.

j. d. Hitch, of Chicago, and
Dwight Farnum, of Denvea, arriv-
ed last week and went up into the
Gold Hill country Friday, accom-
panied by W. 81. Gaeene and w.
H Bradford. Their purpose is to
make a test run of the ore from
the Mohawk mine, and if every
thing proves satisfactory machin-
cry will be put in and the mine
developed as rapidly as possible.
Mr.. Hitch and Mr.. Bradford re-
turned Tuesday. Mr.. Bradford
had set up the old Downey stamp
mill, and this will be used in test
ing the Mohawk ore. Mr.. Hitch
is a man of means. He purchased
the interest in the Mohawk owned
by G. w. Scott, the jeweler OF
this place. several years ago and
has been holding it until such 9
time as he could undertake the de.
velopment of the property.
Mr.. Farnum is an expert mining
engineer, and all will depend on
his report of the ore test. Twelve
men are now engaged in the work
at the Mohawk, and the number
will he increased as the work re
quires.

Caught Two Horse Thieves.

Axel Carlson, foreman for Cos
gritf Bros. Sheep company, came
in Saturday from Walden, Colo,
with five of the eleven head of
horses that were stolen from the
stables of Cosgritf Bros. at Wal
colt recently. Deputy Sheriff j.
G. Timbrel, of Walden, who had
been notified of the theft, captur-
ed two of the thieves and five of
the horses, at that place, where
they were taken in chage by Carl
son and Sheriff Horton. Horton
took the men to Rawlins by way
of Laramie.
Mr.. Carlson said hat in trailing
the thieves they found that the
party had not stopped after leav-
ing Walcott until they reached the
head of French creek. This was a
very severe drive and one of the
horses was found dead on the road,
having been driven to death.
There were were supposed to
have been four men in the party,
but they have NJ trace of the other
two men and five horses.
The men caught were Mexicans
who worked for Cosgriff's sheep
company last summer, n as
herder, and the other as camp
mover.

LANDS
What is Required
in Order to Make
Final Proof
Must Expend Equivalent of s.
an Acre-Land Should
be Cultivated.

During the past three years the
regulations relating to final proof
upon desert land claims have baen
changed SO frequently that few
entryman are aware of just what
is required by the land depart
ment. Even the clerks of court,
United States commissioners and
the local land offices are not
certain as to the requirements in
the matter of water rights.
After careful study of the mat
ter, The Republican gives the fol-
lowing as the requisites in making
final proof under this act. and if
scrupulously followed it is prob
able claimants will have no trouble
will have no trouble IN securing
patent:
First. 1t must be shown that
claimant has expended in perma-
nent improvements, such as water
right, ditching, grubbing sage
brush, first blowing of the land,
fencing, etc, an amount equal
ing three dollars an acre
Second. 1t must be shown that
claimant has irrigated all the land
within his claim susceptible of
practical irrigation and that he
has raised an agricultural crop up
on at least one-eighth of the entry.
If there are any high places or
rocky portions that cannot be ir-
rigated, the facts relating thereto
should be explicitly set forth in
the proof, and if there are any en-
tire subdivisions that cannot be
reclaimed, they must be relin-
pushed.
Third. If an agricultural crop
cannot be raised upon the land be-
cause of it's altitude or other unus-
al conditions, then a merchantable
crop of hay will be accepted in
lieu thereof, but all the facts as to
why an agricultural crop cannot
be raised on one-eighth of the land
must be fully set forth. An Gin
creased growth of grass will not
be accepted az sufficient in any
event.
Fourth. Claimant must show
title to a permanent right to the
use of sufficient water to irrigate
all the land in his claim that is
susceptible of irrigation. If this
title is secured under the state
law through the state engineers
Office, then a copy of the c%ertii-
cate of appropriation from the
board of control should be furnish.

been issued, a copy of the permit

the appropriation has been report
ed to the state engineers Office
Care should be taken to have the
permit issued fos a sufficient acre
age to cover all the land in the en-
try that can be irrigated, for tn,
reason that the land office will no
accept proof for a water right TO
a less acreage than can be reclaim
ed.
There is a current impression
that proof of completion of APPROX
ration of water must come thr
the Office of the state engineer i
the form of a report submitted b
a water commissioner and verife
by a certificate from the engineer
