The registration for the winter
term opened last Monday and by Tues
day morning all the classes were run
ming with mid term regularity OF
course the attendance at the college
is considerably less than it was during
the winter term but the attendance
now shows very satisfactory Increase
over the usual spring term attendance.
AT present the college inter-
est is conferred in the new
buildings that are to be erected
and in the changes that are to be
made in some of the old buildings. OF
particular interest to the general stu
dent body are the changes contemplate
ed in the armory. The remodeling of
this building Is in the hands Of the
superintendent of buildings, Mr.. Tibert
and when his plans are completed,
there will be drill floor of 62x105 feet.
This floor will be fully twice as large
as the present floor. The locker and
bath room equipment will also be
greatly improved and more suitable
offices will be provided for the COM
mandant and the athletic director.
The state board is in session today,
when the bids for all the proposed inn
provements will be opened and some
thing definite will then be known as
to what the college will be able to do
with the funds appropriated by the
recent legislative session for these pur-
poses.

1t has become quite question with

this necessity arises from the following

Placer Location.

Mining and Scientific Press. In
reply to the question: Is a placer
location good located 1,500 feet
by 600 feet on surveyed land,
when local custom has been to
locate on legal subdivisions Of
20 acres to one man, and 100
acres to a company of eight
names? -
The answer is as follows:
There is no law in California re-
quiring either the posting or re-
cording of a notice of location,
consequently no rule by which
the validity of a notice can be
tested except by applying gen.
eral principles announced by the
Land Department or the Courts
Of States, having laws regulating
the subject.
:, The later rulings of the Depart
ment of. the Interior uniformly
reject the notice of a placer loca-
ton on surveyed lands which
does not describe some legal sub
division of the public surveys. A
description by metes and bounds
not conforming to the rectangu-
lar legal subdivisions would be
rejected, as the basis of an ap-
plication for patent. This rule
has at times hsen relaxed where
the claim lies in the bed of q
stream or gorge with precipitous
cliffs for it's sides, which are
practically inaccessible, for ex-
ample, the Grand Canon of the
Colorado river. But otherwise
it. is rigidly enforced. The,,Su-
preme Court of California has on
one occasion, at least, given to
the law somewhat more liberal
construction GAP Cal. 4O4), But
even applying such liberal rule,
the notice in question falls short
of the requirements as the basis
of q patent application, or of 8
record, if such record is author.
