turned to the European continent. not 20

ing to say Of the Seven Troughs dis

A series of discoveries in the Snow
Squall claims belonging to T. H. Will
liams and Frank Crumpacker, has
suddenly turned the attention OF the
district to Victor Canyon, between
Burnt Canyon and Ferrell at the north
ern end Of this district.
Here Mr.. Williams has opened up
strong fissure vein containing two
feet of $50 ore, and as consequence
lease has been grantd and opera
tions will be started within a few days
and several appulicants are being con-
sidered.
The discovery is held to be an inn
portant one as the gold lies nj solid
quartz and in an entirely free state.
In addition to the opening up of this
ledge, Mr.. Williams has found the
broken over portion of another very
rich ledge several hundred feet to the
east The entire neighboring region
is said to be covered over with rich
float The lessees are Messrs Scott
and Wakefield.
Near the Snow SquaIl group Will

LIABILITY BILL IS
NOW A Law.

President Roosevelt has signed the

ing an opinion from Attorney General
Bonaparte that the measure was con-
stitutiOnal
The bill makes railroads or other
common carriers while engaged in
interstate commerce, liaDle for the in
jury or death of an employe if the
injury or death results wholly or in
part from the legligence or neglect of
any Of the agents, officers or employees
of such agents, or by reason of any
defective or insufficient equipment.
This provision is made applicable to
carriers in the territories, District Of
Cilumbia, the Panama canal zone and
,ther possessions of the United States.
1t is provided that any action that
8 brought under the provisions Of the
bill, the injured employe shall not be
held to have assumed the risk of his
employment in any case where the
violation by the carrier of any statute
enacted for the safety of employees
contribute to the injury or death of
the employe.
device to enable the carrier to ex-
empt itself from liability under the
act is rendered void by specific de-
elaratio nto that end. Provision is
made, however, that the carrier shall
receive credit for any contribution
made to the employe or his family
in the form of relief, insurance or
indemnity. An action for the recovery
of damages must be commenced with
in two years from the date Of the
source of the suit.
In his opinion, the attorney general
indicates that the bill is confined in
its scope to common carriers to rail-
roads, as distinguished from the act
declared unconstitutional by the su-
preme court, which embraces "all
common carriers engaged in inter
state commerce and foreign COM
merce.' The attorney general then
shows through court decisions and
constitutional interpretations that this
restriction does not make this act re-
pugnant to the constitution, and is
n line with state statutes, which have
been upheld by the higher tribunals.
