be located until after the discovery of
a vein or lode within the limits of the
claim, the object of which provision is
evidently to prevent the appropriation
Of presumed mineral ground for specu-
lative purposes, to the exclusion Of bona
ide prospectors, before sufficient work
has been done to determine whether a
vein or lode really exists.
The claimant should, therefore, prior
to locating his claim unless the vein
can be traced upon the surface, sink a
| shaft or run a tunnel or drift to a suf-
ficient depth therein to discover and
develop a mineral bearing vein, lode or
c~revice.
2. The claimant should drive a post
or erect a monument of stones at each
corner of the surface ground, and at the
point of discovery or discovery shaft
should fix a post, stake or board, upon
which should be designated the name
| of the lode, the name or names of the
locators, the number of feet claimed,
and in which direction from the point
of discovery; should state whether en-
tire claim of 1900 feet is taken on one
side of the point of discovery, or
whether it is partly upon one or partly
upon the other side thereof.
3. Locators cannot exercise too
much care in defining their locations at
the outset, inasmuch as the law requires
that all records of mining locations
made subsequent to May 10, 1872, shall
contain the name or names of lOcators,
the date of location, and such a de-
scription of the claim or claims located,
by reference to some natural object or
permanent monument, as will identify
the claim.
q. g., Crete, III. If you sent your
! certificates of Mohawk-F1orence, Mo
hawk Daisy and Mohawk Gold Bar to
the outfit in Chicago you speak of
heaven knows what has become of
them. He has anything but a savory
reputation. He was put out of bust
ness in Chicago by the postofice de-
partment, we understand, for publish
ing a promotion paper and getting
newspaper rates under the pretense
that it was a legitimate publication. He
has been in trouble a number of times.
He had the SWEETEST Offices in Chicago
and put up a great front, but left that
city in debt and bad odor. George
Viekers, head of the Nevada Goldheld
Lease company is out Of the camp, and
no one will give out any information
about his new company, consolidating
his various leases. We understand that
this new company is claiming to have
a lease upon the workings of the Com
bination Fraction, which If true, would
be important: but unfortunately it is
not true, although at n time Mr..
vickers was negotiating for the lease.
d. J. B., Pinconing, Mich. We know
little or nothing about the Goldfeld
Golden Glow. We have seen the stock
advertised in eastern promotion pub
locations, but do not think that any
thing has been done to speak of on the
property, or it would be known either
in this Office or among the mining men
of the camp. We are inclined to think
it is a wildcat. 1t seems to have been
put out by the Financial Security and
Trust company of Denver, and we be-
lieve that the manager or man behind
this institution was w. F. McQuarrie.
II 80, the Golden Glow is not in good
hands, as McQuarrie is under indict-
ment of the United States grand jury,
along with some other Denver mining
sharks, for fraudulent use of the mails.
e. q. s., Butte. Yes. In a decision
handed down by the supreme court of
Massachusetts, the first Of this month,
the following rulings were made:
Labor unions have no right to decide
an individual grievance between en-
ployer and employee; no right to strike
against the open shop or go out on a
sympathetic strike, and no right to
force the employer to submit to a dele
gate body of employees in disputes. The
decision is the result of a suit brought
by nine contracting and building firms
doing business in Lynn, Mass, against
the Building Trades Council of that
city. The suit followed a strike which
resulted from the posting of the open
shop rule MAY 1. 1906.
p. r. T.. San Francisco. We know of
no Gold Breast mining property in
Goldfeld or elsewhere. Is it a com-
pany Of that name, or is that the name
of the claimf If it is a corporation
and you have stock in it, examine your
stock certificate for the name of the
president or secretary and the place of
issue, and send us the data and we will
run it down.
