MEASUREMENTS CORRECTED
New Law Regarding Fees for
Recording Proof of Labor
Published in Full

The SENTINEL last week published an
item from one of its exchanges. which,
in fact. has been copied by nearly all the
newspapers in the State. regarding the
amount Of fees hat county aud district
mining recorders may collect for the
fling Of proofs Of labor on mining
claims. From the published article
referred to above the inference was that
the cost Of such recording had been
reduced by an Act Of the late Nevada
Legislature. This, however. is not the
case. as will be seen by the new Law
relating to the matter. which the
SENTINEL low publishes iu full, as
follows:
Section l.. From and after the passage
and approval Of this Act the County
Recorders and District Mining Recorders
of this State shall charge the fc" wing
fees for recording certificates 4 proof
of labor on mining claims: One dollar
for recording any such certificate that
embraces therein one claim. aud an
additional fee Of 20 cents for each and
every additional mining claim embraced
in said certificates; and provided further
that if any such certificate shall contain
more than 100 words an additional fee
of 80 cents shall be charged for each
100 words or fractional part thereof in
excess of said first 100 words.
Section 2. All Acts and parts of
Acts in conflict with the provisions of
this Act are hereby repealed.

ANOTHER LEGISLATIVE JOKER
Says Judge With Least Votes Mus,
Reside at Winnemucca

49, 80 .Nost ohCh huBt
Reside at Winnemucca
Two years ago. shortly after the
election of Judges Orr and Pike to the
Second judicial District, q law was
passed making 1t necessary for one
Judge to reside at Winnemucca, but in
the law it failed to state which Judge
should reside there. Later the district
was divided and Humboldt County was
made a district by itself, but the
division could not occur until both
Judges resigned aud allowed q new
Judge to be appointed for that district.
Both Judges refused to resign.
This last session Of the Nevada Leyis.
lature a law was passed providing that
the Judge who received the lowest
number of votes of the W should
reside at Winnemucca, aud providing
that il he failed to do so he could not
draw his salary. Judge Pike has now
gone to Winnemuoca to reside for a few
months until the constitutionality Of
the law a be determined.
He and many attorneys declare that
the law is unconstitutional and that II 1t
Is not unconstitutional it repeats the
law making Humboldt County a new
district. thus making Humboldt still a
portion of the Second Judicial District.
The law will be tested in the Supreme
Court.
