SCHOOL APPORTIONMENT REDUCED
Eureka County's Proportion From State

Eureka County's Proportion From State
Shows A Falling off of $l6o3.S7
AS will be seen by the statement Of
State Superintendent Orvis Ring pub
lished on the first page Of this weeks
SENTINEL. to the school officers of the
State of Nevada, showing the number
Of school children and the amount of
money apportioned 10 each county. Eu-
reka County's apportionmentis $23l3. 90
for the first half Of the year 1910. This
Is Q falling off from the first half of the
apportionment for 1909 of el603 81.
The apportionment for the State a
year ago was about $i49. 900. while this
year it is 500. 272 SO. A year agoit was
nearly $i2 per capita; this year. as seen
by the statement. it Is less than IS.
The Carson News states that this
falling off is owing to the fact that a
great deal Of money due the State school
fund had not been paid in at the time
of this apportionment. But when this
Indebtedness is paid into the State
school fund it will be distributed to the
| different counties in the next semi
annual apportionment.

REPORTED MINING RULING
DECLARED A HOAX
General Land Office States There
Is No Decision Against Re-
locating Mining Claims

In an official communication from the
General Land Office Of the Department
OF the Interior at Washington, infor-
nation has been sent to the Goldfeld
News stating that to date no decision ID
known Of regarding the rumors recently
circulated hat after January /. 1910.
mining claims held by relocation from
year to year would not be valid. The
rumor which had been brought to the
attention Of the News from Q half dozen
different sources stated that after Jauu-
airy 1. 1910, locators who have been &C.
customed to holding mining claims by
erecting new location stakes on January
l each year in lieu Of development
work would be precluded from locating
such ground within three years after
the date Of the original location.
The Department of the Interior states
that that Office is not aware Of any such
decision having been made. The ques-
tion involved in this matter il . very
important one, as can readily be under
stood. 1t having been the custom here.
tofore in many mining camps for people
who hold mining claims to relocate them
on the LIST of January Of each year. In
this fashion no assessment work was
necessary during the year. and the ten.
ure Of the land was largely made on a
basis that no one appeared on the scene
at midnight on the last Of December
and contested the rights Of any claimant
to put down his stakes again In prefer.
once to the other mans.
There is no question bat what there Is
a great deal Of mineral property tied up
in this fashion. which goes over from
year to year without any development
work Of any kind being accomplished
on it. A certain amount Of assessment
work is. Of course, sufficient to hold any
quantity Of ground, provided each claim
has the required amount of money spent
on it during the year.
Many people. however. particularly If
they own large holdings of a more or
less prospective character have been sat-
isied to date by putting down new stakes
every year and thus insuring themselves
a locator's title for the balance of that
year.
Either some one was p~erpetrating q
huge joke in the sense of putting ont
the item that the Government would
not tolerate this kind Of locating any
more. or else some such ruling has actu-
ally been made in an obscure case.
Enough publicity has been given this
idea, however. to brighten a great many
holders with claims under such titles,
and at least a half dozen inquiries have
been received by this paper recently
asking for further information along
the designated lines. Many Of them
have even gone further. aud written to
the Land Office at Washington. only to
receive in return the same reply which
this paper has received, namely. that
the Department. was not aware Of any
such decision.
