RULE ON PLACER
CLAIMS ISSUED
Reported That Government Says
Mineral Must Be Shown on
Ter-Acre Subdivisions

In view of the large acreage recently
filed on as placer locations about five
miles north vest of Eureka, the follow
ing article from the Salt Lake Tribune
in reference to a new ruling Of the De
partment of the Interior will prove oil
interest:
Local, legal aud mining circles are
very much interested in a decision re-
ported to have been rendered a short
time ago by the Department Of the ln-
terror at Washington. which decision
has been affirmed by the Secretary OF
he Interior. This decision. as near as
can be gathered, is in effect hat in Sc
curing a patent on all placer ground it
must he shown that the mineral deposit
mas been uncovered on each en-acre
subdivision of the claim.
Should this decision cover all placer
locations, and it is said to SO do. it then
involves everything from the Florida
phosphate lands, on through locations
Of lime and other deposits, to the gold
placer diggiugs of Alaska. The former
basis was twenty acres, SO under this
new decision double the amount OF work
must be done and double the expense
incurred on a 20 acre tract over past
conditions.
Conservationists see in this decision a
step forward, while placer property own
ers see in it an element Of increased ex'
pense in reaching the coveted patented
stage OF mining. The West is naturally
very much interested, for a considerable
extent of locations in the western phos-
phate fields has been located under the
placer law. and practically all deposits
of stone have been chosen by this
method.
The great expense. however. will In
all probability fall upon the southern
phosphate land owners and the gold
| placer miners of the far north. Efforts
are being made to secure a copy OF this
ruling, so that there can be no question
of its exact terms.

EUREKA-PALISADE MAIL CONTRACT
On Account Of Bad Roads Present Sche-
dule Viii Probably Be Maintained

J. s. Roberts Of San Francisco, as
sistant superintendent of the railway
mail service. arrived in Eureka by last
saturdays stage aud remained over
antil Monday morning.
Mr.. Roberts business here ut this time
was to try aud arrange for the letting
OF a contract for carrying the mails be-
tween Palisade and Eureka.
The proposals for bids for carrying
this route recently advertised by the
Postoffice Department were without
result, and Mr.. Roberts came here to
personally look into the situation and
try to arrange the letting of a contract.
In a conversation with a SENTINEL
representative last Sunday he stated
that he came here with the intention
Of letting a contract on q schedule CT
IA or Is hours between Palisade and
Eureka, but that after making a trip
over the road he believed it would BE-
impossible to maintain such a schedule,
especially during the Winter months,
aud it was his opinion that the preseni
time of about 30 hours. which included
a lay off of the mails at Mineral Hill
over night, was about the best schedule
it would be possible to obtain at this
time.
He said the big freight teams had cut
up the road bet ween Palisade and Eu
reka until it was now in very bad con-
dition, and thar on ccoun of the many
chuckholes it was impossible to make
good time with a light rig that when
the Winter storms commenced he looked
for the road to be in a much worse con-
dition, and thought it would prove hard
to get the mails through on the 30.hour
schedule.
The Plummer Bros, the present con-
tractors, had a consultation with Mr..
Roberts regarding the entering into of
a new contract, and it is expected thai
the matter will shortly be arranged.
