{. 8 P. RAILROAD MATTERS
Recent Cold Snap in North End
Probably Delaying Rapid Re-
building Operations

va account Of poor telephone service

TINEL Is unable to furnish its readers
this week with any definite news re.
garding the progress of the work being
lone In rebuilding the Eureka & Pail.
sade Railroad. An attempt to talk With
Its correspondent at Palisade yesterday
afternoon was without result, the line
working so poorly that IL was next to
impossible to understand g word.
Agent $. G.. Dye Of Eureka. Informed
the SENTINEL that he had learned
earlier In the week that the full force
OF men and teams were at work on
the road, but he understood not as
much progress was being made as
last week. Only about four inches OF
snow fell at Palisade and in Pine Val.
ley during the recent storm, but that
section was previously visited by an I'M
usually cold snap, and it is thought this
hardened and frozs the ground suff-
ciently to somewhat retard the grading
operations.
The SENTINEL learned this week that
after the roadbed has been completed
from Palisade to Mineral Station there
will be little rebuilding work necessary
on the balance Of the so miles into En-.
reka, except at a few short stretches near
Alpha and at the Slough near Diamond
Station, about 10 miles north of Eureka,
and the work at these places it is said
will be mere child's play for the present
force OF the construction company.
Ii would seem from this showing,
and the progress OF the road reported
last week, that the expectation Of a
train into Eureka by New Years Day
is fairly probable.

FATES AGAINST TRACTION ENGINE
Engineer In Charge Laid Up at P.lissde
With Badly Injured Leg


The new traction engine, or, we
should say, the parties who are trying
to inaugurate q freight service between
Pslisade and Eureka with this engine
TO Furnish the propelling power. are
having more trouble. Bat this time IL
Is not the engine that is disabled, bat
the engineer who came out from the
East with the engine to operate IL. On
the return 10 Palisade the engineer &C
cidentaliy hurt his right leg. While it
gave him some trouble IL was shought
the injury would not amount to any
thing and he kept ct work sven after
arriving at Palisade.
The loading Of the three trail wagons
to be hauled by the traction engine was
completed at Palisade Thursday after
noon and everything was ready for the
start that was to be made II morning.
When the engineer failed to put in an
appearance yesterday morning il was
soon learned that his non.arrival was
caused BY his inability to get out Of bed
on ACCOUNT Of his injured limb, which
was causing him considerable pain and
rendered him entirely helpless.
As an engineer capable Of handling
the traction engine was not available,
the trip 4 Eureka has been abandoned
for the present. AS loon as this course
had been decided upon. two extra six
horse teams were engaged to load the
part Of the freight most desired in
Eureka, and no unusual delay in freight
consigned to Eureka is anticipated.

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT WORK
Salt Lake Mining Review Gives
Out Valuable Information to
Mining Claim Owners

J This is the time Of the year when the
claim owner gives thought to the per.
Torrance Of annual assessment work
upon his property. Tits highly import
ant that this work be done in stric,
compliance with the law, and no harm
can be done IL little more work is done
than Is really demanded. In some
localities district laws conflict with the
federal statutes; but, in a test case, II
will be found that the federal law must
be complied with, and that the irregular
district regulations will not hold good.
In cases where work has been begun
before the close OF the year, but not
completed, no loss to the claim. holder
Is sustained il he continue the work
without interruption, and into the fol-
lowing year. Actual occupancy and
personal possession is regarded by the
law as au evidence of good faith on the
part Of the claim holder. and he may
complete the required work and hold
good title, even If this work is carried
on into the year 1912.
In the event of the performance of as
sessment work upon a group Of claims.
this be done at one point on the
group, provided the work 90 done tends
TO the development and Improvement of
the whole group; but such work cannot
apply to detached claims, or to claims in
the group which cannot be benefited BY
the work being carried on. In souse
instances, however, work on q group
can be applied to a detached claim il it
can be shown that the claim benefits by
the work performed. Wagon roads,
even, II constructed in the near prox.
unity. but not on q claim Or group of
claims, il built for the use of the prop
erty in question, and are necessary for
the successful operation of the claim or
claims. will be accepted az assessment
work. A building. permanent in its
character, will apply as assessment
work, as will also the services of q
Waterman when such services are util.
q in keeping mine workings in repair
and the property in condition for active
operation.
The statutes provide that work TO the
value Of 800 be done in the perform.
ance OF annual assessment work. Such
work is valued at what il is reasonably
worth. II it is reasonably worth 800.
the fact that ii was performed at q less
cost does not imply that the claim
holder has not complied with the re-
quirements Of the law.
A great many factors must necessarily
enter into the question Of what consti-
tutes the performance of annual assess
ment work. Such. for instance, as the
cost of labor, the cost OF provisions and
supplies. and the distance from supply
points; and the c~iaim-owner who is
endeavoring. in good faith and honesty,
to develop and exploit his holdings. is
not very likely to have his work ques-
toned. and especially when he does not
rely upon the supposed te~chnicalities
of the law to tide him over year after
year. In the possession Of his property.
