Law RELATIVE TO
PROOF OF WORK
Affidavit Must Be Filed As
Evidence.
One Fee for Any Number Of Claims
Under Specified Conditions.

For some years it has been a
question in the minds of prospec-
tors and miners of Idaho whether
or not more than one mining
claim could be included in the
affidavit certifying to annual as
sessment work, for record in the
auditors office, for the single
fee of so cents. The former law
was indefinite on the subject.
In the first days of the last ses-
sion of the legislature a bill pro-
viding for more than one claim
in the single affidavit, for one
fee of SO cents, was introduced
by representative from Clear
water county, but was defeated.
This is a very important ques-
ton to large number of people
in Central Idaho. There is a
supreme court decision permit
ing the charging of so cents for
each claim.
In the very closing days of the
session Representative Feather
stone, Of Shoshone county, in
troduced a bill which passed both
houses, was signed by the gov
ernor, and is now the law. 1t is
we'll for every one to be familiar
with it's provisions. 1t is as fol-
lows:
"An act to amend section 3211
of the civil code of the Revised
Codes of Idaho, relating to af-
fidavit of performance of labor
on mining claims.
'Be it enacted by the legislature
of the state of Idaho:
Section l. That Section 3211
of the Civil Code of the Revised
Codes of Idaho be, and the same
hereby is, amended to read as
follows:
"Section 3211. Within sixty
days after any time set or period
allowed for the performance of
labor, or making improvements
upon any lode or placer claim,
the person in whose behalf such
work or improvement is perform
ed, or some person for him, must
make and record an affidavit in
substance as follows:
[Same affidavit as formerly
used.
1.-The fee for administering the
oath and recording the foregoing
affidavit, when taken before the
county recorder or deputy min
eral recorder, shall be so cents:
Provided, however, that any
number of claims in the same
mining district, belonging to the
same person or persons, associa-
tion or corporation, may be in
cluded in one affidavit without
the additional charge. The fee
for recording the same, when
the oath is taken before any
other officer authorized to ad-
minister oaths, shall be so cents.
''Such affidavit, or certified
copy thereof, in case the original
is lost, shall be prima facie evil
dence of the performance of such
labor. The failure to file such
affidavit shall be considered
prima facie evidence that such
labor has not been done.

Gold Production
and Securities

The despondent attitude which
has been so universal throughout
eastern financial centres during
the winter has not begun to
change with the coming of
spring. On every side the i'm
preston seems to prevail and the
opinion is expressed that until
there is a general liquidation,
until accounts are balanced, there
will be no general relief. The
continuation of gold exports,
owing to strained conditions
abroad, taken with the political
and economic situation at home,
has given the financial interests
of the Atlantic seaboard a decid-
edly tangled set of nerves. This
feeling has been shown by the
| disfavor into which a vast num-
Der of industrial securities have
suddenly fallen. During the
past two years, there have been
floated in New York and Boston
many stock issues, representing
all kinds of manufacturing and
industrial properties, nearly all
of which have been made attrac-
tive to the buyer by being put
out as preferred stock, returning
| 7 per cent per annum. 1t is
something of a shock to the re-
cent purchasers of these issues
to suddenly find that the banks
and bankers refuse to consider
them as bankable collateral.
There has resulted most dis
heartening declines, and great
depression has seized the public
at large. In some quarters it is
limited that the ban suddenly put
upon these stocks, which were
so popular a few months since,
is due to the necessity of provid-
ing a market for railroad bonds
that must be sold to provide the
transportation companies with
both new capital and money for
resunding purposes. But what
ever the cause, it is not a healthy
sign that securities Of the high
est class go begging.
In the meantime the position
of India with reference to gold
is attracting much attention.
During the past IL months, that
is, from April 1912 to and in
Guiding February 1918, the net
imports of gold into India show
a total of SOB, ,179, ,799. For the
like period of the year preceding
the total net imports were &21,
457. 1910. The fiscal year in India
is from April / to April /, and it
is apparent that the imports for
that period will total G25, ,000, 900.
) India's. gold i. absorption during
the past two years comes near
to being double what it was fol
the two years preceding. Taking
the past four years as whole,
India has absorbed and practical
ly withdrawn from circulation
nearly $400, ,000, 600 of gold in eX-
, cess of her EXPORTS 1t is moi
altogether the loss of this amount
of actual gold bars that is of sc
much Importance to the banking
forces of the rest of the world,
as it is that the fact that this
same amount of bullion moving
through the regular commercial
channels of the Occident would
create and furnish a loanine
power of $1,000, 100000. Per
haps the tremendous effect Of
this withdrawal can better be
illustrated by saying that so fal
as the rest of the world is con

A PittaDCe from Forest Reserve.

Of the earnings from the
forest reserve in this county for
the past year 1882 has been al
loted for use on the Buffalo Hump
road; $500 on the South Fork of
the Salmon river and $400 on
roads in the Selway district.
This represents about ten per
cent of the revenue taken in and
shows the advantage of the re-

the forest reserve but not for
the taxpayers and citizens of the
community in which it is located.

Comrade Bill Thompson tells a story
of bad writing that ranks with the
Greeley classics. When he worked on
a Philadelphia paper julius Kaufman,
a Dane, wrote very clever, forceful,
pungent editorials. Kaufman's Eng
lish was impeccable, but his writing
was impossible. 1t seemed to have
been done with a bent pin and an as
phalt mixture. George Kennedy was
the only man on the copy desk who
could read it. One day Kennedy came

Height Of Americans.

Measurements made of hundreds of
thousands of native born Americans,
of all lines of ancestry, show that the
average lies somewhere between 5
feet ~ inches and feet 1928. That
is the mean height of the normal adult
American male, and it is substantially
the same, east west, north and south.
Now, how does this American compare
with the men of other races? Is he
larger or smaller? A study of the
figure shows that only the Scotch.
man overtops him. The Swede, a tall,
we'll made man, is nearly half an inch
shorter. So is the north German. So
is the Eikh, the tallest of all orien-
tails. The Welshman is a full inch
shorter. The Greek, the Turk, the
Italian, the Russian and the Swiss are
two inches shorter. The Pole is three
inches shorter, the Russian Jew is
four. The Spaniard and the Hun full
five inches shorter, scarcely come up
to the Americans nose.

Striking as these new parasols are

Convenient AeropIane Shape.
The aeroplane shape, long from the
front, elliptical when opened, has a
certain smartness and is very conven-
lent for use with the long, narrow
hats of the season Very exclusive
parasols are of black satin, with lin
ings of bright colored silk, and have
very long, carved handles of black
wood with wrist-oord matching the
color of the lining.
The dome and the tub shapes are
the most popular styles this season
and one sees more of them than of
the exaggerated aeroplane and mush-
room hat effects. Sometimes there
is a double dome of canopy top" as
this model is called in the shops
which looks like two soap bubbles,
one blown within the other. The
first or outward curve of the cover
may be Of plain colored silk in deep
green, or the fashionable Indian red,
while the more steeply curving dome
at the center is of Persian silk or
lowered pompadour pattern.
One of the accompanying sketches
shows parasol Of the dome, or bell,
shape, made Of black satin, trimmed
with bands Of bright colored pompa-
dour silk. The stick is black carved
wood.
The other parasol in the illustration
is of old blue taffeta, with a border
of hright-colored pompadour silk.
Pretty ParasoIs Of Flowered silk.
Many of the prettiest of the sum-
mer parasols are of Powered silk, or
of plain silk with deep borders Of
lowered silk, set off between bands
of black velvet ribbon. Covered silk
parasols also have a deep border,
bands of heavy macrime lace or Of
scroll, or cubist patterned silk. Plain
colored silk parasols in simple dome
and tub shapes are given the essen
tial fanciful touch by a shirred ar
rangement Of silk between the ribs.
Shirrtngs of all sorts are much used
" trimming effects, as for instance,
shirred silk border bands over cords,
shirred chiffon or lace covers over
corn colored or saffron silk.
Handles are as long as ever, and
those swelling to a bulb at the end
are the smartest. Some of the carved
effects are very handsome, and the
choice seems to be evenly divided be-
tween deliberately carved black wood
handles and white wood handles in
carved ivory effects.
