Location of a mining claim is not
valid unless based ON a mineral dis

ual ground of the claim, although it is
known that a large number of loca-
tiOns are made without mineral dis
eovery. 1t has been held by the land
department at Washington, and by
many courts, that valid location of a
mining claim may be made whenever
the prospector has discovered any in
dications of mineral, so that he is will
ing to spend his time and money fol
lowing it with the expectation of find
ing ore. Applicants for mining patent
have their ground examined by fed

can be done peaceably and without in
terfering with the first claimant, and
under such conditions the claim goes

SOMETHING WRONG
WITH MAIL SERVICE

That something is radically wrong
with the railway mail service in this
section of Nevada has manifested it
self by the fact that for two days now
the Carson City postoffice has received
but few papers from Reno and none
from Winnemucea, Elko and other
eastern points in the state, says the
Carson Appeal.
The postoffice here is not to blame,
because the papers have not been re-
eeived, so il is evident the service
along the road is to blame. The mail
service at the present time is crowded
to the limit in handling Christmas
mail and it is well-known fact that
the help is eurtailed to the extreme,

ELKO WILL HAVE
CHEMICAL FIRE ENGINE

The county commissioners of Elko
county have contracted with the White
company of San Francisco for a triple
combination chemical fire engine. This
engine will be the first of its type put
in service in the United States. San
Francisco has arranged to have all her
fire apparatus patterned on the same
lines as the one selected by our county
commissioners, but they win not be
delivered before July.
The engine is combination chemical
and pumping machine, capable Of two
hundred pounds pressure. At demon
stration at San Anselmo, California,
this pump throwing water from FIVE
inch pipe without other pressure forced
a stream of water through sixty feet
IF three-inch hose, with a spray nozzle,
one hundred and eighty feet. A nozzle
pressure of 100 pounds was developed
and 1150 gallons of water per minute
were used.
The chassis of this apparatus is run
by a 6-cylinder 60-horse-power engine,
capable of sixty rive miles per hour.
All the apparatus will be installed by
special mechanics under the supervis-
ion of John Formesbeck, who has been
fire chief for eleven years besides
being an expert mechanic.
The engine will be taken charge of
by the Elko Auto company, local
agents for the White Auto company,
through whom the purchase was made.
1t win be accompanied by two COM
pctent fremen, who viii give a demon
stration here They will remain until
local men learn all the details of the

VAULT TOO
SMALL FOR SILVER SERVICE

The silver service purchased by the

period, says the Gazette.
The service occupied several large
boxes and is said to be very complete.
II is made of gold and silver ores ex-
tracted from Nevada mines. The cost
is said to be $4,000, and as the legisla-
ture appropriated but $4,000 the bal
snce probably viii be provided for by

Governor Boyle gave orders when
the silver service arrived that it be
stored in the vault of the state treas
ury. Treasurer Malley reports that
the vault will have to be enlarged if
the governor s order is carried out, as
the vault is not large enough to hold
