 1 The report of County Recorder Mur- phy for the month of February shows that there were over 700 instruments l filed during that month and that the fees amounted to s11221O, which is the largest amount received for fees { for any one month for number of years The filing of the many instru- ments shows that there is considera- ble activity in real estate in the coun- i ty. A large part of the instruments were deeds for real estate, while the mining end of it was held up by num- erous locations as well as mining deeds A number of mortgages were also recorded. This is an excellent showing for the month and the pres ent year promises to be the banner one of the country as far as the re- cording of instruments is concerned as so far this year the record has been excelled every month.
 Oil Locations Filed. A party of Douglas citizens has a. gain relocated the Lost Hills group of oil claims about sixty in number. For the past four or five years as soon as the old locations run out other parties relocate the mand hold them without doing any work so that it is one con- tinual round of relocating. There has never been any work done on them since the one well was sunk about four years ago Whether or not the present locators intend to do any work remains to be seen. The county 1 is the only winner on the proposition ! so far. and they receive from sixty to l seventy-five dollars per year from the filing fees.
