LEGAL PRECEDENT FOR
STALKING MINING CLAIMS

Carson News: The jury in the
mining case In the Federal Court at
Carson, Judge Harrington presiding.
rendered a verdict in favor Of the
Munsey Creek Mining Company, q
White Pine County corporation.
One of the points in question con-
cerned the boundaries of a number Of
the company claims. Job and 0'Brien
jumped certain of the claims as they
showed no Identification marks, no
stakes or corner posts. 1t was also
alleged that the assessment work had
not been done.
The company through evidence es-
tablished that the assessment work
had been performed. 1t was admitted
that certain of the stakes were down
or could not be found, but as they
were in place at the time Of the pur-
chase, and the boundaries establish
ed by map, the jury decided that the
company was entitled to the disputed
ground. The instructions to the jury
we're liberal. which under the circum-
stances, establishes a precedent in 1.-THE
stalking Of claims. Once they are set
and established the ground belongs

Two claims on which the assess
ment work was not done were award
ed TO the respondents. Job and

The death of Benjamin Holt at
Stockton. CAL. will bring to the minds
of those who followed the course of
the world war the fact that this
American genius was primarily re-
sponsible for the appearance Of tanks
uron the battlefields Of Europe and
Asia. for he was the inventor of the
caterpillar tractor, which was util-
lied by an English army officer in de-
vising a new and terrible engine of
war. We can well understand the
terror and establishment of the Ger
man soldiers as these iron and steel
monsters came lum6ering along over
seemingly impossible territory. The
kaiser's fighting men were equipped
with the latest death-dealing instru-
ments. including fiame-throwers and
gas bombs. The tanks, however,
were something new In warfare and
the helmeted invaders were taken at
a decided disadvantage. While the
tanks did not win the war, they
helped, and Benjamin Holt will be
remembered as having furnished the
base upon which they were construct
