Poste from 5 to7 inches in diameter, firmly planted in the ground at the corners and ends of s mining claim, aud standing not less than 5 feet above ground, are permanent monuments within the meaning of the Revised Statutes of the United States, section 2294, requiring all records of such claims to contain a description of the claim by reference to sume natural objects or t monument as will identify the claim, and a recorded notice, which, in addition to a reference to such posts, also gives the general direction and distance of the claim from a lake or a river, is a sufficient compliance with the statute. Where there is a conflict of évidence as to which one of two posts is the one set by the locator of a mining claim to mark one of the corners, one of which would exclude and one inclade the discovery on which the location was based, and the work done by the locator and the official survey for a patent was -on the latter on information by the locator who set the posts, the testimony in favor of that as the true corner which sustains the survey and the validity of the location will be perfected. : A Fell Purpose. “J want to see the man who gets up the list of names for the juries,” he said. : “Have you any business with him ?” inquired the court official. dent Cleveland, expires March 15th. nia. .

Poste from 5 to7 inches in diameter, firmly planted in the ground at the corners and ends of s mining claim, aud standing not less than 5 feet above ground, are permanent monuments within the meaning of the Revised Statutes of the United States, section 2294, requiring all records of such claims to contain a description of the claim by reference to sume natural objects or t monument as will identify the claim, and a recorded notice, which, in addition to a reference to such posts, also gives the general direction and distance of the claim from a lake or a river, is a sufficient compliance with the statute. Where there is a conflict of évidence as to which one of two posts is the one set by the locator of a mining claim to mark one of the corners, one of which would exclude and one inclade the discovery on which the location was based, and the work done by the locator and the official survey for a patent was -on the latter on information by the locator who set the posts, the testimony in favor of that as the true corner which sustains the survey and the validity of the location will be perfected. : A Fell Purpose. “J want to see the man who gets up the list of names for the juries,” he said. : “Have you any business with him ?” inquired the court official. dent Cleveland, expires March 15th. nia. .
