ANNUAL WorRK. . ;fhe Labor Necessary to Hold Unpatented Mining Claims. About three,.weeks elapse between now and the time to perfrm the annual work on unpatented mining claims which have received no attention earlier in the year. According to the United States law, at least $100 must be expended annually by all locators of mines in developing the property. This development work mfist consist of sinking a shaft or incline, or running an open cut or tunnel to develop a vein, without which no location will hold good. A neglect to comply with the provisions of the law by performing the labor within the limit prescribed will forfeit the ownership of the ground and leave it open for relocation. The final ‘ruling of the Land Office in relation to the time wherein annual labor shall be performed by locators of mining claims reads as follows: “The period within which the work required to be done annually on all unpatented mineral claims shall commence on the first day of January succeeding the date of location of such claim, and this section shall apply to all claims lecated-since May 10, 1872.’ ‘Labor performed or money expended upon a mining claim prior to January 1 succeeding the day of location thereof will not be considered.as a part of or applied upon the first annual expenditare required by law. Thus, upena claim located at any~time during the year 1880 the-périod within which the labor. must. be performed-commences January 1, 1881, and dur-— penditura must be made or. the claim will be subject to relocation on and after January 1, 1882. ‘In order to apply the law toa claim located prior to the year 1880 it will be necessary to calculate from the day of location. For instanee, upon a claim located in 1875 the first expenditure would be reckoned as due within one year from January 1, 1876, to-wit: January 1, 1877, and annually thereafter by the calendar year.” ee Masonic Electicn.

Z The Record-Union of Wednesday gives the following account ‘of the accident to Sam Milligan, formerly of Colfax: About 3 o’clock yesterday. afterrtoon an accident, which it is-feared may prove fatal, occurred to 8. P. Milligan, brakeman on freight train No. 7, which left this city Monday evening for the East. It appears that the train was about entering a piece of snowghed between the Summit and Truckee, about seven miles west of the latter place, and he was walking on top of an Eastern refrigerator car (which : is somewhat higher than the freight cars of the Southern Pacific Comany), going toward ‘the caboose. Moving with his back to the engine, he did not notice that the train was sonear the shed. Some one called to him to look out, but almost simultaneouly one of the beams of the shed struck him on the back of the head knocking him between the freight car and the caboose. The latter ran over his left leg at the ankle, grinding it to a pulp; his scalp was badly cut, and the skull, it is feared, fractured; the thumb and forefinger of his left hand were broken, and he was otherwise injured. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and taken to Truckee, but shortly afterwards was put on board a special train and started for this City, arriving about 9:15 lastnight. Dr, Huntington went up on the overland to meet him and superintend his’ removal to the Railroad Hospital. It was found necessary to amputate his leg just below the knee, and his other hurts were then attended to. The injury to his head is of course the most serious, as there are indications of compression of the brain. He has been unconscious, except for a few minutes at intervals, since the accident. Mr. Milligan has been on the road, in one capacity or another, for many years,and has the friendship of all with whom he has come in contact, whether railroad men or members of the traveling public. > -— None of That in His. " 1 Tidings: ‘‘Haye you seen the comet?” asked a Grass Valleyan of « member of the Sportsmen’s Club. “No, what about it?” “Well you get up at 4 0’clock in the morning and stay up till sunrise and keep looking in the northwest sky and may be you'll see iG!" “What sort of a comet is it?” “Itis a Barnards and looks—”’ “Barnyard! If I get up at 4 o’clock tosee a comet it must be game ; no barynyard for me.” And the sport would not stop to hear the correction.

TurFANy, ; mill this season: oy . error as to their cause, and neglect ALONG THE TRUCKEE. one Immense Output of Lumber by Eastern Nevada County. The Truckee Republican of Wednesday says: The milling business along the Truckeé river has practically ceased for the season, the only mills running being the Verdi mill of theTruckee Lumber Co. and the mi!] of Hamlin & Doane at Essex. The _ total amountof lumber cut along the river this season is aboat 32,000,000 feet and the amount sold is about 35,000,000 feet. It will thus be seen that the amount sold is in excess of the amount manufacturedand leaves our millmen with less stock on hand than at this time one year ago. Prices have been about the same asusual for rough lumber, but the price of boxes hasin a few instances increased slightly. The cut of the various mills can be stated as folGeorge Schaffer has cut abdut 3,500,000, most of which has been sold or contracted for. Richardson brothers have cut about 4,000,000, They have about 1,000,000 now on hand. Elle Ellen did not operate his The Banner Mill.of O. Lonkey cut about 2,000,000 feet of lumber. He has less than 1,000,000 now on hand. The Reno Gazette gives these additional figures of other mills, viz: : The Essex mill, being run. by Hamlin & Doane, started up late, but has cut about 2,000,000 feet, and is still running. They’ have about 800,000 feet in the yard, the most of which is box lumber which finds a ready sale. The Boca Mill Company had on hand Jan. 1, 1886, 2,000,000 feet, this season’s cut, 6,000,000; sales, 7,000,000 ; on hand, 1,000,000. The mill of the Pacific Wood & Lumber Company, at Clinton, cut 4,000,000 feet, but little of which will be left on hand after filling orders‘already in, The Truckee Lumber Company’s Truckee river mill cut 7,000,000 feet, and their Dog Valley mill about 4,000,000. They have on liand at both mills about 3,000,000. . eeeeeeeeeeesneseemetee J p Without Adequate Cause, Or with apparently no cause at all, chills and fever, thought to be cured, germinates and refruc— tifies in the system. This giant among diseases cannot be laid out with quinine. The only way to give ita final and extinguishing quietus, is to use persistently the national antidote to miasma poison, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which roots it out completely. The process of cure is, of course, much easier ifthe Bitters is used as a preventive, when the first chill is felt, but persons who are not acquainted with the nature of the symptoms are sometimes in the simple and pleasant remedy, of ull others best suited to check the progress of this dreaded and destructive malady, Visitors to, or sojourners in, malarious localities will, moreover, act the part of wisdom if they use the Bitters as a preparative. Rheumatism, constipation, biliousness, indigestion and kidney troubles are removed by the Bitters. perpen pecemesmemaecngee ares nec a BORN. At Nevada City, Dec. 9, 1886, to D. E.

This is not a ‘retiring hott: bunioeie date ‘like thaf of some of the old merchants who advertised to that effect two or three years ago end are here yet. When I say I will sell out, I wean it. ; A certain merchant in this city advertises, ‘‘Down with High Prices,”’ and he claims to have been in business here about 14 years. He says he pays 100 cents on the dollar for his goods. He claims he will give a prize of a clock worth $75, giving everybody who buys $5 worth a guess at a sack of chestnuts. He offers a suit that he formerly sold for $15, for $10, with a lot of trash like neckties, handkerchiefs, etc., thrown in. He offers for $4 50 a shelf-worn suit that he used to sell at $8. He did a similar thing two years ago when he said he was about to retire from business. Still he is here, Another competitor advertised his house and business for sale, but he is here yet. Ihave been but three years in this place. I am the only man that originally reduced the prices of Dry Goods and Clothing in the county. Iclaim the championship in reducing and keeping down prices. I offer A REWARD For proof that I am not entitled to that championship. I have never said that I would sell for $10 a suit I had been getting $15 for, hecause I do not make profits big enough to do so. Neither have I offered to throw in a white shirt worth $1, a‘necktie worth 75 cents, and pocket handkerchiefs. These are things no merchant who charges only a living profit cando. When Isbell a suit for $15, my profit is only about $2. -He has sold $15 suits for $25 and.$30, and can afford to throw in a good many things. I ask the public if the man who pays 100 cents on the dollar, and gives $75 prizes can sell. as cheap as I can, when I pay only 50.cents on the dollar for goods and give no prizes. I say thatI sell goods in this city at lower prices then other dealers can buy for. Thereason is (I can show bills to prove it) that I buy direct from-New York City, and get a discount by buying for cash. I am the only dealer in Nevada county who does’ his own manufacturing, and I can prove it. I buy thecloth and have it made into suits. I pay no big rents. I employ boys right out of school as clerks, and do a good deal-of work myself, The expense thus saved is for the benefit of the public who get low prices in conSequence of my savings. I am here to stay. Ihave not got rich in the three years I have been here, and I do not expect to get rich, I have no communication, nor am I in connivance with any of the other dealers here. They are all at enmity with me, and want to get me a4Way a8 s00n as they can. But they cannot drive me, nor hire me, nor coax me to go. Again I say I am here to stay, and stay I will in, Spite of all opposition and enmity. : Lask the people to continue their liberal patronage, and I will do my level best to continue deserving it. I only ask for small profits, and will not want anything more. Y al the way of : CALICO, MUSLINS and other STAPLE GOODS, As my Dry Goods Store is too much crowded now to display them.

Z The Record-Union of Wednesday gives the following account ‘of the accident to Sam Milligan, formerly of Colfax: About 3 o’clock yesterday. afterrtoon an accident, which it is-feared may prove fatal, occurred to 8. P. Milligan, brakeman on freight train No. 7, which left this city Monday evening for the East. It appears that the train was about entering a piece of snowghed between the Summit and Truckee, about seven miles west of the latter place, and he was walking on top of an Eastern refrigerator car (which : is somewhat higher than the freight cars of the Southern Pacific Comany), going toward ‘the caboose. Moving with his back to the engine, he did not notice that the train was sonear the shed. Some one called to him to look out, but almost simultaneouly one of the beams of the shed struck him on the back of the head knocking him

between the freight car and the caboose. The latter ran over his left leg at the ankle, grinding it to a pulp; his scalp was badly cut, and the skull, it is feared, fractured; the thumb and forefinger of his left hand were broken, and he was otherwise injured. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and taken to Truckee, but shortly afterwards was put on board a special train and started for this City, arriving about 9:15 lastnight. Dr, Huntington went up on the overland to meet him and superintend his’ removal to the Railroad Hospital. It was found necessary to amputate his leg just below the knee, and his other hurts were then attended to. The injury to his head is of course the most serious, as there are indications of compression of the brain. He has been unconscious, except for a few minutes at intervals, since the accident. Mr. Milligan has been on the road, in one capacity or another, for many years,and has the friendship of all with whom he has come in contact, whether railroad men or members of the traveling public. > -— None of That in His.

TurFANy, ; mill this season: oy . error as to their cause, and neglect ALONG THE TRUCKEE. one Immense Output of Lumber by Eastern Nevada County. The Truckee Republican of Wednesday says: The milling business along the Truckeé river has practically ceased for the season, the only mills running being the Verdi mill of theTruckee Lumber Co. and the mi!] of Hamlin & Doane at Essex. The _ total amountof lumber cut along the river this season is aboat 32,000,000 feet and the amount sold is about 35,000,000 feet. It will thus be seen that the amount sold is in excess of the amount manufacturedand leaves our millmen with less stock on hand than at this time one year ago. Prices have been about the same asusual for rough lumber, but the price of boxes hasin a few instances increased slightly. The cut of the various mills can be stated as folGeorge Schaffer has cut abdut 3,500,000, most of which has been sold or contracted for. Richardson brothers have cut about 4,000,000, They have about 1,000,000 now on hand. Elle Ellen did not operate his The Banner Mill.of O. Lonkey cut about 2,000,000 feet of lumber. He has less than 1,000,000 now on hand. The Reno Gazette gives these additional figures of other mills, viz: : The Essex mill, being run. by Hamlin & Doane, started up late, but has cut about 2,000,000 feet, and is still running. They’ have about 800,000 feet in the yard, the most of which is box lumber which finds a ready sale. The Boca Mill Company had on hand Jan. 1, 1886, 2,000,000 feet, this season’s cut, 6,000,000; sales, 7,000,000 ; on hand, 1,000,000. The mill of the Pacific Wood & Lumber Company, at Clinton, cut 4,000,000 feet, but little of which will be left on hand after filling orders‘already in, The Truckee Lumber Company’s Truckee river mill cut 7,000,000 feet, and their Dog Valley mill about 4,000,000. They have on liand at both mills about 3,000,000. . eeeeeeeeeeesneseemetee J p Without Adequate Cause, Or with apparently no cause at all, chills and fever, thought to be cured, germinates and refruc— tifies in the system. This giant among diseases cannot be laid out with quinine. The only way to give ita final and extinguishing quietus, is to use persistently the national antidote to miasma poison, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which roots it out completely. The process of cure is, of course, much easier ifthe Bitters is used as a preventive, when the first chill is felt, but persons who are not acquainted with the nature of the symptoms are sometimes in the simple and pleasant remedy, of ull others best suited to check the progress of this dreaded and destructive malady, Visitors to, or sojourners in, malarious localities will, moreover, act the part of wisdom if they use the Bitters as a preparative.

This is not a ‘retiring hott: bunioeie date ‘like thaf of some of the old merchants who advertised to that effect two or three years ago end are here yet. When I say I will sell out, I wean it. ; A certain merchant in this city advertises, ‘‘Down with High Prices,”’ and he claims to have been in business here about 14 years. He says he pays 100 cents on the dollar for his goods. He claims he will give a prize of a clock worth $75, giving everybody who buys $5 worth a guess at a sack of chestnuts. He offers a suit that he formerly sold for $15, for $10, with a lot of trash like neckties, handkerchiefs, etc., thrown in. He offers for $4 50 a shelf-worn suit that he used to sell at $8. He did a similar thing two years ago when he said he was about to retire from business. Still he is here, Another competitor advertised his house and business for sale, but he is here yet. Ihave been but three years in this place. I am the only man that originally reduced the prices of Dry Goods and Clothing in the county. Iclaim the championship in reducing and keeping down prices. I offer A REWARD For proof that I am not entitled to that championship. I have never said that I would sell for $10 a suit I had been getting $15 for, hecause I do not make profits big enough to do so. Neither have I offered to throw in a white shirt worth $1, a‘necktie worth 75 cents, and pocket handkerchiefs. These are things no merchant who charges only a living profit cando. When Isbell a suit for $15, my profit is only about $2. -He has sold $15 suits for $25 and.$30, and can afford to throw in a good many things. I ask the public if the man who pays 100 cents on the dollar, and gives $75 prizes can sell. as cheap as I can, when I pay only 50.cents on the dollar for goods and give no prizes. I say thatI sell goods in this city at lower prices then other dealers can buy for. Thereason is (I can show bills to prove it) that I buy direct from-New York City, and get a discount by buying for cash. I am the only dealer in Nevada county who does’ his own manufacturing, and I can prove it. I buy thecloth and have it made into suits. I pay no big rents. I employ boys right out of school as clerks, and do a good deal-of work myself, The expense thus saved is for the benefit of the public who get low prices in conSequence of my savings. I am here to stay. Ihave not got rich in the three years I have been here, and I do not expect to get rich, I have no communication, nor am I in connivance with any of the other dealers here. They are all at enmity with me, and want to get me a4Way a8 s00n as they can. But they cannot drive me, nor hire me, nor coax me to go. Again I say I am here to stay, and stay I will in, Spite of all opposition and enmity. : Lask the people to continue their liberal patronage, and I will do my level best to continue deserving it. I only ask for small profits, and will not want anything more. Y al the way of : CALICO, MUSLINS and other STAPLE GOODS, As my Dry Goods Store is too much crowded now to display them.
