Assessment work that has been neglected on mining claims during 1904 may be held by the claimants beginning work on the claim before January I, 1905, and continuing the work until $100 worth of work shall have been accomplished or improve ments made. Some claim holders begin their work in October or November and do $100 worth ot work, and continue into the suc ceeding year, when they do an ad ditional $100 worth. Hy this ar rangement they are required to visit the claim only once in two years instead ot yearly. It an amount of work be performed in excess ot the legal requirements during any one year, it does not count on the assessment work re quired the following year. It is true that in saving a claim lrom re location a claim holder may begin the work for 1904 in that year and finish it in 1905, but he may not do work tor 1905 in 1904. Stole Cabin and Tools. Some grand larceny thief has stolen the greater portion ot the cabin on the Pratt claim in Pump kin Hollow, and all the tools that were in the cabin. The cabin was erected some eight years ago, and those who have at different times since done prospecting and develop ment work in that district have used it to live in. For some time past no one has occupied the cabin, but a lot of picks, shovels, drills, etc., were stored therein. The thieves have knocked the cabin to pieces and taken away the best part of the lumber in the last two months. It apprehended they will have trouble on their hands. A Promising Discovery. Frank Freeman and Dun Sherry, ■while gathering wood in the Pine Grove hills lust week, discovered a ledge ot ore which may make a val uable mine. The discovery is about five miles west ot Pine Grove. At a depth ot four teet the ledge shows a width of tour teet, and assays of the ore show it to carry J02 ounces of silver, $7 in gold and 5 per cent, galena.

A Certain Cure for Croup. When a child shows symptoms of croup there is no time to experiment with new remedies, no matter how highly they may be recommended. There is one preparation that can always be depended upon. It has been in use for many years and has never been known to fail, viz: Cham berlain’s Cough Kemedy. Mr. M. F. Compton of Market, Texas, says of it. 1 "I have used Chamberlain’s Cough Kemedy in severe cases of croup with my children, and can truthful ly say it always gives prompt re lief.” For sale by Mason Valley Drug Store. f. t« A. M. Public Installation. On Tuesday evening about ninety gues s a tended the public installa tion of c fleers ot Hope Lodge No. as, E. St A. M., in their hall in Yer ington.

All who attended returned to their homes about midnight declaring that the occasion was one of the most de lightful that had taken place in Yerington in many years. Copper Property Bonded A deal has about been consumma ted for the bonding of the Spragg group of copper mines in this local ity. We understand all arrange ments have been made except the signature to the articles ot agree ment by Mrs. Milligan, a part owner of the property, who now resides in Pennsylvania, and that this has probably been obtained by this time. The people who have taken the bond are connected with the Western De velopment Company, of San Fran cisco, aud the price is said to be $20, 000. As soon as the papers in the transaction are signed by all inter ested, it is understood that quite a number of men will be employed and considerable development work done. The mines are located in the same range ot hills as the Bluestone, only a few miles to the south, and are considered very promising cop per prospects. The Key that Unlocks the Door to Long Living. The men of eighty-five and ninety years of age are not the rotund well ted, but thin, spare men who live on a slender diet. Be as careful as he will, however, a man past middle age, will occasionally eat too much or of some article of food not suited to his constitution, and will need a dose of Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets to cleanse and invigo rate his stomach and regulate his liver and bowels. When this is done there is no reason why the average man should not live to old age. For sale by Mason Valley Drug Store. Knee Badly Hurt. Chas. Jones, who has been driving for Will Pursel and hauling wood from the hills, met with quite a painful accident Wednesday after noon about 4 o’clock. While coming down a hill the brake on the wagon refused to work and Jones was thrown to the ground. He landed in such a manner that his left knee was badly sprained and the liga ments injured. He was brought to the Pursel residence as soon as pos sible and a physician summoned, who attended to the injury and made the young man as comfortable as possible. He will probably not be able to use the injured limb tor two or three weeks. Ho, For the West.

The hearing of Harry Stevens, on a charge ot obtaining money by false pretenses, took place last week Friday. The charge was reduced to one of misdemeanor, and Stevens pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six months in the county jail and to pay a line ot $500. It is understood that the Newlands people have agreed to make good all ot Stevens’ shortages. This seems to be a pe culiar proceeding in the case. As Stevens has no money with which to pay a fine, and he cannot be made to serve time to cover a fine, his pun ishment tor a case of forgery ought to be considered light enough to sat isfy almost anybody. Grip Quickly Knocked Out. “Some weeks ago during the se vere Winter weather both my wife and myself contracted severe coids wLieh speedily developed into the worst kind of la grippe with all its miserable symptoms,” says Mr. J. S. Kgleston of Maple Landing, Iowa. "Knees and joints aching, muscles sore, head stopped up, eyes and nose running, with alternate spells of chills and fever. We began using Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, aid ing the same with a dose of Cham berlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets, and by its liberal use soon completely knocked out the grip.” These Tab lets promote a healthy action of the bowels, liver and kidneys which is always beneficial when the system is congested by a cold or attack of the grip.
