As I understand it, otght people may .-join and include 160 acres in oue placer claim; but does tho law govorning smull assessments work permit a company com-pany that owns four claims of 360 acres each to do all the work on one claim for tho group of four? PROSPECTOR. Wo fail to see how this question can involve moro than one claim of 160 acres, as tho law expressly prohibits anv association from taking moro than 166 acres. In placer as well as lode mining, assessment work on ono claim that can be positively shown to de-A-elop a gToup of claims is sufficient, but it is usually a very difficult matter mat-ter to prove ihig on " placer ground.

(1) The Scotch-Irish are descendants, born in Ireland, of Scotch people who sottlod, chiefly, in the north of Ireland. (2) Generally speaking, yos; though they may bo' found m any part. (3) There is no such difference in complexion com-plexion as you imagiue: though, as a type, probably more are light and tall than dark niid short; but tho racial mixture is practically complete. |
