Ilex Heach, the author, helped to found,
nnd tho laws of which he nnd his fellow
miners enacted and executed.
The laws related chiefly to staking nnd
registering mining claims, but the miners'
court dispensed rcady-mado Justice to all
who canto before It, whether It had any
law for Its guidance or not
Mr Heach tells of a squaw who appenred
before the court and demanded n divorce,
for excellent reasons, from her white bus
band. ThP court, after gravely consider
ing the evidence, granted the desired lellef
from the galling bonds of matrimony; so
the squaw, seeing how easy It was, de
manded the furniture which had been the
Joint property of the now disrupted house

of letting the tall go with the hide, gave
her the furniture as well ns tho divorce.
