IMPORTANT DECISION.

Locators of Placer Ground Not Required
to Stake Locations on Unsurveyed l. and.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, April 1S.-The local land
office received a decision from the secre-
tary of the interior to-day holding that
the locators of placer ground are not
required TO stake or mark boundaries
when the claim Is on surveyed land.
The point came up in the case of ]. p.
Reins VS.. James A. Murray of Butte.
The latter, in 1879, located ground by
legal subdivisions near Butte as placer
ana in 1880 applied for patent There
were several adverse claims filed which
delayed the proceeding. Reins, in 1898.
filed a corroborated protest. The To-
cal land office decided Murray's placer
claim was invalid because II had not
been marked on the ground. On ap-
peal, the commissioners held that the
location by legal subdivision was law
ful, but dismissed the protest on an
other point The secretary, although
deciding that Murray's location by le-
gal subdivision was proper, cancels his
application for patent on the ground
that the claim was not placer The
decision as to the Interpretation of the
law regarding location of the placer
claim is most important, as ii will
doubtless have effect on future Htiga-
ton involving contests and protests.

The government bill TO prevent unfair
competition in trade was considered by
the imperial diet on Friday. The bill
provides for the punishment OF per-
sons revealing trade secrets, which the
government has divided into two cate
gories-first, those learned by workmen
in the ordinary course OF service, and
secondly. those for which employers
have exacted promises of secrecy. The
diet refused to pass the measure In
this shape and adopted a modified form
by which a penalty is only applied to
the betrayal of business secrets during
time or service and with intent to In

Berlin, April 1s.-In wellInformed
circles there is an impression that the

the door failed to bring him out. Upon
looking in at a window they found him
awake but he paid no attention to
them. In the condition in which the
miners were at the time 1t would have
taken but little to precipitate a riot

little show against their frenzied de-
