 A MINIATURE MINING CLAIM The surveyor general yesterday ap- proved the survey of the smallest min ing claim on record. It is situated in the Warren mining district in Cochise county and is known as the Manila lode. It belongs to the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company. It con | tains .01S of an acre. It is twelve feet wide at one end and one foot at the other. It is as long as the ordinary | claim is wide It lies between the Sil- yer Spray claim and the Copper Mon arch both belonging to the Copper Queen. It owes it's existence to the law which requires that the end lines of a mining location must be parallel. The end lines of neither the Silver Spray nor the Copper Queen were so and they had to be made so in compliance with the law This left the little strip called the Manila lode claim.
 FRANK SMITHS CASE-Frank Smith was very much grieved yester- day because only one side of the story of his arrest was secured for publica- ton. He says the other side Of it is that he stole no chickens but on the contrary thinks the complaining wit ness has been stealing his chickens.
 He doesn't care especially about that however, for he is not in the chicken business with the idea of amassinE fortune. He has fifty or sixty chickens and raises them only to eat himself and give his friends who may be sick and want chicken occasionally. He also has about a hundred pigeons that he ke cps for the same purpose. He says the fence between the two lots was put up partly with his help and the gate was put in it for the accom- modation of the Cordova family. who for year have been getting water out of his hydrant and who have been constant borrowers from his larder. He has great many friends in Phoenix and his livelihood depends largely upon his reputation for honesty. He doesn't want to pose as a thief of any kind but Of all kinds of stealing in the world chicken stealing he particularly ab. hors. And if he were to finally bring himself to chicken stealing he would seek flock that was composed of fowls
