In Regard to
 Mining locations

There seems to be . misuDderstand. ing on the part of some of the claim owners ID regard to the nature of the Arizona mining location law as amended by the last legislature. The new law, which admits of an e-ioOt discovery shaft instead of requiring that one be 10 feet in depth, as here tofore, spniies only to location or initial work. and not to annual or assessment work The regulation r,q1iring $l0I worth of work per claim ,s still in force; It is s Fedora law which cannot be amended except by special ensc.meut by congress.
 The new territorial law reads ss iollowe.
 "An Act to Regulate Location oi Mines, Amending Section 32s4. Sub ,, and 3237 of the Revised Statutes ol Arizona, 1901.
 Be it enacted by the legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona
 "Section l. Section 3234. Subdivis- on ,, 10 read as follows:
 To sink discovery shalt on the claim to a depth .. least eight fee, from the lowest part of the rim of the shaft a. the surface. snd deeper, il necessary, until there is disclosed in sand shaft mineral in place
 "s-ction 2-Section 3237, Suhdivis ion ', to read as follows:

CARR OPENS UP.
Defense Begins in the Marion
Murder Case.
Attorney Claims Evidence Was
Manufactured.
1T is UP TO GERMAN.
Charges That He Suppressed
Important Evidence.
Denies That .Telltale Coat Ever
Belonged to Defendant.

Marion. Feb. 1.-THE Carr murder
trial opened again today with a large
crowd in attendance and the interest
which has increased as the trial pro-
gressed was probably greater today as
the state finished the presentation of
it's direct evidence.
J. F. Lytle, chief route agent of the
ells-Fargo, and E. H. Stevens, as
sistant superintendent, were on the
stand for the purpose of Identifying
stolen jewelry found and as to the con-
dition of local safe when checked by
them at Newton from which the jew
elry and one thousand dollar money
shipments were taken.
John Cummings, city marshal at
Newton, Kansas, II. C. Spratt, night
chief. and A. r. Ainsworth. sheriff of
Harvey county. stated they had seen
Carr at Newton during the day of
March 29th, 30th and 31st, that Mr..
Spratt told about Carr and his father
in-law, ]. c. Simmons speaking to him,
saying that If on his rounds during the
night he discovered man in the pool
hall to not disturb him as it would be
the defendant, who intended sleeping
in the billiard hall several nights.
Link thompson, negro porter of the
Murphey hotel at Newton, identified
register and testified that on the night
of March 18th, Carr registered at that
hotel and was shown to his room by
Thompson. The hotel register was
also identified by City Marshal John
Cummings.
A discharge check was introduced as
evidence showing that the defendant
received salary due him from the Santa
Fe Railway company at La Junta,
Colo, on December 11th, 1907. This was
a very important point on the part of
the state and which was closely con-
tested by the defense inasmuch as it
was corroborative of evidence given
by a tailor at La Junta who testified
l1n on a fl1n n doxr Of IA
cember, 1907 the defendant came to his
shop and ordered an overcoat cut off.
which he identified as the one which is
being presented as evidence in this case
and upon which were found the numer-
Gus blood spots and in which the stolen
jewelry was found.
G. c. Pettys, train dispatcher at
Newton, was placed on the stand and
identified train sheets and records
made by himself covering the arrival
of trains 115 and II at Newton as well
as the departing time of No. II. BY
him the state corrOborated testimony
given by numerous other witnesses as
to the exact time of the arrival and
departure of these trains. All of which
