 Parker Post: Under a decision recently handed down, in connec- ton with certain mining locations in Arizona, 1t would appear evident that in the future broader inter pretation will be put upon the laws governing mineral locations. Where as under the letter of the law, 1t is essential that the actual discovery of the lode be made be- fore location-a requirement., by the way, which is usually not observed in practice-under the broader interpretion apparently given in this case it will be possible for mining companies engaged in legitimate mining and development work to take up land known or believed to be ore bearing, as de- termined by geological examina. tion, even though such land may on the surface not give any certain evidence of its mineral character. This decision will be of particular value to some of the great copper districts of Arizona and New Mex leo.

MINING NEWS.
1 Collection of Short Newsy Items From Among the Mines ofAnxona.

Douglas lntGrnatlonal: Capt. John Greenway has practically completed the examination and approval of the plans for the new smelter which the Calumet and Arizona proposes to contract at Douglas. Preliminary work on that project has already com menced.
 Florence Blade: Geo. U. Young says the reports of great damage to his Goldfield (this county) mining property by last weeks storm were exaggerated In fact, almost no damage was done to the mine, and the mill has not closed down for lack of ore. The water did not get into the mine shaft but into an old, abandoned shaft from which no ore is now taken.
 Daily Globe: Judge Hechtman, state fair commissioner for this dis. trict will make a shipment of ore specimens gathered from all parts of the Old Dominion mine to J. c. Goodwin, manager of the Mineral Department of the Arizona State Fair tomorrow. The collection will make the most beautiful and complete exhibit of any mining company at the fair. Judge Hetch- man states that he has been promised specimens from numerous mining men of this section but up to date has received very few of them and wishes to call attention 10 the fact that the time allowed is getting short and it will soon be too late. The railroads of the state have offered free transportation for all permanent exhibits sent to the fair.
 Parker Post Dr. J. H. Fiske of Pasadena and Frank H. Jackson of Los Angeles, arrived here Thurs day morning to make a prelimin- ary examination of the Billy Mack mine. They left for the property early Thursday morning, and ex- pect to remain about three days. Dr. Fiske is representing the Pas adena and English syndicate which Is negotiating for the purchase of the mine. MT. Jackson is a we'll known mining engineer and will make the preliminary examination. The gentlemen stated before leav- ing for the mine that upon their return to the coast in about three days another and larger party would come out for the purpose of making a thorough examination of the property. This party will in- clnde an assayer, mining engineers and it is expected several of the capitalists who are contemplating the purchase of the mine.

PACKERS SECURE
BRIEF RESPITE
Granted Stay Until Next
Monday to Secure Their
Appeal

Chicago. Nov. 22.-F lrther delay in
the criminal trial Of the indicted Chi
cago packers-this time until next
Monday-was granted defendants
counsel late today by Judge George
A. Carpenter in the United States dis
trict court. AS result the fight to
save the packers from facing a jury
Washington. where efforts will be
made to obtain stay order from q
justice Of the United States supreme
court.
Judge Carpenter stated. however.
that unless he had received such a stay
order by Monday he would order the
packers to trial without further argu-
ment
Counsel for the packers effected the
delay granted by Judge Carpenter. by
first appearing before Judge c. G.
Kohlsaat in the United States circuit
court. where the entering of an order
quashing the packers haheas corpus
writ had been marking time since Sat-
urday. When delay was granted Sat-
urday by Judge Kohlsaat, It was
agreed that formal entering Of this
order should take place Wednesday.
Counsel for the government. appar-
emily with the purpose of tnterposins
objection to the delay. started to COM
ment upon the matter when Judge
Carpenter interrupted by saying:
You may rest assured that unless a
stay order is issued the case will pro.
coed Monday"
The defendants lawyers. however.
caused some surprise by appearing in
Judge Kohlsaat'e court at noon with
counsel for the government and ask
ing for immediate entry in the order.
At the same time the order granting
an appeal from Judge Kohlsaat's de-
cision, handed down Saturday. was en-
tered.
Three hours after these orders had
court. counsel for the defendants ap-
peared In Judge. Carpenters court.
where the trial was TO open this
morning.
ATTORNEY John 8. Miller informed
Judge Carpenter OF the proceedings
before Judge Kohlsaat. detailing each
step. ..,,...,
Legally" said Mr.. Miller" our ap.
peal from Judge Kohlsaat's ruling ie
now pending in the supreme court.
Counsel conceives that this court
ought not to proceed with their trial
on the indictments while the appeal
until that court shall have had an op-
porunity of passing finally on the uues.
tions involved there. testing the valid
ity Of the criminal provisions of the
Sherman antitrust law.
"Your honor ought to stay your
hand until that court has determined
these questions. 1t Is our contention
that the pendency Of the appeal oper-
ates az a stay and prevents this courts
exercising any rights until the supreme
court proceedings are disposed OF.
