The State rested this morning in the
preliminary examination of Geor~e
Fronhofer, charged with the murder
of Peter Laux, after stipulating that
DIR. p. j. Mangan and IS. III. Labigan
should be recalled.
The defense waived the introduction
of testimony and defendant on ad-
vice of counsel, declined to make any

Der of witnesses, including b. H
Labigan, Elmer b. Salinas, Martin
Kennedy, George Willett, j. /. Guthrie
w. L. Wilkinson, G. w. Muller and
DR.. p. j. Mangan. 1t is alleged that
the only evidence connecting From.
hofer in any manner with the shooting
was contained in the ante-mortem
statement of Peter Laux, introduced
in evidence, which was as follows:
81 know who shot me-that was the
watchman at the mine. He was the
man who Klopstock sent there to
watch. Jake was not there. / be

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
ISSUES NEW MINING MAPS

Topographic maps of two notable
mining camps have just been issued
by the United States geological survey.
They are the maps of Ray and vicini-
ty, in Pinal county, Arizona, and of
Creede and vicinity, in Mineral coun-
ty, Colorado. The Ray map is the re-
suit of a detailed survey of this fa-
nous copper camp on the large scale of
1:12000, or more than inches to the
mile. The contour interval is 25 feet.
This map shows every topographic
feature of the area as well as the To-
cation of works of man, including
buildings, mine shafts, tunnels, etc,
and will serve as base for any con-
templated engineering or geologic
work
The topographic map of Creede and
vicinity is published on the scale of
l:2400, or more than 2h inches to the
mile, with contour interval of 80
feet. This mining camp is situated in
the heart of the Colorado Rockies, the
attitudes ranging from 5000 to 10000
feet above sea level.
The topographic surveying of the
area shown on the Ray map was done
by w. M. Beaman and that of Creede
and vicinity by R. H. Reinecke, under
the direction of r. B. Marshall. chief
geographer.
Up to 1911, according to the geologi-
cal survey, the Ray or Mineral Creek
mining district had produced little,
but from 1911 it will take rank among
the most important copper districts of
the country. Large ore reserves have
been dveloped and extensive reduction
works have been provided at Hay
den
The Creede or Sunnyside district
has been an important gold, silver
lead and zine camp for a number of
years, the annual output averaging be-
tween one and two million dollars in
value. In 1910 the district produced
662 ,956 tons of ore, valued at $1,036,-
2s6, of which $121,lSl was in gold
$417,s10 silver, $3,6s7 copper, 1892
s24 lead and $130,7S4 zine. There were
nine producing mines in the district in
1910.
The Ray and Creede Topographic
maps are now for sale by the peologi
cal survey at Washington for cents
sheet, or SO hundred if at least q
hundred are purchased.

CRIME REVEALED BY
MEANS OF THE DICTOGRAPH

The dictograph, the sensitive instru-

ously to the purpose of securing evil
dence of crime, is described in an
illustrated article in the April Popular
Mechanics Magazine. The instrument
comprises a most sensitive transmit
ter, receiver, small battery and as
much wire as is necessary. The entire
outfit can be held in one hand and not
cover all the fingers. The transmitter
