Los Angeles, Aug. 17-Clarenoe Darrnw is not guilty. The jury. af- ter being out forty-five minutes, ar rived at a unanimous decision that the accused man was not guilty of corruptly influencing George Lock wood, iuryman in the trial of the McNamara brothers.
 Judge Hutton delivered his charg to the jury this morning and they immediately retired to the iury-rooT to deliberate. While they were ab- sent the accused attorney sat in the court room and chewed the end of a led pencil When they filed back into the court room after three quarters of an hour deliberation and handed in the verdict of not guilty, the judge at once declared Mir.

a wild scene In the court room. Dignity was thrown to the winds. Mrs Darrow arose and threw her arms around her husband and chee broke out in the court room. The cry was taken up and carried along the corridors and out into the street, where the shouts were echoed and re- e-echoed. It seems to have been one of the most popular verdicts that has ever been given in this city.
 Mir. Darrow maintained his inno- cence and says the verdict was the only one that could honestly have been given.
 The trial has lasted for several months and has cost the county near ly hundred thousand dollars. The prosecution had the urgent backing of the manufacturers association.

 One of the reasons which is urged for the establishment of the sub port at Fairbanks. is that it will enable the boats of the White Pass and Yukon railroad to compete with the boats Of the transportation com pauies now mouopolizing the Yukon river in Alaska. 1t is believed that ia the event of the office being es- tablished. much good will result to both countries by the stimulation it will give to trade.

LAW OF THE APEX.
Director of United States Geological
Survey Recommends Its
Repeal.

The law Of the apex has proved
more productive of expensive It'll
cation than of economical mining.
In many of the more recently estab-
lished and more progress We mining
districts this statute has been made
imperative either by common agree
ment or by compromise between ad-
joining owners. It's repeal could not
affect established equities under
patent rights in large mining dis
tricts, not as yet discovered, where
new and valuable claims will be To-
Gated hundred years from now.
The unit of disposition should be
the claim, preferably square, limit
ed on its four sides by vertical
planes, and of size sufficient to al
low the miner occupying two con-
tiguous claims to follow the vein or
lode to considerable depth, even if
its dip is only As degrees. Sucn
definition of a mining claim is
found practical in both New Mexico
and British Columbia. and in the
latter country the change from the
apex law was effected without trou,
Bile or confusion.
The same knowledge of natural
conditions that leads to the sugges-
ton of a repeal of the law of the
apex forces the further suggestion
that discovery of ore in place can
not be made universally a prerc-

quisite to the location of mining
claim. Geologic study of ore depos-
its has furnished examples in a
number of regions where the pres
ent law can not be complied with
although rich deposits exist under
ground and their extent can be
more definitely surmised than in
a. ; est riaces where ore is discover
ed at the surface. To meet such ac-
tual conditions the law should pro-
vide for the acquisition of meta
liferous mineral land classified as
such upon the basis of adequate
geologic evidence, whether actual
outcrops are present or not.-From
