YEAMANs' BODY FOUND
Three School Boys Find Body
OF Murdered Jitney Driver J.

VI MuFOeFeO JIUWey OTAVcr =.
The body of Edwin Yeamans, mis-
sing since Monday afternoon, Jan
uary 18, from his home in Nortf
East. Cecil county. was found Sat.
urday half submerged in frozer
pool 100 feet west of the Old Cedar
road, leading from Elkton to Elb
Mills, and a mile from the latter
place.
The body was lying face down
ward, with the head and shoulders
in ice and the feet on the bank.
Death, it is believed, resulted from
wounds in the head.
Three Elk Mills schoolboys, Tay-
lor Jackson and his two cousins,
Martin and Lawrence Jackson, dis
covered the body. They had joined
the search which had been conduct
ed by residents and county authori-
ties since Tuesday. A reward of
$3.50 was offered Friday to the
finders by Joshua Clayton, States
Attorney of Cecil county
The body was found about 10
A. M. The boys notified the county
officials, and Coroner Howard Green
went to the scene.
After an inspection Mr.. Green
allowed the body to be removed to
an undertaker's establishment in
Elkton.
Alvin Downham, Of Elk Mills,
is being held on charge of murder
ing Yeamans.
Downham has been held at Balti-
more City Jail since Wednesday, the
day following his arrest, and will be
kept in the city until he is tried. IL
the case goes to court.
1t was the intention of the police
to take the prisoner to Cecil county
Saturday and allow him to cover his
declared course of movements on the
afternoon OF the alleged murder,
Yeamans is believed to have been
killed between 1880 and 5 p. M.
Monday. On the advise of Jesse e.
Pierson, Sheriff of the county, who
feared an attack might be made on
Downham by the residents, the pro-
posed trip was not made.
The last time Yeamans was seen
alive he was with Downham. The
automobile was found abandoned
Tuesday, Jan. 10, in Newark. Del.
The drivers seat was stained with
blood as was an automobile jack
found in the rear. The prisoner was
seen operating the motor car after
the hour at which Yeamans is be-
lieved to have been killd.

THE ALASKA MINING LAW
Being extracts from Alaska Mining Law by Hon Hciry Roden, of Juneau Reprinted by courtesy of Author
 10 Instalrnent Continued

The boundaries of a claim may be changed at any time provided no subsequent locator is injured thereby. When it is discovered that the boundaries have not been properly estab- lshed or marked, the locator may proceed to make the de- sired changes. He may change and straighten out his lines and this applies particularly to lode locations when it is found, after considerable work has been done, that the claim as located does not take in as much of the vein as desired or where it is found that the end lines are not parallel. In such case new stakes or monuments should be erected so as to mark plainly upon the ground what is intended to be cover ed by the amended location. The corners and angles and all stakes and monuments are marked the same as though an original location were made. The words amended location" should be inscribed upon all monuments and the date on which the amended location is made shall also be given. The reason for this is that the rights acquired under the amended location (when no additional ground is taken up) date back to the date of the original location and the locator by marking his cor ners and angles as suggested may thereby save himself future trouble and expense.
 As hereinbefore noted, an amended location may also be made when it is found that the area taken up includes more than allowed by law. !. We have seen that where a prospector goes upon tAe pub lie domain and there pros poets for. and discovers min ] eral land, he is entitled to take up in the case of a placer location, not to exceed twenty acres for each locator i'll the location made, and in the case of a lode location, not more than fifteen hundred feet along the vein and not more than three hundred feet on each side of the center of the vein, can be taken up. It may be found, after the location has been made, that more than twenty acres is included for any one locator in the case of a placer location or more than fifteen hundred feet by six hundred feet in case of ;s.i lode location. In that case the stakes or corner monuments must be drawn in and the ex- cess thrown off so that the To- cation covers no more than

the law permits. In. Chapter VIII we explained the method
 to be followed in case of loae locations. This drawing in Is
 accomplished by making an
 amended location. The same
 rule applies when it is ascer- tained that the location does
 not include as much ground as the locator is allowed un-
 der the law. In that event he may proceed to take up ad- ditional ground, provided ot course, that such additional ground has not been lawfully taken up by another. Let it be understood, however, that it is extremely wise for one taking up additional ground to make 3 discovery within the new ground taken up by him. This may be done by making an amended location covering the original and an additional par eel of land.
 The object of permitting  amended locations to be made and amended location certifi- catee to be recorded is to give !ocators an opportunity to cor @ect mistakes made by them either on account of lack of foresight, ignorance and inex- perience, or even on account of neglect or carelessness in making thir locations or in the preparation of their locat- ion certificates.
 The Territorial Mining Stat ute provides that amended lo- cations may be made by mark ing the amended location on the ground, and that amend ed location certificates may be filed to make good any de- feet in the original certificate. As we have previously stated,3 such amendments may be- made under the Federal min-, ing laws and irrespective of any Territorial provision The amended location sho,'ll be made as soon. as it is dis cred that such is necessary, Delay implies negligence and valuable rights may be lost on account of it.
 While it is not necessary, it is advisable that the amend ed location certificate set forth the reasons why the amendmen has been made, so that one who desires ;nformat- ion upon the particular locat- ion may be able to secure the; same by an examination of the records.
 = An amended lesstioil may be made at any time by@ anyone who may be the owner of the location that is to be amended. It need not be done by the original locator, but may be done by one to whom he has sold the location. And so an amended location certificate may be filed at any time and may be prepared by anyone who has become interested in, the location.
