PAL GETS AWAY
Edward Jones and an unidentified
confederate made a "daring attempt
yesterday to steal a horse and buggy
belonging to Dr. J. , S. . Twoney of. 454
Frederick street, and -while Jones Is
safe in the cells Of the' Mission' station
his partner In crime- is at large with a
case of medical Instruments valued at
$150. Dr. Twoney was making, a call
In Potrero avenue, between Sixteenth
arid Seventeenth streets, yesterday and
left his horse hitched 1n front \u25a0of the
house while he attended a patient.
Upon completing his call he found his
rig gone and hurried to a streetcar to
notify police headquarters. At a short
distance away he observed his horse
and buggy in possession of Jones.
He immediately stopped the driver and
claimed his property and summoned a
nearby police officer, who took Jones
to the Mission station. Upon making
a search of his carriage Dr. Twoney
found that his valuable surgical instru
ments, which were contained in a case,
were missing. It is believed that the
unidentified man made his escape with
the instruments.

THIEF NABBED BUT
MONEY IS LOST
Charles Sherman, a teamster,, made
a bold attempt yesterday to rob George
Costas, a restaurant "keeper of ' 696
.Valencia street, of $97, In jcash. and was
caught after an excitink chase cover-
Ins; five blocks. In which Costas ; was
assisted by Police Officer Belyea, Sher
man entered the restaurant at an early
hour and ordered a meal for whieh^the
charges were 36 cents. He approached
Costas at the 'cash register and threw
down a |5 piece In payment for the
meal.' The restaurant keeper was
obliged to resort toasack of coin, hold
ing |97, which he carried In his pocket,
to make the change. As the bag. of
money was displayed Sherman made a
sudden lunge . over- counter, and
gathering the sack in his hand dashed
out the door- and- down the .street,
with Costas in. close pursuit. . The res
taurant- man,' however,- proved a> poor
match for the fleet-footed thief, but his
shouts -attracted -Officer Belyea, who
joined in the chase and captured Sher
man after a run of five blocks.
Upon searching the teamster the sack
of coin was not - found, and it is. be
lieved, he disposed .of . the incriminat
ing evidence, during the -chase. A
search has been instituted by the po
lice for. the missing money. . . Sherman
was locked up in the Mission police
station to answer to a charge of "grand
larceny. -, *

ment concerning mining in California I
la | the [ desire manifested jln certain \ di
rections to provide State law and dis

Aubury, \u25a0as previously , ; reported.; says
that he,wlll tryjto have a': law, enacted
at ;. the present ; session 'of the ; Legisla- :
ture that would resemble the law of

him, is to prevent the tying.: up of
mineral - lands {, without development
simply by the process of'relocation-an
nually'and In the absence of any ..work
actually performed 1 by the mineral
claimant/. ; ' '
A . bill also *has been introduced In
the Legislature by Senator Boynton.
His measure would" make *it requisite
that locators of claims shall record
the, following: \u25a0 r
First, the name of the • lode or' claim; second,
the name of the locator or locators; third, the
date of location ; fourth, the number of linear
feet claimed in length along the course of the
vein each way from the point of discovery with
the width on " each side of the center jof i the
vein and the ; general course of the rein :or
lode as near as may be.
• Before the ' expiration >of ninety days from
the posting |of such notice upon the claim, the
locator must sink a discovery shaft upon the
claim located jto j the depth "of at least ten feet
from the lowest ; part of | the rim of such shaft
at the surface, or; deeper If necessary to I show
by such .work a lode deposit of mineral In
place. 1 : A cut or , crosscut or . tunnel, which ; cuts
the - lode : at • a depth of ten feet, or an open
cut along the ledge .or • lode equivalent In «l*e
to a shaft ; 4 feet by 6 feet by 10 feet deep.
Is equivalent to a discovery shaft. - The locator
must define the boundaries of his : claim by
marking a tree or rock In "\u25a0 place, or by . set
ting a post or monument of stone, one at each
corner and ' one at the center of each \u25a0 tide

' \u25a0 The relocation • . of - abandoned lode * claims
shall be made . by : posting a location notice and
by sinking a new discovery shaft and fixing new.
boundaries : In the .same manner as if .it were
the location \u25a0of a new claim; . or, the locator
may . sink the original shaft : ten feet deeper
than It was . at the ' time of - abandonment. In
which case the location certificate must give the
depth I and dimensions of the original discovery
shaft at the date of relocation and erect new or
adopt the - old boundaries, renewing the posts
or monuments if removed or destroyed.
The location of al plKcer claim shall be made
In the following manner: - By posting thereon,
upon a tree, rock In place, stone, post or monu
ment, a "notice of location, containing the name
of the i claim, name of locator . or locators, date
of localon and- number of feet or acres claimed,
and by marking - the : boundaries and the loca
tion point .- in the same manner i and by - the
same means as required by the laws of this
State, for. marking ; boundaries - of lode claim
locations; provided, that where the United States
survey has been extended over the land embraced
In, the . location, the . claim may be taken \u25a0by
legal subdivisions,' and, except the marking : of
the location point as hereinbefore prescribed, no
other markings than those of said survey shall
be required. \u25a0 * \u25a0
Within ; ninety daj-s after the posting of the
notice of location of a, placer claim, the locator
shall perform not less than $20 worth of labor
upon the claim: for the development thereof, and
shall have recorded by the recorder of the min
ing district and s the County Recorder of the
county In which the claim is situated, a location
certificate \u25a0 which shall state the name of the
claim, designating it as a placer claim, the name
of the locator or. locators, the date of location,
the number of feet : or . acres claimed, a descrip
tion of the claim with regard to \u25a0 some . natural
object or permanent monument, so as to clearly

additional certificate may be -filed, pro
vided that the amended location, does
not | interfere with the* existing .: rights
