An Unfortunate Company.

The Mammoth mining Co. has been running a 3o-stamp gold mlll on the San Pedro, below Tres Alamos, just in side the line of Pinal county. This com pany has good mine, containing a large body of low-grade ore, which will pay we'll when the concentrating process is introduced. Their mill has no superior in Arizona. The company is composed of Michigan capitalists, one at least of whom is millionaire. The peculiarity about the operations of this company is the facility with which the superintendent seems to run into law suits. At least half dozen have been brought against the company during the past six months, and Pinal county paper now announces that several more will have to be commenced by the com pany against parties who have jumped some of their claims.
 In yesterdays Star the superintendent announces that the mill and mine will shut down.

The Copper Queen Verdict.

The jury in the Copper Queen case gave in their verdict yesterday morning as follows:
 ''We, the jury in the case entitled, The Copper Queen Con. M. Co.,, vs. The Arizona Prince Copper Co., find for the plaintiff, east of section line 8, and for the defendant, west of section line s, as described and marked by sectional lines, east of incline B. on map marked, plaintiffs exhibit A. A. H. BAYLESS,
 Foreman" The jury seem to have thought that the ends of justice would best be served and both parties best satisfied, by divid- ing the disputed ground into two equal portions and giving one of them to each side. The result proved to be, however, exactly opposite. Both parties are dis gusted and the case will probably be ap- pealed.

The Laundry Question.

TOMBSTONE, February I8, 1886.
 EDITOR EPITAPH: It occurs to me and many of my friends share my opinion-that this laundry business might be better carried out, by several small private establishments, than by joint stock enterprise, with all the fuss, formalites and unnecessary expenses of company" Such enterprises too often end in wrangling and failure. Again, suppose strike should happen among the employees of the joint stock concern, or that it should, for any other reason be forced to close for even a short time, it would not be very pleasant for all the families in town to have their dirty washing thrown on their hands.
 One thing is certain. To make this anti Chinese movement success, means must be provided, for replacing their laundry work, at moderate price, or our women folks will bring such pressure to bear, that the Celestials will have to be sent for again, as has been the case, more than once, on the Pacific coast-at Truckee, for instance where, if I am not mistaken, such course has twice been pursued.
 This washing business may seem a very light matter to some, but to the weakly mother of large family of young children, whose husband earns but a small pittance and who is already over- worked with her household duties, es. pecially during our warm summers, the problem of getting the family washing done, at a moderate price, is a most i'm. portant one.

Judee Barnes Delivers an Important
 Opinion O. ,he Indian Question.
 This morning motion was made on behalf of the Indian girl Na-dis-ough, that subpoena issue for Mana and another In reply to this motion, Judge Barnes delivered the following opinion:
 "The relation of the Indian tribes to the general government is peculiar. The government treats with them as inde- pendent tribes and the constitution de- clares that treaties, made by the United States, shall be part of the supreme law of the land and recognized by the courts of the the United States and of the states. This court must take judicial notices of all treaties. Besides, the pre- sent situation here is nearly that of actual war and must embrace those engaged in it. The court will take notice, therefore, that Mana is in the hands of the military authorities, as hostage, or on some other terms and Geronimo, if inthe hands of the military, is, for this purpose and now, prisoner of war. If this court should subpoena the witness and he should not come the court would then be called upon to issue an attachment for him and whoever inter- fered would be in contempt. To raise such an issue would create great public disorder.
 shall decline to issue the subpoena at this time. That these Indians are amenable to the laws of the territory there is no doubt, but that question is not now before the court. The question is: 'Shallwe, in the present, condition of affairs, subpoena here witness in the hands ofthe military, engaged in actual war, who is held as prisoner or hostage or however it may be? think not"

Our staid and very respectable con- temporary, the San Francisco Call, pub lished few days ago in its Scientific" {, column, a squib which was started in Phenix and went the rounds of the press about year ago, to the effect that wild ducks were so plentiful in Maricopa county, that tons of them were gathered daily, by boys, from the barbed wire fences, around Phenix! It really does seem as if no story could be created toe tough to be swallowed by the outside press, provided the plot is located ir Arizona.
