COPPER QUEEN SUIT.
It Opened When an Unex- pected MOveOf the PrOsecu-
 tiOn OccasiOneda a Hitch

The great suit of the Government against D. D. Ross and the Copper Queen Mining company to recover SlS3,0OO, the estimated value of some- thing like 5,o00, 900 feet of lumber cut near Rock creek in this county was begun yesterday at Tucson. Con- siderable unimpor,ant testimony was taken, and the following extracts from the Star is given:
 "The whole forenoon was exhausted in impaneling jury and the trial proper begun in the afternoon. The complaint alleging g the cutting of tim Der on surveyed and unsurveyed gov ernment land. not mineral land, was read to the jury. Then followed the answer of the defendants, denying every material allegation of the gov ernment. The defense is represented by Col. Herring, Miss Sarah Herring and Judge Haynes of San Francisco.
 Lieut.. H. o. Flipper testified that he had visited the neighborhood and estimated that section of country three miles in length and one mile in width had been cut over.
 "R. H. Corners of Crooks,on ,Minn ,, formerly a special agent of the land ctiice. He had visited Rock creek canyon in 1924. The cutting had then ceased, but ne and two other per sons employed by him estimated the stumpage, and counted something like 7000 stumps.
 'SupArInteuGeut Williams himself was called by the plaintiff. His exam nation was briei aud in it he said that the timber had bet purchased of Ross al S3l a thonsand. Tie rest of his testimony related 10 the expense of cutting and delivering the tin. Der at Bisbee, iifty-fve miles distant.
 United States District Attorney FL linwood then went on the stand as an expert witness concerning the value ot standing timber. As attorney for the Arizona Lumber company he had drawn all the contracts for five years. He said the uniform price for timber in the tree was Sl l.25 a thousand.
 This closed the testimony for the day and an unexpected thing happened. The counsel for the government an nounced that the plaintiff rested. A problem was thus left for the court. The government had proved, or else it had been admitted. every allegation of ifs complaint but one, but that was the one upon which the whole action rested, that the land was not mineral land. It was not in fact necessary that it should have alleged thi-, hut it could have compelled the defence to prove that it was. The course noH taken by the plaintiff was calculated to burden the defense with proof.
 "The attorneys for the defense com plained that they had been surprised and asked for an adjournment, which was taken until this morning.
 "The suit Is therefore in q critical condition, not critical ID the sense that the result is uncertain, though it may be ever 50 uncertain, but as 10 the course the action will now take. It may drag along through three or four days according 10 the original pro- gram, or it may go of this morning on law question"

morning was one Of the worst which
ever struck this city. The wind blew

Street and railroad traffic was greatly
delayed and the street car companies
had to abandon some Of their minor
lines, devoting their energies TO keep.

blew down the telegraph and trolley
wires in Chicago and many serious ac.

telephone wires being down and BY
the blockade on the railway lines.

from the commissioners that they
would charge no more mileage, would
