conditions are unfavorable at the pres

of the depression in the sugar markets
of the world, and as no decrease in the
total production is probable, there is
not only no Improvement in sight, but
rather the indications are that the sit

The COURTS ORDER
The Claimant Given One-Third of
the Capital Stock of the Orc
Grande Corporation Exclusive of
That in the hands of Innocent
Purchasers = An Inference That
Weisling Was Entitled to Know
All His Partners Knew.

AL Weisling. the miner who claimed
an interest in the great Oro Grande
mine. north of Wickenburg. has won
his suit in the district court at Pres
colt, in which he claimed a third in
terest in the mine. The suit was begun
against the owners of the mine. Upton.
Hatfield and Lamb. last July and was
tried shortly after 1t was held under
advisement until yesterday. when
Judge Sloan announced his decision. He
did not sustain the contention of the
plaintiff in full. but he upheld the prin-
ciple on which it was based.
Since Weisling's connection with the
property a company has been incor-
porated. capital stock has been issued
ana part OF it has been sold. The
court holds that the stock which has
passed into the hands of innocent pur-
chasers is net subject to division. He
commands one-third of the rest of it
to be brought in and turned over to
Weisling. less $500 worth, the $500
being the amount paid Weisling by his
partners. Hatfield and Upton. for his
cne-third interest in the property. Il
is roughly estimated that the value of
one-third of the unsold stock is s120. 900.
News of this decision was received
here yesterday by telephone by Mr.. ].
II. Collins of the law firm of Collins &
Altman, Prescott. attorneys for Weis-
ling.
The situation upon which this ntiga-
ton is based is as follows: Hatfield.
Upton and Weisling were engaged in 8
I',ining or prospecting partnership and
ir the course of their operations ac-
quired the ORC Grande property. For
long time the value of it was unknown
Ia them as il had been unknown to
their numerous predecessors. Some
time before the great strike of last
spring Weisling went away to perform
assessment work on other claims. and
he says that il was in his absence that
the value of the Orc Grande was dis
covered. on his return he was met
with a proposition to sell his third in
terest in the mine. He accepted the
proposition and sold it fer 81 800. G.. z.
Lamb. friend of Upton, then became
the third partner. either by the pur-
chase of Weisling's share direct or by
being subsequently taken in by Upton
and Hatfield Judge Sloan's decision
leaves Lamb in conjectural situation
with respect TO his other partners, but
Lamb status was not u matter for the
consideration of the court
a great deal of development work
had been done on the ORC Grande be-
fore the bringing of this suit and ar
ranRements had been made to put in n
large plant. but pending its issue
operations were suspended. There is a
strong prospect now that no work will
be done for some time to come. The
case will undoubtedly go TO the su-
preme court. 1t is equally doubtless
that ii will be finally adjudicated in the
supreme court of the United States.

The Canadian Pacific railroad cable

Then Walks Out

Dallas, Tex, Dec. ga young man
who seems well educated. after being
shadowed for several days, was arrest
ed by Detective Pegues last night on
numerous charges of burglary. Pawn
tickets for many stolen articles were

BOUNTY TO CUBA.

New York Dec. 2s.-In view of the
recommendation OF President Roose-
welt. that Il substantial reduction be
made in the duty on Cuban products.
President Oxnard of the American
Beet Sugar association has proposed a
plan which he thinks will protect the
sugar beet growers and at the same
time afford the Cubans the relief they
seek. He has laid his proposition be-
fore the president.
Mr.. Oxnard's plan contemplates the
imposition of the regular Dingley rates
on sugar coming to the United States
from Cuba. but that bounty suffi
cient to protect and encourage the su
gar industry in Cuba be refunded to the
growers in the island. The exact
amount of the bounty was not sug-
gested by Mr.. Oxnard. That, he
thinks. would be a matter for congress
TO decide. after the subject had been
thoroughly investigated.
Mr. Oxnard maintains that n direct
reduction in the rates on sugar from
Cuba would benefit no one but the su-
gar combine. which would make mill
ions out of IL. while the beet growers
would suffer correspondingly. 1t
would not reduce the price OF sugar to
the consumer, he declared, and it would
be better for the people to pay the
bounty outright. and divide it directly
among those whom il was to benefit.
