Judge Parker last week handed
down a decision In the case Of p. r.
Smith and others against Ashton s.
Roach, the decision being in favor OF
Ashton s. Roach. The suit was over
the Wildcat group OF mines in the
Santa Rita district. Mr.. Smith bought
this group aud organized the Clifton
copper company to work it. The
purchase price was to be paid in to-
stallmeuts, but some Of them were not
paid, and Ashton & Roach took pos
session Of the property, AS the court
has decided that they are entitled to
the property this probably ends the
controversy, and also ends the Clifton
copper company. There was some
Lordsburg money invested In this prop
ertY, and a good deal OF Clifton
money, but it is probable that all the
investors have long since given it up
as money they would never sec again.
The Hermosa copper company has a
deal on for The Wildcat group, which
is said to be a valuable property, If
properly worked by competent men,
who have sufficient capital.

E. ]. Sittig, the new superintendent
of the International gold and silver
mining company, has the reputation
OF being q statehood mascot. He was
living 10 Montana when the territory
was admitted as a state. He then
moved to what is now the state Of
South Dakota, and engaged in the
mining business. In a short time that
territory was made two states. He
then engaged in the mining business
in Wyoming, and that territory was
soon admitted as state. He then en-
gagged in the mloing business in Cal
~ifornia. and as that was already a state
there was 10 chance for his peculiar
gift to work. He has been in New
Mexico a couple Of weeks, and the in
dications are that the territory will be
admitted, along with Arizona 10 a
short time. If Two territories are joined
to make one state it will only even up
Mr.. Sittig's experience in Dakota,
where two states we're made u OF
n territory.
