FUDGE Fletcher NJ. Doane, asso-
ciate chief Justice of Arizona, Is
at the Holenbeck for few days,
before returning to open court Octo-
Der L.
Judge Doane is the man who settles
between 300 and 400 mining cases each
term and any one in Santa Cruz or
Cochise counties who has any trou-
bles to settle goes to Judge Doane to
get fixed up"
There are more mining troubles
down there than a few" said Mr..
Doane. Some man comes along and
takes up a claim. He works 1t for
little while and then stops. Another
man comes along and he works for a.
while with the same ultimate result.
He also quits.
Half a dozen go through this pro-
cess and then a syndicate purchases
the mine and spends whole lot of
capital developing 1t. Every man who
has ever worked 1t, be 1t for ever so
short a time, comes back and brings
suit against the company
"IIe does not expect to get the land,
but he hopes to be bought up, and for
this he fights"
"There are many other troubles in
mining, but once in while there Is ali
ill wind that blows somebody good.
The Tombstone Consolidated mining
has to take five million gallons of water
out of its mine each day and this water
is turned loose. 1t runs down the coun-
try and what was heretofore barren
ground, but now little vegetable ana
fruit gardens have sprung up all along
the course for almost six miles. The
men take up small claim, perhaps an
acre or an acre and a half, and they
plant it. We are not used to getting
very much Of fresh vegetables and
fruit in that part of Arizona, so the
products have a ready market. One
man even went so far this year as to
raise tomatoes in such quantities that
he was able to export them to other
parts of the State. We were very
proud of that tomato patch, for we
never sent out anything like that be-
fore"
Judge Doane is like most other prom
inent Arizona people, he spends most
of his summers in Southern California.
Another Arizona man who arrived at
the Holenbeck yesterday is Harry
Alexander, whom his friends call the
COW puncher. In reality, Mr.. Alexander
is prominent mining and cattle man
of Douglas, Arizona, and he is also
one of the owners of the Queen hotel
of Douglas.
He is a true son of the west, with a
physique that might be the envy of a
Roman gladiator. His is the Arizona
complexion and a big sombrero hat
which he always wears helps his
friends to carry out the impression they
give by his nickname. Mr.. Alexander 5
skill on horseback is far famed, so
perhaps the title is not ill bestowed.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. J. Graves of Jamison
are at the Angelus. Mrs. Graves will
be better remember as Nina Ru-
dolph, the popular actress who was
the leading lady in one of the first
big automobile accidents Los Angeles
knew. Miss Rudolph, as she was then.
lay so close at deaths door for a week
that the physicians could not tell from
one minute to another whether she
would live. Her companion was killed
and there was not enough left of the
machine to more than bear witness to
the accident.
