MINES ROMANTIC
HISTORY is TOLD
MARIoUITA INVOLVES SUIT AND
COUNTER SUIT
William II. Afford Alleges Misrepre-
sentatlon by Nine. J. Travrs, Who
Answers with Charge Of
Broken Contract

| The romantic history of an old minini
| claim was developed during the trial II
Judge George III. Hutton's court yester
day afternoon in the case of William II
| Afford, who seeks to recover $4O,OOO dam
/ ages from Madame Jacques Travrs
| widow of q California pioneer. The con
| tention is over the old Marquita mine IL
| Arizona.
| Madame Travrs transferred the prop
erty to Afford under contract to pay the
taxes and perform certain other stlpu
lated requirements. Afford alleges she
represented the mine to pay S33.1l to th'
ton. In substantiation of this she pro
duced the expert written opinion of
mining engineer whom she is alleged tt
have represented as being competent ant
we'll known. Upon these representations
Afford took the property and claims tC
have made a big outlay in improving ano
developing 1t.
He alleges that he has spent a month
Investigating the property, during winch
time he has secured the opinion OF ex-
perts and has found the ore to carry
only $4 ton, while the expense of mill
ing is Sc ton and not $3.zo as, he says
was represented He says that Madame
Travrs represented to him that the ore
would in places run as high as 500 ano
$50 to the ton to her personal knowledge
The defendant claims that Afford Is
not competent to judge the value OF tne
property, that she has no cause to doubt
the correctness of the experts report
which she submitted to him.
She says he has not complied with the
terms of his contract, which require him
to pay $40 a month in addition to main
tanning the property and improving II
with a stamp mill. She has filed q
counter complaint in which she de-
mands $4,000.
The history OF the mine, as reviewed
in the report of r. w, lime in 1894, is
full of interest. Travrs located three
claims, the San Bernardino, the Mari
quita and the Buck. The claim to the
Mariquita was jumped by a San Fran
cisco banker, NJ Martin, who patented
1t under the title of Constance. Martin
put UP ten-stamp mill five miles from
the mine. Transportation was poor at
that time iand the cost of living and
labor almost prohibitive. The project
failed and Martin dropped his rights.
Then came Travrs again and took up
the claim for a second time under the
old name. He died. short time after
and his widow held onto the property.
She was compelled to mortgage the mine
for $4eS9.25 to Warren Gillelen of Los
Angeles. The mortgage became due and
she could not pay it and entered into
contract with Afford.

CHINESE GOVERNMENT
OPENS FOREST SCHOOL
Work II Scientifically Repairing con-
dltlons Described as Worst In the
World Is Begun, Says Con-
sui General

The .almost worldwide movement to
protect and establish forests has reached
China, and the first Chinese school OF
forestry will shortly be opened in Muk-
den, according to recent report by
Consul-General James w. Ragsdale at
Tientsin.
The Chinese empire is usually pointed
out as the worst example, among mod
ern nations, Of forest destruction. The
floods which are periodically poured
down from the denuded mountains are
destructive beyond comparison with those
of any other country, and the want of
forests Is assigned as the chief cause.
Wood is scarcer in China than in al
most any other inhabited region of the
world, although the country Is well adapt
ed to the growing of trees. In the estab-
fishing of a forest school the Chinese
government gives evidence that 1t realizes
the need of beginning its reforestation
in a scientific manner.
