Mitchell applied for and was granted
temporary Injunction against Britt.
Hammons and the bank restraining
them from disposing of the stock to
any other than the plaintiff
When the matter came uD for trial
Mitchell who was really the only wit
ness for the plaintiff was sick at Los
Angeles Nobody else of the Mitchell
Mining company knew anything about
the deal with Britt. An effort was
made by the attorneys for the plaintiff
to secure a continuance on the ground
of the illness of Mitchell. The motion
for continuance was denied and the
case went to trial on the deposition of
Mitchell.
One point offered by the defense was
the negligence of Mitchell and another
was the irresponsibility of Hammons
for the acts Of Britt. AS to the bank
it was stated that the loan had been
made to Britt at the request of he
Arizona National Bank of Tucson. The
demurrer Of the bank to the complaint
was sustained and on the trial the in
junction was dismissed as to Ham
mons.
From these orders the appeal was
taken.

ARE UNDER A CHARM
Another Returned Camper From tn
White Mountains.

Jim Graham came in yesterday
mountains where he had been a MEM
Der of a camping party consisting of
Jake Miller, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Love
lit and others. He confirms rumors
which have drifted down from that
delightful, but out of the way spot
that Jake Miller is losing flesh and
has been at it so long now that he is
used to it and glad of it. He is more
over so pleased with the country that
he viii probably arrange for per-
manent abode there. There will be no
more of the coast for Mr.. Miller. The
thing that took him there mainly was
the fishing, but there is no such fish
ing anywhere along the Pacific as is
afforded in the sparkling and ice cold
streams of the White mountains.
Farther down atp oints more easy of
access, the trout are getting shy, but
nearer the head waters they are album
dant and eighteen of the speckeled
beauties an hour IS considered an av-
erage catch for the average fisherman.
One of Mr.. Graham's boys caught six
ty-one in a little more than two hours.
The ranges are i'm excellent shape;
everywhere the grass comes up to the
sides os a horse and the ground is
carpeted with a thick mat of the dead
grass of last year. That was what en-
listed the sympathy of Mr.. Miller, who
is an old cattleman. That grass is
going to put back into the bust
ness.

.MITCHELIS
STOCK SUIT
Comes Up On Appeal From
ella County
Action For Recovery of
10000 Shares Mitchell
Mining Co. Stock.

The case Of the Mitchell Mining
company against ]. c. Britt, A. It.
Hammons and the Globe National
Bank was yesterday brought up from
the district court for ella county on
appeal. The property involved con-
sists of 10000 shares of Mitchell Min
ing company stock of the par value
of so a share, alleged By George
Mitchell, the head of the plaintiff COM
pany to have been obtained by Britt
by fraud.
The complaint states that Britt call
ed on Mitchell in New York to interest
him in certain mining properties near
Globe consisting of the Parker group
and other claims. In this negotiation
Britt was acting for himself and as
, attorney in fact for Hammons.
1t is alleged that Britt made certain
misrepresentation as to amount and
character Of the ore in the property
but Mitchell knowing of his reputation
in Globe and that he was a competent
mining man, relied on what Britt told
him and agreed to take the properties
over and put IN a 800 ton smelter
making Britt the superintendent of
operation at a salary of $500 a month.
Mitchell said he received reports
from Britt from time to time and all
were Of the most favorable character
Things were turning out so much bet
ter than they had seemed that Britt
thought that his report upon the prop
erty at the time he was trying to
make the sale was little short of a
SANDER
In the meantime arrangements went
on for the smelter; the machinery was
shipped to Globe and was put up and
a time was set for blowing in the
smelter which has cost Mitchell $4,000.
For the first time Mitchell himself
came on the ground a short time before
the smelter was to be blown in and
about the same time Britt left the
country and at the time of the filing
of the complaint was still absent.
Mitchell who is a mining expert
himself soon discovered that the prop
erty was not what it had been repre-
scented to him to be. There was no
ore of the richness described by Britt
and on many of the claims there was
no ore at all. There was really moth
ing for the smclter to do.
The only relief Mitchell asked at the
time was Cor the return of his stock
in exchange for which he would turn
the deeds back to Hammons.
1t was found that of the Mitchell
Mining company stock. Hammons had
received only 5000 shares from Britt;
5000 shares had been put into the
Globe National bank as collateral for
loans to Britt and no accounting has
been made or is mentioned in the com
plant regarding the rest of the stock.

FOUGHT AT a DISTANCE.

The loss in grain in the two ele-

total loss is placed at $1,7OO,OO0. The
fire started in the Burlington ware
house supposedly from a cigarette.
There was an explosion that shook

hundred and fifty men employed i'm
