F|NLETTER DEMANDS PROPER EQUITY
 IN CLAIMS
Brings Suit for Interest in Property of Pinal Noun
 tain Mining Go.

Claiming that an attempt has been made to deprive him of an interest in three mining claims in the Finals, J R. Finletter brought suit against II. II Harvey and the Pinal Mountain Min ing company yesterday, to establish a valid claim to his share of the proper ty.
 The property in question consists oi the Logan, Pine and Sulphide lode claims. which were located January 9 1908.
 Finletter claims that at the time of the location of the claims, that he and Harvey formed a partnership, by which it was agreed that the expense of de- velopment work should be shared equal ly.
 On February l5, 1907, he claims that the Pinal Mountain Mining company was organized with Harvey as president and majority stockholder, no credit be- ing given him for his undivided one half interest in the three claims, which went to make up part of the proper ty of the cOrpoTaton.
 At different times since the formation of the company, Harvey has admitted his claim to an interest in three claims, and agreed to make a settlement on H stock basis, Finlettcr claims, although the latter transaction, according to thl complaint, has never been carried out
 Fmletter asks that he be adiudged the owner of an undivided one-haf interest in the Logan, Pine and Sulphidc claims, that the stockholders of the PinGl Mountain Mining company be com peIed to accept the sum of $G0O as his share of the assessment expense for 1905, 1906, 1907 and 1908, and that nc receive a ProportioRate share of the capital stock of the company.

PRESS NOTES FOR
 ELLEN BEACH YAW

Miss Yaw, as she stepped upon the stage, showed herself possessed of a slender, graceful figure, refined features and sensitive face, tp say nothing of manner intensely feminine and ap- pealing. However, the voice was there and in some respects great surprise, for instead of what one had been led to expect, mere topnote performance, there was disclosed soprano of fine culture and lovely color, of excellent quality throughout its range, and infus- ed with considerable feeling. It is a voice as whole akin to Sembrich s, only young and fresh; it has all the creaminess of the Sembrich at her best, and while not notieeably powerful, it yet filled the vast auditorium perfectly Its carrying power proved inferior to none.
 Miss Yaw's trill is better than let razzini 's--sure, flexible, brilliant and held marvelously long. She was called out again and again loaded with flowers and amidst her pallor and white draper ies, with her fair hair in all disarray, both within and without, the picture looked poor, unhappy Lucia to the life.

SKUNK KILLERS ID SUE COUNTY FOR
 COUNTIES
Will Make Strong Effort to Have Ruling of Judge
 Lewis Set Aside

Holding that the ruling of Judge E. w. Lewis, prohibiting the board of sup ervisors from receiving skunk hides within the courthouse is illegal, mum Der of trappers are preparing to bring suit against the county to test the val idity of the recent order.
 D. Jones appeared before Judge 1T. Il. Pratt yesterday and swore to de. mand on the county for bounty oD 107 skunk hides, seven wild cat hides and one coyote hide.
 D. l.. Edwards made similar affi davit before Judge Hinson Thomas for thirty-four skunk belts and six rae. coon hides
 It was stated by the traPpers that they intended to assign their demands to one person and bring suit against the county to enforce payment of the bounties for the animals which they have killed.
 No suits have been filed as yet, but it is understood that counsel will be retained today and a suit filed as soon as the necessary complaint can be drawn up.
 Judge Lewis issued an order several weeks ago which barred the board of supervisors from receiving skunk hides in the court house, by reason of the fact that they constitute nuisance, This order does not apply to any other class of bounty skin.

 EXAMINATION
Regular Quarterly Session Will Be Held Monday
 and Tuesday

The regular quarterly examination for county teachers certificates will be held in the office of County Superinten dent w. o. Kellner, next Monday and Tuesday.
