CELEBRATED CASE
 IN SUPREME COURT
Brother of the President of the Mormon Church is the
 Defendant.

Phoenix, Jan. 18.-Au application for a reversal of the decision of the trial court in the case of the territory vs. Elias S. Kimball and Richard A. Shipp was heard by the Supreme Court today. This case is from the district court of Graham county ln which -Kimball and Shipp were conviot ed of obtaining money by rieans.ofs false representations. Because of the prominence of Kim ball, who is. brother of Andrew Kimball, president, of be Mo- mon church of Utah, and the further fact that both these men were prominent ly connected with that church, the case has attracted wide attention. The men, .aremeharged with having operated an extremely successful swindling scheme of the get-rich- quick variety in Graham county.
 From the argument of Judge F. S. Nave, who appeared for the plain tiffs in error. it seems that about three years ago these men came to the Gila valley from Utah. They car red. letters of- introduction from some of the most prominent mem- bers of the Mormon church, and by reason of their church connections and these letters, succeeded in selling e30, 900 worth of stock in the Monte zuuaa Orange & Banana company, which was said to be operating large plantations near Tampico, Mexico.
 It was claimed at the trial that the stock; which sold for e25O share, was worth only g a share; that it was not treasury stock but the stock of individuals, and that the representa- tions made by these men relative to the holdings ot the company were gross exsggeratious. The men were convicted undeI what is known as the ''confidence game" statute.
 Judge Nave argued that there was no confidence game; that the men were just what they represented themselves to be; and that the stock was worth at that time and is still worth as much as $500 a share. He said that it appears from the evil dence that John Henry Smith, the leading apostle of the Mormon church, had youched for the char acter and standing of the men, and that in this view of the case the charge that they had violated. .. this particular statute would not lie.
 On behalf of the: ter rritory it is claimed that the men operated a swindling scheme and that their con viction under the statute was per fectly proper.

Quits Envelope Printing.

Acting on the recommendation of congress, secured by the printers of the United States after years of hard fighting, the postmaster general has announced that after January 1, 1911 the government will discontinue the printing of stamped' envelopes and recommends that the same be done by the local newspapers in every town where there is a newspaper and by special permit for the towns near est the newspaper where a town has DO paper of its own. No large town will be allowed to have a monopoly on the printing to the detrimeut of the smaller newspapers.
 A uniform scale of printing will be prepared by the postoffice -depart- ment and insisted upon, or the news. paper will not be sold the stamped envelopes for printing. The scale of printing will be such that a reason able profit can be made by the offices printing them. The department will also make a ruling that no hrst-class mail will be allowed transmission through the mails unless it has a written or printed return card there on.

Wagsta fl and Alexander have been on the ground for the past two months plac- ing the machinery, and now that they are operating have large force of men at work and getting the gold too.

HUGE MINE DEAL
 RUMORED PENDING.
Report Says That Guesenheims Are
 About to Get Arizona Propefties.

Phoenix.-Reports that a gigantic mining deal is being consummated, involving the sale of the Saddle Mountain and the London-Arizona to the Guggenheims, have reached this city. It has long been an open secret that the Guggenheims have had envious eyes on the Christmas prop critics, and it, iss stated that the Gug. genheim engineers have been investi- gating the properties extensively. It is also stated that one of the engineers 1eaked," and stated that the Guggenheims have already acquired the Saddle Mountain. and London-Arizona, and are now after several smaller surrounding proper ties.
 This report carries with probable important bearing upon operations of the Development company properties in Arizona, of. which the Tombstone Consolidated Mines company is one of the most important and largest of the holdings. The Christmas prop critics were acquired by Frank Murphy and associates last year and involved over s1,Ooo,000.
 Should this report of the sale to the Guggenheims be true, it means that funds will at once be available for the Development company oper- ations and will give ample provision. for carrying out the plans of the Tombstone company and other sub sidiary companies of the Develop ment company in Arizona.

erty; and once ayear Thanksgiy-
ing day is fittingly observed by
