SALE ATTRACTS
MANY TO THE DISTRICT
(From sundays Daily.l


Returning Friday from a two days
trip to his Billy Boy mines on the
Hassayampa, and to other proper
ties in that district, Ed. Block stated
yesterday there was noticeable every
indication Of new era prevailing ~
the number of claims being worked
and the inflow of miners and pros
pectors to secure locations,
This changed condition from
few months ago Is attributed to the
sale of the McNulty-Birch group Of
copper mines to George Mitchell
which signalizes big operations for
the future, and the recognition oil
that belt by this experienced mining
engineer as Of attractive posSioll''
ties.
Another straw which indicates the
way the wind is blowing in tina, sec
ton is the probable resumption on
a big scale of the Climax go'o
mines, It being reported that 10 .
few months at the fsrthest TINS
property would begin operations OF
a large scale and on permanen'
basis. Mr.. Block states that inc
interest at present manifested can DC
shown by every foot of ground beng
located along Board. Little and DIX
Copper Creeks, aggregating nun
dreds OF acres. Where surface ind''
cations are favorable. prospect holes
are going down and the country
on the eve Of new era.

Court of Arizona
Aside from tho fact that the con
,roversy involved the major part oi
the very valuable group OF claims
near Union Pass. Mohavc county,
now owned by the Frisco Mines
and Power Company. the law suit
was unique. The group OF claims
involved is locally known as the
Tragedy Group" and had been
owned and worked by Mr.. GaddiS,
OF kngman. and others. for seven
or eight years. prior to the advent
of Pcachy into the case. During
the year 1907. the owners did no
assessment work on any of the
claims. but on January |. 1903, re-
located them in their own names
fully performing the assessment
work within ninety days. Early in
1909 the owners bonded the claims
to syndicate since merged into
the Frisco Mines aud Power Com
pany These men performed extcn
sivc development. constructed q
large mill. and had expended abou,
100000 on the property. and were
practically ready to begin opera
tons OF large scale when Mr.
Peachy appeared on the scene il
September. 1910. and proceeded to
locate three claims in the yer,

followed this up in December. 1910

notices of relocation contained A.,
declaration that the claims were 70.

sounded ingenious, but the court,
did not take these contentious seri.
ously. Without saying so the eour,
evidently found it hard to under.
stand why a man who had owned
mining claim for years and ex.
pended much money and work upou
it, should have any less right to re.
locate it than one who had never
had anything to do with it,
But the main point, of course. wa,
that the claims had never been
abandoned SO as to become subject
To relocation at all. or at least Il
they had been abandoned, III,
abandonment was cured, with ali
tights in the claims restored by a
resumption Of work on large scale
before the adverse locations Of

therefore, was against Peachy and

The theory is that the rats have

have deserted their underground

the rats are there by the hundreds
