TURQUOISE MINE THE
SUBJECT OF LITIGATION


Attorney Robert Z. Morrison and
{. s. Clark have gone to KirgmaI
on what is said to be very i'm
portant mine litigation suit over 4
turquoise property, title to which is
involved.
Morrison is to represent I'M
caphcr. the defendant. and Clark
is Tor Barman, the plaintiff. The is
sues involved are said to be found
cd on the ground that in selling
the land Umcapher alleges that the
deed did not embrace the turquoise
deposits, while on the other hand
Barman states that in buying the
land designated. it was understood
that he was to acquire everything
thereon. and which included these
valuable stone mines.
Mohave county is somewhat IA
nous as storehouse of the tur-
quoise, and for many years these
gems have found a ready market
in the Eastern cities. The quality
of the Barman-Umcapher deposits
is reported to be OF higher class
than ever produced, hence the lively
litigation for securing possession OF
the small tract of ground covered
and explored to limited depth.
