RELOCATION OF CLAIMS.

In a decision affecting the location
of mining property, the supreme court
Saturday reversed the judgment of
the superior court of Cochise county
in the case of E. c. Stratton VS.. the
Copper Queen Consolidated Mining
company, and remanded the case for
a new trial The decision affirms the
principle laid down in the federal law
relating to the relocation of mining
claims, and is in effect that where
the possessory right of the original
locator was not being contested, that
the locator was not required to locate
the land as an abandoned or forfeited
property, but that the land was open
to relocation as if no location of the
same had ever been made.
Action was commenced by Stratton
in support of an adverse filed by hil-
in the landoffice against the applica-
ton by the Copper Queen for patent
of certain group of mining claims,
which included the Eagle No. loca-
ton. He contended that the location
as made by Geesaman and Helig, who
sold their interests to the mining
company was void because in their
notice of location the land was not
entered as abandoned or forfeited
properly and the court, sustaining
his objection, rejected the location
notice AID proof of the performance
of the annual work on the claim as
required Dy law.
The supJenlee court in passing on
the case decided that under the stat
ute, paragraph 3241, r. S. Of Ariz-
ona, 1901, before it's amendment, the
location notice would only have been
required to state that the property
had been abandoned in case it was
actually, when relocated, being To-
Gated as abandoned property The
decision says in part:
In order to complete a valid Ioca-
ton of the ground in question the To-
Gators We're not required to state if
the whole or any part of the location
was located as abandoned property
because they were not in fact locat-
ing the ground as abandoned property
but were locating the ground in the
same manner as other public miner
al land is located-that is as an orig
inal location. If the location is To-
Gated as abandoned property, under
the local statute before it's amend
ment, then in that case only the To-
cation noti'e was required to state
the fact"
The prior location was made by T.
G. Condor in 1900, and the location
made by Geesaman and Helig in 1903.
after the property had been abandon
ed. Stratton located the claim in
1907. The case was taken up on ap
peal by the Copper Queen company

The Swansea Mines.

Writing from Bouse a few days
ago, c.. c. Thompson, a well known
mining engineer, states that the
heavy shipments of ore leaving the
camp are estimated at 200 tons per
day, with Humboldt as the marketing
center. He also stated that the
mine force was being added to, and
it was reported miners were being
employed as fast as they arrive.
Judge Thomas is in charge, and the
Old camp is passing into an era that
indicates permanency for the future.
MIR Thompson also stated that
three carloads of mining machinery
had been freighted cut Of Bouse dur
ing the week by Colonel Dunn, for a
placer project near Quartzsite, and
this undertaking was attracting capi-
tai for other pursuits in that line.
There is also noticeable quite a move
ment to revive old quartz mines,
which is probably due to what is be-
ing determined at Swansea under
practical management.

THE MINES
OF PARKER
FOR GOLD, SILVER AND COPPER
HOLD OUT BETTER INDUCE
MENTS THAN PARKER.

With the price of copper touching
the twenty cents per pound mark, it
has given mining wonderful stimu-
lus, and new mines are being opened
up in many places while old mines
that have been lying idle for years
are being reopened. In fact mining
seems to be about the only thing the
European war has stimulated into
activity in the United States.
OF this revival OF the mining BUSH
ness, no place is receiving more at
tention than the Parker country
After four years of inactivity in min
ing, the whole country around Parker
has aWoke as if from a rip Van
Winkle" sleep into a busy, bustling
mining disrtict. Even at this unfa-
vorable season of the year, when the
weather is hot and water in the
mountains is scarce, prospectors are
securing the hills for new finds and
every old prospect hole in the coun-
try has been relocated and prepara-
tlons being made to ship ore from
many. New and rich finds are re-
ported every day, some of them of
more than ordinary promise.
Swansea, after three years of idle
ness, has reopened and is now work
more than hundred men
The Ruby, one of the properties Of
the Billy Mack mine, started taking
out ore Monday and will soon be a
steady shipper, employing force of
fifty men or more.
We can name more than two dozen
properties within radius Of fifteen
miles of Parker that are at this time
getting out ore for shipment, this
aside from the many promising pros
poets now working.
Parker is on the eve of mining
boom, not a boom of the mushroom
variety, but healthy, permanent
growth. Some of the big mining men
Of the country are coming here, see
ing and becoming interested. And
why not? No section of the south
west holds out such inducements to
mining men as are to be found here
Our supply of gold, silver, copper and
other valuable ores cannot be exceH-
ed, if surface indications go for any
thing. Depth has in every instance
demonstrated the permanency of the
ore bodies. Big and permanent ore
bodies, good values, favorable con-
di!ions for mining and smelling are
all to be found here.
The time IS at hand when Parker
is to come into its own as one of
the big rich permanent mining rtowns
Of the greatest mining state in the
Union, and justly she is entitled to
that distinction

BOOZE MUST BE RETURNED

Liquors, wines and beer seized by
officers on search warrants used in
enforcing the prohibition law can
neither be destroyed nor confisca-
ted by the court after having
been used as evidence in cases
where violation of the law is charged
according to a decision rendered by
Judge William F. Cooper of the Pima
county superior court, recently.
Judge Cooper held that liquor
seized on search warrant must be re
turned to the parties from whom it is
seized after the liquor has served its
purpose of evidence. All that is nee
essary is for the defendant to make
the proper demand for the return OF
his property. The judge held that if
the liquor can be used for a purpose
that is legal by the owner, after the
court is through with it as evidence,
it must be returned since, the court
has no right to presume that it will

going to be a fair and just committee and
report back the facts to you as that COM
mittee see them.
The proposition that / offer to the

indicated that you cannot carry your
proposition / do not think the House
wants to concur in the Senate amend

ave will not solve the question. but We can
say to our constituents and to the people
of the District of Columbia that before
we come to a final vote in the next Con-
Sress-and 1t is going to the next Con-
gress whether you adopt this proposition
or motive will give an opportunity for

anybody wants TO present to them, and
have that informat ton laid before this

carried, as the conference report has
been adopted by the House. $11, $50, 5s4. or
Sl2.95o less than the current law.
Mr.. Page said: For the fiscal year.
1915. the estimated revenue from the COL
lection of taxes in the District. matched
by an equal amount from the Treas
ury Of the United States. was in round
numbers s14.5Oo,00.
The committees of the Congress,
and Congress itself. in making appro-
priations for the District for the fiscal
year. 1915, appropriated Sl,172,5SS,
leaving surplus of $c.327.00O in the
Treasury. The estimated revenues for
the fiscal year 1916. from tax collected
in the District, was sS,O00,0OO. That
amount matched under the present law
by 100000 from the Treasury OF the
United States would make an available
sum of s16.000.000 for the conduct of
the affairs of the District for the fiscal
year for which We are legislating.
The conference report as adopted
this morning, leaves a surplus of
s414o.41S in the Treasury of the
