FORTUNE IS TIED UP IN MINE
 LITIGATION
JEROME NEW YORK co. ASKS $350,00O OR DE- LIVERY OF DEEDS TO THREE CLAIMS IN THE VERDE DISTRICT.
(From Tuesdays Dailv.)

Three mining claims were mislaid in deal between the Jerome New York Copper Company and the Vic tor Copper Company, and the former is now suing the latter and others for the same, or S35O,OOO in damages. The complaint was filed in the Superior court yesterday morning by R. NJ. Lamson and X. II. Favour.
 Named as defendants are the Ari- zona Central Bank of Kingman, the New York-Vcrdc Copper Company and William H. Lott, trustee for the latter, in addition to the Victor.
 The complaint alleges that on June 12, 1917, the Victor deposited in es- crow in the Arizona Central Bank, deeds covering title to the claims, which the Jerome New York was to pay for with 350,000 shares of it's capital stock: that this stock was de posted in escrow also, and evidently turned over to the Victor Copper Company The bank refused, how ever, to issue the deeds, and has con tinucd to refuse demands made in the proper form on it.
 Then, on June 10, says the com plaint, the bank issued deeds cover ing the claims (which are situated in the Verde mining district of Yavapai county) to William H. Lott, trustee for the New York-Vcrde Copper Company, knowing at this time, the status of the negotiations with the Jerome New York for these very claims.
 In the event the bank and the Vic tor Company cannot deliver deeds conveying title to these claims, the Jerome New York asks judgment in the sum of S350000. which is at the rate of Sl a share for the stock all legged to have been paid over in good faith. The plaintiff says that the three claims abut on their other prop crty, and are vitally necessary to the development of the same.
