A PRETTY POINT OF LAW COMES
 UP IN COURT
CONSTRUCTION OF LIMIT ATION STATUTE ON A DAMAGE DEBT ORDER BY A. C. C. SOUGHT IN FEDERAL COURT.
(From Tuesdays Oaiiy)

What Judge Sawtelle termed pretty law point" was raised in the case of the Arizona Brewing Com pany against the Chicago & North western Railway Company in the Federal court yesterday morning. Floyd NJ. Stahl of Phoenix, attorney for the railroad, demurred to the complaint, alleging that the statute of limitations had effaccd the plaintiffs cause of action. r. L. Haworth ar pued the demurrer for the brewing company.
 It seems that the company has se- cured an order, dated November 15, 1915 for repayment of damages by the railroad. from the corporation com mission. The order specified Febru- ary l5, l9l6, as the time when the order became operative. Stahl held that before filing a suit to compel pay ment under the order, the company had waited beyond the F months from November. Haworth contended that the statute meant the limitation should be dated one year following the date upon which the order became operative-that is. February 15. He held that if the commission had made the order operative on October 1st, l9l6, it would have given the com pany but a month and a half in which to have prepared its suit to compel payment.
 Judge Sawtellc listened to few ar gumcnts. and then stated that as his decision would be controlling for this district, he desired further time in which 10 consider the case. The at torncys stated they would submit | briefs.

MINING ON THE BOOM AROUND
 PARKER
NOTEWORTHY STRIKE IS MADE ON PRIDE GROUP; ARIZONA REVENUE OR DERS TRUCKS AND SHIP PING WILL BEGIN.

PARKER. Ariz., March l9.-Many important developments have marked the past week in the mining districts around Parker Noteworthy among them is the strike on the Pride group, where every shot IS revealing more and more of an ore body which car rics exceptional values in gold and copper. To date about IS feet of the ore shoot has been opened on the l25-foot level and no walls are in sight.
 During the week the Arizona Rev cnuc placed orders for four five-ton trucks and ore shipments will begin immediately upon their arrival. There are about 400 tons of high-grade ore awaiting shipment on the dumps at the new shaft on Revenue No. 6. The shaft, according to Superintendent Morse, is all in orc with a streak of high-grade about five feet wide car rying considerable values in gold. The lola, which will be used by the Western Arizona Copper Company 10 freight ore down the Colorado river 10 loading station here, was launched Wednesday.

Considerable orc is sacked await ing shipment on the Western Ari- zona.
 Delay in the delivery of machinery ordered some time ago IS seriously handicapping work on the Arizona Standard where T. ]. Carrigan of Los Angeles and ]. P. Sweeney are heav- ily interested. Approximately 3.00O | feet of work has been done on the property, including a 225-foot shaft, and considerable good ore has been taken out.

 The Mohican Copper Company, op- crating a few miles from Parker, is making something of record locally The shaft is already down 465 feet and at this depth some native copper has been mined. Indications are that a large body will be encountered with in the next week or so. The Moiicar is installing additional machinery, and working two shifts, is coming to the front as one of the real mines of the district.
 While considerable building ma tcrial is on hand, local contractors are worried lest the threatened rail road tic-up will materially delay con struction work. The mining boom here has stimulated building and al present more than S33,OO0 is being spent in building. including a two story concrete hotel, a garage and several residences.
