Fail Bolt Minn., and then entered the law school of the University of Nebraska After receiving his degrees of E. IL. he started his career before the bar in the city Of Lincoln. Nebraska.

He resigned after eighteen months of service on the bench in order to continue the private practice of law, and is recognized as one of the able and best known law yers of the state.
 He is retained as the legal repre- sentative of the Shattuck-AriZona Cop per Company and the Miners and Mer- chants Bank, ard has an extensive clientele throughout the county and state. Judge Sutter is prominent in the mining activities of the southwest and is a director in the Del Monte Copper Company, which was recently organized by Boston capitalists with a capitalization of two million shares. No stock was offered the public and the six thousand shares sold were talk en up entirely by the organizers and $300.O00 placed in the treasury for im- mediate development work.
 He is also secretary and director of the Gadsden Copper Company, whose 3S claims adjOin the Verde Extension. The C. & A. Company has an option on the majority of stock of this com pany and is proceeding with dvelop- ment work.
