MINING DEAL IS BEING HELD UP
 BY LITIGATION
Victor Copper Company Transaction With Jerome New York Copper Com pany Tied Up; Kingman Bank Involved in Affair.
CFrOm Wednesdays Daily Miner)

The Victor Copper company some time ago made a deal whereby its holding in the Jerome field went to the Jerome-New York Copper com pany, but in some way others were brought into the deal and the property is now being held up in a suit between the New York-Verde Copper company, the Victor Copper company, the Je- rome-New York Copper company and William H. Lott, as trustee. The Ari- zona Central Bank of Kingman is a party to the suit.
 It appears that the Victor Copper company deposited in escrow with the Arizona Central Bank of Kingman on the 12th day of June, 1917, deeds cov- ering title to the mining claims at Jerome, which were to be paid for by the issuance to the Victor company of 35O,OO0 shares of it's capital stock. This stock was also to be escrowed pending the financing of the company, large brokerage interests taking up the financing matter. The com plaint alleges that the bank refused to issue the deeds to the Jerome-New York Copper company, but that later, on June 19, 1917, the bank issued deeds to the same property to William H. Lott, trustee.
 The fact of the matter is that some months ago w. w. Lewis went to New York to negotiate the financing of the Victor Copper company. The company was the owner of certain mining prop erty in the Wallapai mountains and at Jerome. Negotiations were carried on with a view of segregating the prop critics and as a result the Jerome New York Copper company was organized. Then came a miXup among the would be financiers, which terminated in the suit.
 Two companies are involved, com posed of New York people. William H. Lott is the trustee of one of the companies. Just what will be the out come of the suits is unknown, but it is expected that there will be a tie up of the companies for many months. Debts aggregating many thousand dol lars stand against the properties, and it was agreed to have a settlement be- fore the deeds were turned. One of the deeds is being held up by the re- corder of Yavapai county, but for what reason is unexplained.

Five persons suffered heat prostra- tions in Needles yesterday, according to reports brought here by arrivals from the river city. There were no deaths, according to these reports. The thermometer ranged between 110 and 120, it was reported. The desert heat was terrific, the hot winds sweeping in from all directions.
 Gee, but it's cool here," said sev- eral passengers on No. 10 today. One traveller, describing his experiences, said he felt as though he were in front of a blast furnace.
 Electric fans instead of bringing comfort, it was said, seemed to gen crate more heat. The report that all electric fans had been ordered turned off could not be verified.

 That Kingman cue artists may have an opportunity to demonstrate their prowess, Roy Fridley of the Bruns- wick Billiard Parlors announced today that he plans soon to install a score board and start pool and billiard tourn- aments. Those making good scores will be entitled to post their scores and enter competition.
 MT. Fridley is a firm believer in newspaper advertising, going on the theory that the public will cheerfully spend its money when the right bar gains are offered. "You may think it rather strange that a pool and bil- Hard hall should advertise, but we have something to sell the same as the merchant.

UNCLE SAM HAS GREAT
 TASK CREATING ARMY
CFrom Wednesdays Daily Miner,

The busiest person on the western continent today is Uncle Sam. Just now busy he is can only be appreci- ated by those who are on the inside and are taking an active part in the conduct of the great undertaking of preparing to place an army of 1,OOO,- 900 men or more in the field, and a foreign field, too.
 To the ordinary person the great est task is in raising the number of men who are to bear arms, arranging for them to lay aside their ordinary business and take up that of learning to be a soldier. But that is the smallest part of the great task.
 Astonishing have been the steps already taken to prepare the nation for vc-. No business in this coun- try ever has attained the magnitude of the present one of providing for an army of 100000 men for the short time of even one year.
 Here is what 100000 men will eat in a year of meat alone:
 Fresh beef, 397, ,638, ,240.
 Fresh mutton, 1861 ,520.
 Bacon, 50,064,78O.
 Corned beef, 3,794,400 2-pound cans.
 Roast beef, 3,794,40 2-pound cans.
 Corned beef hash, 928,140 2-pound cans.
 Dried codfsh, 241 800 pounds.
 Picked mackerel, 85, ,560 pounds.
 Salmon, 2,871 $40 cans.
 The meat, however, is one of the easiest propositions for the army quartermaster's department. The packing business is so highly concen- trated that the plants are able to turn out anything desired. Getting other foodstuffs is harder.
 The flour estimate for the army of 100000 men is 300,070,080 pounds, or 60,000,000 sacks of 50 pounds each. In hard bread the army needs 4,971,- 7S0 pounds, of corn meal some 3,S70,- 66O pounds are used yearly. Other articles in the food ration for 100000 men for one year include:
 Baking powder, No. F cans 2,365,92 Beans, pounds .........36, ,939, 500 Beans, baked, No. cans... 621, ,240 Beans, baked, No. 3 cans... 1,6S3, 300 Rice, pounds ............15 15, ,445 ,440 Hominy, coarse, sacks GOO

Thriving Gold Camp Re fleets Prosperity of Sur rounding District With Number of Properties Re porting Good Ore Strikes.

A representative of the Miner visit ed Oatman yesterday and has the fol- lowing to report from the gold camp:
 The management of the Adams re- ports a favorable showing in the work ings at that property and work being pushed ahead with all vigor. From indications it would not be unreason- able to expect that this property will be among the first to break into the pay ore.
Mohave County miner., 1917-07-21

The last three rounds previous to yesterday brought the crosscut in the Sunnyside through nine feet of ore and no wall in sight. This point was reached from the new shaft, a drift having been run from the 400 level some 300 feet to a point alongside the old shaft. The report current in Oat- man gave the ore an assay value of ST per ton although official confrma- tion of this fact was lacking.
 The officials of this company have consistently kept at work on this prop erty in spite of many difficulties and it now seems that they will be re- warded for their labors.
 Louie Polin, the hustling agent of the Mohave Daily Miner, returned Tuesday from a visit to Goldfeld, Nevada, where he spent some two or three weeks attending to business matters for his business house at that place. He will leave Oatman again shortly for an extended visit in the east and will probably be absent for a couple of months before returning to the gold camp.
 Louie reports that business condi- tions in Goldfeld are fine and that his place of business there is enjoying a healthy financial condition.
 
 Ted Blakely had the misfortune of having his collar bone broken and his shoulder badly cut and smashed by a small caving of rock upon him while at work in the Tom Reed mine some days back and is now about town with his right arm and shoulder swathed in bandage. He is rapidly improving, however, and as the injury is mending quickly, he will likely be back at work within a short time. Ted is a King man boy, having attended school here and his many friends will regret to learn of his injury.
