Judge Ellis Most Likely Man If New Federal District
 Court Is Established of Northern Tier of Counties
HAS BACKING OF
 ALL THE LAWYERS
Present District Court DOckets Are Crowded and Judge Sawtelle Is Over worked; Is Up to Presi- dent Wilson.

Judge John A. Ellis of the Superior Court of Mohave county is being con- sidered for appointment as a federal judge of a new United States district court, embracing the northern tier of counties in Arizona, according to word from Washington this week. The movement is said to have been favor ably considered at the national cap ital. It is known that the bar of the several northern counties are almost unanimous in advocating the appoint ment of Judge Ellis.
 At the present time the dockets in the federal court in this state are so crowded with actions of various sorts that it is a physical impossibility for a judge to give his attention to all of them, and the establishment of a new Judicial district appears to be only de- sirable, but also highly advisable, if the volume of business in the higher court is to be handled with any degree of efficiency. Judge Sawtelle at the present time is one of the hardest worked jurists among the ranks of the federal judges, and but little time is allowed to elapse between the sessions of the United States court.
 The appointment of the judge rests in the hands of President Wilson, and it is no more than reason to expect that he would select some one faith ful to the principles of democracy and one residing in the northern tier of counties. Naturally, much consider ation would be given to the qualifica- tiOns of the appointee.
 According to the expression of at torneys in the various northern corn- ties, Judge Ellis seems to be in line for the appointment on account of his special qualifications as a jurist and the fact that he has always stood firm by the democratic administration. As a jurist, his rulings have come to com mand great deal of respect from the legal fraternity in all sections of the state.
 He has occupied the Superior Court bench in Mohave county three years and has been called to every one of the fourteen counties of the state to hear and determine complicated cases in instances where the presiding judge was disqualified from one reason or another. He has been called to hear the Hull estate case at Prescott, one of the most complicated in Arizona in many years. Few of his rulings have been set aside by the higher courts. It is said that practically all members of the various bar associations will in dorse Judge Ellis when the opportune time comes.

MC CRACKEN MINE IS
 DRIVING DEEP TUNNEL
 ID TAP RICH ORE BODY

The McCracken Silver-Lead com pany is still driving it's deep tunnel which is destined to tap the big vein at a depth of several hundred feet below the apex. The drift is being run on an interesting vein and about 70 feet has to be driven ahead before the main vein is encountered. The work is being pressed with all speed and before the first of October the connection should be made.
 Splendid lead-silver ore is being taken from the present drift and a large tonnage is being opened. When the larger body is encountered the drift will be carried along in that vein and tonnage developed as rapidly as possible. When sufficient ore is de- veloped a large milling plant, already designed, will be installed at the prop erty.
 The company has one of the most promising mining propositions in the county and with transportation facil- ities overcome and milling facilities provided it should soon be on a good financial basis.The company has been financed so far by J. H. Hoffman, and it is to his efforts that the mine owes its present excellent condition.

WORKING IN FIVE PER CENT ORE;
 VEIN FOUR FEET WIDE

Superintendent Hollister, of the Le- viathan Mines company, was a King man visitor the first of the week, and reported that the shaft on the proper ty was now in five per cent ore, there being better than four feet in width of the high grade. The shaft is near ing the 200 level and has been in good ore a large part of the way down, all though sinking was supposed to be carried on in the footwall. It is the impression that the vein is gradually widening and that an immense body of the ore will be encountered at the greater depth. It is the intention of the management to carry the shaft to a depth of 250 feet, from which level a crosscut will be run to another vein of the group that shows high values in copper on the surface.
 When the reader realizes that mo- lybdenite is worth about $2.50 per pound and that the raw ore now being taken from the shaft is worth S25O per ton some idea can be gained Of the wonderful richness of this prop erty. The ore shoot has been opened for a length of 500 feet and averages better than 12 feet in thickness.

JUDGE ELLIS ID HEAR HULL
 ESTATE CASE
Local Jurist Will be Called To Prescott to Try Fam Ous Old Suit Involving Mining Property in Yava- pal County.

One of the most important mining suits in the history of the state will be
 tried before Judge John A. Ellis. oi this county, at Prescott, when that
 action is finally set down for trial
 being entitled William M. Kemp and
 others against the estate of George
 W. Hull and the United Verde Copper
 company.
 Hull was one of the principal share holders in the old Hull Verde Conner company, and just prior to his death made a deal by which the interests of the corporation went to the United Verde copper company for approxi- bately one million dollars. Kemp and other shareholders are now trying to get at Hull's estate, alleging that Hull sold to them personal stock while mak- ing the purchasers believe it was treasury stock When no work was done on the mines, except that done by Hull, from what he claims was his own claim, the shareholders became and delved into the matter of treasury stock. After Hull ex- pended considerable money on the mines he brought suit against the company and obtained judgment for a large amount. It was in this way, it is alleged, that he became possessed of the titles to the mining property.
 Some years ago Hull and young fellow named Dillon began the devel- opment of the Hull copper and Dillon went to New York to finance it. After considerable work in the eastern ,ities he was taken i'll and died. Hull owned the mines and Dillon's estate got DO benefit from it, although there was considerable ugly talk about the It is probable that all his will be threshed out in the suit.

WAR INJECTING NEW
 LIFE INTO ALL LINES
 OF NATIONS BUSINESS

That all lines of business all ready are feeling the inspiration of war conditions is shown in Bradstreet's report for last week. Touching on failures during Au- gust this year and last, it says that business failures were 23 per cent less than year ago, and in volved 9 per cent less in liabil- ities. This is taken as a hopeful sign and indicates that conditions will continue to improve through out the fall and winter months.
 Bradstreets says further that distributive trade grows with the approach of the fall festival sea- son and cooler weather. There is an enlarged number of buyers in the market and that both wholesale and retail trade is good.
 "The retail trade and collections are fair to good", the report says. "Crop reports are good, but warm fall weather is needed for corn. The wheat crop estimates still are increasing. Government buying is on an enormous scale, with profits lighter than were expect ed.
 Industry of all kinds is active, but price-fixing uncertainty dom mates most of the large lines. The ebb in ordinary building con tinues, but government work swells the demand for materials. Failures have been few and clear ings large"

FORT RILEY Is GREAT
 ARMY TOWN; MADE
 READY IN NINETY DAYS

FORT RILEY, Kan. Sept. 15- American army engineers have set a record in town-building. In 90 days the military camp has been built here, capable of housing 10000 "Sammies". This was beyond the expectation of the most sanguine. In fact, private contractors said Git can't be done". Uncle Sam has convinced them that when he starts to do a thing, it "can" be done and done right.
 Already several thousand soldiers of the draft army are here. When they arrived, they found the army town ready for them. Wooden bar racks with all modern conveniences had been constructed. The quarters are of substantial construction, neatly arranged, with sewers and every san itary consideration. The camp covers a space of one mile wide by nine miles long.
 Work has been provided for a small army of men. Carpenters from the surrounding country have been em- ployed to a large extent and the very highest wages for all labor has been paid. Plumbers have been earning SIS a day-$6 for the first 8 hours and double time for the next hours.
