CANYON CASE |S
 BOUND FUR TOP

After having run the gamut of the superior and supreme court of Ari- zona during a period of litigation that has lasted for several years, the case of Ralph H. Cameron vs. w. w. Bass has been appealed to the su- preme court of the United States. In a petition to that highest court of the land, filed in the supreme court of Arizona yesterday, Ralph H. Cam eron asks for a writ of error.
 The case originated several years ago over a mining claim on the brink of the Grand Canyon and known as the Cape Horn mining claim. Cam eron applied for a patent to the claim and was informed that the secretary of the interior had decided that the claim was not mineral in character.
 w. w. Bass thereupon went on the land, and Cameron sued in the Coco nino county superior court to have him put off, but lost the decision
 Appealing to the supreme court, the decision was upheld. He now carries it to the United States supreme court

established by Healy in 1913. Through a deal conSummated yesterday Healy is once more in full possession of the paper and plant he sold last summer, and is in position to re- sume his. activities upon broadened scale, better equipped than ever before
 To Healy and his consistent boost ing the Casa Grande valley probably owes more than to any one other in dividual or influence. Not long after he established the Bulletin, Healy inaugurated a vigorous campaign for the advancement and betterment of the Casa Grande section through earnest and intelligent advocacy of the development of the underground flow of water and the installation of pumping plants, as well as urging the utilization of the water available by gravity in the cultivation of the thirsty acres of the section in which he had cast his lot. As a result the fame of the Casa Grande section has been spread broadcast, pumping plants dot the valley in every direc- tion and hundreds of homeseekers and farmers have been drawn to the district and have found that for which they were seeking.
 The Casa Grande Bulletin will soon be installed in a new home, hand some and adequate building being planned to accommodate the plant. In a short time, with the completion of the proposed building, the Bulletin will be the most complete and com fortably located weekly newspaper plant in Central Arizona. And back of Healy and his paper will be the good wishes and assistance of some of the best people of the Casa Grande district, business men, bankers and ranchers being included in this cate- gory.
 That Healy, starting out anew, under these suspicious conditions, will succeed in giving to Casa Grande a greater, better and more infientiai Bulletin than ever before is the be- | lief of all who are familiar with, the man his capabilities and his op- portunities.
 1 Healy came to Arizona in 1889 and | is today one of the best known and best liked newspapermen in the 1 Southwest He has been connected with papers in Nogales, Cananea, Courtland and other small towns. For I a time he was a member of the staff 1 of The Arizona Republican, which paper now joins with Healys many 1 friends in wishing him the fullest measure of success and prosperity. l

Hart Last Time at Lamara

When William $. Hart, appearing at the Lamara for the last times today in The Silent Man. ends his engagement tonight, there will have been brought to close an engagement of real merit, and one that has been exceptionally well received in the city. Hart occupies a position peculiarly his own in the world of motion picture. To use a hackneyed expression, this is a typical Hart picture, but it goes further than that, and presents this famous star in a role that eclipses anything he has ever done for the camera.
 Charles Kenyon, who is responsible for the story, seemed to have in mind the excellent adaptability of Hart's style of acting for the role of Silent Bud Marr,' while Hart seemed to readily appreciate the excellent oppor- tunities which the role offers.

The front of virtually every build

pie who had rushed out of the build
