LOCAL MINING CASE IS DECIDED BY
 STATE COURT

The case of J. A. Hagan vs. w. w. Dutton, Richard T. O'Donnell, J. L. Await, c. c. Dorsey and Morenci Consolidated Mines Company was this week confirmed in favor of.@W. W. Dutton and associates by the State Supreme Court.
 This case was tried in the local court before Judge Pattee in March, 1918, and the judgment of that court was in favor of Dutton. The case at the time attracted quite a bit of notice in mining circles, by reason of number interesting and imp Lortant points of mining law in volved which at that time had never been passed upon by the state ap- pellate court.
 The ground in controversy, known as "Red Metal Group" was located on January 1, 1917, by J. L. Await of this district, who transferred to w. W. Dutton and associates. On July 18th the Red Metal Group was located by Olive, also residing in this district, who transferred to J. A. Hagan.
 Subsequently Hagan brought suit against Dutton and associates to quiet title in the Olive locations. It was contended by Hagan that there was no discovery of mineral upon which to base the mining location that the location monuments used by Await in his location were in part adopted monuments, having beer erected by other parties and in part were erected by Await upon the ground prior to the first day o1 January, 1917, when the ground be came open to location, and tha1 Await and Dutton failed to location work.
 | The mining laws of the United ! States and the State of Arizona re auire that before locator may in
 tiate location on mineral land he must make a discovery of minera ;n place. This has been the rule o1 law since the initiation of mining Jaws in the Unted States and is es pecially applicable to quartz lode mining where definite veins betweer walls are present, and the minera lcay properly be described as il place. It has generally been ad mitted that the law was not broae enough technically to include righ of location upon the large porphyr! copper deposits such as are presen in this district, the porphyry being q huge deposit not technically "ir place" as confined between walls, ant very often no mineral of commercial value being present on the surface Locations upon this porphyry whicl have been followed by development work disclosing mineral in commer cial quantities have been held suffic tent by the U. s. Land Departmen for the issuance of U. s. minera patents, but the sufficiency of 1oca tions upon this character of groun had never been pasesd upon by

CLIFTON INVESTORS BACK FROM TEXAS
 0|L FIELDS

R. H. Pringle and M. W. Juelg returned from the Texas Oil Fields Tuesday evening. These gentlemen report much activity in the scramble for the liquid gold. Millions and millions of dollars are being expend- ed for material, labor and acreage, it being almost impossible to buy any acreage around the northwest part of the Burkburnett field under S25,000 per acre.
 Wichita Falls, the center of the big boom, is one mad mass of strug- giing humanity. It is out of the question to get sleeping accomoda- tions; as fast as one man gets up another is ready to take his place. You see people from every part of the globe looking for locations eith- CT in business or the oil game, and as Barnum said there is one born every minute and two ready to take them.
 Freight congestion is so bad that you must have a permit for any thing shipped to the oil fields. The tracks are crowded for miles with lumber and casing and other mater ial that goes with the oil game.
 The farmers are going to lose their wheat crop, being unable to se- cure help to harvest the crops. They are offering seven dollars a day, loom and board, for eight hours, and there are hundreds and hundreds of n.en walking the streets of Wichita Falls doing nothing but grating on the public.
 Thirty thousand people are in and cut of Fort Worth every day and this city has grown from 100000 popu- lation to 100000 within year
 Building operations in Fort Worth, Dallas, Ranger, Wichita Falls. East land and Cisco are booming. The Prairie Oil and Gas Company paid $126,0OO for corner lot in East land and will build a large office building immediately. Cisco has several five-story buildings under way. Fort Worth has four new bank buildings and $2,OOO,O0O hotel un- der construction. Cisco and East land are paving and laying sewer and water pipes. A thirty-mile rail road is under construction from Eastland to Breckenridge. The on ly thing that is not receiving any at tention in the way of public improve ment is the roads, and until this ob- stacle is remedied, improvements will be retarded.
 Boost for Greenlee
 The good roads of Greenlee coun- ty are becoming well advertised While enroute to Fort Worth foul gentlemen were discussing good roads and one of the party spoke up anc said: "Boys, if you want to ses some good roads take a trip tt Greenlee county, Arizona, and yor will have the pleasure of riding ovel the best dirt roads in the grea l Southwest. and, furthermore, the! are kept in first class condition"

PAYMENT IS MADE 0N SILVER MINES
 NEAR M0RENC|

That the Clifton-Morenci district will soon enter the lists of silver producers was made an assured fact when on Sunday evening last, in the office of H. A. Elliott, the Stargo Syndicate made payment to the orig inal owners and the property known locally as the Stargo Silver Belt Min ing Company passed into the hands of Mike Hannon and associates.
 The property transferred consists of twenty-six mining claims located a mile and half from Morenci and in past years has been worked by Mexicans on a lease who shipped the richest ore to smelters at -El Paso and Douglas. In this manner eleven hundred carloads of ore were shipped when silver was selling at 50 and 60 cents per ounce. There never has been any machinery on the property and the mining was done with hammer and drill, using a windlass and a horse whim for the hoisting.
 The present price of silver, and the demand for the white natal the world over, is guarantee that for several years to come every ton of the Stargo ores can be mined at a handsome profit. A conservative es- innate of the amount of ore actually in sight has been placed at 50,00O tons, with an average value of from $15.0O to $20.0O per ton. The de- velopment possibilities of the Stargo are great and more than one mining engineer and metallurgical engi- neer have made a favorable report on the Stargo mines.
 Among these may be mentioned Bernard Mcdonald, consulting engi- neer for the Alvarado Mining Co.,, J. M. Callow, of the General Engi- neer Co.,, of Salt Lake; D. V. Fen essey, of Fl Paso, who is at present consulting engineer for the Duncan Mining & Milling Co.,, now erecting 5O-ton mill near Steeple Rock; and H. R. Brandenburg, formerly with the Shannon Co.,. as chemist.
 M. J. Hannon made an examination of the property six months ago an1 at the conclusion of his examination took a bond and lease on the prop erty, subject to approval of the ab stract of title. The title was aprov ed this week by George J. Stoneman, attorney at law. of Phoenix, Arizona, who came here for the purpose, in company with E. A. Sawyer, of Winslow, Arizona, who is trustee for the syndicate who have taken ov- CT the property.
 Leonard Loehr, formerly foreman for the Copper Queen Co.,, at Bis bee, will be the mine superintendent in the working of the Stargo prop erty and work was begun this week.
 The value of the Stargo property under proper management, and equipped with mining machinery. is well known in local circles and a number of our local citizens in Cliff ton and Morenci are financially in terested in the Stargo.
