Surged about them.
Middle Butte Is a rhyolite out

The other strike was reported In
Pine Tree canyon, 20 miles from
here.
Prospectors poured into the strike
area in spite Of warnings OF vet

expensive machinery Is necessary TO
extract the yellow metal from the
ore carried out Of the hills.
Meanwhile George Holmes. dis
coverer OF the Silver Queen, who

suit Was Contested
The Cameron county district was
seeking 20 refund its 100000 In out
standing bonds at 49.8 cents on the
dollar through q loan from the RFC.
It failed TO sign the necessary
amount Of bonds to the refunding
agreement. and brought the suit In
federal court TO force In the re-
mainder Of the bondholderS. The
action was contested by G.. L. Ash
ton, y. w. Terry as trustee. Terry
White, &. w. Griffin. T.. ". Wood
and the West Coast Life Insurance
company who alleged they owned
five percent Of the districts out
standing bonds.
The case was submitted on briefs
which the judge held under adj
visement in Houston for some time.
The district was represented by A.
l.. Montgomery, Greenwood AZ
Lewis and w. d. Lewis while the
contestants we're represented by
w. r. Hamblen. Baker. Bolts, An
drews AZ Wharton and Palmer
Hutchinson.
The judges opinion in part read:
There Is no allegation and ap-
parently no claim that an effort
has been made by the petitioner
(the water district) to collect the
tax levied 10 pay the bonds. IL
must be assumed there has been
no such effort. There Is no allie
CATION and apparently no claim
that there has been any loss OF. or
depreciation In the value Of. the
property In such district upon which
such tax Il q lien and no showing
that the full amount OF the tax
may not be speedily realized and
collected by the diligent enforce
ment by petitioner Of the law for
collection thereof.
Unfair Proceeding
- Petitioner. an agency OF
a sovereign state, and without per-
mission OF the state is asking that
II be relieved OF more than so per-
cent OF its bonds.
without explanation as
to status OF other taxpayers In the
district, petitioner contents itself
with the allegation that the farmers
In the district during a period OF
time not set forth have been unable
to sell their products for an
amount sufficient 70 pay the tax.
There being no allegation other
than this, there can be no proof
other than this. Clearly therefore,
petitioner by its petition does not
present a case authorizing this court
to strike down more than so per-
cent OF the face value OF the bonds
held by contestants, and require
contestants 70 receive, In full set
Element thereof. approximately 49s
percent Of their face value, when
so far al appears from petitioners
petition there may be funds avail
able or funds may become avail
able or funds may become avail
the part Of petitioner In collecting
the tax levied TO pay the bonds In
full.
"'' Clearly, the Act OF Con-
greSS, II valid, does not contemplate
or authorize a proceeding so I'M
fair and inequitable.
1T follows from what has been
said that petitioners petition should
be dismissed for want Of jurisdic-
tion."
