The Mammoth Case.
The Tucson Citizen givea the
1 following in regard to the outcome
of the case of Goodwin, e' ala vs.
Hall et ala iuvolving the title to a
portion of the Mammoth mining
property:
“Lawyer Wright tella ua that
the article we published yesterday
copied from the Republican, as to
the result of the big suit involving
a portion of the Mammoth mine at
Goldtieid, is incorrect and is, more-
Ove| mischievous. lie tells us that
Jude- Rouse held from the lm
* tv
of tlte contest that the
statutory action ‘to quiet title, i*
an equita*»le remedy; and that the
p'aintiff* in the suit insisted on this
holding. It bring an equitable ac
tion three-fourths of the jury had
the undoubted right to decide the
case. The jury was instructed to
over thirty interrogatories
that Were propounded to tin in, und
jn addition to find whether for th<•
plaintiff nr iho defendeut. As to
each of these issues the jury took
but one iNillot, ten voting for the
defendents and two for the plain
tiffs. The plaintiffs, after the ver
dict was rendered, contended that
the court should disregard the ver
dict and give them one hundred and
four feet off th * south end of the
Mammoth mine; and, under the
promise that they would show au
thorities to tlie court compelling
this alJowanc -, the mutter w* nt
over for the authorities to ba pre
sented. But the court stated that
it would be contioiled by the find
ings of the jury, unless such au
thorities were presented.
Inasmuch as the jury found that
plaintiffs had no right to any «f
the ground within the Mammoth
lines, that the plaintiffs’ location
was void, that the ground they lo
cated was not vacant nor unoccu
pied at the time they located it
and that no mineral hearing rock
jn pbiee had ever been discovered
,|» the claim, it is d fficult to dis
cover *vheie p’aintiff** are to find
the law ju*tifying a verdict for the
plaintiffs.
The cont' st was a bitter one, was
toughc inch by inch, and was be
tween jumpers on the one side and
legitimate locators and workers on
the other. The verdict is consid
ered by Pinal cou «ty miners, who
heard the case tried, as a great
victory for the mining industry,
andgives a black e,ye to all attempts
to get hold of other men’s property
after the discoverers have develop
ed rich mineral.”

One of the wealthy mining men

that no distant day. £aid he,

hardly a mining district in Arizona
that cannot bo easily reaped by

an abundance of timber for ill nee- .

This man is right, too. There
are hundreds of square miles of
rich mineral laud in Arizona that
is yet practically uiiexpinned, and
outside mining men are finding it
oat. Hundreds of miner# have
drifted into the districts through
out the territory, during , past
winter, and many of tropin, hav*
made rich strikes, both in. gold and
silver, though gold is the raetal
mostly sought at this time on ac
count of the low price of silver.—
