Southern Arizona Wood and Hmber.

I We have heard It stated that there i,
 more timber under ground on the Cnm
 Ntork lode than there is above ground
 m New York City. While we are in
 clined 10 believe the statement an ex
 aggeratinn, still the vast quantity of
 timber Used in mining is not matter
 nf doubt. In the consolidated Virginia
 mine alone 400OO,0OO feet have been
 used. This timber comes principall,
 from the Sierra Nevada mountains.
 but II Is not unusual to bring the very
 largest pieces needed from Puget
 ; 'und. The Sierra Nevada mountains
 supply most of ,he mines of central and Eastern Nevada and Utah with
 timber, while wo"d is brought in from
 mountains generally from If e,n to hfiy miles distant from mining town.
 The question of he timber supply i,
 therefore one of Ihe greatest impnr-
 tance in view of the rapid develop
 ment of valinuS districts to the south of Tucson. WOnd, for fuel, is abun
 dant and cheap here. At Virginia Guy 1t costs on an average fourteen dollars chord. while at the Ostrich mill and again at the new mill al Arivaca, contracts for any desired amount can be made for three and one half dollars a chord.
 The question of timber is more in- Ieresling and difficult, but we venture [" stale that there arc abundant fore, Is between Tucsnn and the $ mora line supply all demands made for the next nfly years, and with care f,r one hun dred years al least The lnia CuarinaI and Santa Rita mountains, particularly on their southeastern slopes, are com- paraiively heavily timbered, bearing oak and pine, principally, saw mill, in these mountains have been at work furI some years and have produced very good lumber The Patagonia and Huachucd mountains are in the vicini. " of the mining districts, lately open ed at Tombstone and Patag mia, and are heavily rimbered ranges. The mountain slopes are all c"ver,d with oak and pine in great abundance and of fine growth, while their numerous cdnnns are often almost impenelrable with a heavy growth of trees These two ranges alone have resources sui. ticient 10 dispel any fears that may cx- ist of lack of timber and lumber Graham mountains, back of Camp Grant, the Chiricahua and D. D.agOn also contain large quantities of timber that some day will be made ! accessible. Most of this timber, ni | course, Is at present unavailable, bu l the day k not far distant when roads . will be built into all these ranges and the hum of busy saw-mIlis will en liven tho solitude. T csc ranges oi m ,untains cover wide extent of coun try, are removed one fir m the other, SO that no one company can control pr make a "cbmer" on wood. They gre all justly mineral lands and there fore, under the provisions of the lale law which we print elsewhere, the timber can be used for mining pur poses.

The hgureS given as the result of the recent
census of the District show that since 1870 the
proportion of colOred population to white has
slightly increased-enough, at least, to dig.
prove, so far as it applies to the District, the
claim that the cOlored race is dying out
through some inherent defect, in the presence
OF higher civilization and not enough to
cause the District to be viewed as a cOIored
mans paradise, or to make showing of espe.
cial Importance in the total increase of the
city population. In 1900 the cOlored popula
lion OF the District was something less than
one-third OF the entire number of inhabitants
and the proportion remained about the same
until the census OF 1850, when it appeared that
the white population was increasing faster.
the proportion of cOlOred to white being nearer
one to four. In 1850 though the cOIored popu.
iation had made an absolute increase in num-
Oers, Its relation to the total population was
only one to five. 1t thus appears that while
from 1900 to 1850 both the white and colored
populations annually increased, the growth of
Inc White element was greater in the last ten
or n1teen years of the period. Between 1860
and $40 the cOlOred population was largely in
crease by additions from outside the District
and was brought nearly up to it's old proper.

the relative numbers of the two races be-
tween the District to day and in the first forty
years of its existence.
