Government Clerks and the HOLIDAYS.
THE QUESTION OF HALF HOLIDAYS CHRISTMAS WEEK
UNDER CONSIDERATION.

The question of closing the executive depart
ments at noon during Christmas week has not
been settled. The departments would certainly
have remained open usual next week IL Con-
gress had decided to remain in session instead of
taking the usual holiday recess. But as Congress
has decided to adjourn over, the chances are that
the departments will close according to the Gus
tom that has obtained for several years past 1t
is stated however, that the Secretary OF the Treas
ury has virtually decided that there shall be no
change In the business hours In that department.
and that it shall be open next week as usual
While this statement lacks confirmation there is
evidently some foundation for 1t. Secretary Fol-
ger when approached on the subject this after.
noon stated that he had been considering the sub
ject, but as yet had reached no conclusion. An
other QuesttOner on the same subject was referred
to the law OF 1896 regulating the hours for bust
ness, which law has already been published In
The STAR 1t is generally conceded On all sides
that the heads OF departments have discretion in
this regard and can make their own rules It is
believed the question will be considered ut the
Cabinet meeting tomorrow.

Timher on Public Lands.

United States Attorney Zabnskie, of Tucson, has received late ruling of the interior department in regard to the cut ting of mesquit timber from public lands. It will be observed the ruling differs in many respects from those previously an nounccd. Following is a synopsis of the new order promulgated by Secretary Tel Ter:
 "The cutting and removing of mesQuit is restricted and confined to actual settlers and bona fide residents of the state or terri tory, who are citizens of the United States. The cutting and removing of mesquit from the public lands of the United States Said lands being mineral) is permitted for all building, agricultural, mining and dO- mestic purposes needed in the development and improvement of the homes or mining interests of such actual settlers, residents or miners. It is further permitted that mesquit may be cut and removed from the public mineral lands for the purpose of selling the same to any actual settler or resident of the state or territory, but only for the use and purposes hereinbefore pre- scribed. The cutting and removing of any mcsquit from of the public mineral lands of the United States for export from the state CT territory, or by, or for sale to any railroad company as an article of fuel or repair is strictly prohibited. The per son or persons so offending being liable 10 civil and criminal prosecution as provided by section 3 of the act approved June 3, 1878, entitled "An Act authorizing the citizens of Colorado, Nevada and the ter. ritOr;cs to fell and remove timber on the public domain for mining and domestic purposes" The cutting and removing of mesquit from any of the public lands of the United States non-mineral in charac- ter), is strictly prohibited for any purposes except the same is to be used in building, fencing, or otherwise improving and culti- vatng the land or claim from which the same is cut or removed Any person cut, ting and removing mesquit from non mineral public lands of the United States except for the purposes and uses above stated is liable to punishment therefor un- der section 2461, R s., both civilly and criminally.'

Two Promising Districts.

The following is embodied m the report made of Arizona ores at the Denver expo sItion: "Cochlse district, situated on the northern spur of the Dragoon mountains, is represented by specimens from twenty five properties The ore is found as deposits in limestone. The Peabody sends several characteristic ores, averaging twenty-five per cent copper per ton. The minerals are green carbonate of copper, gray cop per and oxide, which usually are found in a soft, disintegrated state. In addition 10 the ore is pig of black copper weighing four hundred and sixty pounds, and assay ing $50 gold, $27 silver and ninety-siX and one half per cent copper. It IS one of lot of forty-one tons smelted from ore which averaged twenty-two per cent copper The mine at depth of one hun dred feet shows ore one hundred feet wide. The San Antonio, an adjoining property, exhibits similar minerals, running from five to eight ounces of silver and from twelve to eighteen per cent copper. The Saratoga and Dreadnaught show red OK idle and carbonate of copper of excellent quality. The Wedge displays some fine gray ore, which isprobably copper glance.
 The Total Wreck, Empire district, Pima county, makes an excellent showing. The ore IS deposit in limestone, and in some nOrtiOnc is in contact with ouaItZitp Ii is mainly a free milling chloride ore, with some brown siliceous "carbonates and averages $70 in silver per ton. There is also high grade streak in the mine run ming from $500 to $1,200 per ton. The ore exhibited from it is dark, compact material stained with carbonate of copper. The Eagle, 49 and Justice, adjoining properties, send ore of somewhat similar appearance, that from the Justice being a higher grade"

A Nice Point of Law.

In the case of the United States vs. Ora geda, for selling liquors to Indians, on demurrer to the indictment argued before the District Court at Tucson on October IS, a most momentous question suddenly pre- sented itself, 10 wit: Has the United States Congress power to prohibit the sale of liquor to the Indians? Messrs Fitch, Anderson and Ainsa, in arguing the de- murrer clalmed that, the Arizona Pima, PapagO and other tribes, under the MeXi- can constitution and laws from the tune of the Independence, were full Mexican citizens; and by the treaties of 1SiS and 1851, all those Indians became American citizens and hence their rights as such could not be restricted by special legisla- tion, nor could they be reduced to re- servalions and given in charge of special agents, nor prevented from buying or sell ing any and all things, the same as other citizens. The argument was ably SUD- ported by quotations from the 1ith Howard in the case of the United States vs. Ritchie, page 53l.
 The United States District Attorney asked for time 10 reply which was granted. The question may change the whole Indian policy in Arizona.
