SMALL LAND HOLDINGS.
The Lawful=Time for Filing Half Gone-An Important Matter Re quirins Early Attention.
Santa Fe New Mexican.

For some months past SurveyOr-Gen- eral Hobart has been in correspondence with tine interior department relative to the small holding provisions of the act establishing the U. s. court of private land claims and the best method of ex- ecuting his duties in the premises. The law provides that claims for less than 160 acres, whetter composing grant or not, and occupied by the claimant for twenty years, shall be, after survey and filing in the surveyor-generaPs office, patented to the private ownership of the party or parties in possession.
 The law stipulates also that all such claims shall be filed with the surveyor general within two years from the pas. Sage of the land court act. This act was approved March 3, 1891. and there fore the lawful time allowed for filing such claims has now expired by half, and yet the small land holders, either through ignorance or carelesness. have practically done nothing toward per- fecting title to their property.
 In order to arouse interest on this subject and fully inform claimants in the premises, Gen. Hobart wrote to the department urging that notices be cir culated and posted in various public places, printed in English and Spanish, showing extracts from the law and ur- ging the necessity of claimants coming ln and filing their claims.
 In letter received from Washington yesterday the surveyor-general is in formed that his plan has been approved by the department and such notices will be prepared and posted at once.
 These persons who have friends re- siding on small tracts of uncertain title in this vicinity should aid in having this law complied with, by advising such friends to prompt action, otherwise the title to thelr little homes may long re- main in jeopardy and be subjected to reversal to the government because of their own negligence.

CITY FATHERS.
More Electric Light Franchises-A
 New Policeman,

Another electric light proposition ap. pears on the scene. At the meeting of the city council last night Chas. Hofi asked that franchise be granted hlm for the city. An ordinance. No. 75, was drawn up granting it.
 The 750 yards limit is yet drawing forth complaints. A J. Wakefield ap- peared and made protests. The matter was referred to the police committee.
 Another policeman was suggested to the council, to patrol the vicinity of the railroad station. The motion was passed and vetoed by the mayor, who thought the SS5 month better invest ed in street improvements. The motion to pass it over the head of the mayor did not pass, four votes being m favor of the passage, while i've are required.
 The police committee was authorized to employ a special policeman if deem d necessary.
 The petition to extend Stone avenue to the railroad and place bridge over the track, signed by 150 taxpayers, was referred to the street committee, to in- vestlgaUe and ascertain probable cost.
 ", F. Elliott, formerly clerk in the postoffice, has been appointed a police man, succeeding J.Zimmerman, resigned.
 Ire set of bonds expiring in March 1893. amounting to Sl6,000. an indebt ness incurred for city buildings, will be funded under the funding act at per cent. The recorder was ordered to for ward the statement to the secretary of of the territory.

4 ROSE.

found rose on the stones today This midwinter day, with its lowing sky And miry streets; yei the white rose lay In It's whiteness, starting to meet my eye And wherefore. O Rose, with your faint
 breath sweet
 And your fairness, lying meath careless
 feet? OTopped from the breast of bride, my fair, AS they brought her home from the holy
 shrine; The bridal music haunting the air, Deep thrilling the soul with rhythm divina Till her full heart throbbed with a new joy,
 sweet,
 And you left its warmth for the wintry
 street? Dropped from the bier of the blessed dead, Do your foldec leaves hold the dew of tears2 Is your fragrance Drayer, soft murmured By some pleading soul for the finished yearss Was the sullen chill of the crossing stone Less cold than that pulseless heart, my owns Howe'er 1t be, you white, white Rose, Will lay you down on a girlish breast That has never thrilled meath bridal snows, Nor yedrned for the peace of unbroken rest You shall finger there till your bright, brief
 day
 Of beauty and bloom breathes itself away. -S. EiSar Benet in Kate Fields Washington.

on the facts to be proven, it Is DO more necessary that the facts Le specially pleaded than that the evidence be plead ed by which any ultimate fact is to be established. The fact that we are re- quired to refer in the decree to the de- cree or statute under which the grant was made Is not maternal to the ques- ton. That provision relates merely to the substance of the decree; while the matters required to be pleaded are spe cially enumerated elsewhere in the act.
 The other grounds of the demurrer have not been much insisted on, and we do not deem it necessary to notice them.
 An order will be entered sustaining the 4Ch and Sth assignments of the demur- Ter and overrullng the other grounds.

A Wealthy Land and Irrigation Com
 pany Incorporated in Florence,
Tribune.


 During the early part of the week a rumor was whispered about town to the effect that some change had taken place in the canal company, with tine addition of more capital, and that improvement would be made to secure a larger sup ply of water.
 Vague as the rumor was it had astim- ulatIng effect. Land owners began to overhaul, as it were, their ranch proper ties, quite number absented themselves from town Monday afternoon examining their lands. and there was a search for stray 'forties", that might have been overlooked.
 The facts in thls case have even ex- ceeGed the report.
 Messrs. Pogue, Zsller, Nichols, Cum miugs, O'Leary and Judge Barnes visited the reservoir site at the Butte Friday last. The gentlemen are enthusiastic over the project of constructing an i'm mense storage dam there.
 \ company has been formed and in corporated, having a capital stock of S5,- 0O0,00G. The articles were filed in the recorders office at Florence on the Doth day of last month. The association is entitled the Arizona Land and Irugs- tion Co. The incorporators are ii. Cum mings, Of New York; Judge Barnes of Tucson, and A. l.. Pogue, of Indiana.
 The capital behind this company is sufficient to guarantee all the needed Improvements that must be constructed in order to bring this valley into due prominence as an agricultural center. This IS to be an elaboration of the Flor ence Canal company's work. In place of the present canal much larger one will be made.
 TGe great dam will be an undertaking easily within the means of the new com pany.
 Besides this 1t is the intention of the association 70 purchase and locate land for use and improvement.

Important Mining Decision.

Where the same parties view several contiguous lodes, and include themt all in one claim for patent it has been de- cded that $500 expended on the claim is sufficient, provided 1t is expended for the general benefit of all the lodes, and that it is not necessary that $500 should be expended on each lode. This is the result of supreme court decisions where 1t has been held that the word "claim" as used in the law, is not synonymous with the word "lode," and that $500 is to be expended on teach claim. This enables hundreds of mines to be patent ed, .that the owners have heretofore been unable to patent on account of the $500 provision.
