 The land grants are in a very fair way for an earlier settlement than has heretofore been deemed possible in Arizona They may not go before the supreme court at ali. but stand of the decisions of the late court of private land claims.
 George Christ, of Nogales, while in Den yer recently, was informed there by MT. Earl Coe, present claimant of the Algodones grant, that Attorney General Olney had declared that in his opinion the grant suits could not be tried in the supreme court His ground was that the constitution pro- vides the class of cases that shall be tried before the supreme Court, and land grant cases positively are not in that classification Most important of the grants probably is that of the Algodones claim near Yuma. That decision was for the claimants, and the value of the grant should it stand is | $l2,000000. The town of Yuma is at ! standstill pending final settlement of the | case. The grant people would at once put water on the land and fill it with settlers, i at a fair price to be sure but far better for all concerned than the present enforced idleness of the land. With the settlers would come prosperity for Yuma and Yuma county y.-Tucson Citizen. Fought A Striker.
