The New Mexican cattle sanitary board
has been in session here all day and has
been earnestly importuned by Collin
Cameron, representing the cattle indus
try of Arizona, to withdraw the New
Mexico quarantine against Arizona and
California established two weeks ago
because of the discovery of Texas fever

YER and Pueblo is also here to aid in
raising this quarantine, and it is alleged
that many thousands of dollars worth
OF live stock destined for Colorado and
points north are now held in Arizona on
account of this embargo. 1t is prob
able that the sanitary board will tomor-
row request Governor Thornton to ma
terially modify the present quarantine
boundary. although there is a serious
disposition to continue the embargo
against the extreme southern Salt
River valley, where it is alleged the
Texas fever is liable to prevail the year

as sufficient to show bona f1de pur-
chase

the affidavits of owners or occupants as

cember 26 1896 and January 2, 1897,

for patenting such lands within the linn
its of the grants lnurng TO the Union

been sold to bon fde purchasers. In
determining whether such lands may
have been sold to bona fide purchasers
you will follow the instructions in the
departmental letter of my predecessor,
dated January II, 1893 Nothing in this
order shall be construed as modifying
in any way departmental letters of De-
cemher 26. 1896, and January .. 1897, so
