VIM. Deering, who went out with the
newly appointed custodian of the Pres
colt forest reserve, says that a large
portion of it lies over the summit on
the Copper Basin side of the divide,
and that only about one-half of it con-
tains any forest. The balance, he says,
Is barren, rocky aud broken up.-Jour-

Col. w. G. Land is over from the
San Pedro valley to arrange with AL
fred S. Donau for the delivery OF q
large bunch of cattle 1T Tucson where
the colonel intends to make up train
load for early shipment Col. Land
says the prospect for shipments this
fall is good and prices will be main
tanned. San Pedro valley cattle never
were in better condition, said the visi-
tor, and but for the war the past sea-
son would have been the best ever
known in the southern section of the
territory.-Tucson Star.
The cattle returned in the five coun-
ties, ella, Graham, Cochise, Pima and
Pinal, aggregate 254, 700 head, or over
81 per cent of the total number. That
is, practically two thirds Of all the cat
tie in the territory are found in the
five counties named. Graham ranks
first in number of cattle, with Cochise
q close second. Some well Informed
stockmen believe that. if the truth
we're known, Cochise would take first
place. Yavspai has the largest num-
Der OF horses, and Coconino sheep

. The law providing for the lease OF
school lands appear to be inspplicable
in most parts of the territory for the
reason that the cost of furnishing an
abstract of the land to be leased would
in most cases exceed the revenues to
be received from leasing them. In
Pima county it was found that an alb
stract OF the school lands would cost
the county $1,000 and the board of
supervisors sensibly decided that ap-
plicauts for school lands should do
their own surveying, and report the
status OF the lands they wish to occupy.
