Arizona republican., 1898-02-24

| erty shortly to be opened by c. M Shannon and Jesse Grant was declin- ed, though it is presumed MT. Shan | non was then willing, but there were others" to the transaction who were not. I understand from Leyzensky that his compromise offer on some properties controlled by B. M Craw- ford of Clifton had gone through, but the figures were not given by Mr. LeyZensky. I endeavored to insert my auger, on being introduced, but MT. Leyzensky emphatically waved me off. The other information was vouch- safed in a general conversation while was party to the hearing. He did say directly that he had silenced the Kellys of Solomonvil1e and others and begged me not to tell anything that he did not say at our first meeting, and of course I cannot. In due course he will tell all, and as he has been down this way some weeks it is likely there will be plenty to first go through those "very reliable" journals outside of Arizona. Should the Arizona jour nals get hold of any information there will be those who will look upon the same as boom stuff. The Republican is not in the field to boom any mining proposition, but to give all the min ing news possible daily and from any section of the territory. MT. Leyzen- sky and has cousin have Tucson prop efty interests.
 Two very enthusiastic cattlemen in the persons of Alfred s. Donau and Walter Vail of this county, have cross ed my path in the past twenty-four hours. They are very much in favor of territorial association to be form ed out of local associations. The lat est coming under this head is the Southern Arizona Cattle Raisers' asso- oiRtion. The probabilities are that this association will be able to enroll from 200 to 300 members west of the San Pedro, south as far as Nogales. west to the Yuma county line, and to include Final county. It does not pro- pose to infringe upon the prerogatives of Cochise county's association or the Maricopa county association, but will work in harmony with all associations. Pima county claims an equal position with Cochise as regards the cattle in dustry. In this county shipping per mlts are even more numerous than in any other county, viz, Nogales, Gala basas, Crittenden, Pantano, Tucson and Reddington. The association in cludes these points: Arizola, Casa Grande and Blue Rock on it's list of points of shipping by rail- Secretary Scholefeld has handed me the minutes which are herewith submitted, this closing current letter. Mining news and other topics will be taken up later. Following is the report of the meet ing of the Southern Arizona Cattle Raisers' association:
 At large meeting of the prominent stock raisers of southern Arizona, held at the office of Judge C. w. Wright yesterday, it was unanimously agreed to form an association for the better protection of the range cattle industry
 After some discussion it was found to be the sense of the meeting that an association be formed, whereupon the meeting was organized by the elec- tion of c. w. Wright as president and George P. Scholeefild as secretary.
 President Wright then addressed the meeting on the benefits and necessity for an organization of the cattle In- terests of this section.
 It was then ordered that the officers of the association shall consist of a president, first and second vice presi- dents, treasurer, and executive board.
 By unanimous vote c. w. Wright was elected the permanent president and George P. Scholefield the perma- nent secretary; E. l.. Vail, first vice president; M. G. Samaniego, second vice president; Albert Steinfeld. treas urer; George Pusch, James Finley, Al fred $. Donau, R. R. Richardson Zach Vail, Filiberto Aguirre, Tom Wills, Royal A. Johnson, Richard Brady, Colin Cameron and Manuel | Amedo, IT,, executive board.
 It was ordered that the president | and secretary should be ex-officio 1 members of the executive board, and that the executive committee hold a meeting on March to formulate a | constitution and bylaws, and perfect the organization, the meeting to be held at the office of C. w. Wright in i Tucson, and that the secretary shall notify each member of the board of his election and urge his attendance. PITTOCK.
