DISPOSING OF GRANTS.
The Court Of Private Land Claims Decides
Two Arizona Grant Gases.

The court of private land claims met
this morning, with Judge William w,
Murray presiding, and Judges Henry c,
Sluss and Wilbur F. Stone occupying
the bench with him. Judge N. B. Laugh
lin appeared before the court, and
moved for a %rehearing of the Ojo de San
Jose case, listed as case No. 1872, a de-
olson of the court at a former session
having confirmed the grant to 3,40O
acres, while the claimants want over
$4,000 acres. The grant is situated in
Rio Arriba county, and was made
March q, 1853. The claimants are Jose
Albino Baca ct al. The ease was filed
March 2, 1893. The ~rehearing may be
granted at the next term of court.
The Tres Alamo grant of ten square
leagues, on the San Pedro river, Arizo-
ma, was disposed of by a decision hand
ed down through Judge Murray this
morning. Francis E. Spencer and
George Hill Howard claimed the grant,
and the court rejected their claim on
the ground that the grant was made on
the condition that the grantee should
settle a colony of 100 families on the
land, and upon several other conditions
which had not been complied with at
the date of the treaty with Mexico. The
act establishing the court provided that
compliance with the conditions of a
grant are necessary for confirming the
grant.
In the case of the Reyes Pacheco
grant for 600 acres in the city of Tue
son, the court decided against the claim
ants, Manuela Villascusa de Marquee
ct al. The grant is alleged to have been
made in 1902 by the coInmandant of
the preside of Tucson. The opinion of
the court given by Judge Stone rejects
the grant on account of there having
been no power vested in the command
ant Of a preside to make a grant.
The Estancia grant case, which is
No. 152 on the docket, has been APP
pealed to the supreme court Of the
United States from an adverse decision
given December 20, 1892, Judge Murray
dissenting from the decision Of his col
leagues. Joel Parker Whitney ct al.
are the claimants to the grant, which is
situated in Valencia county. and con-
sists of Ais, 036.56 acres. Colonel Geo.
w. Knaebel this morning filed the pa
pers for the plaintiffs.

REVENUE RULINGS.
Some Matters for Tax Payers TO Consider
and Thus Avoid Trouble,

Judge A. L. Morrison, internal reve-
nue. collector for the territories of New
Mexico and Arizona, has recently re-
the following important rulings
and notices:
An order for the payment OF money.
drawn by one officer of a lodge or So
ciety on the treasurer thereof, does not
require to be stamped if presented for
payment directly to the treasurer by
the party in whose favor said order is
drawn, but if the order is cashed by Il
bank or otherwise negotiated and pre-
scented to the treasurer for payment by
a party other than the one in whose
favor it was originally drawn it requires
a 2-cent stamp.
The attention of taxpayers should be
called to the fact that while it is impos-
sible for them to delay making returns
and paving the tax throughout the
month in which their business is com
menced, at the same time the law re-
ouires that they should have the special
tax stamps exhibited in their places OF
business, and heavy penalties are i'm
posed for a failure to do so. Their at
%tention should be further called to the
fact that when they delay filing their
applications and paying the tax until the
last days of June or the first days of
July, they will find a crowded and con-
fused condition of things in the office OF
the collector, which may prevent them
from receiving prompt attention, and
| which may result in snbjecting them to
| veXatious delays.
In order to avoid this condition OF
things stamps will be supplied at the
| early date above indicated, and collect
ors will use every lawful means at theif
command, to urge taxpayers to make re-
| turns and pay their taxes during the
| month of June. where such action is
possible.
Such are the orders communicated by
| Commissioner G.. w. Wilson. Judge
Morrison adds to these that in view Of
| the above extract from a circular from
| the commissioner of internal revenue,
special tax payers are advised that t
failure to have the proper special ta>
stamp or stamps posted conspicuously IL
their respective places of business OF
continuing business after July |, viii
subject them to a penalty equal to thu
amount of the tax and that all sucl
de~linquencies discovered in this distric
will be reported. Judge Morrison de
slres that New Mexico and Arizon
papers make note of these orders.

AFTER COPPER.
Claims Located Within a Few Miles Of
Santa Fe.

P~rospectors have found indications of
copper ore on a ranch between four and
five miles southeast of here. Samples of
the ore are being assayed and if they
prove what the prospectors expect, work
will be commenced at once. There was
a small rush to the vicinity of the find
Tuesday and a number of claims were
staked off in the hills in the vicinity of
the ranch. j. G. Schumann of this city
has preempted "A number of claims and
is negotiating for the purchase of the
ranch. Thus far the particulars of the
find are kept quiet but Mr.. Schumann
promises to tell more about it in a few
days. The ore found is not especially
rich but indications are that it will pay
well to work it. 1t is well known that
quantities of copper ore are in the
mountains south of Santa Fe.
Ireneo Chaves has received more sam
Piles of ore from his copper claims in the
Picuris mountains. The ore is very
high grade, consisting of glance run
ming much over IS per cent copper.

A NEW SUMMER PASTURE GRASS.
New Mexico College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts.

The Agricultural college received this
spring from the department of agricul-
ture seed of the japanese Barn yard
millet. As there was a considerable
quantity it was decided to SOW the seed
in a small field which bad previously
been in alfalfa, and had been used as a
hog pasture last year. 1t was a stiff clay
loan and did not yield readily, so that
repeated borrowings with the disc, acme
and drag were necessary. The seed was
drilled in March 9th, and for the most
part a very good stand was secured. The
field was irrigated Immediately after
sowing, and again March 22d, April
22d May 18th. The plants appeared
March oath, grew rapidly and were well
stooled April 2sth. On May Goth when
the millet was about Is inches high in
the best parts of the field, six horses
were pastured upon it at night. The
horses ate the millet ravenously, though
they had been previously turned into a
good alfalfa pasture every night. They
we're kept on the millet pasture four
nights, in which time they had cropped
III all Very CloSC. 1HC lOlu was lIllSUUCu
last on May 18th, and in spite of having
been pastured closely since the grass is
pushing rapidly, and would soon be ready
for a second pasturage if it could have a
good watering. AS the ditch is dry this
can not be provided at present. Close
observations will be kept on this grass
should the drouth continue, as its value
will be much greater should it prove a
dry-weather plant. As it is, it seems to
be very palatable, and to possess the
power of quick re~cuperation, two very
important points in a pasture grass. 1t
is an annual and must therefore be sown
every year. While this is a drawback,
in the search for a pasture grass for the
irrigated farm it is well to test every
thing of promise.
