 If you can accept the facts I have stated to you as facts you twill not wonder that I am not surprised at the richness of the recent strike at the Crowned King; in fact, I have ire quently predicted that if Arizona mines got the development we used to give to mines in Nevada and in the Sierras, ores far beyond any hitherto discovered would be found There is no mine in the territory over 800 feet in depth that is not a dividend payer today and in California we did not consider a mine less than 500 feet in depth anything but prospect"

S M McGowan: The Indian appro- 1riation bill as recently passed by the ho11se contains larger appropriation fnr the Phoenix Indian school than Tor any other Indian school in the Onlted States. Besides the amount TOT cur rent expenses we secured an appIo- ,uriation for $3O, ,00C for two more new buildings While it was good stroke to secure this much it Was not what it had been hoped 10 secure. am anxious to see the~ Phoenix indian school become the greatest school of the kind in the United States. An eff fort was made before congress met in December to get people here to take up the matter and write to members of congress pointing out the import ance of our school and asking that the appTopriation of former years be largely increased, but to my surprise when I reached Washington 1 found that not a letter had been sent to any member of the committee nor to our delegate MT Smith, and it was only the general friendliness of the com mittee to our work that enabled the school to secure what it did. Next year, if the citizens will take hold of the subject, the appropriation can be largely increased, and it is certainly worth trying TOT, as every Ceht oI tle money voted is spent right here at home.

 J. G. Hopkins of Clifton: New leads are being opened up constantly by the big copper companies about Clifton and MOrenci. No new mines have been opened recently so far as I know except those adjoining these two companies They are doing well and giving employment to 8 great many men. The Arizona Copper com pany, generally known as the Clifton company, has from TOO to 500 men on it's pay roll all the time, while the Detroit company at Morenci has only about one hundred less on its roll. With so many men at work both little towns present 8 thrifty ard prosper GUS appearance.

JESSE JAMES WAS HERE
When He Was Being fIunfcd for inc
 Wabash Robbery.

MT. D. F. Greenwood of this city, as has been related before, when boy was one of Qnantrell's men and fOi- lowed that dashing leader i'll all of his movements through Missouri, Arkansas and eastern Kansas. During that exciting service he formed a close friendship with Frank and Jesse James, which continued through the lifetime of the latter and is still main tained with the former. Last fall he had a letter t"om Frank James in which the latter said that he would possibly come to the Salt River valley to spend the winter
 While MT. Greenwood does not deny that the James brothers committed many eXcesses after the close of the war, he contends that they would have preferred peaceful pursuits, but were driven into outlawry by the persecu- tion of enemies. Speaking of this matter yesterday he said that very large majority of the crimes committed in their names were committed by others who m ight have been followed and captured but for the false con- clusiOn instantly arrived 2t by the authorities that the James boys were the perpetrators.
 In most instances Mr. Green wood had positive kECwledge that the James boys were innocent. He was at that time connected with the sheriffs office at Kansas City Jesse James was then living there un- der the name of Samuel Howard, and

THE FOREST RESERVES
Superintendent Benedict Gathering
 Data in Phoenix.

NIT. John D. Benedict of Santa Fe. superintendent of forest reserves in New Mexico and Arizona, arrived in the city yesterday morning accompa- nied by F. s. Breen, supervisor of the San Francisco reserve in the north ern part of the territory. Their ob- ject in coming here is to gather ma terial for a report to the interior de- partment which will determine whether or not the order creating the reserves will be modified to the ex- tent of admitting sheep as horses and cattle are now admitted.
 It was the theory of the department when the reservations were created that the undergrOwth of the forests were nearly as essential to the con servation of the snow fall as the lOftier trees. Hence the sheep which were destructive of the undergrowth were excluded. Ever sinee the order was made the sheepmen of the north ern part of the territory have been trying to have that part of the or der set aside. They have sent an agent to Washington who represented that the continuance of the order would ruin the sheep industry in the north. It was also represented that the fear of damage to the undergrowth, which caused the department to eX- clude the sheep was groundless and that the difference in the volume of snow fall conserved by the forests with undergrowth and the forests without would be slight in comparison with the hardship a maintenance of the order would lay upon the sheep men. The sentiment is largely against the order in the northern Eart of the territory where sheep interests are the heaviest, though it is supported by the cattiemen.

 miles up the ravine. The ice is in come plaCe8 as much az q fO0t In1C r

 on the down grade. It became neCe5- 1 sary for Us to arm the horses aSainat
 the sHppeTyness Of the incline and We accordingly shod the horses with 1 spiked shoes in the best manner a quickly improvised forge would per init. In this manner we reached our destination at the end of five days, covering a distance of only 110 miles. we were in Crown King only a short time when it was rumOred that the mining company of that place had
 made a rich strike. The managers Of
 the mine were quiet on the subject and apparently the employees had been in
 structed to keep equally as reticent
 with their limited knowledge of the
 conditions, for no enc knew how long
 since the strike had been made. The
 company for number of years had
 been working on all levels down to 300
 feet and spent most of it's time drift
 ing on the levels. On the EGO foot
 level it is supposed one of the miners
 accidentally struck the rich vein
 mentioned. It is seven inch ven and is estimated to carry $1G4 .090 per ton iii gold.
 'The knowledge of the strike event ally leaked out and it has been di scov- cred that the company is storing their ore in vaults and not shipping as usual to Colorado for concentrating purposes. The ore is so rich that It would not pay the company to mill 1t and it may sell the quartz directly to the mint The vein carries free gold and some persons are of the opinion that it will be amalgated in the mine before shipping. All the persons in terested in the property are So guarded in disclosing particulars Of the strike, it is not generally known, and if It were the three feet of snow would pre- vent prospectOrs from venturing in the locality.
 There are numerous small claims this section, gold being well distributed in the range and spring will undoubtedly bring with it a large immigration of prOspectors | There is one drawback to the mining and that is the scarcity of wate-. | What supply they have is pumped from | the lower level of the mine into tank at the surface and pip5d down to the battery.

'Tas adopted requesting the legislature to memorialiZe the president request ing the admission of sheep to the res ervations. The only county interested in any way in the conservation of the snow fall was Maricopa. The resolu- tion was strongly supported by the supervisors from the northern counties and was opposed by the representatives from no other section. The legislature has adopted a memorial as was re- quested. But whatever, if anything, Is done in the matter, will be done upon Mir. Benedict's report. He said last night that he had no infor- nation yet on which to base report. He has come to this valley as the sec tion most likely to be affected. and will spend a week gathering the views of competent, persons and figures regarding the water supply MT.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Mrs. Catt Tells What Has
 Been Accomplished.
Equal Suffrage Has Now Been Granted 10 WOmaE in Four States and Limifed Suffrage Extended to Them in TWenfy-Eighf.

Mrs. Carrie c. Catt, of New York the noted woman suffrage evangelist who is to appear before a joint meet ing of the legislature this afternoon in advocacy of the granting of suffrage to the women of Arizona was seen yes terday by The Republican and asked to describe something of the grOwch of the movement for equal suffrage.
 ''It may surprise many people, but it is the fact never the less,,' said Mrs. Catt, that the state of Kentucky was the first to ever grant any suffrage rights to women. This was away back in the fifties when school suffrage was granted to women tax payers of the state of Kentucky Other states fol- lowed in granting certain limited forms of suffrage to women during the latter sixties and in 1869 the territory of Wyoming granted equal suffrage to women and they have had that right in that commonwealth ever since, it being expressly conferred upon them by the constitution when Wyoming b9- came a state.
 'Jn 1891 Kansas granted women equal suffrage with men in all school and municipal elections and the plan has worked well. Colorado gave full suffrage to women in 1893 the first election in which women participated in the state being that of November 1894.
 Utah granted suffrage to women when a territory but the privilege was annuled by congress on account of the Mormon question. When Utah was admitted as a state in 1895 the consti-

THREE LAND GRANTS.
They Will Likely Be Confirmed as to
 Their Original Boundaries.

The Canoa case is now being retired. in the land court at Tucson. Speaking Of it and other cases yet to be heard the Frontier says: This grant belongs to Messrs. Maiseh, and Driscoll and. lies abCut twenty miles south of Tucson on the Santa Cruz river. The grant was confirmed to it's boundaries by the court of private land claims upon former trial, but the supreme court of the United States refused to confirm the grant for any greater quantity of land than the amount called for in the title papers, which is somewhat less than that within the boundaries We understand that the only question which will now be tried will be that of ascertaining the definite location of the quantity of land confirmed by the supreme court. Hon. Rochester Ford represents the claimants upon this trial as he did upon the former one, and before the supreme court.
 The Babacomari grant is said to be ill the same condition, as it has once been tried, and the title declared valid by the supreme court to the extent of eight square leagues, which will take in nearly if not all of the valley lands. The court of private land claims had declared this grant void, and many set tiers went upon the valley lands and built homes there after the decision and pending an appeal to the supreme court. Their permanent improvements Twill now become the property of the owner of the grant. This demonstra- -es the necessity and desirability or a speedy settlement of the title to all the grants in Arizona
 The San Rafael de Ia Zanja grant case is set for trial next week It is the grant which is occupied and claim ed by 1dr. Colin Cameron, and it lies in the extreme southeast corner of this county upon the border line of Mexico The decision of the supreme court of the United States in the Canoa and Sonofta cases is said to make it req sonably certain that this grant will be confirmed but only for the quantity called for in the title papers which we understand is only four square leagues.

PIMA COUNTY BONDS.
FTaAcis J. Heney Advises the County
 to Continue the Fight.

Francis J. Heney, Esq, of San Fran cisco is in the city on business before the court of private land claims, says the Arizona Frontier, and knowing that he became familiar with our fund ing laws and with the status of the narrow gauge railroad bonds during his term of office as attorney general Of the territory in 1893 and 1894, we requested him to examine the recent decision Of the supreme court of the United States relating to those bonds and to give us his opinion as to the possibility of defeating the pending at tempt to refund them
 MT. Heney kindly consented to do so, and he now states that after fully discussing all phases of the pending mandamus case With Messrs. .. w. Wright and Rochester Ford who rep resent the county therein, he is con vinced that the county has an excellent chance to win the suit upon it's merits, aside from any technical points. He warmly comments and approves the proposed plan of defense which has been outlined to him in detail by the two lawyers just named, but does not think it would be wise policy to give the plan publicity at this time.
 MT. Heney is so well known to every heavy taxpayer or 1hlS county as sound and conscientious lawyer that we feel confident his opinion upon this matter will measUrably reassure them in regard to the supposed danger of high taxation in the future upon this account. It likewise demonstrates the correctness of our position in urg- ing the county to fight the case vigor- CUsly to the last ditch.
