Early in the morning of the llth of July Drew aud two other deputies struck the trail Of a man on the rim of the Mogollon noun tains and followed it for four days, surprising the man in camp on the morning of the 18th, on Coon creek, about thirty miles from Globe.

A Welcome Rain stornn. .

The long delayed and much de-
 sired rain storm pu. in an appear.
 ance this afternoon in Prescott. |,
 was such a rain as has not occurred
 for years. It started in between I2
 aud ] o'clock, coming down gently
 at first, but about I:40 o'clock in-
 cressiDg 10 a heavy down pour that continued for about forty minutes.
 The plaza was a veritable lake, while Granite creek was a raging river
 It had one good effect, that of clean ing the streets and alleys of the town, which were badly in reed of such scavenger work. I he rain was
 -ccumpamed by consij' rable thun des aad lightning, and it seemed to extend on all sides of Prescott and particularly so to the south, west and northwest. The water in Granite creek rose to nearly the high water mark of 1891. It overfowed it's banks just above the Herman Stock residence and quite 8 stream flowed down Granite stIeet The water on Gurley street backed up across Granite street. The north end of the block on the west side of Granite street street, between Gurley and Willis was all flooded, while the houses on the west side of the street north of Willis were all surrounded by water. The stream also over flowed it's banks at Willis street, a large volume of water pouring down street from there north and good sized stream flowing down the alley, the water backing up to nearly Montezuma street. The high water attracted hundreds of people to the creek. At the time of going to press no special damage was reported.

COPPER MOUNTAIN.
stoddard Makes Big Strike in the
 Above Property,

FNhNNN "
 Parties reaching the city from Mayer within the last two days brought information to the IoyRSAL- MINER af an important strike made by the Stoddard Copper Company, which is verified by l. T. Stoddard. the principal owner in the property who IS now in Prescott. It seems that the matter has been kept quiet until development work has shown tha: the ore body encountered has come tO stay, and of thls there can be no doubt.
 Years ago a shaft was sunk one hundred feet m saddle of Copper Mountain and al a point nortbsast of and lower than the main work ings, aud leuse of the ore cut by the north half of the shalt extended from a point 42 feet below lbe sur. face 10 the l0O-foot level. where the ore pitched to ths nvrtt aud away from the shaft. at which point the ore was fourteen feet wide It IS a massive black sulpbide ot iron and in 1885 several lots, of tons each, were shipped to New York and Bos- ton and tested. Mir. Stoddard seek ing to find some process by which the gold in the ore could be profit ably saved, uo value being attached to it's copper contents, which were less than five per cent, while the metal itself was at that tune worth ,ptu a h..s,s .f.-ks s..rta ,,,- ,,.,,,l These working tests Of average sam pie lots returned from so Co S26.50 gold per ton and several ounces of silver. About a week before his death the late F. \. Riotte, then manager of the New York Metal lurgical Works reported that he had At last succeeded in finding a process for the profitable working of the orc. By direction of Mr. Stod- dard, who was then living in New York, the shaft was continued to a depth of l50 feet, being 550 feet lower than the apex of Copper mountain, and drifts were run in three directions Co catch tLe ore body, but without sUccess, NEen the conclusion was reached by the party in charge oi the work for the owner that the ore did not go down.
 Recently the old shaft was cleaned out and newly tlmbered, and thor ough prospecting of the ground at a lower level iuaugurated A mass of lime known to be moro than 40 feet wide, was encountered and in this and at a point 4l feet from the shaft, MT.

RloArs ON FOREST RESERVES.

RIGHTS ON FOREST RESERVES.
 The rights and privileges accorded to settlers within the limits of forest reserve are % little known that the following very important provisions are quoted for tho in- formation of All concerned. h re- gard to the location and entry of mineral lands the law provides that @any mineral lands in any forest re servation which have been or which may be shown to be such, and sub jeet to entry under the existing nun ing laws oI the United States and tbe rules and regulations applying there- to, shall continue to be subject 10 such location and entry, nOtwith standing the reservation. This makes mineral lands ia the forest reserves subject to location and entry under the general mining laws in the usual manner.
 Owners of valid mining locations made and held in good faith under the mining laws of the Uaited States and the regulations thereunder, are authorized and permitted to fell and remove from such mining claims any timber growing thereon, for actual mining purposes in connection with the particular claim from which ,be timber is felled or removed.
 The law also provides for the free use of timber and stone. but this provision is limited Co persons resi- dent in forest reservations who have not a sufficient supply of timber or stone on their own claims or lands l for tie purposes enumerated, or for necessary use in developing the min ] eral or other natural resources of the ! lands owned or occupied tv them. l Such persons, therefore, arc per mitted tO take timber and stone | from public lands in the, forest re- serys,ions under the terms of the l law above quoted, strictly for then individual use on their own claims or lands owned or occupied by them, l but not for sale or disposal, or use on other lands, or by other persous: 1 Provided, That where the stumpage 1 value exceeds one hundred dollars, must be made Co and 1 permission given by the department. 1

IRE FORESTRY QUESTION.

tfte FUMES KY QOeS tON.
 The question of the preservation oT cur forests is just now a very live one in Arizona. An American for estTy convention met in Los Angeles July l9, and the San Diego Union uses the event as a sort of text Tor an article on the question of pre- serving the forests of California which applies with equal force to Anzona. iu which it says:
 "The very prevalent sentiment heretofore has been that the forest IS common property, and its values go to the first comer, who can take the wood or kill the fish and game. For years the lumbermen operated on this theory. and cut over immense areas Of the public lands without ac- quiring title to the soil. The law psrmits settlers 10 take from public lands timber for buildings, fences, fumes, etc, for use in improving their own land. Miners have similar privileges under permits from the interior department. These priv iieges, however, have been greatly abused, and of late people have real ized that communal rights in for ests. or the rights of individuals to use the timber for personal benefit are fatal to forests, and the general interests in regard Co watersheds. re- sWal of the forest growth. etc, are not protected under the old plan oi permitting everybody to do as be pleased on the pubic woodlands I be sentiment is growing that for ests should be put to the use of bringing the highest good to tie whole community, and in Southern California this higtest good IS tie preservation of the watersheds.
 "A valuable lesson might be learned from Europe. There the government exercises very strict supervision over forests, preventing their spoliation aud providing for their renovation. But even there these steps were not taken until peo- pie had learned by costly experience that such measures were absolutely necessary. In EurC pc pasturage on the forest lands held in common had been extremely injurious, and has often resulted in the Annihilation of the forests. This was followed by an extinction of the monntlin pas- lures and the destruction of the val ley lands by the failure of the water supply and the damage done by tor rents. In most European countries today, however, every acre of timber land is protected by the strictest regulations.
 'Ip the United States vcry httla attention was paid to the destruc- ton of forests until tle farmers be gan to realize that tbeir water sup ply was being diminished. ln the west. and especially on the Pacific coast, the fact Is now coming t0 bc understood tlat successful agucul- ture is Co a great extent dependent upon the preservation of the trees that cover the mountains. With this knowledge there IS growing sentiment that the tune has come when the destruction of the forests by lumbermen, careless campers, un- serupulous sheepmen or others, must be rigidly prohibited by law. It IS realized. too. that the measures al ready taken in this behalf ara 'ery The remedy is first to arouse public sentiment II the forestry convention Uhich is about to assemble in Los Augeless shall to that end, it's sessions will be a distinct gain"

A telegram from New York an nounceS the death at Dobbs Ferry of Robert c. Jngersoll.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-03-31
THE REASON WHY.

Some time ago The Star reviewed
Professor Bryce's letter upon the gov
eminent for the Hawaiian Islands.
The professor on reading the COM
ments has written to the editor stat
ing that he does not know how the
number $4,000 for the native Hawaii
ans can have got into that letter."
and adding: My own belief was that
the number of Hawaiians was between
10000 and 100000" However the figures
were so printed both in the San Fran
ciso Chronicle and the Chicago Record
Moreover the figures of other nation
alities were also in error. Probably
the professors secretary served him
badly.
But the question of figures, though
an important one, is not what surpris-
es Professor Bryce. 1t is the use of
English by the Portuguese which
strikes him. He says II am surpris-
ed at your statements regarding the
use, by the Portuguese, of English.
They must have greatly changed with
in the last few years if they use the
English language as much as you say"
Before entering upon argument it is
necessary to recall what was said. In
his published letter Professor Bryce
said, speaking of Hawaiian, Portu-
guese, japanese and Chinese, mo group
can speak the language of the other,
and it will take a long time before
they learn to use English as the COM
mon medium of communication" In
commenting upon this The Star said,

When the China passed through On
her up trip attention was called in
these columns to the quasi-quarantine
kept on board her. When the vessel
arrived in San Francisco she was at
once put in quarantine because she
had two cases of varioloid among her
crew. DR.. Won der Leith stated to the
reporters that the leases had devel-
oped before they reached Honolulu"
The cabin passengers who could not
show recent marks were all ordered
vaccinated, and the orders were strict
ly carried out. Before the China could
dock she was thoroughly disinfected.
They seem to have been somewhat
more stringent in San Francisco than
they were here.

Among the undiscovered crimes that
of Joe, the Malay, will probably have
to be listed 1t is now over six weeks
since the man was found dead on his
doorstep and the jury returned YER
dict that the deceased came to his
death from an injury on his head
the result of a blow probably received
from the hands of a person to this
jury unknown" A large number of
people have forgotten the crime, but
it is still in the minds of those con-
nected with the police. No clue has as
yet been discovered.

Transactions in sugar property are
becoming very large. The highest deal
has been the $1,OOO,OOO, which has been
paid for the entire Multi plantation.
Annexation has stood the owner of that
property in very good stead, for with
out annexation it would never have
fetched the price it has done, nor would
people have been willing to invest. 1t
is the political stability of the country
which has made the present rise in
prices. Foreign funds, which are now
pouring in, would have been impossi-
BILE to obtain under either monarchy or
Independent republic.
