person in charge of the cattle is not the lawful owner of the animal it is sold by the inspector and the money received is forwarded to the board at Phoenix and the brand is advertised in order that the owner may hear of it's sale.
 It is impossible to estimate the value of these inspections solely by the cattle seized and sold, because the very fact that an inspector must pass on the cattle deters any thief from offering stolen cattle, hence the large majority of cattle sold by inspectors are strays in every sense of the word.
 During the year 1898 the inspectors seized and sold 229 head of strays at total value of $3, ,480.
 NUMBER OF STOCK IN ARIZONA.
 The returns of the various counties in Arizona show a total of 379, ,240 head of cattle and 399,968 head of sheep. That these figures are far be- low the true number no reasonable

Every nook and corner was full
 Springs that would hardly water a team of horses were located and made to do duty as arrange water right" for some man who thought that all it needed was a brand, a water hole, few cows-and God would do the rest For four years this went on. Every bCdy was branding a big increase, mo- body was selling and the end was bound to come. The years of 1890-91- 92 were dry; little rain fell in the sum- mers and no snow in the winters; springs gave out, creeks and rivers ceased to run, water holes went dry and from all over the southwestern country came the cry of drought. The winter of 1S92-93 was a hard one and the spring of '93 saw thousands of cattle reeling to wate~, drinking their fill and lying down never to get up again. The spring of '93 was very cold, backward one, and whole herds were swept from the face of the coun- try. It was natures remedy. A he roic one, indeed, but nevertheless one that was bound to come sooner or later.
 T. was simply the effect of over- stocking Conservative estimates showed that to be safe fully fifty acres per head should be allowed on the open ranges. My judgment is that at the beginning of 1892 Arizona ranges. were stocked to the extent of about one animal to twenty acres. Out of this ruin emerged the cattlemea of Arizona with fully 50 per cent less cattle and an experience that will last them for ever The branding for the years 1892

were no less than twelve owners using the X brand, the F brand, the A brand, the N brand, the z brand, and the brand, besides hundreds of cases where two men had the identical brand in use in different counties.
 The dangers of this were not so ap- parent until our heavy shipments of cattle were begun and the inspectors were confronted with the difficulty of determining to whom the cattle be- lOnged when they had the same brands. Past livestock boards have found themselves sorely perplexed to determine to whom to pay the money for stray animals when half a dozen claimants appeared, each owning in some county the brand worn by the stray
 There are now upon our brand books something like 5000 brands and marks, and the protection afforded to each owner is almost absolute.N He can transfer his brand in exactly the same manner as a piece of real estate, and men buying cattle can at once find, from the records, in whose names the brands are recorded and whether there are any liens or other attachments up- on the cattle.
 The enforcement of the cattle laws is in the hands of the Livestock Sani- tary board, which is composed of three practical cattlemen who have full con- trol and charge of the hundred or more inspectors stationed at every shipping point in the territory. Every animal offered for shipment or slaugh- ter must be carefully inspected and it's brands reported to the board. If the

snow and the extreme cold. Cattle in that district are thin and should there be late cold spring it is likely there will be considerable loss among old COWS.
 In the northern end of the Tonto Basin country the cold and snow have been hard on the cattle but so far the losses have not reached much beyond the normal, while everything points to a warm and early spring.
 Taking Arizona. therefore, as whole the range conditions that pre- vail may be considered fairly good.
 LIVESTOCK LAWS.
 Perhaps no subject is of more inter est to settlers and intending investors than a knowledge that the state they propose to invest in is governed by good laws.
 Arizona has now in her statute books one of the best laws ever passed for the protection of the stockman.

Of all the metals gold is the most widely and generally distributed in all parts of Arizona. It occurs either as placer deposits or in veins in nearly every mountain range from Yuma on the west to the Chiricahuas on the east, or over the whole breadth of the territory the production last year be- ing $3, ,185, ,49O.
 Silver is almost as widely distributed as the more precious metals. Witness Tombstone with a record of $25, ,OOO, ,OOO rFoduction of the white metal, but (eslpecially at such prices as have been ruling of late) copper is king.

POPULATION OF ARIZONA :

The population has increased very rapidly within the last eight years. and although no complete census has been taken since 1S9C it is certain that the territory has HOW quite 100000 people. r~ The governor in his repd so elo- quently describes Arizona s hle and the class of immigration whi ter ritory invites that we canno hin from quoting his remarks oI ject:
 ''The class of immigration
 ritory insures high grade Of U4gE0 h- ship. The great and varied resources of Arizona invite strong, courageous characters, who come seeking invest mentS and permanent homes. Social and moral conditions here compare favorably with any portion of the Union. Our citizens are true, honest Americans, intensely loyal and patri- Ot1c. They enjoy the proud distinction Of being the first to respond to their cOuntry's call for volunteers for the war just closed. Arizona very prompt Iy rendered tc the government volun- teers that, compared with our popula- tion, in numbers far exceeded the ten ders made by any other state or terri tory. On Cuban soil, by their bravery and heroic conduct, they won the ad- Aill oIlOH oA all CHIISIeuuOu.

Of this committee

that the Secret Service had knowledge OF
Mller's hiding place and would arrest him as soon
as the Government had prepared its case and was
ready 10 bring the manager OF the syndicate 10

REPUBLICANS TO ASSUME CoNTRo1-A eau
Gus ON TUESDAY.
Washington. Dec 2.-The Republican members OF
the Senate will probably hold caucus on Tuesday
afternoon to make provision for the reorganization
OF the committees. There are many vacancies on
committees caused by the retirement OF Senators
These will be filed, and In cases In which the Re-
publicans are in the minority on committees steps
will be taken TO change the membership so as 70
give them control Having so clear majority OF
the members OF the Senate. the Republicans are
disposed to assert their privilege Of controlling com
mittee work throughout
The general interest in the committee changes
centres in the Committee on Finance. There are
two vacancies In that committee caused by the re-
tirement OF Senators Turpe OF Indiana and White
OF California and the Republicans will insist on
filing both these places. The friends OF Senator
Hanna are urging his selection for one OF the places
The probabilities are that the detailed work OF
filling the committees will be delegated to com
mittee and that no actual change will be mace for
several days. possibly weeks
