from the western division of the bu- reau of animal industry, stating that the quarantine placed on Mexican cattle from the Arizpe district had been lifted and to allow cattle to pass through the Naco port the same as usual. The quarantine has been in force for about thirty days and stopped the shipment of several thous- and head of cattle which had already been contracted for. The Coleman cattle, which had been held near the line since the quarantine went into effect, will be brought over in few days, and other shipments will follow as fast as the cattle can be gathered for shipment.

 Stockman: The cattemen of Ora. ham and Gila counties are worked up over the plan Of Indian Agent Nichol- son of the San Carlos reservation. to charge what is considered an exhor- bitant charge for grazing privileges on the reservation. From Gila county alone there are no less than 1000 head of stock on the reservation, mostly horses. The opinion seems to be that if the government wants all livestock excluded, the better plan would be to fence the reservation. rather than seize to stock and hold it for ranson.
 Stockman: A Washington dispatch of Monday says that the secretary Of the Interior has issued an order that hereafter all sheep grazing on forest reserves will be charged for at the rate of cents head. This order will be put in force at once in the Black Mesa reserve in Arizona, and the number of sheep allowed to graze there will be cut down to 300,00 The same order will be enforced at other reserves where applications for sheep grazing are received. The money collected will be used in man. tainiDg forest ranges and guarding.
 Graham Bulletin: Mart Taylor, the Stein's Pass cattleman, who has been in Solomonville for the past ten days, was not here seeking health but for business. He sold two brands of cat tie on the Stein's Pass range to Geo. A. OlneY, and he aud his partner, MT. Turner, purchased the butcher shop in Solomonyille from McClintock & Dowdle. MT. Turner took possession of the shop Monday morning and moved to it his stock of groce- ries and provisions. Mir. Turner knows all about handling meat and is most accommodating gentle man.
 Lordsburg Liberal, The cattlemen of northern Grant county met at Sill yer City last week and formed an as- sociatiOn for the purpose, as expressed in their resolutions, of resisting the removal of fences already erected on public lands, and of working in har- mony against the illegal branding and stealing of cattle, and to prosecute the persons committing such depreda- tions. The members of the association have one vote for every thousand head of cattle they own, as shown by their assessment returns, and are to be as- sessed in proportion to the number of cattle they own. The association is to have regular meeting on the first Monday of each month at Silver City.
 The Republican of last Friday says: Governor Murphy late yesterday after noon appointed Wm. Kay member Of the livestock board to succeed A C. Mcqueen, who resigned the day be- fore. Mir. Kay is prosperous cattle man residing near Glendale, where he has one of the finest ranches in the country. His cattle interests are ex- tensiye and he is, beside, a level headed business man and man of tt e strictest integrity. He has lived in this county for thirteen years, having come from near Quincy, III. He is said to be thoroughly familiar with tho cfoaG cffuafion in fha tarriforv

The first law of congress fixing rates
of postage went into effect on June I,
1892, with rates as follows:
Not exceeding 80 miles, cents.
Over 80 and not exceeding 60 miles.
8 cents.
Over 60 and not exceeding 100 miles,
10 cents.
Over 100 and not exceeding $50

Over $50 and not exceeding 200

Over $50 miles, 25 cents.
1t would seem that postmasters Of
that day must have been greatly per-
picked in adjusting the rates on each
letter under such diversified schedule
as the above The weight limit was
one ounce (single), but single letter
was single sheet, two sheets double,
three sheets triple. four sheets quad
