Col. Jones Wants Light.

Congressman Jones, according to a
late dispatch, has not yet made up his
mind as to what is the best thing to be
done with regard to the proposed leasing
OF public lands to stockmen. He has
sent letter to the principal editors 10

ter. He wants to know If the interests
OF the small owners of stock would be
better protected by the system Of leasing
than under the present plan. He says It
must be considered that under the Foster

large bands Of cattle and sheep will very
likely lease large tracts Of land and in
close them. The price per acre as deter

LOWER MAMMOTH.
A remarkably generous ore body on

a horde of buyers after shares of the
company during the past three weeks,
and as a result the stock scared rapid

Another sensational and erratic per
