Revolutionary Record.

Ricardo Edsall Miner, histo-
rian of the Arizona Society Sons
of the American Revolution, has
received a circular letter from
Gen. Theodore S. Peck, histo-
rian general of the national So
ciety, asking for detailed infor
nation regarding points and OBJ
jects of interest in our territory
-battlefelds, cannon, battle
flags, etc, what revolutionary
records are on file in our state
or public libraries, and whether
there are in the territory the
graves of patriots of the Amer
lean revolution.
It will be of interest to all
our northern and western neigh
bOrs in the sisterhood of states,
which Arizona is soon to enter,
to learn that we have in our ter
ritory a city not only far ante
dating the American revolution,
but also the oldest city in the
United States.
George Hilzinger, in his "Trea-
sure Land" presents the facts
ia slightly verse and prose:
"Ancient in years, but her long life
we'll spent,
She smiles serenely at the face of time" d"
Mr.. Hilzinger gives the date
of settlement Of Tucson as 1855,
some half a century earlier than
the founding of Santa F'e or San
Augustine. He bases his claim
upon authentic documents, in
cludlng parchment, discovered
among the records of the old
mission Of San Xavier, dated
1852, when the settlement was
ordered to be established, and
attached to which is an account
of the founding of Tucson, writ
ten in the fair, round hand of
Marcos de Mia, who explored
Arizona in 1539.--Tombstone

Forest Supervisors were re-
Gently instructed to notify all
cattle and horse men that it
would be necessary for them to
file applications for grazing per-
mits before the season opens,
and that such application should
not extend beyond the calendar
year in which the application
was filed. The former necessity
of dividing the range to avoid
conflict, has been abrogated, this
applies only to cattle and horse
applications. No new instruc-
tions have been received regard
ing sheep grazing on reserves
here.
In the cattle and horse appli-
cations, it will be expressly
stipulated that no cattle or
horses shall be corraled within
500 yards of any stream or spring
and further an agreement to
fully comply with all and sin
gular requirements of any law
of congress now or hereafter
enacted relating to grazing.
Last year many stockmen
were slow to make applications
for grazing privileges and some
few overlooked it entirely,
though their stock was found
on the reserves. In the coming
year the instructions received
by Supervisors will be followed
strictly and those who fail or
refuse to comply with the rul-
ings of the Department, will
alone be to blame for whatever
action may be taken later by the
government in their cases.-Co-

The Prospector.

cit is showing hard and the
prospectors are coming in, says
a letter from a northwestern
mountain town. In California
the prospector in many localities
can keep on through the fall
and winter bnt in many of the
mountainous regions OF the
metal mining states his move
ments are governed by the snow.
When it begins to disappear
from the foothill in the spring
he is off with his outfit and horse
or burro, and through the sum-
mer is busy. When he starts he
has mostly food supplies, cook
ing outfit, and a few simple min
ing tools; when he returns he
has mostly samples of ore and
the local assayer is kept busy.
He works through the winter,
grubstakes himself or gets some
one to put up for him and starts
off again; he always sees riches
ahead, and though these riches
do not always materialize, who
shall say that he does not get as
much enjoyment from their pros
pect as the weary-eYed, over
worked city man who ofttimes
has the money without being
able to stop long enough to en-
Joy a little of it. The prospector
is the best friend OF the miner,
and of the man who makes min
ing machinery. He creates the
domain that they enter and en-
joy. Upon his failure or success
depends the prosperity of many
people. He is the pioneer in all
mining operation and is the
faithful and efficient ally of
everything connected Herewith.

To Lease Mineral Lands.

Senator Mason, of Illinois, has

After Many Years.

A few years ago while Robert
Stewart was governor of Mis-
scuri, a steamboat man was
brought in from the peniten-
tiary for a pardon. He was a
large, powerful fellow, and when
the governor looked at him, he
seemed strangely affected. He
scrutinized him long and closely.
Finally he signed the document
that restored the prisoner to
liberty. You will commit some
other crime and be in the peni-
tertiary again [ fear"
The man solemly promised
that he would not. The gouern-
or looked doubtful, mused few
minutes and said:
"You will go back on the river
and be a mate again, Isuppose"?
The man replied that he would.
well, I want you to promise
me one thing, resumed the gov
ernor. Il want you to pledge
me that when you are mate again
YOU will never take a billet of
wood in your hand and drive a
sick boy out of bunk to help
you load your boat on stormy
night"
The steamboat man said that
he would not, and inquired what
the governor meant by asking
him such question.
The governor replied: ''Be-
cause some day that boy may
become governor and you may
want him to pardon you for a
crime. One dark stormy night,
many years ago, you stopped
your boat on the Mississippi
river to take on a load of wood.
There was a boy on board who
was working his passage from
New Orleans to st. Louis, but
he was very sick of fever and
was lying in a bunk You had
plenty of men to do the work,
but you went to that boy with a
stick of wood in your hand and
drove him with blows and curses
out into the wretched night and
kept him toiling like slave ur-
til the load was completed. l

don. Never again be guilty OF
such brutality.

his face went out without d word.

was, and what a lesson to only.

General Haines hurried from the

missioner Noble will remain in this

Gen. Haines in Washington. Commits
sioner Noble said that they did not
bring with them any portion of the

upon to go before the Congressional
committees. Seven of the commits
sioners, he said. are o in Costa

being to call upon the president of

said, was on his way to the Darien
country with a surveying party, look

gion.
Commissioner Noble declined to in
dictate the impression he or the other
commissioners have got as to the best
route for a canal, or to forecast what
the recommendations will be.
The only thing he would say was:

want a route cross the lsthmus, but
the work of digging the canal on any
route will take longer than anybody
seems to think"

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 21.-
Lieut.. Commander Seaton Schroeder,
at present secretary of the naval in
spection board, has been selected to
succeed Capt. Leary as naval governor
of the island of Guam. Commander
Schroeder had applied for and been
promised the governorship Of the ISL
and of Tutuila, but the administration
of the affairs of Guam is believed to
be more desirable and many of the
difficulties in the establishment of gov
eminent have already been removed
through the energy of Captain Leary.
The Navy Department expects a great
future for Guam in a commercial way.
Beside being a naval station, all the
Pacific army transports are expected
hereafter to touch at the island to and
from Manila, the projected Pacific ca
BILE will have a station there; a mer-
camille coaling station will, it is
thought, soon be established and this
will attract merchant vessels, so that
Guam will become a regular port of
call for the shipping in the eastern
seas.
Commander Schroeder expects to sail
on the Solace from San Francisco for
Guam about the middle of May, and
he will relieve Captain Leary before
July next. 1t is stated at the Navy
Department that Captain Leary is com
ing home at his own request and his
action is also in conformity with the
policy the department has laid down,
to make frequent changes in the COM
mand of these naval stations in the
interest of the health and spirit of the
officers.

GRAFTON, w. Va, March 21.-The
Republicans held a mass meeting to-
day to appoint delegates to the Con-
gressional and State conventions. The
court house was well filled with en-
thusiastic Republicans and officehold-
ers. Among those holding federal jobs
were H. Selvey, VIM. Gould, John p.
Love and D. M. Simonton, of the rail-
way mail service, Postmasters Holt, of
Grafton, Bartlett, of West Grafton,
Travis, of Fetterman, Davis, Simpson
and others. John Sinsel, of the inter
nal revenue service, State Auditor La
Toilette, Reform School Directors
Werey and Rector, and Roe Walter
and other employees of that institution,
and prominently among them Circuit
Judge John Homer Holt. Each dis
trict delegation had an officeholder to
direct his course.
DR.. E. L. Love, candidate for State
Senator, was made chairman and Cir
cult Clerk John G. st. Clair secretary.
C. P. Guard offered a resolution en-
dorsing the Mckinley administration,
but failed to mention Brother Atkin-
son, of our own State. To this resolu-
ton a rider was tackled eulogizing
Judge Holt and instructing the delega-
ton to vote for him first, last and al
ways. Here the fun began. The
chairman, being an employee of the
Hollis. gave no opportunity for speak
ing, called for a vote, and declared the
resolution passed.
A dozen or more were on their feet
at once, and the confusion lasted owe
an hour. The Pennington delegation,
led by Claude Wyckoff, threatened to
leave the convention unless the reso-
luton i~nstructing for Holt was with
drawn. Many bitter speeches were
made against the ring. Isaac Locke,
of Knottsville, said: "The Democrats
call you imperialists, but you cannot
cram any of your Imperialism down
my throat to-day"
The resolution was withdrawn, and
the Pennington and Knottsville dele
cations went uninstructed. 1t was a
battle between the Hollis and Dayton
factions, terminating in a draw. Judge
Holt addressed the convention at
length, declaring for expansion in it's
broadcast terms and denounced most
bitterly the Democrats, yet he will
serve on the bench here next month
as circuit judge. 1t was a hot con-
test and the Taylor delegation is di-
vided.
