BAD INDIANS.

Five Indians and squaw from Ft.
Mcdowell called at the governors
office yesterday with the complaint
that they had been driven from their
homes at Ft. Mcdowell by white set
tiers. says the azette.
Originally the Indians were sta
toned at San C'rlos. They are Mo-
have Apaches aid when by order of
the Commission of Indian Affairs
they were comsrlled to leave San
Carlos, they were directed by the
agent at that place to commence farm
ing at Ft. McD. veil. The Indians
have had several disputes with the
settlers concerning possession of farm
ing lands, and the friction has
threatened to develop serious strife on
several occasions. To justify their
actions in driving the Apaches out OF
the Mcdowell country, ths settlers
claim the Indians recently killed a
white man near the fort and killed a
number of cattle.

TO FIGHT FOREST FIRES.

Commissioners Binger Hermann, of.
the general land Office, has instituted
very thorough system for guarding
against fires within the forest reserya-
tions of all the western states during
the rigid surveillance to prevent any
and all fires from working great dam
age to the public forests.
He has telegraphed each of the res
pectlve superintendents of reserves
asking if in their judgment the present
force of forest rangers is sufficient to
cope with emergencies, and if there
are now any exposed places in these
reserves not sufficiently guarded by an
adequate patrol. If in their Judgment
an Increased force is required during
the heated season these superinteLd-
ents are authorized to recoinmend
new appointments which will be made
as long as the available funds lsst.
Several such appointments have
already been made and many others
will follow when the requests arrive.
This same protection cannot be ex-
tended to the forest on the public do
main outside of the reserves, but
where special agents report spreading
fires, the land Office is ready to assist
in extinguishins them. Up to this
time no fires have gained headway on
the reserves, and the commissioner
hopss this thorough patrol will pre-
vent any extensive conffagration.-Ex

OIL CLAIMS.

There seems little doubt that the
numerous claims which have been
fled on prospective oil land near
Walters in the heart of the Colorado
desert, sill arise great deal Of in
teres' as soon as the Gely heat has
beer tempered With the approach of
winter, says Los Angeles exchange.
Meanwhile, the Desert Queen Oil
Company is pounding away in hole
six miles from Walters, where oil
seerages and all the other indications
of the presence of oil are alleged to be
present in satisfying extent. 1t is
not expected that great progress will
be made, as the heat is so great that
no ons is able to accomplish much.
But it is indicative of the character of
the country to say that one of the old
time drillers for the Union Oil Com
pany was so favorably impressed with
the outlook that he undertook to drill
!;
the well, taking his wages in stock in
the new company. It is stated that
there are many points between WAL
ters and Yuma where there are oil
indications, and that number of
companies are only awaiting cooler
weather to begin operations. Sun

ELECTRIC POWER FOR GLOBE

j, 4 number Of the business men of
Globe held meeting Tuesday evening
at the court house at that place to
examine into the merits of the big
elecrieal power enterprise being pro-
NOTED by Ohas. M. Clark, which will
proba bly, result in the organization of
a company in Globe to take hold of it.
Mr.. CLARK showed by expert reports
and estimates that the proposition is
very attractive one for investment,
both the power and the market being
most excellent. Owing to the late
ness of the hour when Mr.. Clark
finished his explanations the meeting
was adjourned until this week.
The installation of this enterprise
means big improvement in mining
development in the Globe and Ray
districts, as a company operating
under Mr.. Clark's proposition can
furnish power at much less rate than
it can be furnished by steam under
the existing fuel conditions.
