THE BLACK MESA FOREST RE-
SERVE is OPENED FOR
SHEEP GRAZING.

Information has been received
from Hon. Binger Hermanl, Com
missioner OF the Land Office, that
two hundred and twenty five thou
sand sheep will be allowed to Craze
upon the Black Mesa Forest Reserve
during the coming season beginning
April LIST. Sheep will be excluded
from thst part of the reserve in
Graham county and south of the
ella Colorado divide, also all south
of the rim of the Mogollon Mesa
and west of,the line between ranges
nine and ten which is along the
Verde Colorado divide.
Although this division is APP
parenely a victory for the people OF
the Salt River Valley, as it excludes
sheep from all of that part of The
reserve sloping south, we feel con
fident that the Honorable Secretary
of the Interior will continue his in
Testigation through the present sea
son aud that the final result will be
a reasonable set of regulations fol
the management of the forest re
serves, which will give due consider
alton to all interests concerned.

SPANISH LETTERS.
Many of the MiSsIvea Are Written by
/ Hired Scr.bes Along
the Streeta.

In nothing is the illiterate condition
OF Spain shown as in the numerous writ
ing booths which line the streets OF
Barcelona. Spain has preserved much
of the picturesque life Of PAST ages.
and even at the pres ent day in many
of its towns may be seen the watch
man, with pike and lantern. going his
nightly rounds not far from a fine
street brilliantly illuminated by the
electric light. In the Rambla, the prin-
cipal street of Barcelona. may be seen
several of these writing booths of the
public scribes. There. for small con-
sideration. the illiterate or anyone else
may have anything indited, from the
poetry of love epistle to the prosaic
application for situation. The front
of each booth is placarded with the
name of the scribe and the services he
is prepared to render to his custimers.
Some scribes combine the art of paint
ing with that of writing. and all add to
their activities the business of registry
offices for servants.

The telegraphic reports from the

trast to conditions in the Salt River

The recent allotment of lands in
severalty in the Indian Territory
has had the effect Of creating a
number of Indian heiresses who own
from $4,000 to $4,000 worth of
property each, and has drawn to
them many white adventures who
desire to marry them for their mon
ey. The interior department here
says that most OF these women are
of more than average culture and
intelligence, many of them highly
educated, aud possessing no racial
characteristics that would enable
the uniformed to distinguish them
from other American women, and
that they will not be satisfied with
the ordinary run of adventures
Besides, license fee of $1,000 is re-
quired for the express purpose oil

FLASHLESS GUNS.
The Latest Artillery Improvement Is
Far Ahead of Smokelesa
Powder.

II is reported that the new French
rapid fire gun invented by Col. Hum
bert gives no flash or sign of fire. If
this be true, the French have made an
advance in artillery second only in i'm
portance 10 that which marked the in
PRODUCTION by them of smokeless pow
DER says the Scientific American. In
the operations around Santiago the
only means by which our men could
locate the position of the enemy was by
the flash. If this should be removed
the art of war, especially on land, will
become more difficult-than ever. for
masked battery of smokeless powder
and flashless, guns would be positively
undiscoverable. The only description
of the gun that has come o hand is
rather obscure; bu, it wCr-C seem that
IN attempt is made to cool the larger
portion of the gases below their flash
point before they are allowed to reach
the open air. The rate of fire has
reached maximum of 20 shots per
minute. To accommodate the in
creased expenditure of ammunition it
is proposed to reduce a single battery
from five to four guns and increase the
Number of ammunition wagons.

From 1864 to 1858 the Butterfield COM
rany of New York. whose agent was

claim known as Decouta No. g. and sunk
