Strange Ruling Made by Inter
ior Department.

A dispatch from Eureka, Cal, to
the Examiner. under date Of the 18th
says:
All timber claims in this district
land office, in fact, all such claims in
this state, Washington and Oregon.
have been suspended during the past
year by force Of the recent interpre-
tation put on the word speculation"
by the Interior Department The act
which was passed in 1878, prohibits
claimants from filing timber claims
for speculation, and confines the
use Of the timber and land to the
exclusive use and benefit" Of the
claimant.
Until August last the intention OF
the claimant to sell his timber even
tually was not construed as "specula-
tion," and since the adoption of the
law 20 years ago, all such claims have
been patented without question, al
though future sale might be con-
templated. In August last ruling
was made in case at the Susanville
office which held that IL the claimant
had any intention of selling. or II lie
did not testify that no could use the
timber for his own benefit, the claim
was void and the money paid on it
forfeited to the department. Since
that time all claims in the Coast
States have been suspended and will
be cancelled II this ruling is adopted.
for no claimant can possibly use the
timber and land for "his own exclus.
i've use and benefit" as the ruling
holds, unless he runs lumber yard.
This ruling has tied up $50 such
claims In this district alone with
about $3.50, 900 in payments, which
is liable TO be- forfeited to tho depart
ment, In the three Coast states there
are over 5000 such claims suspended.
with g., 800, 600 involved and 800, 600
acres of valuable land which is very
likely to bo taken from the local
claimants and made subject TO "lieu
land scrip" entry.
The claimants made their filings in
the usual manner, which, until this
arbitrary Interpretation Of the word
speculation" has been held satisfac-
tory by all previous secretaries Of the
interior They have not been guilty
Of fraud nor perjury. yet, according
to this ruling, they re virtually pro-
lnounced cheaters and liars.

Seekers for InfOrmation-Crude Ideas

 Will you send us some account of a view of some of the towns2 Are the people respectable2 We will not be very poor people. 1 read in the month dians run people there. Have you any protection and particularly how far is the nearest military post from your townl'
 The cold winters in Illinois are enough to cause many persons to seek a change in mild Arizona, especially in this section. Capable people can find plenty to do better if they com bine means and ability. That combi- nation wilt insure good living i'll Ar 1zona. Most assuredly the people are respectable, if the number of churches, public school, the many public libraries (three in Tucson) and the University of Arizona can be accepted as stand ard of good morals. There are bad people in all communities, but less in Arizona to the square mile than will be found in Illinois and some other eastern States.
 Some books and many papers pro vided with reports from Arizona cor respondents, are publications, the read ing of which will cause eastern people to hesitate in changing their address to Arizona. As to the Indians, 1t Is not known in Arizona that they are or have been giving trouble Oc- casionally the yellow journals demand a scare Indian story, paying well therefor, and they get what is prepar- ed in the sky parlor to suit the pub fishers of said journals.
 There are four military. posts in Arizona towit: Forts Grant, Whipple, Huachuca and Apache, the latter in the county of Apache, which adioins New Mexico and is located ill the eX- treme northeast corner of Arizona. The only occasion in recent years when the United States troops were called out to quell a disturbance was on the occasion of the labor trou bles in Graham mining camps The insti- gators of these troubles were sent to the penitentiary and there was no bloodshed.-

Appointed Lieutenant of the Arizona
 Rangers.
SUPERINTENDENT

Governor Brodie has appointed Ser geant William b Allison of the Ari- zona Rangers, lieutenant of that orga- nization, to succeed Lieutenant Foster, who resigned to accept the appoint ment of deputy United States marshal. The appointment was made on the recommendation of Captain Thomas Rynning of the rangers.
 The new lieutenant has a long and good record as peace officer in this territory, Texas and New Mexico He was sheriff of Midland county, Texas, for ten yeaIs He was first sergeant of the Texas Rangers under the ia nous Captain Hughes for one enlistment of two years.
 He was inspector of the Texas Cattle Raisers' association for three years and was deputy sheriff of Chavez county, N. M
 He enlisted in the Arizona Rangers last April and was soon appointed to be sergeant.
 Governor Brodie in making the ap- pointment is pursuing policy he en- tered upon from the beginning, of pro- noting those members of the rangers who have shown themselves to be de serving. That policy will be adhered to thr rough his administration, as he be- lieves it to be the best for the efficiency of the organization.-Post

eveidence that their interest Is yet on the increase, and what has been said of the pupils is also applicable to each of my teachers. We, therefore, are contemplating this to be a most sue cessful month, since teachers and pupils are united for the general in terest of the school and the co oper- ation of the parents the past month has been a leading factor in making it such an eminently successful month. During the month there were theirty visits made by parents to the school, -an increase of sixteen over the pre- ceeding month. It is hoped that the number of visits by parents during the present month will be double what they were for the month just closed Visits from the parents encourage the teachers and cause better work from the pupils and delight the superinten- dent
 I trust that you will note the very excellent per cent. in attendance throughout the several departments in the school. It will be readily seen that the attendance Is becoming much more regular. While the High school won the banner for attendance, Miss Bohalrs room was but one-tenth of one per cent. below in attendance.
 l trust that the patrons will continue in unity with your honorable board and the teachers to increa SC the enroll ment and to lower the cases of tardi- ness and encourage faithful work from the pupils.

A FUTURE BIG CAMP.
The Winona Group-Rich Copper Pros poets That Were Never Worked.

The copper properties recently ac- quired near Washington Camp, Ari- zona, by the Sonora River Placer Min ing company peaple have been named the "Winona group" and they give promise of being the nucleus of a future big camp. Mir. A. W. Tenneut the general manager, has just returned from visit to the properties and is greatly elated over the prospects. The company has 36 pertinencias which have been patented and in addition have denounced and surveyed 232 more pertinencias. Their machinery, engines, boilers, cables, etc., are all on the ground and the hoist is up and began operations on the 22d. The shaft has been sunk 30 feet at which depth the cap rock was struck, much to the delight of MT. Tennent and the other owners. This Is a sure indication that beneath this cap there is an i'm mense ore body. The vein shows rock richly sprinl1led with pure, flake cop per and the indications are that be- meath the cap rock native copper in great quantities will be encountered.
 The properties are three miles south of Washington Camp and just over the line in Mexico. They are in the San Antonio mountains which are also rich in gold. The mountains on the American side are called the Patago- nias but the Mexicans adhere to the old name and called the range the San Antonio.
 One singular fact in connection with these properties is that they have been run over so many years by pros pectors who never discovered their value. For long time the locations were held by Mexicans in Nogales who neither worked them nor understood their value, eventually disposing of them for a mere trifle.-Cananea Herald.

Arizona at St. Louis.

The Miner and Stockman says that the ArIzona exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition next year will be as complete as it will be possible to present. Our com mmissioners are A. J. Dornn of Prescott, President; H. H. St. Clair of Phoenix, Secretary; B. A. Packard of Bisbee, Treasurer; and Robert N Leatherwood, Superinten- dent, all of whom are working hard to make A success
 From Mir. Leatherwood we learn they are devoting most of their time to Il careful, patient and painstaking collection of every known mineral in Arizona and every agricultural and horticultural production, st the same time stimulating live stock men to do their best. In speaking of the out look "Bob" said Arizona can be relied on to have the best mineral display at the fair and not the least by any means in other lines. He also said chat our fruit display will open the eyes of those eastern people who are of opinion that Arizona's fruit crop consists of cactus plant, sage brush, horned toads, mesquite beans and tarantulas
 So far the commission Is meeting with warm reception from ali classes of our people who are rendering all as- sistance they can. Our Arizona build ing, on the Worlds Fair grounds Is about competed at cost of about S2,5OO
 We are informed that the S32, ,O0O appropriated by our Territory to make A rizOna's showing at the exposition will be enough, under iudicious man cement, to meet all demands.
 Let every one do something to help to swell our exhibit so we can make showing when the doors of the bigshow are swung open that we will feel proud of.-Ex.

From the Benson Press we learn that the shelter being erected there is nearing completion and expect to blow in soon. It is stated they ha ve ore enough promised to keep them steadily running. And we would add, that if the parties conducting the business will win the confidencs of the miners by far dealing and moderate charges it will be success.
