PUBLIC LAND FRAUDS.
Statement From Secretary Of interior
Department.


Department.
The following statement of the con-
duct of the investigation into public
land frauds in the Pacific coast states
was prepared at the interior depart
ment and given out with Secretary
Hitchcock's approval:
Nearly year ago a report reached
the secretary which indicated that
frauds of a serious nature had been
and were being perpetrated against the
government under what is known as
the forest reserve land act of June 4,
1897, by combination of land specu-
lators on the Pacific coast. The infor-
nation and indicated frauds were of so
grave a character that the secretary
at once directed a thorough investiga-
ton to be made. This was commenced
last June and has been conducted by
those in charge of the actual work
with great care and with all possible
speed consistent with thoroughness
The investigation has proceeded with
out intermission under the secretarys
personal direction and every clue to
wrongdoing has been quietly followed
the confident belief of those in charge
that the guilty parties will be appre-
hended and speedily brought to Justice
at has been the determination of
the secretary from the beginning that
the matter should be probed to the
1f no IL,
huential character of some of the men
involved, and the inquiry has been
conducted throughout along these
lines. The work is now nearing COM
pletion and the whole matter at an
early date will be in shape for definite
and appropriate action against the
offenders.
while several hundred thousand
acres of public lands are involved in
the illegal transactions brought to
light, the number of acres to which
patents have been obtained by the per-
petrators of the fraud is comparatively
small. 1t is proper to say also that
some of the statements in regard to
the matter which have appeared In
the newspapers recently, both in the
east and in the west, are more or less
exaggerated and others are mere sur
misses.
THE statements widely circulated to
the effect that five United States sena-
tors and a large number of represen-
tatives were implicated and that the
10 ND inun1unH will rnonh in
100000 are without foundation. 1t
can be positively stated that they did
not originate in the interior depart
ment.
"The details of the investigation
are known to few. At the proper time
full statement will be made cover
ing the results of the entire investiga-
ton and the whole matter will be
given to the public; but, lor obvious
reasons, it is not deemed expedient
that detailed statement of the facts
should be given at the present time.
"The work of the investigation has
been conducted by Arthur B. Hugh,
assistant attorney in the interior de-
partment, and William j. Burns of the
secret service of the treasury depart
ment. Mr.. Burns was called into the
case last May and since that time has
had entire charge of the secret SER
vice features of the work, while Mr..
Hugh had attended to it's legal phases.
The secretary Of the interior is highly
gratified with the service rendered by
the officers in the matter"

Sioux or Crows ?

Governor Chatterton reports that
the Indians had been illegally hunt
ing in Lightning creek, 40 miles from
Lusk, on the Northwestern railroad.
Sheriff Miller was seriously shot
through the hip by the Indians, and
member of his posse, Falkenberg, was
killed. Three Indians were killed. The
Indians are reported by Putnam, coun-
ty clerk of Weston county, to be from
Pine Ridge. Later information is to
the effect that the Indians are Crows.
The remainder of the party are at
large in Wyoming and are supposed to
be headed eastward toward Nebraska.
Senator Warren suggests that the In
dams should be arrested, and he ex-
pressed the opinion that they can be
reached either through Indian agents
or the military authorities. The au-
thorities here believe that the Indians
are a band of Crows on their way to
the Pine Ridge agency to make visit.
II IS thought their meat supply was ex-
austed and they were hunting to obtain
food.

looking for work Jones borrowed
his horse, saddle and bride, stating
that he wanted to ride out to meet
Krautz, the proprietor of the sheep,
and that he would return shortly.
He did not return, aud Coonrod
started IN search of him. He traced
him to Weiser, where he learned that
Jones was in Jail, that he had sold
the horse TO p. e. Roberts for $40,
and the saddle aad bride to Harper
& Riggs for $40, and proceeded to
blow in the money for booze. He
followed this up 80 persistently that
it is supposed it ran him crazy.
A complaint was sworn out, charg.
ing him horse stealing. He will first
be examined for insanity, and il the
examining board decides that he is
not insane, he will be tried on the

As an illustration Of the progress being made by the Mining Department of the Bisbee Review, We quote the introduction to an item relating to the Huachucas, as il appeared in the Ari' zona Republican of March II. It reads ike this: The mining re- sources of the Huachucas have at tracted considerable attention through out the country, judging from the fol lowing item which appears in an east ern paper' Our esteemed contem- porary then proceeds to set forth an article which was originally put ID print by the Mining Department of The Review about two months ago, and which had wandered east and was ta- ken up by eastern papers, some one along the line having failed to credit. We are a mortified failure at blowing our own horn; but will quietly submit to those best acquainted with the facts Sthat the, Mining Department Of The Review has done more to make the mining field of Cochise county famous in the last three months than all other influences combined. We are gratl- fed to observe. moreover. that our efforts in that direction are fully ap- preciated by an intelligent public. Mining is our leading industry, and should have full recognition in the columns of any paper asking for patronage at the hands of the pecpl:; of Arizona.
