ALL KINDS OF GOLD
Caught By New Placer Machine at
 Dos CabezaS.

pr. J. Byron Sloane, president of the Dos Cabezas Gold Miring company and shareholder in the Nebraska Gold Mi ming company. informs a Range News representative that the new placer ma chine recently installed in Gold Gulch was started Wednesday morning and several tons of placer dirt put through with good results. The rate the ma chine treated the dirt on her trial run was about equal to 100 tons per day.
 To test the machine the surface dirt was run through and quantities of flower gold extracted.
 Here is where this particular machine out does any other placer machine ever put into operation-it saves the fine or flower gold which is ordinarily lost in working placer dirt.
 The machine catches on the rifles in the sluce way all the gold that has been able to catch in placer dirt, and every particle of fine or flower gold

CHARLESTON CUTTING scRAPE
Mariana Gonzales Carves up a Fellow
 COuntryman.

A special to the Bisbee Review Fri day night states that a cutting affray took place at the little town of Charles ton, near Fairbank, Thursday, in which Luis Montez was dangerously wounded by a knife in the hands of Mariana Gonzales. The recovery of MonteZ is doubtful. Gonzales was taken to Tombstone soon after the fight. and is now lodged in jail pending the out come Of MonteZ' condition.
 It is possible that a charge of murder will be lodged against the prisoner. as Montez is badly cut in several places. It could not be learned what precipi- tated the row.

Travel to the Valley

A Campo correspondent writes the San Diego Union as follows: The travel through this place to and from the des- ert section of the country, is really re- markable. Not day passes but several teams pass one way or the other.
 Mrs Geo. Thing left for Calexico Sat urday to join her husband there after three weeks visit with her friends at Campo. During the past winter she has become a skilled marksman with the rifle, and during her time here enjoyed popping the little rabbits as much as any hunter of the sterner sex.
 A. J. Elliott and family went across to the desert the first of last week to round up and brand their cattle. This being the time of general round up among the cattle men in that locality. Their stay is somewhat indefinite, de- pending upon other business interests which they have.

Alfalfa Versus Fruit

It is coming to be recognized that al falfa is more reliable proit-maker than fruit in this state, "alfalfa" having come :. to be generic term meaning almost any kind of stock feed. It is not possi- ble to figure out on paper an income from alfalfa which is half so alluring as the income which can be "estimated' from fruit ranch. Nor as a matter of fact, will any alfalfa field yield, one year with another, so large net income as can be got from our very best orchards owned by men with capital to operate them and cultivated by their owners or under their immediate direction. But for the plain, ordinary farmer alfalfa and what it stands for is the crop. If there are less possible dividends there is less certain anxiety. Alfalfa makes meat and milk, and it is animal products that are the foundation of profitable az riculturp, and there is no country on earth better suited to them than the State of California. There is always some discortent present among the farmers, but we seldom hear of any among the producers of staple crops and animal products. These men do not hold conventions and protest against the iniquity of other people. They at tend to business and take in the money. It is the case in California and through out the United States.
 Even wealthy men with good orchards on good ground are turning to alfalfa. A dispatch from Tehama county men tions two men well known to have ample means who are hitching their traction engines to fine peach trees in full bear ing and shaking them out by the roots. They will plant alfalfa in their place. One immediate cause of this proceeding is said to be that they are tired of both ering with the labor problem. They will raise crops which can be harvested by machinery and fed out to animals on the place and which can transport them selves to market if necessary. That is sound farming. The propaganda for the upbuilding of California should be placed firmly on the basis of the animal industries carried on upon irrigated lands with such aid as the ranges can afford. Then we shall have the system of diversified industries, which has been the dream of wise Californians for many years.-San Francisco Chronicle.

EVENTS IN WASHINGTON AND
TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS
Civilized Indian Tribes.

The annual report of the commission
TO the five civilized tribes. which, for
decade has been engaged in Indian
Territory in the task of dissolving tri-
bal governments. extingulshing com
munal title to the land. vesting pos
session and title in severalty among
the citizens of the tribes and assimi-
lating tribal conditions generally to
American citizenship standards, says
that the work will be disposed of by
the end of the fiscal year, 1906"
Regarding recent revelations in the
territory, the report says:
"The same interests are opposed to
the completion of this business that
were opposed TO its being commenced.
and as the end draws near they pursue
with redoubled energy the same tao
tics of obstruction. fault-finding, ex-
aggeration, slander and all manner Of
false statements in order to confuse
the situation, muddy the waters and
embarrass, hinder and prevent the con-
elusion OF the work. But every con-
sideration of legitimate interest calls
for the firm and consistent mainte-
nance of the past and present policy
Of the government. and we only ask
of Congress and the administration,
whose instruments We are. that before
they heed these raordinary state
ments. yet not more extraordinary
than those of 1898, they hear both
sides now. as then. and we venture
the assertion that inquiry will develop
that they dre false in substance and
are voiced bY men whom we have
foiled or are seeking to foil in unlaw4
full and predatory practices. or by the
credulous and deluded followers of
such men,"
To check the speculation in pine
timber on the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw lands the commission recommends
the sale of the standing pine under
sealed bids.
The report says that in administer
ing upon the five great estates con-
stituting the lands of these tribes. ag
gregating 20,000,000 acres, the com
mission has passed upon nearly POO
900 applications for citizenship enroll
ment and claims to the property.

Chinese Treaty Ratified.

The Senate in executive session rati-
fled the treaty for the extension of the
commercial relations between the
United States and China, and then re-
moved the injunction of secrecy. No
opposition was manifested by any SEN
ator to the treaty. although Mr.. Mel
son, Republican, of Minnesota, made a
long speech in which he criticised the
convention az making insufficient pro-
vision for the trade OF the United
States. He said it indicated that the
hand of Russia had been shown against
this country. making IL impossible for
the United States to receive the con-
cessions needed in the way of open
ports. He said that the ports of Muk-
den and Antung, which are opened un-
der the treaty. are in fact inland ports.
accessible only to vessels of light
draft. He blamed Russia for this con-
dition of affairs. and warned the Sen
ate that we may yet have trouble with
that country over the Manchurian
question, which he said had been re-
sponsible for the inability of the Unit
ed States plenipotentiaries to obtain
the opening of other important ports
under more favorable conditions.
The attitude taken by Mr.. Nelson
was upheld in speeches by number
OF otner senators, although 1t was
argued at the same time that this
treaty is an entering wedge to our
trade and that it was the best China
was able to do under Russian duress.
Mr.. Lodge urged the Importance of
having the treaty ratified and said that
the State Department considered i'm
mediate action as essential. He de
clared that the ratification probably
would have a bearing on the settle
ment of the far Eastern question. Sen
ators Morgan, Cullom. Spooner and a
number of others agreed with Mr..
Lodge.
1t was stated by some of the speak
ers that il Russia had objected to the
treaty 1t had not been apparent, and
on the contrary 1t was said that she
had openly expressed her approval of
It, There was no division on the mo-
ton to ratify.
The secretary of war has deter
mined to take no further action toward
the utterances of Major General Mac
Arthur in Honolulu recently. in which
he is alleged to have predicted war
between the United States and Ger
many. In cablegram to the depart
ment General Macarthur explains that
his remarks were made in private con-
versation, and not with the slightest
iaea that they would be given public
ity. In view of the precedents in such
cases, the department will allow the
matter to drop.
