As a result of the recommenda- tions of Gov. Brodie, enacted into a law by the legislature, the terri tory of Arizona is $29, 9,S42.7O richer today than It would have been but for the Cowan bill, which removed the incorporation fees from the office of the secretary to the auditor of the territory.

 The Santa Fe's survey, under the supervision of Mir. Secar, has just established the fact that the New Mexico-Arizona line is just one and one-half miles off. Instead of being west of Luna, it is about one mile east, and Arizona is en- titled to about one mile more land than she has hitherto claimed.
 The new Copper Queen smelter at Douglas, which is the largest and most complete in the south

The new plant will give employment to about 500 men, large portion of whom were formerly employed in the company's smelter at Bisbee, which has been shut down. How ever, more men will be employed at Bisbee than formerl y as the new smelter will treat as much again ore as the old one
 The stage driver between Phoe- nix and Cave Creek was bitten by Gila monster few days ago, says the Republican. A passenger picked up the monster and put it on the seat with the driver. A jolt on the stage caused the driver to
 bump against the monster, which promptly fastened it's ugly teeth in the heshy part of the mans person, and it required some force to pry its jaws apart, which was not done
 until the mans flesh was badly
 lacerated. It is supposed that the mans clothing caught the poison, as no effects of poisoning were mo- ticed after the bite.
 A. E. Wilson, a high jumper who
 travels over the country giving ex-

 amounting to $4 to pay him for the feat of leaping from the top of a
 fifty foot pole. Four Santa Fe em- , ployes held the net for him, and, l, as he leaped, they lost their heads, allowing the net to sag, the result
 being that Wilson struck the ground on his feet, the force of the impact !. crushing his right hip and causing internal injuries which may prove , fatal. Even should he recover, he will be cripple for life.

 Copper deposits are not confined to any particular geological age,
 but occur in rocks of almost any age and in many different kinds of rocks. The United Verde mine of Arizona is in slaty and schostose rock, with limestOne-all of pre- . Cambrian age. Those of Butte, ! Montana, are granite; those of Missouri are in carboniferous lime
 stone; those of Bingham district,
 Utah, are in porphyry and lime , stone; those in Cananea in similar formations. Many copper deposits are in diabase and diorite, or in schists altered from those rocks.

TO INSPECT STOCK
Stock on the Reserves Will Be
 Inspected by Government.

The government forestry reserves of Arizona and New Mexico are to receive special protection this sspring to guard against the invasion of the reserves by stock having the scabies or otherwise infected, says the Range News. Tine regulations of the general land office of the in- terior department, under whose care the reserves are conducted and po- liced, provided that all owners of stock to be grazed in the forest re- serves shall be required to submit the stock to inspection by the bu- reau of animal industry when called upon to do so, and, when found necessary, to have the stock dipped or otherwise treated before it is allowed to enter. Upon the receipt by the officers of the gem eral land office, of written com munica ton from any such inspect or that any owner has refused to have his stock inspected or has failed to have it dipped or other wise treated after the same has been ordered by the inspector, they are to at once notify the owner, if he is an applicant for the grazing priv ilege, that his stock will not be al- lowed in the reserve, whethera per init has been issued to him or not, until he has complied with the or der. If the stock has already en- tered the reserve the officers must compel their immediate removal.
 This is the text of general or der issued by the commissioners of the land office, on October 3rd, last. The part which the bureau of ami nal industry is to play in the pro- lection of the reserves, is therefore an advisory one, it being necessary for them to keep the interior de- partment's offices posted on what stock cannot enter.
 The inspectors of the bureau in the territories named have been in touch with the cattle and sheep in- dustries of their respective juris- dictions for a sufficient period to be pretty well acquainted with the sanitary condition of most of the herds, and it was the report of the inspector stationed at Flagstaff, Ariz., Dr. West, that scabies pre- vailed to a considerable extent in his district which caused the secre- tary of agriculture to notify Col. Albert Dean, of the B. A. to be prepared to furnish inspectors to go to those territories to work in con- junction with the officers of the general land office.
 In Dr. Vests letter to the bu- reau which brought the matter to the attention of the secretary of ag- riculture, the San Francisco noun tains or Black Mesa, as it is called, of Arizona, was reported to be in especial need of protection against scabby sheep, and that section will receive especial vigilance.
 April 1st is the date named in the departments order, on and after which stock will be allowed to en- ter the reserves.

 | John Phillips, keeper of Winters well, twenty-five miles southwest of Buckeye, was shot and killed by an unknown man last Friday or Saturday, but whether it was a highway robbery and murder or the result of desperate conflict, is not known although it is believed to be the former. The only clues to the murder were the tracks of a burro and a strange man. As the Winters ranch is an isolated place burro tracks would indicate that some miner or strange traveller had passed through that section and the theory is that Phillips was either killed for what little money or provision he might have had or else shot in a fight.

experts and they are loud
in their praise of them. Let
no one assume, they say, that
these stockings, because they are
made Of paper, will only last a few
days, for they will last almost as
long as ordinary stockings. The
reason is because the paper OF

the process of manufacture rem

JAPANESE HOMES.
Are Simple and Easily Constructed
Affairs Without Doors or Halls.

Are Simple and Easily Constructed
Affairs Without Doors OF Halls.
A JapanesehOuse consist inthe
main of a post at each corner and
a roof, says the Detroit Free
Press. The roof may or may not
be covered with heavy channeled
purplish tiles-it makes little DIFF
ference in the long run whether it
is or is not, for if it is not tiled
the first typhoon that comes along
removes it into somebody's gar
den anything up to a quarter Of
a mile away, and if it is tiled heay-
lily enough to resist the typhOon
so much the worse for the people
underneath it when the first gen
uine earthquake arrives. But the
odds are that it win be burned
down before either happens, as
the Japanese use very cheap
lamps and very fiery petroleum
and are regular children about
fires. OF course something else
is done to the four posts and the
roof before they become housesin
which births, marriages and
deaths can take place. But really
remarkably little is necessary.
Cross beams are naturally added
to support the weight of the roof.
grooves are made in the cross
beams and in the platform raised
a foot or two above the ground
which constitutes the floor. A
Japanese house is all on one floor
generally-in fact. one might say
it is all on one floor. Between the
grooves in the floor and the
grooves in the cross beams are run
shutters with paper panels to di
vide the houses into whatever
number of rooms the owner may
choose, which depends on the
number of bedrooms he may re
quire. There are no doors or pas
sages in a typical japanese house
In it every room acts as a passage
into the room beyond it and fo.
the door you slide back the pane
that happens to be nearest to you
For this sliding there are littl,
bronze sunk handles in the wood
en- frames of the panels. The out
side paper shutters do not com.
quite to the edge of the platform
floor, the grooves along the edge
are filed at night or in sever
weather with wooden shutters
each of which is held in its plac
by the one that follows it, the las
one being secured with a films
wooden bolt.

PUBLIC BATHS OF PARIS.
Conservative Dislike of Water Out
Wardly Applied Hard to Overcome.

Conservative Dislike of Water Out
wardly Applied Hard to Overcome.
A curious little print has come
to light through the publication
of a report in the French Bulletin
Official of the number Of people
who have prOfted by public baths
to give themselves an elementary
wash. 1t is needless to say that
the number is not startlingly
large in proportion to the pOpula-
ton. The use of the bath makes
but slow progress among the
French, except in the upper class
es, among whom it is an honored
institution-in Paris, at least.
The prOvincials are a little behind
hand in their love of water out
wardly applied, and still speak of
a "bain de prOprete" or a "bain de
sante" as a remedy to be used but
sparingly.
French workingmen are more
apt to adopt habits of personal
cleanliness than working women,
who are strictly conservative in
these matters, and look upon
these matters with deep suspi-
cion. Nevertheless they are in
one respect more enterprising
than the men. Only one man in
every thousand, according to the
Bulletin Official, takes swimming
lessons from the bath keepers,
while one woman out of every ff-
teen does her best to acquire the
art. But this only proves, what
the philOsophic observer of man
kind has long suspected, that
women are even more anxious
than men to be always ''in the
swim"
