BAD CONDITION IN GlLA
Two Hundred Thousand Sheep
 Have Invaded the Ranges.

A special to the Douglas Ameri- can from Globe, under date of Feb. 10, contains the following protest:
 A very serious condition exists in the northern part of Gila coun- ty, where the cattle ranges have been invaded by some two hundred thousand head of sheep, which have not only eaten all the grass but have also consumed the browse and everything edible. The situation has been rendered more critical by the prolonged drouth. Some cattle have died and heavy losses can scarcely be avoided. There appears to be no relief in sight for the cat tie owners, who are among the best citizens, many of whom have been in possession of the ranges for years, have made improvements and an- nually paid their taxes. The sheep men, on the other hand, have no interests in the county, and con- tribute nothing towards its support, but are fast destroying taxable val ues and doing irreparable damage. The problem of how to remedy this reyil is difficult of solution. The leasing of the range has been much discussed but is objected to by own CTS of small herds who fear that wealthy individuals and companies might gain monopoly. It has been suggested that plan be de- vised for direct control of the range by government officials, and there is no question but that the govern ment would be justified in exercis- ing its authority to prevent the overstocking of the range, which has already worked much injury in sections of the west. The ques- tion is one which the territorial cattle association should take up and present to the department at Washington, urging prompt and serious consideration with a view of finding a practical solution.

 The United Verde and Equator smelters will eat up about fifty standard cars of coke every week, which, with coal, and other SUD- plies for Jerome, and the district generally, and the two companies controlled by Senator Clark, will make an immense amount of busi- ness to be handled by the United Verde & Pacific railway.-Jerome News.
 The we'll known Arizona King mine, of Yuma county, and one of the richest gold producers of the territory, may soon be sold as it appears that the owners, Epes Ran dolph, H. E. Huntington, Senator Ives and Chas. Shannon have offer ed it for sale for $55O,OOO and some San Diego people are considering the offer. The owners claim that the mine is netting $6OOO per month with the present 1OOton plant, but they want to get out of mining.-Yuma Sentinel. The January output of the Shan non, it is estimated, will approxi- mate 100000 pounds. At the present time the Shannon smelter is treating between 25 and 30 tons of Standard ore on a custom basis. It is stated that ore from the Stand ard property last year averaged 3S per cent. copper. The amount oi Standard ore handled by the Shan non smelter will gradually be in creased. Unofficial gossip is to the effect that the Shannon will go on a dividend paying basis by Ju- lV 1

WORK AT TONTO BASIN
Nobody There Doubts That the
 Dam Will Be Built.

Livingston, Ariz., Especial cor respondence of the Republican. )- No one who is familiar with the op- erations which are being carried on at the reservoir site at the present time doubts that in the course of a few years the people of the Salt River valley will reap the benefits of a magnificent system of water storage. Consistent progress is be- ing made in every department of the work connected with this pro- ject, and those interested may feel perfectly safe in discrediting any rumors or reports to the contrary. Practically everything which has been done SO far has been prelimi- nary to the construction of the dam and the other permanent works connected with the reservoir. The work has been so planned that when the time comes to take up these large pieces of construction everything will be in readiness to carry them out to the best advan- tage. Much of the preliminary work has been done, and as many men are being employed at present as can be used to advantage. Con- sistent progress is being made on every hand, and there is an at- mosphere about the whole enter prise which inspires confidence. Work on the telephone line is being pushed as rapidly as possible. The poles are now set to the top of Fish Creek hill and the wire men are not far behind. Contractor Thorpe went over the entire line last week with Mir. Hill and has arranged for the work on the up- per end of the line to be commenced at once. Most of the material is on the ground and the poles are being distributed.
 The pipe line from Cottonwood canyon is nearing completion, and in few weeks the camp at the dam site will be independent of the river, which so far has furnished the water.
 Two forces of men are working on the new Globe road, and in short time that highway will be ready for use. This road leaves the stage route six miles above Livingston, and takes nearly di- rect route to the dam site, skirting the south boundary of the reser- voir. When completed all the freighting from Globe will be done over it, thereby sa wing distance and avoiding sand and heavy grades. A small force of men is working on the Canyon road and has reached a point some five miles from Fish Creek. The entire line is surveyed, and large force will be put on as soon as the Phoenix people say the word.
 The stone masens on the cement mill have been taken off pending the settlement of the cement ques- tion. A small force is still work ing on the hill, but their work is confined to excavation.
 The sawmill on the Sierra Anehas is running to its full capacity, and the lumber is being utilized as fast as it can be hauled down.
 A temporary electric plant has been installed at the dam site, and it now furnishes light for the camp. It will also furnish power for the electric drills, which are to be used in tunnel construction. A storm of rain and snow visited this sec tion on the night of February 5, and was heartily welcomed by every one. The precipitation was not sufficient to more than dampen the ground, but it served to renew hope for greater benefit in the future. M. R. K.
