The party will most likely be augmented at Tucson by the addition of several more legal gentlemen who represent clients in that city, having claims within the Baca float.
 The story of the float has been often related. but now, that it is timely, brief retelIing may he helpful to the understanding of many who have never heard it. In the oIden time, when all this country belonged to Mex ico, that government issued many grants of land to it's citizens for one reason or another, an1 during the last generation, since the country has been owned by the United States there has been a deal of trouble concerning titles Most of these eases were adjUdicated by the court of private land claims, body created for that pudpose. and which, having served its end, went out of existence. One of these land grants
 aa given t' a man named Luis Maria Baca. and it transpired that it includ- ed the city of Las Vegas. New Mex iCo. In settling with Baca. this gov ernment gave him in lieu of the tract including Las Vegas, Q certain acre age that he might select wherever there was public land unoccupied, and so far as was then known, non-min- eraI bearing. provided he make each of his locations in the form of a square.
 These lieu land locations were made in 1862, and in order to get the required acreage, five of them were made. one being in Colorado, two in New Mexico. and two in Arizona One Of the Arizona grants was in the vest ern part of Yavapai county, and whether it has been settled er%sot the writer is not informed, but the other is the tract now in question, north east of Calabasas, and is known as 'Saca Float, No 3.
 From the fact that there are so many claimants whose interests are adverse to the float it is expected there will be a vast amount of testi- mony offered, some of it dating back to the first invasion of this section ! by American settlers. It is said that ! among other things will be affidavits of the late Col. Chas. D. Poston. one of ] the earliest settlers there, and that the ] California witnesses Mir.

AN INVESTIGATION
 OF BACA FLOAT
Surveyor General Ingalls, Goes to EO-
 gales to Take Testimony.

Surveyor General Ingalls, left last
 night for NogaIes to take testimony
 in what is known as the land case ol
 the Baca Float, No. 9, the testimony
 to be forwarded to the general lana
 office for consideration and later de-
 cision. Mr. Ingalls, was accompahleu by R. L. Long, who will assist nlIl'
 and who became very familiar WIIn the case during his service as clerk or
 the court of private land claims, dur ing the life of that institution.
 The float is a large area or land
 that was given to the claimant or ms
 predecessor in interest, in lieu of
 former Mexican land grant, the supu-
 Iatiou being that at the time of its
 location it should contain no known mineral land. nor any holdings then occupied by other settlers It is alleged
 now. that much of the ground is min eraI ground, and some of it was occu-
 pied when located in the Baca hoat-
 The purpose of this investigation is to
 determine, as far as possible, the areas
 and location of lands concerning when
 this allegation can be substantIated.
 so that when so determined, they may
 be segregated from the float.
 This float is located north and east
 of Calabasas, and is said to include
 good deal of fine land, aside from it's
 mineral possibilities, making very
 desirable holding for a stock range. During the years since the 1ioat was located, and pending its demonstra- tion of ownership by those who clam it. many people have settled upon It for one purpose or another, and 1t IS presumed that after the settlement | which is now contemplated, these peo-
 pie will have to either move off or make terms with the owner. It is nat ural therefore, that all who can poss'- bly, do so, will strive to convince the authorities of their long residence, or | if their land is of a mineral nature, that the fact was known previous 10 the location of the float in 1862.
