 w. A. Hamilton of Clifton offered a reward of one hundred dollars for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the murderers of the Cninaman.
 On Tuesday morning a Mexican ar rived in Clifton and informed the offi- cers that he could take them to the place where two of the men were who had robbed and murdered the China man. Accordingly a posse composed of Bill Spaw, Dave Arzate, Lou Kin nette, Bill Moore, c. F. Pascoe and M. H. Mason was soon organized and started with the man to the place of refuge. The posse rode to Sardine Canyon and when they arrived at the Bill Woods ranch, a Mexican called Manuel Gonzalez was standing in the door of the ranchhouse, armed with a Winchester and a six-shooter and as they approached he took a shot at them. After firing a second shot ais

 Dave Arzate immediately recognized the man as one for whom he carried a warrant for burglary but who had always managed to avoid arrest He had often threatened the officers with the statement that when they came to arrest him he would give them a hot time and he certainly made good his threat. The fact that his Winchester went back on him at the critical mo- ment was the only thing that saved some of the deputies from injury and perhaps death. The inquest was held Wednesday and the facts brought out corroborated the statements of the of 1 ficers as to the entire affair besides bringing out the fact that the victim was one of the worst characters of the district and far better out of the way.
 The body of the man was then shown to the Chinaman who had been | shot in the knee and after thoroughly and carefully examining the body of the dead man he positively stated that in him he recognized the man who had fired the shot that had given him his wound.
 The officers feel certain that the gang was composed of more than three men though only three were seen by the Chinamen and the fact that the Mexican, Gonzalez, came out oi

GATHERING ORE
For the Arizona Smelling Co. Near
 Humboldt.

MT. Edward w. Brooks, ore pur- chasing agent of the Arizona Smelling Go. of Humboldt, Arizona, wno spent Monday night in Phoenix, left yester- day morning for Kelvin and vicinity on business.
 MT Brooks has arranged for the opening of an office in Phoenix, most likely in the Fleming block which will be his general headquarters and where he will furnish all information to in terested parties concerning the new smelters and where he will be partic- ularly pleased to welcome all those wno have ore to sell. The buying of ore is the principal feature of his bus mess and he has already made two or three trips to various districts in this part of the territory. The shelter will be ready for operation in a very short time and is now prepared to buy all the ore of proper kind that is of fered at a right price. And concern ing the price he is able to offer a re- turn of much ore that hitherto would not have paid to ship the long dis tance necessary to reach other smell ters.
 MT. Brooks will make frequent trips to the Pinal county districts where there should be large quantities of available ore from this time on, and will also look after the smelter inter- ests along the Arizona & California railroad line, and such districts as surround Phoenix and Wickenburg The shelter has secured freight rates that together will enable it to handle a vast amount of ore. And under these conditions it Is confidently be-
 ieved there will be plenty of ore to be had, many new properties being enabled to produce that at present have brought no returns to their owners.

The exceedingly cold weather of the

the cold as we'll as have the Russians.

impossible to keep fires, and during

PUBLIC LANDS REPORT
President Says Radical Revision Is
Necessary
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. Feb ia second
partial report of the public lands COM
by President Roosevelt, who, in his
letter of transmittal, says that the re-
port seems ito require a radical re-
vision of most of the laws affecting
the public domain, If we are to secure
the best possible use of the remaining
public lands by actual home makers"
Among other things the commission
says: THE present laws are not suited
to meet the conditions of the growing
public domain. The agricultural pos
sibilities are unknown. Provision
should be made to ascertain them and,
pending such ascertainment, to hold
under government control and in trust
for such use the lands likely to be de-
veloped by actual settlers. The right
to exchange lands in forest reserves
for lands outside should be with
drawn. Provision should be made for
the purchase of needed private lands
inside forestry reserves for the ex-
change of such lands for specified
tracts of like area and value outside
the reserves"
The report renews its recommenda-
tion for the repeal of the timber and
stone act, and asks that the sale of
the timber from unreserved public
lands be authorized. The Communication
clause of the homestead act is found
to work badly. Three years residence
should be required before commuta-
ton.
"The desert land law is found to lead
to monopoly in many cases. The area
of desert entry should be reduced to
not exceeding 160 acres. Actual resi-
dence for not less than two years
should be required, with the actual
production of a valuable crop of one
fourth the area, and proof of an ade-
quate water supply"
The commission opposes the immedi-
all grazing lands, but recommends that
the president should be authorized to
set aside grazing districts by proclama-
ton, said districts to be under the
control of the secretary of agriculture.
The summary concludes with this
statement: THE fundamental fact that
characterizes the situation under the
present public land law is this-that
the number of patents issued is in
creasing out of all proportion to the
number of new homes"

increasing debt.
The company employed a total of 49,
