was decided for the government the Arizona court granted a rehearing of the Dent case and held that the Dastervignes decision was binding on all courts in the ninth circuit in criminal as we'll as civil cases. and that Dent was therefore guilty of crime.
 So far. therefore, the court de cisions as to the criminality of trespass contrary to the forest reserve regulations are conflicting. Final adjudication of the point can not be had until the ruling of a higher court has been secured; but no court has questioned the right of the secretary of agriculture to make regulations and to recover damages for trespass through civil action.
 Grazing trespassers will be re strained from violation of the regulations by injunction proceed ings and sued for civil damages until the higher courts shall have reached a decision as to the crimi nal character of such trespasses The forest service will continue to exclude unLermitted stock from all forest reserves and 10 collect graz ing fees for all stock under permit

A Sound Position of Arizona Mines

Arizona copper stocks having any backing at all are steadily climbing on the eastern markets. The fact is not only an indication of how the future of the meta l market is regarded by investors, but it is also testimonial to the substantial nature of southwestern mining operations. and the con tidence the mining interests of this section inspire.
 Among the southwestern copper mines are some of the most success full and conservatively managed industries in the world. The records of production are marvel of rapid development. and the i'm dustrial and financial methods of these conpa anirs are recognized as sound. The southwestern copper region has attained the sound p"sition occupied by Michigan and Montana.
 Ariznna should set itself sternlv and unitedlv against the fake propositions such ashave character ized the. Nevada fields. For one man who gains by fraudulent mining hotations. thousands lose a part of the legitimate fruit of honest endravnr The mining fraud is a public enemy.-rucson Post.
