"If the bill which is now before the

"By this new regulation" he con-

effect by July of this year. homeseek-
crs will be allowed to take up claims
on government land as they did some
ten years ago. All property which is
available for agricultural purposes ana
which has not been filed on can De
taken by the homeseekers.
"However, there will not be such q
great deal of land in the local range
as our office is now arranging to take
up many tracts in the reserve which
will be used as homes for the torest
service men who are in the interior OF
the mountains almost the year around.

Some May Lease
"Under a recent regulation the de-
partment of agriculture has allowed the
department here to lease grounds TO
PARTIES who will not interfere with the
service on the range. Grazing ground
can now be leased by us and there is
some excellent pasture which has not
yet been applied for.

ing to the value of the property to be
used and leases are renewed from year
to year, and if the parties apply Tor
a twenty-year lease and there is no
infringement upon the regulations or
this department they will be renewed
from year to year.
"By this manner of leasing we viii
get good returns and 1 feel that the
expense Of the department here Will De
greatly decreased"
One of the first firms to take ad-
vantage Of this new regulation was
Martin &. Brainard of Pasadena, who
have leased forty acres, which covers
the old site once occupied by Swltzer' S

About the middle Of January, 1864,
there was taken from the common ward
Of a New York hospital to the city
morgue the body of an unknown nan,
clad in the wornout garments of the
under world, thin, emaciated, evidently
poverty stricken. All that was known
Of him was that he had been taken
to the hospital from a poor room In
the American House, where, during the
tight of Jan. 10, he had fallen upon
tie broken edge Of a water pitcher and
severed an artery in his neck. How
long he had lain there no one knew,
but when he was found he had lost so
much blood that recovery was imp0s-
Sible. Three days later he died in the
hospital ward. He was alone, poor,

A statue Of this man was unveiled
N Louisville. KY, during the festivities

the city's school children, paid for
with their pennies and erected to hon

thar any other to bring the State Of
Kentucky close to the hearts of the
American people.
The dead body was that of Stephen

Some one, somehow, learned of Fos-

Then the wife, from whom he had been
separated, came hurrying to him. the
country by which he had been neglected
acclaimed him benefactor-but he was
dead in the tattered garments that he
had worn in his last miserable years of
poverty and suffering. They took him
to his home in Pittsburg, they gave him
great funeral, they had a band that
played his songs-the whole country
mourned for him-and the scene In the
New York morgue was forgotten to such
an extent that very few writer's of mu-

BUSY BILL GREENE.
Adventurous Career of the Copper
King of Mexico.

Adventurous Career of the Copper
King of Mexico.
The man who owns the Cananea
mines in Mexico, where the race war
between Americans and Mexicans ragged
for several days, Is known as plain Bill
Greene in Arizona. New Workers call
him Col. Greene, but his truthful biog-
raphers write of him as William c..
Greene and refer to him as president
Of the Greene Consolidated Copper
Company. Few men have had careers
as adventurous as his. The East was
too slow for him as a youth, and he
went COW punching beyond the Mis-
souri,. That proved to De a rather mild
occupation in time, and so the dashing
and wide-awake youNgster organized
and led several voluntary expeditions
against the Apaches. Greene has as
many notches in his revolver as his
colleague, "BilP' Cody. He has been
tried for and acquitted of murder. He
is the largest land owner in the South
west, and probably there are few great
er landlords In the world He is worth
100000.
William Cornell Greene was born in
the Empire State in 1851, which makes
him 90. He received common school
education at Chippaqua, Westchester
County, and went to Arizona when he
was 16 years old. For three years he
worked for tea house, but ne was dis
satisfied and restless. He Jumped at
the chance to go out with the first sur
veying party of the Northern Pacific
Railroad. In 1870 he left the survey to
locate upon land where Fargo, capital
of South Dakota, was built. He took

turned home. He was arrested on the
charge of murder and was acquitted
by jury, which did not even leave the
jurors box.
The foreman of that jury now holds
$4,000 year job on Col. Greene's
Sierra Madre Sc Pacific Railroad. which
runs from Ell Paso $50 miles southwest
into Old Mexico. 1t is told that Greene
in l'ster years looked up every one of
the twelve men and made them comfort
able.
Col. Greene is prepossessing physical
IL. He Is tall, sinewy and bronzed. He
wears a mustache and his eyes twinkle
brightly. He is good talker and has
marvellous head for business. His for
tune was not made through sheer luck,
for he studied mining as a science. His
possessions include 100000 acres of
land, 100000 head Of cattle and some
Of the most productive mines in the
world

is called, "Suwanee River"), "Old
Black Joe," "Massa's In De Cold, Cold
Groun'," "Old Uncle Ned" "Oh, Susan
na," Nellie Bly," willie, We Have
Missed You,'' "Come Where My Love
Lies Dreaming" and hundred others
almost as well known. He practically
founded an American school of folk
music, and it is safe TO say that no 9TH
er mans works have been sung as often
by the American people as have Eos
ter's.
There Is another side to the plcture,
however, and it, to great extent, ex-
onerates the American people of the
charge of ingratitude. All of Fosters
misery was brought upon him by him
self. He was paid many thousands of
dollars for his songs and spent every
cent. He would write song in the
morning, sell it before noon to the first
bidder and at night again be pennlless.
The song which causes Kentucky to
honor him was written in memory OF a
visit to bis uncle, in Kentucky, Judge
John Rowan, who was also United
States Senator. How much money the
thousands Of copies that were sold
brought to the composer is not known,
but it must have been a considerable
omount. Foster made great deal CT
money. Shortly after his rame became
known, Christy, the famous negro min
strel, asked for a song that he could
sing before its publication. Foster had
just completed "Old Folks at Home"
and submitted it. Christy Immediately
offered $500 in cash to have his name
appear on the title page of the first edi-
ton only, and the composer accepted.
Later the song was published, and its
SUI cess was instantaneous. Foster re-
ceivsd from the publishers more than
$4,000 in royalties, the greatest sum
that. up to that time, any musical COM
position had ever earned in America
Foster had all the advantages that
any man could desire. His marriage,
in 1850. with Jane Jenny Mcdowell, the
daughter of one of Pittsburg's leading
physicians, bid fair to be an ideal one,
but his habits made it impossible of en-
durance and in ten years they had sep
arated and Foster went to New York.
He spent the last few miserable years
until the fall in his poor room In the
American House severed his thread Of
| life. And then in the morgue lay the
man whose songs had been sung by mil
lions and had even figured upon the pro-
grams of such artists as Jenny Lind
| and Nilsson.

was raking in his millions from them.
The organization of the Greene Consol
idated Copper Company was later de-
velopment
During his ramblings over plain anG
through mining camps, Bill" Greene
met with a variety of experiences. He
was in the Apache country when word
came that the "Injuns" were on the
rampage. The erstwhile tenderfoot got
the ''boys" together, and said Lets
after them" A whirlwind bunch of
human devils a-horse soon was on the
red mems trail The expedition was a
success, and the Apaches were good for
week or two. They ran amuck again
shortly, however, and Greene and his
COW punchers knocked off work a sec
ond time and had a hurrah time of it,
Then Bill Greene got married. With
a loyal wife and three or four curly
headed little Greenes, the prospector
settled near Tombstone. His cottage was
on mountainside, and one bright
morning a mining superintendent in
formed the lowly squatter that he In
tended to release the water from the
reservoir on the heights above. Greene
told the visitor that if this was done bis
cottage would be swept away. A tart
exchange of compliments ensued, end
the superintendent galloped away. Tha
reservoir was opened and sure enough
the Greene cottage was carried away
into the gulch. With it was little
tot, one of the pets of the family.
There was a funeral in day or two,
and after the baby was laid to rest Col
Greene reached for his rifle and went
scouting for certain man on the
mountain top. He got" him and re-
