Agents in Tombstone to Investigate
Probable Land Frauds.

For some time past the government
has been making an investigation of
the land frauds throughout the west,
and it has resulted in number of
parties being sent to prison on ac-
count of their connection Herewith.
Most of the convictions so far have
been in Oregon and California.
! Reports have been current for some
time that the interior department
expected to begin some inyestiga-
tions in Arizona, and it now looks as
though the report was correct.
Yesterday morning there arrived
in Tombstone a man who registered
at Arcade as coming from Phoenix.
Immediately after his arrival here
he went to the recorders Office,
where he spent the entire day in look
ing up the records of the land pat
ents and the deeds concerning them,
and making memorandums of the
names of the parties in whose names
the land has been entered. He di-
rected his attention especially to the
entries that have been made by a
number of corporations during the
past few years.
1t is said the investigation will not
end here, but that the officers will
visit the lands in question, gathering
data regarding the character of the
filings and of the soil, to determine
whether it is mineral bearing ground,
or more suitable for agriculture. He
expects to spend some time in the
vicinity of Bisbee and Naco, looking
over the vast amount of entries that
have been made in that region dur
ing the past few years.
Whether or not he will find any
Irregularities in the filings remains to
be seen, and it is doubtful if anything
will be heard until the matter has
been brought to the attention of the
US. attorney, and then before the
United States grand juay. Pros

At the Copper Queen smelter the
prodution for April will be a record
breaker, says the Bisbee Review
This plant is being gradually in
creased in capacity and from seven
furnaces are now turned out copper
at the rate of 14O tons per day
which will give an output of
about 8,75O,OOO pounds per month.
During the last several months the |
output of the Copper Queen has been
in the neighborhood of 1900, 900 |
pounds, as it has always been OBJ
served that the management pre-
ferred to make their estimates low
rather than high. The enlargement
of the Copper Queen plant is proceed
ing steadily, and the furnaces
already definitely planned to be in
stalled as fast as possible will add an
additional capacity of eight hundred
tons monthly before the end of the
year. At the C. &. A. smelter pro-
duction continues at about the same
rate as had been given out since the
of furnace No. 2. 1t is
that April will go over the
average production of last month,
which was little short of 1000, 900
pounds. Work is proceeding well on
furnace No. 4, and it is expected that
it will be ready to put into commission
about the first of May. The grade
of ore being treated by the Calumet
& Arizona is understood to be consid-
cradle higher than that fed to the
furnaces of the Copper Queen, which
accounts for the greater production
to the capacity of the furnaces en-
ployed.

To Reclaim The Plains.

New Mexico seems to be coming
into its own after many years of
waiting. Report says that new set
tiers are going into that territory at
the rate of 5000 a month, that they
are taking up government land, and
that they expect to farm it by the
Campbell process.
In this there are vast possibilities
The plains region of the eastern part
of New Mexico presents much the
same climatic conditions as the east
ern part of this state. The rain
comes in the growing months of
spring and summer, and the amount
of precipitation does not differ
greatly from that j. this vicinity.
The obstacles lie in the fact that
under the greater heat of the more
southern latitude, relative more
precipitation may be required than
here. Apart from this consideration
if the plains of eastern Colorado can
be reclaimed by the Campbell system
or by any other method of dry farm
ing, the corresponding part of New
Mexico also should be a region of
successful agriculture by the same
means. In any event, the new people
who are going into the territory will
test these things, and even though
they may fail in one line of effort, a
large percentage of them will
remain in the country to reclaim it
and build it up in other ways

Highest Court the Only Hope.

Unless an appeal is taken to the
supreme court of the United States,
Pima county taxpayers will have to
make good S318,OOO to the holders of
the narrow gauge bonds.
No alternative is offered. The
board of supervisors has been man.
damused to levy tax to raise this
sum and if they fail to do so they
will be in contempt of the territorial
supreme court. This in effect, was
the decision handed down by the su-
preme court of the territery at it's
session last week.
The narrow gauge bonds originally
were $l5O,0OO. The interest on the
bonds amounts to more than the
principal and the combined principal
and interest is $685. 900.
For the payment of this sum Pima
county gets nothing in return.
The history of the narrow gauge
bonds is one of the black pages in
Pima county's record. The road was
constructed for a distance of ten
miles by unscrupulous promoters
whose interest ceased as soon as they
had disposed of the bonds and pock-
eted the money.
The Yaquis have threatened the
life of Governor Rafael Yzabal of So

the Yaquis have threatened to take
the life of those whom they dislike,
and they lay for their victim until
they get chance to assassinate him.

Three years ago when Sam Gibson
and Tip Henderson began work on
the Gibson mine situated on the di-
vide between Pinto and Mineral
Creeks, very few people looked for
the results that have developed.
The ground, previous to Henderson's
getting it, had been prospected by
prominent mining men and by them
pronounced worthless, but in the
hands of the present owners it has
paid from the start. The mine is
opened to a depth of 300 feet only,
but a half million dollars worth of
ore has been taken out and shipped,
and there is more ore in sight than
ever before. The ore is sulpide,
the shipping grade assaying over 30
per cent copper. A new stope of
chalcopyrite ore, 80 feet wide, has
lately been opened. All the ore from
the Gibson mine goes to the Old Do
minion smelter, the company paying
the highest price for it. There are
several thousand tons of ore on the
Gibson dumps that runs 8 to II per-
cent copper, and Messrs, Gibson and
Henderson are now planning the
erection of a concentrator to treat
this product.-Belt.

Development work in the Jerome
district generally is progressing with
out Interruption, and with satisfac-
tory results on those properties that
are doing legitimate mining. The
past week was made interesting by
the bonding of the Royal Irish group
of claims, located just north of the
United Verde company's group, on
which there is now being sunk 1000
foot shaft. The Royal Irish group
is owned by Harrington and Sullivan
and was bonded to Texas people for
100000. A payment of $4,000 is to
be made in ninety days.

The price of copper is lowering in
the neighborhood of twenty cents per
pound. There is more copper in
sight in Arizona today than ever be-
fore. In every copper camp the
mines are being crowed to utmost
limit with miners. The copper mines
of Arizona are sufficient to insure
the prosperity of this territory.

G. A Elliott, a Southern Pacfic en-
gineer, found all sorts of trouble near
Benson one day last week. East of
Benson about three miles, and near
Vischnaga, he successfully manipu-
lated a side-swipe which overturned
two carloads of oranges which he
was earring. An hour later another
train sweeping by discovered that
the ball of the rails had been
trimmed. The second crew made
this interesting discovery when two
of their cars of oranges toppled over
on top of the first two cars. Elliot It's
train meanwhile proceeded west.
When just a mile west of Benson
Elliott's engine performed a graceful
yet embarrassing somersault at an
angle calculated to discourage any
further progress. 1t had the good
grace to roll out of the way, just as
the fruit cars had done, and Elliott
believes he is entitled to great cedit
for causing three wrecks in one day
without seriously delaying any other
train than his own.
Nobody was injured.

To Admit All Prosecuted Jews

Washington, March 2O.-A joint reso-
luton was introduced in the house by
Representative Bennett of New York, di-
recting President Roosevelt to waive all
restrictions upon Jewish people Of Rus
sia, who apply for admission to the
United States, if, upon investigation, it
is shown that the Russian officials shoot
down all Jews who leave for the purpose
of immigrating to the United States and
then return to Russia
Representative Bennett was moved to
take this action by cablegram from
Europe telling of the killing Of Russian
Jews who were forced to turn back to
Russia, as they were unable to pass the
educational tests or were physically
unfit to gain admittance to the United
States. The reports are that these I'M
fortunates were shot down wherever
they returned to Russia.

reports are now published in the news

have the greatest massacre OF Jews IN

Adolph kraus to Count Witte

Excellency-You will doubtless remem-
ber the interview held in Portsmouth
between yourself, Messrs Schiff, Selig-
man, Strauss, Levisohn and others. And
when in the City of New York three Of
us bid you safe return to your home,
you stated that we might write you at
any time on the subject of our previous
discussion. Accordingly 1 now avail
myself of the permission so kindly
given
Is is useless to dwell at any length on
the terrible massacres Of Jews in Rus
sia, for the details are much better
known to you than to me. Your excel
lency will perhaps remember my sug-
gestion that if those who so wantonly
massacred the Jews, or aided and
abetted in the murders, were swiftly and
adequately punished it would be such
warning to others, and such a clear
declaration as to the position Of the
government as would tend to diminish
greatly the probability Of a repetition of
the horrors That we have not read of
any strong measures taken to punish the
perpetrators of the late crimes may be
due to the fact that the government felt
it's first duty was to subdue the riots, or
it may be due to insufficiency Of the in
formation which the press has been able
to obtain. But whatever the cause, the
fact has caused widespread alarm in
this country that the massacre Of Jews
in Russia is to continue, and the opin-
ion is becoming prevalent that no Jews
life is safe in that great country. AS a
result of the growing opinion that if the
lives and property of Jews are not to
be safeguarded in the land in which
their ancestors have lived for genera
tions, and Of which your excellency is
Prime minister, a movement is being
seriously contemplated, if it can be ac-
complished according to law, for the re-
moval of the Jews from Russia, or at
least as many as possible, to other lands
where they will be permitted to die
natural death. If the plans for such
movement are put into effect the socie-
ty, over which I preside, will take an
active part. The immensely of such an
undertaking is fully realized and it
should be executed only as a last resort.
I am therefore emboldened to address
myself to you for the information upon
which our action may depend, if it will
be deemed proper in your excellency's
judgment that such information should
be given, and it is this Now, since it
appears that the government has re-
stored peace in its land, is the govern
ment in position to protect the lives and

Monaghan Race Has Made Little Ad-
vance in Centuries.
Samoyeds, a race of M~ongolians in
habitlng the shores of the Arctic
ocean, maintain themselves by hunt
ing and fishing. They make use of
the same implements in bone and
stone, besides cherishing the same SUI
perstitions, as were current in the
stone age among the Inhabitants of
western Europe. They clothe them
selves in reindeer skins. In fine wealth
er they wear the hair outside, and
when it is wet the tunic is reversed.
This interesting race is gradually dy-
ing out, owing partly to the scourge
of smallpox which makes ravages
among them. and also to their fond
ness for raw spirits, which leads them
to degradation and misery, as the Rus
sian merchants take advantage of this
to cheat them when bartering for val
liable skins and walrus teeth. In
fact, to such an extent do these trad
ers dupe them that the Samoyeds
sometimes are reduced to a state of
famine and have to cannibal-
ism. This seems to account for the
name Samoyed, which was given them
by the Russians, and which signifies
in their language ~self-eating. Every
year in mid-Lent these qu~eer-looking
people ira vel down in their reindeer
sledSes from Archangel to st. Peters
burg and take up their abode tempo
rarily on the frozen river Neva, where
they build themselves circular huts
composed of a framework of poles,
over which are stretched reindeer
skins. Here they traffic for the prod
ucts of civilization.
