TO REGULATE GRAZING.
Arizona Stockmen vItaliy Interested h Senate Bli No. 55il. Now Pend
 lns in Congress.

eSJ pl SIOChiiiSii anu oS1eiSAo, oSiiosS bill 5511, providing for the regula- tion and control of grazing on all public lands. This bill is the out growth of the work of the presi- dents special land committee, ap- pointed three years ago and consist ing of Messrs. Pinchot, U. s. for ester, Newell, U. s. reclamation service, and Richards, receiver of the general land office, and with some notifications is quite likely to be enacted into law in the near future.
 This bill before being introduced was referred to the committee on forest reserves and grazing lands of the American National Live Stock Association, consisting of H. A. Jastro, chairman, of Cal; E. S. Gosney, of Ariz.; Gov. F. w. Gooding, of Idaho; E. M. Ammons, of Colo. Ora Healy, of Wyoming; Wm. Hanley, of Oregon; Al. Har- rell, of Nevada.
 The prelimanry report of this committee to Secretary Tomlinson of said association is also published and explains itself. There will doubtless be much diversity of opin- ion on this subject. There is no bill now before congress of such importance to the stock men and home builders of the west, and it is time the smaller owners as well as the large ones should begin to study this question and its possible results.
 The text of the bill is as follows ::
 A BILL
 Providing for the control of graz ing lands in the arid states and territories of the United States.
 Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in con gress assembled, that the president of the United States wi t h the consent of the governor of the state or territory affected, is hereby au- thorized to establish by proclama- tion, grazing districts upon the public lands of the United States.
 Thereupon the secretary of agri- culture shall have charge of such grazing districts, appoint all off cers necessary for their administra- tion and protection, and all local officers shall be appointed from the qualified electors of the states or territories in which such districts are respectively situated, regulate their use for grazing purposes, re- store and improve their grazing value and issue permits to graZe stock thereon under rules and reg ulations prescribed by him, classify all public lands in said grazing districts as agricultural or grazing and publish lists thereof, appraise the grazing value of the land in each locality and charge and collect reasonable fees for grazing permits, and prescribe regulations for the administration and improvement of each grazing district.
 Sec. 2. That lands so classified as agricultural shall be occupied for grazing purposes under annual or season permits only and shall be continually subject to disposi- tion under the public land laws Lands so classified as grazing shall be occupied under permits for pc riods of not more than ten years

 ing or town site laws: provided, that all land shall be subject to re- classification at the termination of any permit period; and provided that public land adjacent to land reclaimed or to be reclaimed as separate grazing districts and set tiers upon such land reclaimed shall have a preference right to the use thereof for grazing purposes under the terms of this act; and provided further, that all mineral lands which have been or which may be shown to be such and subject to entry under existing mining laws of the United States and the rules and regulations applying thereto shall continue to be subject to such location and entry.
 Sec. 8. That the jurisdiction, both civil and criminal, over per sons within such grazing districts shall not be affected or changed by reason of the existence thereof except so far as the punishment of offenses against the United States therein is concerned, and nothing herein shall be construed as pro- hibiting settlers, prospectors, and others from entering upon such grazing districts for all proper and lawful purposes, including the use and enjoyment of their rights and property, and prospecting, locating and developing the mineral resour- ces of such districts and such wagon roads or improvements as may be constructed thereon in accordance with the laws of the respective state or territories or under regulations of the secretary of agriculture, as may be necessary for such purposes ] Sec. 4. That settlers residing within the exterior boundaries oi such grazing districts or in the vicinity thereof may occupy, un' der permit from the secretary ot agriculture, any part of said graz, ing districts necessary for school houses, churches, and state or coun, ty buildings. and after such permit has been granted the land shall be listed in the local land office anC shall not be subject to appropria. tion under the public land laws during such time. All waters or such grazing district may be useC for domestic, mining, milling, oi irrigation purposes un der the laws of the state or territory whei e in such grazing districts are situat ed or under the laws of the United States and rules regulations esta blished hereunder.
 Sec. ,. That the secretary of agri culture shall fix date which shal not be less than one year from tn, establishment of each grazing dis trict, and after such date it shal be unlawful to pasture any class of live stock thereon without { grazing permit; and violation o. the provisions of this section shal be deemed misdemeanor, pun ishable by fine of not less thar ten dollars nor more than on' thousand dollars, or by imprison ment for not less than ten days nol more than one year, or both sucl fine and imprisonment, in tn, discretion of the court.

addition to the product of the Barakar
works During the year 1903 and 1904
the iron and steel imports including
railroad materials, were 554S06 and &c.,
305 tons respectively.
The report of Messrs. Perrin and Weld
proceeds to show the cost at which iron
and steel can be made in India and they
express the belief that under these con-
ditions a very large trade can be done
with the Orient.

Calcutta Delivery of raw materials for
iron at the furnace have been estimated
to be: For iron ore, 70 cents per ton: for
coke, $1.14 per ton; for fluX, $215 per ton.
Taking these figures as a basis OF calcu-
laton, it has been shown that the
amount of materials necessary to pro-
duce one ton of pig according to the requi-
site proportions Is as follows:
l.6f tons or ore ..........................Sl .22

Comparing the cost of raw assembled al
SIM with the cost of raw material as
sembled in various iron-making districts
in the United States. the report shows as
follows:
Plttsburg, $3.50 per ton. with $3.50 freight
to seaboard; Buffalo, $715 per ton. with rs
cents freight by canal to seaboard; Spar
rows Point, $50, on the seaboard. SIM,
$3.72 per ton III miles by rail from CAL
cutta. These figures are the cost OF ma
terials only; the cost of labor as esti-
mated being $1.3O per ton, with the addi-
tional cost of $1.00 per ton for all other
expenses.
The total estimated tonnage of iron
ore in the Gurumaishini Hill locality is
100000 tons, and many other deposits
have been found in the vicinity. while
the coal deposits are estimated at about
S0,0O0,000 tons.

A Remarkable Paper.

A paper that will withstand fire, water,
sfeet, rain and snow, was called to my
attention recently at the office of the
Birmingham Supply company on
Eighteenth street This paper is called
the "Vulcanite Roofing paper. Through
the courtesy of the manager, l learned
many things concerning this wonderful
composition. In the manufacture of the
Vulcanite, especial attention is given to
component parts, and the finished pro-
duct is so perfect that the fire insur-
ance companies have allowed the same
rate of insurance on not only the and 3
ply patterns, but 1t was stated on the
ply, as well, which is not generally the
case with the composition roofings man
ufactured in this country, as they do on
metal roofs. This is really remarkable,
when you sonsider the fact that it is
in reality a heavy sheet of paper, chemi
cally treated.
The company is in possession of many
flattering letters relative to the merits
of their product. as well as many inter-
esting photographs.

Scarcity of Timber.

Not so very many years ago, the ter
ritory surrounding Birmingham abounded
IN valuable timber. Today 1t Is ques-
tionable whether or not timber of any
description sufficiently valuable enough
to warrants its being taken from the
stump could be found.
Mr. Minor of the firm of Clark & Minor
told me recently that 1t was almost Inn
possible to obtain choice timber tim
Der lands. He said: Il have never in
my life seen conditions along the timber
line as they are now, particularly around
Birmingham. While we do a general
real estate business. we make a speciality
of timber lands, and from close observa-
ton, know whereof l speak The condi-
lions that exist in the district, however,
are not universal. While timber is more
or less scarce all over, 1t Is more plenti-
full in the southern part of the state
where there are not so many mines, etc.
To my mind 1t will not be long before
choice timber is at a very high premium"
