3O,OOO ACRES IF
 FOREST BURN

DOUGLAS, July 11.-(Special)-
 Thirty thousand acres of forest land were swept by the great fire which recently ragged in the Chiricahuas Fortunately, though, the fire was con fined to a growth of oak and other timber that is not considered valua- ble. In successfully fighting the fire and keeping it out of the valuable pine timber an interstice in the forest forty feet wide and twelve miles in length was cut by the force of men who fought the advance of the fire for almost two weeks, which at one time numbered sixty. twenty-three of whom were Mexican laborers loaned by the Copper Queen smelter.
 This information was brought to Douglas by Supervisor McGlone who has returned to this. city after direct ing the fight against the fire during its last stages.
 Tt was one of the worst fires we have ever had to contend with" said the supervisor to an International American reporter this morning. "The greatest difficulty in successfully com batting the fire was the density of the undergrowth- It was so thick that we simply could not get into it to beat out the fire. In order to save the pine timber, therefore, we had to resort to the heroic means of cutting out a big gap in the path of the fire. After getting twenty-three men from the Copper Queen we managed to ac- compIish that task and in that man. ner prevented 8 big loss.

Jim Kinney Accepts Challenge of Tuck Potter for a $500
 Purse.

Bird Yost arrived in the city last night from the San simon Valley and announced that he is authorized by Jim Kinney to accept the challenge of Tuck Potter to run a four change relay race for $500 a side.
 The contest will be held at the park at Don Luis on July. 21, and as Kinney has the reputation of being the king of the COW punchers in this part oi the brush, it should attract a large crowd, for although the Kinney horses are supposed to be the best in the county for that class of work, the many friends of Potter are willing to bet their money that he will win the big prize when the two buckeroos meet.
 All of the cowboys from the Sul. phur Spring and San Simon valleys will be in the city on the day of the race, and it is planned by the manage ment of the contest to have a grand potlash and hoedown at the park in Don Luis on that day

EPES RANDOLPH TALKS ABOUT
 PROSPERITY
Tells Los Angeles Newspaper of the Remarkable Progress Being Made in This Section of Great Southwest.

In an interview in . Los Angeles
 paper Colonel Epes Randolph tells of
 the prosperity of the southwest. The | interview is as follows:
 Colonel Epes Randolph's home ad-
 dress is Tucson, but he really halls from every part of the great south west, where things are being done, and he actually resides in a Pullman
 car that may be anywhere between | the Pacific ocean and the Rio Grande.
 For a few days Colonel Randolph has been in Los Angeles, conferring with
 men associated with him in various enterprises of improvement in Cali
 fornia, Arizona and New Mexico es- pecially with the engineers of the Cal ifornia Development company, con cerning the work in Imperial valley | that is to follow the successful effort to control the Colorado river.
 Colonel Randolph is satisfied that the protective work at the lower head 1 ing and the levee down the PaEedones {. having stood the test of great June 1 rise, are entirely secure and justify 1 the confidence felt by the Imperial
 settlers in the safety Of their irriga- | ton system. We are building a large Hume across the gorge cut by the runaway river said Colonel Randolph yester- | day, and will be able soon to deliver
 water to that part of the valley which was cut off from the canals. Engi- neers Cory and Herman are making careful surveys for a complete and | substantial system of irrigation works for the valley and | hear reports of activity and improved business con
 ditions throughout the Imperial val ! ley.
 "Tn fact there is activity every
 where, in the southwest The rail- | roads are doing p per cent more business than ever before ani they are going ahead with extensions and improvements Down in Sonora we
 have extended the railway 160 miles
 out of Guaymas through the Yaqui I valley and are pushing southward to- | ward the Rio Mayo to open up a stretch of 500 miles of splendid agri-
 cultural and mineral territory Northern Mexico is humming
 with enterprise and prosperity and the mountains are full of American i prospectors, who will open up the l best mineral region in the world. Arizona is as busy as a beehive
 and her mines wifi produce 40 per
 cent more metal this year than ever | before.
 "Tn view of the unabated activity | and prosperity evident everywhere continued Colonel Randolph, it is
 rather strange to hear talk in Los
 Angeles of tight money and a falling off of business. I don't hear that talk in Arizona CT Mexico.
 Down south the old darlsies think
 they will die if they hear the devil bird which is the screech owl and
 when the owl screeches they get
