j. N. Porter, president of the First
National bank and one of the largest
cattle owners in the territory, has
leased from tho government the "trip
of federal land extending from the
C.ila river at San Carlos to Geronimo.
The range which Mr.. Porter has leas-
ed from the government is one of the
finest in the southwest, con tanning an
abundance of water and is thirty miles
long by twenty miles wide. Mr.. Porter
has thousands of head of cattle. most
of which are in the Eagle creek coun-
| try, and these will be sent down to
the new range-Silver Belt.
Arizonans are just as quick to re-
sent the welding of the "big stick"
over their heads by the national re-
publican administration as are the
people of any other section of the
Union. This was shown in the fight
against joint statehood. 1t was also
shown in the passage of the Grand
Canyon Bright Angel trial bill over
Governor Kibbey's veto, which veto
was grown in the SHADOW cast by Il 9
'big stick" welded by Secretary
Hitchcock. Arizonans hit back and
hit back quickly when they think
their rights are being trodden upon. -

Mormon farmers are establishing a
new colony in the Sulphur Springs
valley, which means that there will
be thousands of acres in that rich re-
gion brought under cultivation. to
supply that mining section with the
products of the soil at q much less cost
than now. Wherever the Mormons
plant colonies the desert is made to
give forth it's wealth resources in the
soil. They are good farmers and know
the value of an acre of land under
proper cultivation. Cochise county
will be fortunate in having more of
these people to augment it's citizen
ship, for the farmers of the United
States are the bulwark of the republic.

The fact that one hundred cars of
ore we're hauled by the E. P. & s. w.
railroad last week from Bisbee shows
that the labor troubles in the mining
camp have not SO far prevented the
output of ore in sufficient quantities to
retard production at the smelters in
Bisbee. One day the regular ore train
brought sixty cars and in the after
noon there was specisl train of forty
cars, all loaded with ore, except two
or three oil tank cars. During the
last week the western division of the
South estern delivered to the eastern
division more than five hundred empty
cars which had been held on the
various sdings between Douglas and
Ell Paso. These empty cars were
handled in addition to the regular
husiness.-Review
