After Cochise County
 Land vioIators

|. Special Agent Frank Thompson, ol !. the United States Land Office, is in the city and will remain several days
 Mir. Thompsou is working under the
 directions of Fred c. Dezendorf, who
 is in charge of the district of Arizona
 and New Mexico and, who at the
 present time is making a thorough
 investigation of the land entries that
 have been made in Cochise county for
 the past few years. The investigation
 is being made not only into the | agricultural land that has been filed upon by the citizens of the county,
 but into the location and pstenting of
 many mining claims that have been
 taken up by the big compa ,ies in the county. Mir. Dezendorf and Mir Thompson have both been at work in
 Bisbee for the past ten days collecting data, and MT. Thompson is now here for the purpose of searching the rec crds in the recorders office. while Mir. Dezendorf has returned to his head. quarters at Santa Fc, N. M., and may return here.shortly to help in the in vestigation. Both gentlemen are very reticent and will not give out any in- formation. They are under the direc- ton of the Secretary of the Interior Allen Hitchcock.
 Sometime last year, about the mid dle of July or August, a similar in vestigstion was started in this county, a special agent, named Carson, being sent here from Phoenix by the su- thorities at Washington to make an examination and report OF a number of mineral applications that were be- ing made at that time by several of big mining companies in the Warren district. He spent several weeks here in going over the records, and at the time was somewhat wrought up be- cause the nature of bis business here leaked out and the newspapers got hold of it. He was recalled from here suddenly by telegraph before he had completed his work and the general surmise now prevails that the work he started is being finished up by Messrs. Thompson and Dezendoh.
 The outcome of the investigation will be watched with interest. These gentlemen recently uncovered . num- Der of frauds in the filing of coal lands in New Mexico and now have parties in that territory under indict- ment for the same.

No Toy Pistols
 For Mexico

The Mexican government has had considerable trouble with the Yaquis for many years, and every precaution has been taken to stop them from se- curing any firearms but it has not always been successful. As a last resort the ofhcia's have issued an or. der prohibiting the importation of firearms of any description into Mex ice, and in order to assure them that none are going in through the mails, the customs officials have exerted
 more than usual care in inspecting all packages from the United States.
 The other day, however, A man from Hermosillo, having business in St.
 Louis, purchased some tops for his children and sent them by mail to , them. Upon receipt of the package
 in Nogales, Sonora, the customs in-
 spector opened it and, finding two
 email toy pistols, suitable for children and of very cheap construction. seized them and returned them to the house they were ordered from.

Cooper Will Sell At
 20 Gents All This Year

Senator William A. Clark and MT. Daniel Guggenheim predict that cop per prices will be maintained above 70 cents throughout 1907 and both be- lieye that no very great increase in prod uction can be looked for. Senator Clark says:
 "The beginning of the new year has found the copper markets near y hare of the metal beyond the ordinary nec- essary stocks and there is little prospect in the near future of any material decrease in the present demand.
 "The work.of electriiying the steam railroads of the country is progress ing faster than anticipated, and here alone is . pe~ and vastly growing market for copper. Substitutes have been found unsatisfactory.
 "It is quite probable that we will | not see copper below . minimum o sI cents per pound during the veal I9O7."

Philips will not deny the efficacy oi the juvenile courts of Denver. Chi csgo and Los Angeles, and if so much of benefit can be gsned by wise and COL siderate administration of the law in those p aces who will doubt that we can profit by their example and do good for our own children, even though our sphere be less extensive.
 As to my suggestion that iD coun- ties of the class of Ccchise that the jurisdiction of the juvenile court be placed in the probate court, and that the court have power to hold sessions at places other than the county seat, that suggestion was only made be- cause of the great expense to pa rents and witnesses in travelling to thea county set and the necessity of confning children in the common jail between the time of arrest and examination, and the fur ther consideration of the fact that the Court would be nearer to the children and could keep a mere perfect super vision over them and those charged with their care and guidance.
 It is a small matter where the jur- isdiction of such court is placed, the people of the Territory, and par ticularly the mothers realise it's neces- sity and advantages.
 My letter to Judge Philips was written at the suggestion of Mir. St Claire of the H. H. McNeil Co.,, of Phoenix and so stated in my letter % him. Had Judge Philips. in his 'outh received instruction from a nan of the character and stamp of ,ur friend Mir. Mshoney of the In lustrial School at Benson, he would | nave answered letter written at the ,ehest of common friend personally, Respectfully,

Large Profit in
 Sheep Raising
he reming Crap hic says

The reming Crap hic says
 Money invested in sheep will nearly double itself in one year. since the fleece will pay for the feed and care of the sheep, and the lambs, often two per eve, are tke profit. It is estimat- ed that you can keep ten sheep where you keep one COW, and the risk becomes much less. The sheep always carries her pocketbook with her. Ii she dies, her pelt offleece pays funeral expenses '. Ii she lives, her wool in the spring and her lambs in the fall pay double revenue. No other stock pays as large a percentage of clear profit on money invested,

by the council after Mr.. Hewitt made
the following statement:
II present herewith draft of an or
dinance regulating the sale OF Ice and
certain other commodities.
Public attention has recently been
drawn to short weight sale and deliveries
of Ice in this city.
1.-THE mayor has recently handed. me a
report l. ade to him by the city sealer
of weights and measures of his investi-
cation of this matter, and the disclos-
ures made by the report of that officer
are sufficient, in my opinion, to Justify
the conclusion that an extensive and sys-
tematic practice Of short weight delivery
of Ice has been practiced.
"A remedy is needed to put stop
thereto, and existing laws do not appear
to cover the point adequately / there
fore place the ordnance herewith sub
mitted before you for your consideration.
IT have taken the liberty of including
such articles as wood coal. hay and
other like commodities in the ordinance,
for the reason that while my attention
has not been directly called to any bad

Since the law authorizing the appoint
ment of fire wafdens MAKES no appro-
priation from which they can be paid,
the majority of these men are either
serving voluntarily or are paid by their
| employers. The remainder are paid for
services actually rendered in preventing
or extinguishing fires by the county in
which the fire occurs. This Is the case
in the following counties, of which the
supervisors have taken advantage of the
amendment to the county government
act, which permits them to appropriate
from the general fund of the county for
the purpose: Fresno, Kern, Los Angeles,
Riverside, San Bernardino, Santa Clara,
Santa Cruz, San Diego, Tuolumne, Tu-
lare.
The supervisors of these counties have
appropriated sums ranging from $500 to
$500 for fire protection and have either
increased the salary Of the game war
den and made him chief fire warden.
with emergency fire wardens, who are
paid for services actually rendered, or
have depended entirely on the Litter.
Either system is good so long as there
are men distributed throughout the coun-
ty who are paid to prevent and extin-
gish fires, and speaks well for the pro-
gressive spirit of the counties that have
accepted this duty. The state forester
invites proposals from county govern
ments, corporations and individuals for
cooperation under these laws.
Circulars containing the forest laws
and fire warning notices or posting will
be mailed free to any address on applica-
ton to G. B. Lull, state forester. Sac
