 It is alleged by the government that ths lands in question were secured by the defendants from the board of pub lie lands of the Territory by fraudu. lent means. and that the Territorial officials and the defendants were both aware that the transaction was made in violation of the provisions of the act of Congress granting public lands 10 the Territory, and providing for the sale of such public lands for the ben eft of Territorial institutions.
 it is asked that the defendants be enjoined from further cutting timber off the lands. and that they be com pelled to reimburse the Territory for the value of timber already taken from the tracts
 It Is alleged that W. s IIopewcll n. agent of William II. Andrews, pre.i- dent of the Santa Fe Central Railway company, and the two companies, uc- gotiated the purchase of the lands for the defendants.

PLAN BIO PLACER OPERATIONS
 SOON.
(From Sundays Daily.)

W. \. Bon1uran,, president of the Flour Gold Placer Mining company, has arrived in Phoenix from Los Angeles, according to th, Republican, on brsi. ness connected with the Arizona Placer company's properties, on Blind Indian creek, d tributary of the famous Hassayampa rivor, in this county.
 Tho Arizona Placer company has but recently been organized, and is com posed chiefly ct !. ]. Casey, a cousin of Mir. Bondurant, from Bloomington. N. C. Douglas, A. R. Jones and Harry Jones of Independence, Kan, George F.. Allen and W. il. Baldwin of Del were, H., togethef with Mir. Bondursnt, who negotiated the deal for the com. pany's property, which embraces some 2,ooO acres, the store at wagoner, the townsite and other land thereabouts. Mir Bondurant will be in charge of op. erations as vice president and general manager.
 Experts, in company with the east ern gentlemen who are interested with Mr. Bondurant, have been over the claims, recently, and pronounce that the ground will run aigh in gold and that the proposition Is dead cinch. The company plans to build Hume of wood and metal from dam on a branch of the Blind Indian, carrying the water across one stretch of placer ground and then turn it into another branch. Below this poin, another dam will be built and the water stored and carried over into Sellar Basin, where another tract of placer ground will be worked. Thus the same water will he made to do double service. It is quite an ingenious engineering feat, and will entail considerable expense for preliminary work, but wacn finish led will be simple enough.

 LINE
(From Tuesday's Daily

After allowing it to browse and grow for three years since he first saw it. John !, Jackson shot and killed n white male deer in Copper Basia, Sunday morning, which k considered to be one of the greatest curiosi,ies of the deer species ever seen here. The buck was n four.prongcd one, weighing 1ig pounds. It is on exhibition in the display window of local meat mar kct, and was admired by many, all day yesterday.
 MT. Jackson presented the deer eur. iosity to Bob Brow. who was with him on the hunt. and who will have ii mounted and added to many fauna and flora curiosities in the Palace.
 The deer was shot abou, a mile and n half south of Jackson's camp. IIe mad seen it from time to time during the past three years and always re. trained from shooting it until Sunday morning, when he went in search of it, fearing that some other hunter might bag il. Mfr Jackson also shot Q blue deer, Saturday evening. Although he considered the blue buck a curiosity. he did not bring it to the city. He will have its peit mounted, also.
 Quail Season Opens.
 Today, the quail season opens, and. according to the opinion of old resi-. dents, the birds were never as plen,,- ful since the occupation of this part of the Territory by Americans. From the Verde Valley to the Colorado river flock after flock is ready to test the craftsmanship of the sportsman. and the expert shot can easily kill the limit in less than m hour in many of tho districts.
 <. F., r. & P. trainmen state that inc birds are especially plentiful in tine Date Creek section, as we'll as in Skull and Kirkland valleys, and in the Big Bug distirct, together with the Agua Fria and other valleys. Four brood, grew this year. The older birds raised three and the first brood of the season raised another flock in the summer. The limit allowed by statute to bc shot by one person in n day is twenty. five.
