The Bright Angel Trail.

The board of supervisors of Co., conino county is struggling with another phase of the Bright Angel trail No secret was made of the fact that while the so-called Cam eron bill was pending in the legis lature that if the bill should be- come law the board would enter into a contract with MT. Cameron, leasing the trail to him or his rep resentative for a term of years Under the terms of the bill the county should receive a minimum certain per cent of the gross re- ceipts for toll.
 Day before yesterday c. A. Brant, manager of the Fl Tovar hotel at the Grand Canyon, filed with the board a proposal to pay the county seventy per cent. of the tolls collected for a term of five years and he offered a bond of $5. .OO0 for the faithful performance of his contract.
 It had been understood that the board was about to enter into a contract with MT. Cameron whereby the county should receive ten per cent. only of the receipts. The board was to take action in the matter yesterday, but probab bly, in consequence of the proposal of Mir. Brant it did not do so, but put the whole matter over 10 April IT. It is now uncertain what the su- pervisors will do about it, though it is estimated that Brant's pro- posal will give the county about $4,OOOa year.-Republican, Apr 13.

Cowboy Ropes Lion

Roping mountain lions without having gun of any kind to use after the monarch of beasts has been caught is rather a dangerous business, but John Gilland, whose ia mily resides in Phoenix. caught one on the Sierra ranch, thirty miles above Roosevelt, with nothing more than his lariat, faithfu! bloodhound and his cowpony.
 The Republican says Gilland was riding after cattle some dis. tance from the ranch house when his hound scared up mountain lion. The lion fled. With a fifty foot lariat, Gilland threw the moose over the lions head and brought the beast to a sudden stop.
 Up to this time the lion had shown no desire to fight, but when stopped by the rope he turned back toward Gilland and his horse. But for Gilland's good luck the lion might be still at large and Gilland badly chewed up.
 Instead of coming directly toward Gilland. the lion circled, and in doing so passed around a small tree at full speed, paving the air and growing. Gilland jumped from his horse and fastened his end of the rope to another tree.
 The harder the lion tried to get at Gilland the tighter he drew the moose about his neck, until he choked to death. Gilland's blood hound was bent on fighting the lion, and before the beast had died the dog had almost been killed by it's sharp claws.
 Gilland skinned the lion and has the pelt as trophy. It is said the beast was one of the largest ever seen in that part of the country. For several months it has been killing calves, often attacking large COW when hungry. It was sleek and fat when killed.

Mrs. Sage Helps an Arizona Convict

Down in Yuma. shut in with many other prisoners, by the bare brick walls of the territorial penitentiary, is Lee Miller, a con vict. who, when his term expires, will emerge with his life ambition gratified, thanks to the generosity of Mrs. Russell Sage.
 Miller. in 1879, was incarcerated in the Bisbee jail, awaiting trial on the charge of forgery. Confined with him were James Parker and the latter's companions, who had held up a Santa Fe train. One night, led by Parker, all escaped. An attempt by Lee Norris, a clerk in the court house, to stop the jail breakers, resulted in his being shot to death by Parker. The jail breakers made good their escape for the time being but were eventually recaptured. Parker was hanged and Miller was given life sen tence. This sentence was after wards commuted to twelve years imprisonment by ex Governor N. Oakes Murphy.
 Miller's great ambition was to become a civil engineer, and dur ing the time he has been confined in the penitentiary he has thorough ly studied to fit himself for this profession. A letter to the wife of the now deceased millionaire, Rus sell Sage. interested her, and she sent the prisoner, who will be released in another two years, a full set of engineers instruments, SO that Miller, when he emerges from his confinement, will be in a position to take up immediately his chosen profession.

New Ruling for Insane Asylum.

With a view of reducing to a minimum the number of patients committed to the territorial asylum for the insane near Phoenix from the different counties in future, Dr. Ray Ferguson, superintendent of that institution. has issued a circu lar letter to all probate judges in the territory. of which the follow ing is a part:
 "Section 1 makes it necessary for two physicians to examine and certify to the lunacy of a person before the commitment is valid.
 "Section 8 empowers the board of control to adopt forms of con- mitment and to regulate the ad- missions to the asylum"
 The board has acted on this by adopting the present form of com mitment blank, wherein the exam ming physicians are made to cer- tify that the case is not one of idiocy, imbecility, simple feeble ness of mind or delirium tremens. the rule being that the above are not proper cases for treatment at this institution.
 Section 3 further states "that no person not complying with the rules and regulations prescribed by the board shall be received into said asylum or be permitted to remain therein"
 Dr. Ferguson further states that the sections named are being disre- garded by the probate courts of va rious counties, and respectfully re- quests that in future the matter be given more careful attention.

cHEAPNEss OF THE sILo.

Editor The Ranch: l notice you
have published Hoard's article "Con-
corning the Silo." The article is a
good one and l fully agree as to the
value of the silo, but do not agree as
to the value of the machinery for fill
ing. How many farms of western
Washington can afford $3.50 for ma
chinery to fill the silo? They are few.
Every dairyman with ten COWS or
more should have a silo, and If he
can afford the machinery, well and
good, let him get it by all means. 1t
will pay him we'll. But if he can't
afford the machinery he can do just
as we'll without it for small herd
We have two silos that we built at
odd times at a cost of $35 for one
and $50 for the other for material.
And they have given good satisfaction.
We have filled them every year Zone
of them twice each year, for several
years and have had very little trouble
with silage spelling, although we put
in peas and oats, oats, peas, clover,
corn, in fact everything we can not
cure without cutting, until this sea-
son. We filled one silo with cut clover
last spring, and we are now filling
again with corn. We are using a g
