Report That Government May A<aIf
 Use Former Army Post.

A report is in circulation in the city that Fort Huachuca may be aban- doned and a new army post created for Southern Arizona at Fort Lowell. north of Tucson.
 This report gained circulation fol- lowing the visit of General Thomas in charge of the department of Colorado, who made a trip in an automobile to old Fort Lowell during his stay in this city last week.
 It is said by some that the trip was for the purpase of inspecting the old fort with view to re- establishing 1t as a government post.
 General Thomas during his stay here stated in an interview tha. there is little prospect of the abandonment of the army post at Fort Huachucs. but nevertheless it is believed by some local citizens that .he government IS seriously considering a re-establish- ment of Fort Lowell-Tucson Citizen.

BACA GRANT CASE IN COURT.
Litigation over Valuable Ranch and
 Mining Land Not Settled.

The famous Baca grant case, in volviDg title to thousands of acres of valuable agricultural and mining lands in the vicinity of CAlabasas in Santa Cruz county, has been carried into the courts in the District of Columbia by the Baca heirs, who claim title to number of ranches and homesteads as we'll as mnes within the district cover ed by the grant.
 This famous suit which began sev- eral years ago in the Arizona land of flee, which we 8 then located in Tucson, was taken to the general land office in Washin gton and lastly to the Secre- tary of the Interior, whose final ruling was against the Baca heirs and in favor of the present occupants of the land. Not content to allow the mat ter to drop at this stage. the Baca heirs applied in the United States court in the District of Columbia for an injunction restraining the Secre- tary of the Interior from issuing title to the land now occupied by ranchers and homesteaders within the grant.
 The writ was made returnable iH Washington today but by agreement of counsel in the case, it's return has been postponed indefinitely Attor- ney s. L. Kingan of this city Is the counsel for the ranchmen and home steaders.-Tucson Star.

Statehood Earned.

Official confirmation of the fact that Arizona led the states of Montana and Michigan in copper production last year is contained in the report of the United States Geological Survey. which has just been issued. the exact total being given at 254. S7O 489 pounds of a value of $50. .975. .S98. Although this copper output is nearly 12.OCO.O pounds in quantity, and more than S5OO,OOO in value. less than that of the preceding year, it exceeds the record of Montana by nearly 35.Coo.ooo pounds in quantity and $7, 100000 in value. Gold was secoEd in value of production, the out put amounting to l26,6l2 ounces. valued at S2.617, ,313; silver was third with 2.511, ,S79 ounces valued at $l,- 657 1852 and lead was fourth with production valued at S247.Ol6. Zinc to the value of S13.48I was mined during the year, bringing Arizona's grand total production from precious metal mining up to the enormous sum of S55 ,5lI.50O
 For Territory that has been denied the right of Statehood by Republican Con gress for many years. this appears to be fairly good good record and should furnish proof of the self evident fact that eastern representatives Tn Congress have not yet fully grasped the immensity of the mining develop ment of the West.-Los Angeles Min ] ing Review.

North Yuma Mines Opening We'll.

Fred Vessel, of Yuma, is in receipt of letter from his friend and part- ner, w. c. Despair, from the camp near Bouse, and he tells some good truths of that country and more than encoura sing news of their own camp. The business is on the general up grade, and all signs points to pros porous year.
 Signal camp has received its smelter and it will be erected as fast as men can put it in place. This property is claimed to be very rich, in fact the owners think they have world beater in the copper field. On his own claim he reports the first strike of free gold, but has not had assays made, so can not determine the value with any de- gree of assurance, but says that 1t certainly looks good. Rain was want ed when he wrote, for they had to haul water fourteen miles, and that makes a hardship that it takes good property to overcome. His outfit are sinking BOW on copper property that is showing up very well, and On it's widening and richer growing they are hanging much hope and doing many hours hard work-Yuma Sun.

aC that uepCu. AS IuaS VIII "iAHS SO workings below water level. higher grade ore is expected. The Four Me- tals is attracting considerable atten- ton in the mining world, judging from the number of visitors at the camp during the past couple of months. Scarcely a week passes in which the mine is not visited by from one to three mining men and mining experts from different parts of the United States. all of whom are shown the mine. Some of them shave tried to talk sale, but there seems to be nothing doing in that line. The writer has tie infor- nation direct from the management of the company that the mine is not for sale just now and that no offer will be considered till the development work planned and now under way has been accom- plishsd. The talk of ons- hundred ton concentrator, in dulged in by the owners of the Four Metals mine. when the south tunnel first cut into the ore body, has been forgotten. With the work now done there is ore enough in sight to feed a one- -thousand-ton concentrator. It IS similar in character to the ore in the big lew grade mines of Butte The writer has worked in several of the big mines of Butte) and as in the Butte mines the ore lies between gran ite walls.

FIRE DESTROYS
TOWN OF RAWH|DE
Flames Swept On BY High Wind De-
vastate Mining Camp and Cause
Suffering.

Rawhide, New. Sept. 5.-The sltua-
ton following yesterdays confiagra-
tion in this town Is much improved
today. The relief trains arrived from
Reno and Goldfield and no suffering
resulted. Notice has been given that
no further supplies are needed. The
total loss. it is estimated, will not be
in excess of $4,000
The fire started in a doctors office
and quickly spread, being famed by a
high wind. One OF the first buildings
to burn was a hardware store In
which was stored several tons OF dy-
Mantle and when this exploded Ii
threw burning boards all over town,
setting fire to many buildings. The en-
tire town turned out to fight the
flames but could do little, although
working heroically. The fire was final
ly subdued but not until it had swept
the entire town.
1t was feared that much suffering
would result but the arrival of trains
with provisions and bedding averted
this.

WILL SOON NAME
FOREST SERVICE men
They VIII BE Sent Out From WASH
ington Within n Short Time.

Washington, Sept. 5.-Announce-
ment of the names of the men to be
in charge of the various Offices of
the forest service is expected to be
made before another week has passed.
The task of removing practically
all of the national forest business to
the field seems stupendous one TO
a person not familiar with the way
the work has been planned. Those
who have had a chance To visit the
Washington office of the forest SER
vice during the past two months have
learned that there is an organized
forest training school running in the
big brick building on H street and
that the men who are to so into the
field will have received weeks OF
training in their new duties before t
is time for them to leave the city.
Other field officers have been ordered
into the local office and before the
time for change of administration the
thorough preparation will make II
possible for the men to take their
places and conduct their offices as
though the work had been going on
for months.
Actual ira sfer of the national for
est business the field will be made
gradually. so that there will be prac-
tically no interference with the rou-
tine work. When through, the
change of administration to the Fix
district headquarters will mean much
in expediting and rendering the forest
work more effective. The saving OF
time in getting action on matter re-
lating to administration will be one
of the most important benefits. Now,
II takes from four days to two weeks
to get mail to Washington and receive
reply at the various points In the
fourteen national forest states. With
the mail going to six central cities in
the west instead of to Washington,
there will be a marked saving In time
in getting action on matters relating
to the administration of the forests
and the benefit is sure to be felt by
every forest user.
