NEW GUNS FOR THE
NATIONAL GUARDSMEN.
Outline of Plans for a Busy and Pr0fita-
bic Summer for the Soldier Boys.

New Sprinfield relies, improved and
up to date, now recognized as the
best man-killer in the market, are
shortly to be provided for the nation
al guard of Arizona, in lieu of the
Krag-Jorgenson rifles with which the
guard is now equipped. This is not
because the Krags are d poor gun,
but because the new Springfield is
better one and shoots a little bit far
Their and with a better trajectory.
The American military establishment
must have the best if it keeps its
guard is a direct adjunct of the
regular esta blishment it must be
armed the same way to avoid con-
fusion in the event of field duty.
The new weapon also shoots a sharp
pointed bullet which it is contented
does better work and is more nasty
and searching in its methods when it
is fired into a string of men. One
hundred of the new. guns will be re-
ceived at once and will be issued to
the expert marksmen in each COM
pany that they may begin practice
with them but the entire guard will
be re-armed by summer time.
The plans for the activity of the
guard during the summer are fast
taking shape. First shape is the an
nual shoot at Camp Perry. The best
marksmen will be selected from each
company, to the total of about forty,
will be taken to the Fort Whipple
rifle target range for practice and
from this number will be chosen the
team just as was done last year, to
represent Arizona in the Camp Perry
competition. On : their return in
September. it is likely the entire
guard will be modified at some point
in this valley for short period OF
drill and practice. This will be fol
lowed by the designation of bat
talon of the guard to attend the
Pacific encampment for field ma
neuyers, which will be held at Nacie
mentos ranch in Salinas valley
Monterey county, CAL. There viii
be present guardsmen from the coast
states and all the available regular!
in that part of the country.
Between now and that time new
uniforms will be ordered, both blue
and kahki and the guard will be pu
at the highest standard of efficiency
possible. The annual inspection o
the guard will take place in Apri
and will be made by some regular
army officer not yet announced.

Five Day Week for Tucson Shops.

Effective JanuaIy 9th, an order
was issued for the Tucson division
putting the shops there on five-day
week working plan, with but eight
hours each day.
This order affects all the various
branches of the local shops and also
applies to the branch shops at Yuma.
1t was given owing to the extra
ordinary light freight business. 1t
was learned that for some time past
the freight business has been only
about half of what it has been nor
mally and the passenger business is
also light.
1t was thought when the order was
given putting the shops on an eight
hour day plan that there would be
sufficient work to keep the entire
force busy, but is has been found that
this is not the case.
AS result the shops will work but
five days each week. This order will
be in effect until the freight business
picks up again.

"We now have our coke ovens all
complete, and the engines in the
powerhouse are run with gas from
the coke ovens. Dawson can now
supply 10000 tons of coal daily;
about half of this will be converted
into coke, which has been contracted
for Cananea and to the G. & A. and
the Copper Queen. When these
three companies are operating their
smelters up to their capacity, they
will take the daily output of coke at

siderable activity. Five companies
are now developing copper mines in
the Burro mountain district and the
indications here are favorable for a
production in the future equal to the
Clifton district in this territory.
The Burro Mountain Copper com
pany has made the most extensive

BACK FROM CONVENTION.
Pima County Cattle Owner New Presf.
dent of Live Stock Association.

Colin Cameron, who was one of the
Arizona delegates to the National
Live Stock Mems Convention, has re-
turned from Denver where the con-
vention met and has gone on a trip
to the northern part of the territory.
The most important thing which
the convention did was to endorse
the policies of President Roosevelt
in regard to the open ranges.
After the big kick which was
made in the convention of last July,
those who oppose government super
vision of ranges were only able to
marshal a vote of 80. Those who
agree with President Roosevelt that
the open ranges should be protected
from over stocking and other evils
numbered 1856.
Every state and territory west OF
the Mississippi river was represented
in this convention, and the vote in
the convention represents the senti
ment of the great mass of the PEG
pie in that part of the nation which
would be affected by law for range
protection.
H. A. Jastro was elected as presi
dent of the National Live Stock As
ISOLATION. This is an honor to bott
Arizona and California, for this terri
tory and the Golden state claim him
He is a resident of Pima county anG

The ten delegates from Arizona
were Dwight B. Head, Phoenix; J. J
Riggs, both Phoenix and Cochise
county; M. A. Perkins, of the Live
Stock Sanitary board; Mr.. Perkins
the sheep man; H. A. Jastro, Colir
Cameron, Hugh Campbell, Ed Moore
William A. Neal, ]. V. Vickers.
The representatives of Arizona
were all solidly with President Roose
yelt and Forest Pinchot, and needles:
to say, they helped to swell the over
whelming vote approving theil
policies in regard to range super
vision.
Forester Pinchot was present and
gave several interesting talks before
the convention. He fully explained
the position of the forestry depart
ment and the president on all ques
tions in which the sheep and cattle
men are interested.
