MILLIONS OF SHEEP
DIPPED IN n. MEXICO
Sheep Raising In Sister Terri
tory Is In Most Furnishing
Condition.

ALBUQUERQUE Jan. 14.-Five
million eight hundred thousand sheer
and lambs were dipped at the first
dipping last year, according to an ap
proximate estimate made yesterday
at the local Offices of the bureau OF
animal industry. This is a conse-ya
tive estimate and brings to light the
fact that New Mexico has over a mil,
lion more sheep than it has been
credited with and also forecasts the
possibility that New Mexico may
within the next few years, be the
greatest sheep raising and wool grow
ing state or territory in the union.
The last few years have been banner
ones for the sheep men u New Mexi-
co, and If present Indications are not
deceptive, yet greater things may be
expected of this industry.
A prominent sheep man, well post
ed on local conditions, waen asked
yesterday to give an estimate of the
probable wool crop for the coming
year. replied: 1T is hardly possible
to give very close estimate at this
time as the sheep buyers from other
states and territories have not aa yet
commenced to ship out sheap for win
ter feeding, but leaing a large mar
gin for such shipments, in the srIlng
New Mexico should have over five mil
lion sheep with an average OF five
pounds of wool, 1r oys:', to each ami
maj This will amount 70 about tw' y
ty million pounds Of wool, taxing into
account the decrease on account Of
conditions in the east, am little
afraid that prices viii be some nat
low this season, but taking into con-
sideration the fact that the sheep
men have not much cause for com
plant However, the wool market ID
to certain extent, just like copper
or any other staple product prices
are continually fiuctuating and it may
be possible that wool viii be away
up next spring.

SITE
IS SELECTED
BY COMMITTED
Governor and Party Return To
Capital From Florence After
Settling Location of New
PenitentlaY.

PHOENIX. Jan. 14.-Haying select
ed leo acres Of land, one mile south
east Of Florence and known as the
Sharpe tract, as the site for the new
territorial prison to be erected at
Florence. the members Of the board
Of control returned from Pinal county
yesterday evening and from now ON
steps toward the construction of the
penitentiary viii follow in rapid sue
eession.
Three sites were examined by the
members of the board OF control,
which consists of Governor Kibbey,
Auditor Page and ]. ]. Riggs. Prison
Superintendent Rynning and Archi-
tect H. C. frost were with the board.
being consulted about several matters
in connection with the location of the
prison.
Each of the sites examined consist
ing of 160 acres, and none of them
is more than one mile from Florence.
In addition to the Sharpe tract, which
was the one selected, there were the
Stephens and Reppy quarter sections.
The first is three-quarters of a mile
west of Florence, and the second ad-
joins the Sharp tract on the east
Arizona gets the Sharpe property
absolutely without cost, having been
donated to the territory by the people
or Florence. Either the Reppy or
Stephens quarters would have cost
several thousand dollars, but in addi-
ton to being free there were several
advantages in favor Of the Sharpe
property
Though not an architect, the plan
OF the prison is original with Cover
nor Kibbey, and is the result of inves-
legations he has made. In the GEN.
ter of the enclosure will be a tower,
and built around this tower in cir
Gle will be the buildings in which to
keep the prisoners.
Entrance to the center tower will
be gained by tunnel from the Of
flee buildings just outside of the en-
closure. This tunnel will be the only
means OF getting there. From the
tower three sides of every building
viii be in plain view, as well as their
interiors. The fourth side of each
building will be watched from towers
on the four corners OF the concrete
walls surrounding the enclosure.
Altogether there will be room for
eight buildings in the circle around
the tower and when ali are construct.
ed they will accommodate about 500
prisoners and as the umber of in.
mates increases more buildings can
be added in conformity with the gen.
eral plan.
The appropriation for the prison is
100000, and members OF the board
OF control now believe that by elm
mating the cost of labor, rock and
sand the amount will be more than
sufficient to carry out all plans. IT
Is estimated that when the entire
prison is completed, which NAV not
be for twenty years, its total cost will
not have exceeded s25O,O0O.
As soon as the detailed plans for
the prison are accepted by the board,
Prison Superintendent Rynning will
bring TRUSTEES from the Yuma pen tn
Florence, and put them to work clear
ing the ground and starting work on
the first building. Once there is a |
place to put cells more prisoners will
De brought from Yuma to help in the
construction work.

the junior class took part in thair
gymnasium costumes, and this was FOL
lowed oy very pretty calesthentic
grill After this came the wrestling
match which was featured as the event
OF the evening, between Wesley Daugh-
erty and Frank Sileels. The two bows
are about fourteen years of age. but
are sturdy little athletes and they put
up splendid exhibition. Skeels won
the first throw with a hammer lock
hold, which is one of the most severe
holds possible to ootain. When they
went at it again, Doughtery was wary
OF trick holds and by main force sue
ceeded in throwing his opponent twice
in succession.
Probably the most exciting event OF
the evening was the relay dumb bell
race between four teams, OF which
the captains were Caleb Rice, Essie
Blumenthal, Roy Welsh and Frank
Fisher. Two teams lined up at one
time at opposite ends of the gymna-
sium- The first man in each team

them running at a time. The members

BODY OF A
MURDERED
man FOUND
Corpse of Man Who Disappear
ed Six Months Ago Discov-
cred Carefully Hidden in the
Workings of Old iMne.

Last Friday morning John Rapp, in
company with two Mexicans named
Pomposo and Baldonado. were ex-
ploring a shaft of the abandoned st.
Louis mine, between Central City and
Gold Gulch, with a view of leasing the
same. says the Silver City Indepeno-
ent.
While exploring drift thirty-fiye
feet below the surface a vile stencil
was detected, but no attention was
paid To- l. al ne tina. or their way
out, however, Baldonado, who was in
the lead, noticed razor lying on the
timbers. His companion, who was i'm
mediately behind him. said, yes, a
man behind it,"
The three men hoisted the body 70
the surface, and it was later identi-
fled as that of Charles Engel, an ex-
soldier of Fort Bayard
The skull of the victim was crushed
in and the lower part Of the face
crushed, but Identification was made
complete by the fact that Mr.. Engls
had lost the little Finger on his left
hand, and also carried a bullet in his
left arm near the elbow. When the
arm was opened at that point it re-
vealed the bullet.
That the man was murdered on top
of the ground and the body placed
where it was found is proven by the
fact that if he had fallen into the
mine the body would have gone
straight down the main shaft. and. as
it is, the body must have been low.
cred to the level of the drift and then
carried back to where it was found.
All timbers were in place with tae
exception OF one which could not be
replaced on account of the body.
That the murderer or murderers
covered their tracks well at the time
is shown by the lard bucket in the
drift filled with dirt and what appears
TO be dried blood undoubtedly scrs<ed
up on the scene of the crime and low
cred with the body.
Sheriff Nelson Immediately des-
patched deputy to the scene, but up
TO the present time no clew has bean
found which would lead to the appre-
hension of the perpetrators of the
crime. N-

BIG FOREST RESERVE
IS ESTABLISHED
President Reserves More Than
100000 Acres, In Coun-
ties of Arizona.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-Ths pres
ident has just signed proclamation
creating the Verde national forest in
Arizona. This new national forest
has a area of 71.7S0 acres and is 10
Gated in Maricopa and Yavapai coun-
ties. 1t lies on the west side es the
Verde river and includes large por-
ton of the watershed of this stream.
Jerome, the headquarters of the Unit
ed Verde copper mine, is situated in
the northern part of this forest West
and southwest Of Jerome are tde Min
gus mountains There is a small
area of commercial forest which has
been badly abused in the past, but.
which, under proper management.
viii furnish a small local supply Of
timber to the mining camp.
The greater part of the area Of this
forest is covered with growth OF
brush without commercial value. The
protection of this, however. is Just as
important as heavily forested land,
for, as in the case in southern Cali
fornia, this scrubby growth is the only
thing that conserves the water sup
ply and protects the watershed OF the
Verde river from serious erosion.
The creation of tais new national
forest is considered necessary by the
reclamation service for the best "a.
ministration of the reclamation act,
and the watershed has an important
relation to the full development of the
irrigable lands of Salt River val
ley. In order that the rich land in
this part Of Arizona be brought to
their highest development the water
shed of the Verde river viii be pro-
tected from damage through wasteful
numbering and overgrazing. Many
parts of the forest have suffered from
overgazing by large bands of goats.
and the protection OK the brush cover
viii prevent further erosion and i'm
rairment OF the water supply.
The forest service viii by no means
prohibit grazing on this new forest.
but viii endeavor so to regulate it
that the watershed OF the Verde riv-
er will not be injured. In this way
an important source of water which
converges toward Salt River and its
tributaries will be protected for the
ultimate development of the irrigated
lands.
