Claims of Arizona Soldiers.

Any old Union soldier or sailor who served 90 days or longer in the war of the rebellion, and who went west after the war and made homestead entry in any state in the Union for either 40, 80 or 12O acres, before June p, 1874, has claim coming to him from the government.
 It does not make any difference whether he proved up on his home stead entry or simply left it.
 There were thousands of old sol diers who went to Kansas and Neb- raska after the war and took up S0- acre homesteads, and when the grasshoppers and hot winds came along left their entries and went east. Each of these men have claims.
 Under a supreme court decision, these claims are assignable. Fen s. Hildreth of Phoenix perfects the title to these claims and will pay the highest market price for same.
 If the soldier is dead, the widow or heirs can sell their right.
 If a soldier never made an entry, he has nothing to sell.

 After agreeing to the above pro- gram for races, a general discussion followed on the outlook for stock, agriculture and other exhibits. Mem bers of the different sub-committees present reported that there seemed to be a desire on the part of the farmers and stock raisers to help in every way to make the first county fair success.
 It is expected that exhibits of ag- ricultural products and fruits grown in this part of Arizona will be the best ever gathered together. Owners of fine stock are enthusiastic over the horse and cattle show that will be held, and many fine animals will be in the horse and stock parade.
 Tuesday afternoon, August 3lst, is the date set for the meeting of all the sub-committees and others inter- ested in holding the fair. The meet ing will be held in the office of Jus tice of the Peace Colton.-Guardian.

Fortune Held for AriZOnan.

The Phoenix Gazette says: If a certain Frank Bird will come for ward and report at the office of the sheriff he will hear something to his great financial advantage. Word has been sent here from Nogales in- quiring of him. He came to the ter ritory from. Texas in 1884. His rel atiyes heard from him intermittently for the next five years and then all communication was cut off, but he was supposed 10 be still in Arizona.
 A short time ago his father died at the age of 1O2, leaving an estate of $50, ,O0O to be divided among three heirs, and it is desired that he may be speedily found, or that informa- tion may be obtained that he is no longer living.
 It was the impression at Nogales that he had been, if he was not yet in this portion of the territory. The last city register contains the name of Frank Bird, age 47, a resident of the Fourth ward and native of Texas. But nothing could be learned Of him

Grading Starts on Southern Pacific.

Word from Courtland reached this city last week to the effect that the Southern Pacific company has put a grading outfit to work at Kelton, and that the work is coming down the valley on the original survey made five years ago. This survey runs to Naco, Douglas and Bisbee, the line to this city forming junction with the Naco line in the vicinity of Forest.
 The grading outfit now at work is that of Brophy and Johnson, of Bis bee, and is the same one employed on the contract held by these gentlemen on the Mexico and Colorado road. Besides the Brophy force it is under stood that the big outfit of Grant Brothers will be at wortk on these lines early next week.
 The coming of the Southern Pacific will cause the realization of a hope of many years in this city and the bene- fits of its coming will be great in all lines of industry and business.-Doug- las International.

To Bridge San Simon.

The heavy rains which have lately visited this section, caused the San Simon to rise above it's banks. The water washed away the bridge cross ing the river at the county road and the one at the railroad depot, south of Sulomonville.
 The necessity for substantial bridge come so urgent that the Board of Supervisors prepared plans for two steel bridges. Each bridge will have span of seventy feet, this length being necessary for good foundation.
 Notices for bids have been sent to several bridge building companies in Fl Paso, Texas; Denver, Colo, Los Angeles, Cal, and Leavenworth, Kansas.
 Bids will be received up to Septem- Der ', 1909, when they will be opened by the Board of Supervisors and the reward made to the lowest responsible bidder.
 The decision of the Board of Super yisors to construct two steel bridges across the San. Sisxal., instead of wooden bridges, is commended by everyone. The wooden bridge across the river at the county oad was built only few years ago and cost close to 5000, and more money since for re pairs, and was never considered a safe | structure by travellers.
 It is considered that good sub stantial bridges, built entirely of steel, and resting on concrete founda- tions, will be more economical, and | stronger and safer for travel, besides lasting for many years longer than wooden structures.-Guardian.

Hartman After PheIpS-DOdge.

The Fl Paso Herald has made the following observations:
 It looks like a Hartman attempt to put up hard fight on the Phelps Dodge interests, the way he has thrown engineers into the field and put grading crews to work over in Arizona on that railroad extension.
 The present plans are to build from Gleeson and Courtland into Bisbee and Douglas and then down to Ndco to a connection with the Cananea line. This would parallel every foot of line the Southwestern has and put the Southern Pacific right into the Phelps-Dodge territory, into country that has been developed by the Phelps-podge people and the de- velopment of which originally forced the PhelpsDodge people to go into the railroad business.
 Just what object the Hartman people have is net apparent. Maybe they think there is business enough in the copper camps of Arizona for two railroad systems and are going after their share, and maybe they hope to stihe competition and buy out the Phelps Dodge railroad inter- ests, or at least make railroading un- profitable for the Dodge people and settle for all time the question of all extension of the Southwestern to San Diego.
 The Southern Pacific controls the harbor of Los Angeles and it has no fear of competition there, but San Pedro harbor is still open and there has been talk for a long time of the building of a line from San Diego to Yuma and then to Benson for a con- nection with the Southwestern. This would open up San Diego to the Rock Island and give the Southern Pacific competition for ocean business that it now has bottled up. This fear of a Southwestern extension in the di- rection of San Diego may have some thing to do with the entry of the s. P. into the Arizona field.

Encampment Site Chosen.

The F. A. Tritle tract, located near Whiople barracks, just at the edge of Prescott, was selected as the sight for the annual encampment of the Arizona National Guard. Colonel McClintock and Captain Alkire made that choice after viewing sites at Kirkland, Skull Valley, Del RIO and Prescott.
 The officials were met at Kirkland by a delegation of Prescott citizens and brought there in d special train and were shown all available sites in that vicinity, including Del Rio Governor R. E. Sloan and Mayor Goldwater joined the party and went along on an inspection trip. Col onel McCliutock and Captain Alkire left later for Phoenix.

Holding the TaiIineS.

Great activity is reported at Capt. Bill Spaw's camp at the damsites, where for three years he has been impounding the tailings from the Arizona Copper Company's big con- Centrator at Morenci.
 The work done here is prodigiouS and five different dams are being built, the lower and largest one over forty feet high and five hundred feet long. Millions of tons are here spread out over an area of twenty acres, and so safeguarded that none of it gets the to river to impregnate the waters of the Gila with crop destroying ingredients. The work at the dams is constant and six men are at work all the time under Civil Engineer Lem Spaw.-Safford Guardian.

The Fl Paso and Southwestern has about twenty section hands at work near the depot engaged in removing the old dump at the Vizina shaft, the rock to be used as ballast on the main line of that railroad between Naco and Douglas. The company estimates that there are about 100 car loads to be had from this dump and the material is excellent for ballasting purposes. As was recently stated, the company contemplates hauling 1000 cars of rock from here; the additional amount will be taken from the rock quarries below town Tombstone Prospector.
