ton of pure gold, equivalent to $780,
900, is annually put as filling into the
teeth of the living. Inasmuch as none
of this precious metal is ever ex-
tracted after death, the shrewd calcu-
lator further reckoned that at the rate
stated quantity of gold equal to all
that is now in circulation will, in the
course of three centuries, be lying in
the ground again 1t is strange to
think that one digger-the sexton, to-
wits constantly returning to mother
earth nearly as much gold as the 9th

her bosom.

DEATH BEFORE POORHOUSE.

Sick and with the prospect of be-
ing taken to the poorhouse, Fred
Grinell, 80 years old, a stranger, left
his bed in the village hotel at Shell
burne, N. Y, dragged himself to
the railroad station, and as a passen-
ger train rolled along he knelt in
front of it, inclining his head to-
ward the rail. The blow which he
received is likely to cause his death.

Some day the salary of the president
will be increased to 100000, but the
passage of the bill making the increase
is doubtful at the present time. Yet if
it is desired that Mr.. Taft should profit
by it, the bill must go through before
March 4, as the presidents salary may
not be increased during the term for
which he is elected.

Informed the department of agricul-

his neighborhood having contributed
dollar apiece, he bought IL good books
on agriculture and horticulture, and
thus established small loan library
which has done excellent service.
Secretary Wilson now plans to develop
a similar idea. He invites both coun-

the initiative, and volunteers to advise
what books shall be purchased, and to
supply such Libraries with department
publications. Under these conditions,

siiEeral Claim Law.

Cont hissioner Bennett of the gen. eral Ian f office. under date of June II, issued be following instructions to all registers and receivers of United States land offices:
 The attention of the department has been called to the last clause of para graph I l of the mining regulation, approved March 29. 1909. with pro-, visions as follows:
 'The vein or lode must be fully des- cribed, , the description to include a statement as to the kind and character of mineral, the extent thereof, whether the ore has been extracted and of what amount and what value, and such other facts as will support the applicants allegation that the claim contains valuable mineral deposit.
 It seems that the expression. "the extent thereof" is being construed as meaning that the applicant must af- frmatiyely show the existence of a vein in such workings as he relied on to establish discovery. By the extent of the vein was meant it's size and quality as disclosed. This being done, the presumption exists that the vein extends on it's strike throughout the whole length of the claim as located.
 The sole purpose of that part of the land department to know, so far as applicant can reasonably show, the definite facts upon which the right to the patent is predicated so as to deter mine whether a valuable mineral de- posit exists in the land claimed.
 Ton will give this as wide publicity as possible. furnishing it to such news papers in your district as may want to publish it or refer to it as a matter of news.
 Very respectfully,
 FRED BENNETT,
 Commissioner.

Interesting Inquiries Made.

Inquiries are being daily received from all parts of the couAtry. through the medium of the Board of Trade, in regard 10 Nogales and Santa Cruz county. Today's mail brought from Chicago, New York City, Salt Lake City, Utah, and Los Angeles. queries as to the possibilities of this rich county. These letters were not prompted by idle curiousity. but are indicative of the wide spread interest in these gateway towns as possible homes for the financially alert.
 One inquiry from New York Oity was in regard to Tubac. as interesting place as can be found the world over, because of it's antiquity. it's vivid history of Indian days. the old fort being still in evidence. it's honorable position as the first capital of Arizona and the one time home of Colonel Poston, the memory of whom still lives in the hearts of all who knew him.
 Mines ehere are of richness not far distant from Tubac-and soil. the fertility of which is unsurpassed, lies waiting the plowshare's turning.
 Tho Canoa land grant in Pima county lies about eight miles from Tubac This grant is owned by Phila delphia people, it having been con- frmed in 1898. There are seventeen thousand some odd acres in it on which the owners have spent vast sum in the past four years for irrigation pro- iects. The Baca Float is interesting substantial residents of Santa Cruz county and it is thought the subject of it's titles will be cleared up at no distant period.
 The easy accessibility now made possible and increasing as the lines ot the Southern Pacific of Mexico are built on and on toward the terminus, is adding to the interest of NogaIes as the most important gateway in the country.-Star.

Rains in Chihuahua.

Farmers, stockmen and miners all over the state feel that the long 10 months drought is now well broken and every one is very hopeful of good rainy season. Rains have not been heavy but there have been num- erous ones over all the state uuless it has been in parts in extreme eastern Chihuahua. In the Sierra Madre re- zion there have been some good rains and the miners are preparing for full activity of their mills now. Mining operations had been severely curtailed for several months on account of low water in the streams. The big stock men lost heavily during the past few months on account of the drying up of the watering places. Happily, now. all the anxiety Is over, and a good rainy season is con nfdently expected - Chihuahua Enterprise.

Oldest Resident Dead.

Josefa de. Oquibo. who was the oldest woman in Arizona, died in this city this week. She was 10 years old
 Despite the fact that she had lived two score years beyond the allotted threescore and ten, the aged woman was able to walk about and apparently enjoyed excellent health until few days before her death. Then she was seized with sudden sinking spell and gradually passed to the end.
 She lived on Anita street and had been a resident of Tucson for the past 60 years She had no surviving re- latives.
 For the past half century Mrs. Oquibo had been a widow as her hus- band died in this city in 1859.
 There were children and grand children but all have passed away and the aged woman was the only remain ing member of the family.
 She was native of Hermosillo, So- nora, but came to Tucson in the early days with her husband, who was one of the leading Mexican residents here at the time.-Tucson Tribune.

Ooun Assessor Howe states that by tomorrow he will have the total amonnt of the assessed valuation of this county figured out. He estimates that it will be about SIS, 100000, which is $ ,000. 900 less than last year. This falling off is due to the curtailed copper production of 1908 and 8 shrinkage in value of certain city prop erty due to the general business de- pression. In the county there has been an increased amount of assessable property owing to the homesteading of a great amount of government land Tombstone Prospector.
 The main shaft of the Golconda mine is being sunk at the rate of about four feet per day, in excellent shipping ore. The ore opened in the shaft to thirty inch,s and is widening with every foot of depth. On the third level south drifting continues the heading showing breast of four and one half feet of ore running better than 90 per cent zinc. This drift has been run about 200 feet without g. break in the ore. The vein near the heading of the drift is about ten feet wide and the opinion is expressed among the miners that it will increase in width toward the south end of the vein. Only lack of teams prevent the handling of forty tons of shipping ore daily, although there is being sent out car each day to the smelter. There are about 75 men working in the mine, besides teamsters and roust- abouts. The company is also working a small force of men on the Tub mine and good ore is showing up in the opening.-Kingman Miner.

Chinese Lured To Mexico By False
 RepOtS.

A story, purported to have come from Assistant United States Attorney George Ohristy. clipped from a Phoe- nix paper, to the effect that 8 number of Chinese taken from San Francisco in bond through the United States in to old Mexico, claimed that they were born in the Golden G ate city, is de- nied by the immigration authorities here. who attended the hearing in No gales.
 The hearing however brought forth reports of gross misrepresentations in the Orient, presumably by solicitous of steamship companies and agents of other concerns bene6tting themselves by the passage of Chinese to the west ern hemisphere.
 The facts. it is slid, warrant an in- vestigation, and doubtless something of that character will be made. A score or more of Ohinamen were ship ed in bond from San Francisco through this country into Mexico. The aliens were dumped off at one of the termi- nals in that country, and there left to shift for themselves. They wandered from place to place in an endeavor to frd work, and some of them. not knowing their surroundings, recrossed the international boundary line into this country. They were apprehended near Nogales and held by the immi- grafton officers.
 They state that they were given to understand in their native country that work was plentiful in Mexico, aud was waiting for their arrival They found conditions very much to the contrary when they arrived, be- ing turned down at each place they applied for employment. They did not claim that they were born in San Francisco. as the report stated.-Tuc- son Post:
