TERRITORIAL AND COUNTY NEWS
YUMA RESERVATION
 OPEN 10 PUBLIC
Expected That Hundreds Set tiers Will Flock ln-Rail-
 road Is Talked Of,

YUMA. Jan. 7.-The townsite on the Indian reservation is now being mapped. It will lie midway between Yuma and Laguna. near the line of the railroad, and the lots will proba- bly be auctioned or to the highest bidder when the entry Is opened.
 The lime for ths opening Cf thls reservation has no. been officially decided upon as yet, but it wlll be widely advertised both as to time and method as soon as 1t is known when 1t will be ready for occupation. While there are no official statements to be had in regard to the date il IS confidently hoped that the project will be in shape to admit these lands for entry in the spring or early sum. mer. The maps which must be made before the lands can be apportioned are in the hands oi able draughts- men and will be completed as quick. ly as possible.
 The farm unit on the Indian reser vation will range from twenty to thir- ty acres, according to the quality of the soil, and will consist of arabic land minus roads ana ditches. It is considered that this amount of land will be ample for the support of a family. This is the intention of the government, the law regarding lAe size of the farm unit on entry lands specifying that the unit shall be such amount as is necessary for the sup port of a family The decision is in regard to the land on the Indian res ervation alone.
 For the Arizona side of the project the farm unit has not been an nouneed. It can affect only the few thousand acres which have been filco upon subsequent TO the reclamatic1 acr, and the area to be retained viii be made sufficiently large to support family. The holders of this Iand will also be given a certain length e time during which they may relin- quish possession of the surplus land aLd tkey may use their own discre- ton Gs to when the relinquishment takes place.
 Lands on the Arizona side are for the gre ater part held in private own ership and over 95 per cent of the acreage under the project has already been signed up. .kll in excess of 10 acres must be disposed of within a given time This will mean a rush of settlers to this part of the country and the early colonization Of many thousands of acres. A railroad has been already projected through the valley to the Mexican boundary ana will be started as soon as the defI- nite announcement of entry is made.

RAY CONSOLIDATED
 1 BUILDING BIG MILL
Company Claims To Have Ten or Twelve Million Tons
 h Sight

PHoENlX, Jan. I've expect to break ground by tue first of July for the new mill at Ray, the capacity of which will not be less than 2O00 tons per day and possibly as large as coco tons This statement was made to a reporter at the Hotel Adams by Mir. Sherwood Aldrich, the president of the Ray Consolidat- ed Mining company, when asked con cerniUg the future plans of the com pany with regard 10 the Pinal county property.
 MT. Aldrich is a member of a party of wealthy mining men who arrived in the city recently and left for the Kelvin district where several days will be spent in a trip of inspection, partially to gather facts from which will be determined the capacity oi the mill to be erected. Others in the party were: D. Jackling. of Salt Lake, manager of the Utah Copper company; w. P. Durham and J. w. Durham, of Los Angeles, who have a group of claims adjoining the Ray i; A. Salisbury of Los Angeles, G. Hop kins of New York city, W. B. Me Kelvie and H. Heresehoff of New
  eraI millions of capital. About two months ago another party number ing fourteen capitalists, members of the present party being among the list, paid a visit to Phoenix and the Ray mine.
 At that time Mir. Aldrich said that the building of the new mill was un- der consideration, as published at that time. Nothing has interyened to change the plans Ct the company. the development work which has been carried on with eleven drills has been satisfactory in every way and the plans for the. mill are now being completed oy the engineers.
 Mr Aldrich said that the company now had ten to twelve million tons of ore in sight, all very fine. run ming about 2 l-2 per cent copper, which can be mined very cheaply by the cavein process. The building ot the shelter is a certainty later on. but not immediately. Probably with in a couple Of years such a plant will be installed. The present mill will be for concentrating purposes. Two hundred men are now employed by the company and the building Of the mill will greatly increase that ElMHer-
 ..s. Aldrich said that he did not look for any sharp advance in the price of copper during the next few months, that it would probably hang around the fifteen cent mark. The Ray company can operate at a good margin of profit with copper at thls price. Mir. Aldrich was much grati. fled 10 learn that Arizona had again held the lead in the production oi copper for 1908 Regarding theiI Utah properties Nr. Aldrich said they were operating with about the usual output.
 He would not admit that there was any definite plans for the taking over of adjoining claims, citing the fact that the Ray already had 1000 acres, enough for 2 large mine and extensive investment in equipment | That the Ray has been reaching out 1 for more ground has been a current rumor here and has gained credence [ by the presence, lt the time, of the visits of the Ray people, of those m terested in other properties nearby

S3O0,00O For Ray Central.

Operating as the Ray Central, the reorganized company owning the Kelvin-Calumet property in the Kel- win district, consisting of about twelve claims and d mil, will start d active campaign of development work in the next thirty days.
 The Lewisohns of New York, the biggest copper mine promoters in the east, have taken hold of the proposi- ton and now $3JJ.COl is available in cash for the prosecution of the work. One million eight hundred thousand dollars more is to follow in install ments extending over d period of years.
 w. B. Twitchell recently returned from the east, where the matter was finally settled. Some time ago an expert representing the LewisOhns was in Phoenix, making investiga- tions, and his report back to the com pany was very favorable. The ac- quirement of the property and the change of the company name and it's financing has been the work of sev- eral weeks.
 The present mill on the property will be used for only sampling of the ore, and when the proper state of development has been reached new plant will be installed. The Kelvin Calumet has some iine showings and is regarded as unusually rich for that district. Native copper as been found in some of the workings, hich extend over several hundreI feet.
 Twitchell has been foremost in its development and hislittle mill rovrd the camp and aroused interest in the Kelvin country as a mining region.

Col. Pickett Makes Big Predictions.

That the new camp of Courtland is destined to be one of the biggest mining towns in the United States and that Douglas will before many months be the metropolis of Arizona is the declaration of Col. H. l.. Pick ett, of the firm of Pickett & Bow man of Tombstone, Arizona, who is in Fl Paso on his way to Washing ton to argue two important cases cases before the supreme court of the United States and incidentally to join in the fghc for statehood for Arizona.
 Col. Pickett when seen in his rooms at the Orndoff by a Herald repre- sentative dictated the following in terview:.
 ''Arizona is the treasure house of the west, with Cochise county, of which Tombstone is the county seat, as its bridal chamber, filled with such magnificent furnishings as the Copper Queen mine, with its produc- ton of more than S13, 100000 for the last fiscal year; and the Calumet X Arizona, with a productin of more than S6, 100000, and others of a pro- duction of more than SI,OOO, ,OO0 each, all of which are located near the town of Bisbee, one of the greatest copper centers in the United States.
 Arizona stands first as a copper producer in the United States. It led Montana by S7,O0O,O0O last year, and contributed to the mineral wealth of the nation more than S55, 900, ,00O. Cochise county alone produced more than S23, 900, 900 of this amount.
 .''The territory has more than dou- bled it's mineral outpuu in the last six years.
 'The taxable property of the terri tory for last year reached the sum of SSO,OOO, ,OOO, ot which COchise county contributed S2O, O,0Oe, ,OOO
 The mInes of Tombstone, once so famous for their wonderful produc- tion of the precious metals, are still producing, and are looking more promising as development progresses, they are now down to 1000 feet in depth.-El Paso Herald.

Timber Gu; From Public Land in 1908.

l Uncle Sdm's national forests yielded an increase of 1Q2 per cent in timber ! last year over the record for 1907, l giving returns of SS49,027.24 to the government. Twenty-Five per cent of this amount went back to the states in which the forests are located in i lieu of taxes, in accordance with the provisions of the law. This revenue will be added to the states fund for the support and maintenance of roads and public schools.
 | The amount of timber cut from all 1 the national forests was 392, 795, ,0CO | feet, board measure, as against 194,- SIP, ,000 feet in the previous year. ] This figure for 1908 does not include the 13l, ,432, 1000 feet given away to 1 settlers, schools and churches under ''free use" permits. This increase of 1O2 per cent shows a far, better use and increasing productiveness of the forest under conservative methods of cutting. There was d marked in crease of 236 per cent in the number l OA SdlCos uOL" lIuc lduOlIS LUG 1dSS | that the timber contracted for was far less in the aggregate than in 1907.
 In making timber sales the forest service seeks small in preference to large sales, and aims to safeguard d supply for future needs rather than to swell the immediate receipts.
 Were it desired, the present receipts from timber sales could be quickly doubled. During the year it was found necessary in the interest of a continued supply to restrict sales on many forests. Nevertheless, use ot the national forest as a source of timber supply was more general than ever before.
 The total receipts from timber sales each year have been as follows: 1905, $50. l36.62: 1906, s245, ,0l3.49: 1907, Si6S. Sl3.12: 1908, $S49, 9,O27.24.
 Payment for timber is always re- quired in advance. In large sales, however, aud in small sales on oc- casion, payment is made in install ments so arranged as to protect the government against loss without i'm posing unnecessarily severe burdens upon the purchaser. Thus the re- ceipts of each year represent substan- tially. but not exactly, the value of the timber sold and removed during that year.

Rival Gangs Clash on COurtland York

A real sure enough railroad clash occurred near Gleason last week, when the two working crews of the Southern Pacific and the Mexico X Colorado railroad companies met on the hillside facing Gleason. The two companies are rushing the mad race to get into Courtland first, and when the opposing gangs met on the hill- side both began grading the sanie stretch of about 400 yards. One started to work laying out the foundation and leveling the roadbed, when the other force began to blow up the stakes of the former and To- ceeded to lay out the route accord ing to their own plans.
 The battle was on, no sooner than the crews of one company banked the dirt one way the carts of the other company would drag it back.
 The Southern Pacific strove to es- tablish its line, while the Mexican x Colorado (Southwestern) fought for its right-of-wsy, and thus the war continued on the hillside until the big bosses came onto the battlefield.
 They arrived in automobiles run ming at the ld~t notch of speed Superintendent Campbell, of the South western, and Superintendent Mcclure, of the Southern Pacific. Under their eyes the battle of the flying dirt, the cOMtestants, horses, scoops and blows went on, neither making move beyond grading what the rivals wished done some other way. Finally both sides agreed to let the smoke of battle clear away.
 The forces of both roads were with drawn from the contested field and was serene, awditing an amica- ble settlement.
 During the melee the foreman of one company caught the horses. and bridies of a team belonging to the other company and vice 1Ners4 Nearly POO men engaged in the blood less battle. The scene afforded much merriment and amusement to all who witnessed the mad scramble.

The management of the Anderso n Apache company has announced that there is no truth in the rumOr that the mine is about to be sold. This rt = port, it is said is Irobably due to the fact that 10000 shares of the treasury stock of the company have recently been taken over by Chicago partie s.
