Quicker Time.

Dr. Lloyd c. Bailey of Mazatlan, Mexico, is here on visit and guest of his father, pr. George H. Bailey and family. He has spent ten years in that city and has prospered. At the present time there are something like 400 or 500 American inhabitants, many of the young men being employed with the railroad company and occupy ing the more responsible positions. Dr. Bailey says that there are great opportunities for energetic young men in Mazatlan. Work on the railroad to Topic is being rushed and the line now extended about 70 kilometers beyond Mazat- Ian.
 Two years ago when Dr. Bailey came to Phoenix it took nine days. This time the trip was made in AS hours, which illustrates how the sister republic is being connected up with the southwest. Dr. Bailey says the Americans are we'll sati5- fled with conditions there and many more are coming and locat- ing. Mazatlan has a population os about 25,000 in all.-Arizona | Gazette.

More Four Metals Litigation.

Tuesday there was inaugurated another chapter in the Four Metals Mining Company litigation, which bids fair to become as noted as was the Cananea troubles some ten years ago.
 It will be recollected that two suits by D. P. Pennywitt as secre- tary and treasurer respectively, were instituted at the April term of the district court against $. F. Johnson, to oust the latter from the two posts named. Those cases were sent to the district court in Pima county, on change of venue. There Judge Campbell gave a de- cision for Mir. Johnson, holding that as the Articles of Incorpora- ton of the Four Metals Company are framed, MT. Johnson having been elected to the two posts named at the regular annual meeting ei the stockholders in January 1908 he holds until the next regular annual meeting in January 1910
 Then the opposing party in the company called a special meeting of shareholders at Nogales Tues. day of the present week with the open and avowed purpose ot amending the Articles so removal of MT. Johnson can be accom-. plished. The meeting was held as per call, and while they were carry ing out their program Mir. Johnson and his attorney MT. $. L. Pattee were engaged in preparing injunc tion proceedings restraining thu other party from carrying out theil undertaking. The injunction wal served upon all parties in interes late Tuesday fternoon; and it tie up until the October term ofcourt th affairs of the company, unless tn the parties enjoined go to Tomb stone and ask Judge Doan to talk up the matter immediately ant hear now a motion for dissolution of the injunction, instead of wait ing until October.

There appear in these columns this week the Articles of Incorpora- tion for the Nogales Gas Company. The new company has taken over the franchise granted by the town board to Mr. H. w. Kelsey to erect and maintain in Nogales a gas manufacturing plant. A similar concession granted by the munich pality of Nogales, Sonora, is among the assets of the company. Bonds of the corporation have been placed, and the money is promised shortly when construction will begin. M Kelsey anticipates that the pl- will be in operation and delivC

Survey of Public Lands.

OreSS anlludlly dPPioPli"VNo VHO erm of $400,00000 for the survey and resurvey of the public lands of tbe United States, which sum is apportioned among thirteen west ern states and territories according to the requirements of these respec- tive districts.
 Under existing law, expenditure of the annual appropriation for public surveys is restricted, first, to lands occupied in whole or in part by actual settlers on the public do main, and, second, to lands adapted to agriculture. It will therefore be seen that the applications of actual bona fde settlers will be given pre- ference in the matter of authorizing the surveys of townships, payable from this regular annual appro- priation, and that applications by persons not actually residing on their claims, such as desert land claimants, for the survey of public lands including their claims will receive consideration only after the demands of actual settlers on other lands have been recognized, and provided the fund annually apportioned for each district has ,,ot hoan avhouctad
 In making application for the survey of public lands, the appli- cant should carefully determine, as near as practicable, the approx innate section, township, and range in which his claim is located and he should describe in detail all i'm provements which he has made on his claim.
 In order to secure the survey of full township and the quickest possible action by this office in awarding contract, it would be advisable for the applicant to have two or more other settlers who are living within the same township make similar applications for sur vey, the Government preferring to survey all the aricultural and grazing land in township under the contract. However, the appli- cation of one actual bona fde resi- dent in a township, where there are no other settlers, will be suffi- clent to secure the survey of twelve sections of that township; and the applications of two such resident settlers will secure the survey ol twenty-four sections,
 Public land surveys, payable iron the regular annual appropria ton, are made without cost to the settler, the Government paying all expenses in connection therewlth
 All applications for the survey ol public lands are examined ir the field by an agent of the Gov ernment, appointed for that pur pose, in order to determine the good faith, actual residence, etc., O the applicant. If such field exam nation develops the fact that the Setter's claim is not located in tht township stated in his application ne should immediately file new aaPpIlcation, properly describing Tne location of his claim therein It therefore behooves the applican 'o be on the lookout for the specia agent and ascertain from hin whether his application has beer correctly executed.

Survey of Mining Claims.

made under the authority or the Surveyor-General of the State or Territory in which his claim is situated prior to making applica- ton to the officers of the local Land Office for patent thereto, in view of the fact that the official survey is the basis of such appli cation for patent. One copy of the approved plat of survey is furn- ished the claimant or his attorney by the Surveyor-General, which plat, together with copy of notice of his intention to apply for patent is required to be posted in a con spicuous place on his claim. After posting said plat and notice upon the premises, the claimant will file with the Register and Receiver of the Local Land Office for the Dis trict in which his claim is situated application for patent, and, if no reason appears for the rejection of the application, the Register will, at the expense of the claimant, publish a notice of such applica- tion for patent for a period of sixty days in the newspaper published nearest the claim.
 From the foregoing, it is obvious that, in order to secure a copy of the plat of survey so as to enable the claimant to post the same for the period of sixty days prior to the end of the calendar year, the survey should receive my approval not later than October 20th. The field notes of mineral surveyor should be filed in this office at the earliest possible date, in order to insure the receipt by the claimant of the approval plat of his survey not later than Ooctober 20, 1909 This will avoid the necessity of the claimants's doing annual assess. ment work on each location for the succeeding calendar year, in the event of the issuance of final cer
 ti6cate by the Register of the Loca
 Land Office prior to the end of tht current calendar year.
 Each year during the months o
 August, September, and Octobe
 numerous applications are filed witl
 me for the survey of mineral claims
 which result in a large number o
 field notes being filed in this offic,
 during those months, especially th'
 latter ones. Naturally, the worl
 in the Mineral Department of th
 office becomes congested and, con
 sequently, some surveys can no
 be approved by me soon enough t
 permit the claimant to post hi plat for the required sixty-da period prior to the end of the cal endar year. It is the policy of tn Surveyor General to accommodat z mineral claimants in the matter o expediting office work in conneclio with the survey of their minin claims es far as it is within hi power to do SO, but the fact mus { not be lost sight of that the nun Der of employees in the Minera F Department of this office is ' necessity limited.
 t, It therefore behooves all miners 9 claimants who anticipate makin application for patent to thei y holdings, in the expectation e securing final certificate durin y the present year, to cause the 2 claims to be officially surveyed {
