FOREST RESERVES IN
 RELATION TO MINING

DENVER. March 31.-In order to numerous complaints concerning the administration of the national forests, which are being received from all over the west by the forest service commit tee of the American Mining Congress, it has been decided by the Directors of the Mining Congress to appoint a local committee in each state to re ceive complaints arising from this source, make investigation of the same and act in conjunction with the general committee in securing relief.
 In order that wise selections may be made the local vice presidents of the congress have been asked to sug- gest the names of the members of the committee for each state. While the Mining Congress favors a wise con- servation of our forests, 1t believes that the mining industry has pioneer ed all western development, ant that any policy which materially lnterteres with the further development of min ing or with the work of the prospeetor is not for the best interest of the west. In all cases where an investigation shows that mining is being restricted by unnecessary rules, the Mining Con gress will exert every influence to get just settlement. Chief Pinehot of the Forestry Bureau has signifed to the Forestry Committee his willingness to give personal consideration to these complaints, and an official decision is expected within few days making substantial concessions as a result of the requests made by the committee at the recent Denver conference.

ESTATE PRoBATRD
 AFTER LONG DELAY
CFrom Wednesdays paiIyl

| VI -NAAA " NNiAN-NsA4 . OoAA1I After an administration of 2I years, the estate of the Oliver minors was closed in the probate court here Mon day and T. W. Otis, guardian of the minors. discharged.
 The guardians 's account showed final settlement had been made with Jean Margaret Oliver Rockefeller, the youngest of the heirs, by the payment to her of sl1 ,151 in cash and property. Final settlement with William W. Oliver and Fred E. Oliver was made some time ago after they reached mans estate.
 Final settlement of the estate was delayed on account of the mysterious disappearance of Captain Rockefeller in the Philippine Islands over eight years ago. After the death of Will liam G. Oliver in November, 1887, Captain Rockefeller adopted Margaret Jean Oliver under the name of Marga- ret Jean Oliver Rockefeller. Captain Oliver was then stationed at Fort Whipple. He was removed later to the east, the adopted daughter going to Oberlin, Ohio, where she now re- sides. Seven years after Captain Rock feller's disappearance the courts of New York declared him legally dead. An administrator was appointed for the Rockefeller estate, who paid to T. W. Otis, guardian, the amount of the bequest made to Jean Margaret Oily CT Rockefeller in the will of her adopt ed father. The closing of the estate of the Oliver minors followed.
 The total value of the estate as ae- counted for by the guardian during his period of guardianship was $34,- C-LSo.
 A petition was filed in the probate court yesterday by William P. Will Hams praying that letters of admins tration of the estate of Ella Williams be issued 10 Frank G. Brown. The hearing of the petition was set for April Q.
 Patsy Hollihan was apointed admin istrator of the estate of Maggie Hol lihan. deceased.

SERIOUS SHOOTING AT
 CONGRESS JUNCTION
cFrom Wednesdays Daily)


 District Attorney Henry D. Ross left yesterday morning for Congress Junction to investigate a shooting which occurred there at II o'clock Sunday night. in which George sani- ta of Congress and E. seharff were principals Sanita is said to have been wounded in the right arm and left shoulder.
 Accounts of the atfray differ. One version is that Sanita, who was on his way to Phoenix, walked into the de- pot and asked Seharff, who was acting ticket agent, for a ticket. Santa handed s2O 10 Seharff, wno handed Sanita the ticket and the change due him. Sanita insisted that he was not given his change and asked for its payment second time. Scharff re- fused and Sanita, it is alleged, drew A caliber six-shOoter and struck Scharff on the head with the weapon, after breaking a light in the depot brandishing it at Scharff Scharff, it is said, pulled a .3s ealiber revolver from desk and fired three or four shots, two of which struck Sanita.
 Another story is that Sanita refused to pay for the ticket to Phoenix after Scharff handed it to nim and that Seharff pulled his revolver to enforce payment for the ticket, when Sanita drew his revolver and clicked it in ScharT'S face twice, the cartridge fail ing to explode. Scharff then fired the shots that wounded Sanita.
 Both accounts of the affray tele- phoned here agree in the statement that Sanita was under the influence of liquor.
 Sanita was arrested and lodged in the branch county jail at Congress pending investigation of the shooting.
 Sanita was formerly engaged in the saloon business in this city. He is well known here and has always borne an excellent reputation for peace and quietude.

THE RICHEST EVER IS
 A BONANZA SURE
From Wednesdays Daily)

?. B. Dreiser, who arrived home yesterday from the new strike in the Northern Arizona mine near Salome is enthusiastic over the future of not only that property but others located in the schist and lime contact of the Granite Wash mountains.
 "The gold discovery on the North ern Arizona mine is the richest ever made on this planet" he declared to a Journal-Miner representative. "It is proving better as development pro- gresses. Shipments of ore of bonanza value are being made daily through Wells, Fargo & Company.
 "Salome is now a city of tents. Gold seekers are Aocking in every day. A new townsite called Winehes- ter has been plotted at Desert Wells two miles from the Northern Arizona mine; S2,500 worth of lots were sold at the first days sale.
 "The schist and lime contact belt in which the rich discovery is located is four miles in length and from one to two miles in width. The mountains are located advantageously for eco homie mining operations. They are cut by canyons and deep washes which af- ford excellent tunnel sites.
 "In four of nine To cation shafts and cuts near the Northern Arizona property paystreaks averaging foot in thickness have been uncovered. Samples from these surface diggings assay from $2O to $3O a ton. The miners who did not arrive in time to appropriate claims are now asking for leases on the properties located by those early on the ground.
 "Water will be developed on the ground, but the supply is now fur nished from the well at the Desert mine. The recent rains have filled the water holes in the creeks and gulehes. am confident that the schist lime belt will develop into the richest gold producing section of the southwest"
 MT. Dreiser and his associates have accepted q small payment on the pur- chase price of a small group of mines located in the vicinty of the Northern Arizona property. They have four miners completing the title work on the claims. He will return to Salome in few days.

PARKER'S DESTINY AS
 A MINING CENTER
From Wednesdays Daily)


 That Parker is destined to grow in to one of the important business and mining centers of the territory, is the opinion of W. NJ. Neagle, who arrived home yesterday morning from an ex- tended tour of the Colorado River country tributary to the Arizona and California railroad.
 ''Since my last visit to Parker, only a few weeks ago, a number of build ings have been erected there and sev- eral are in different stages of con struction," he said. ''It is destined, in my opinion, to become one of the important cities of the territory in a few years. It is not only the center of a mineral country of great possi- bilities, but is also the natural busi- ness and distributing place for sec tion of country along the Colorado River which will prove as prolific as any in the world when reclaimed and irrigated by the waters of the Cobra do River This land is now an Indian reservation and the fertility of the small portion of it under irrigation a mile below Parker is astonishing.
 Experiments raising Egyptian cot ion on this land under the supervision of government officials are very prom ising. Those in charge are now con fident that the plant will grow to ma turity there as well as in its native country This summer will prove the experiments, which if proven success ful, will be followed by the introdue' ton of this character of cotton plant into the reservation.
 "'It is generally believed that the reclamation service will soon start a great irrigation enterprise for the re, clamation of the valley below Parker Tae valley is 65 miles long and will support thousands cf families. Gov. ernment experts claim that twenty acres will prove prolific enough to support a large family"

change to cash Sanita s coin. In sup port of his statement Seharff claims that he opened the cash drawer and produced a $20 coin to prove that he was not lying to Sanita. What fol lowed is more or less shrouded in mys- tery. Seharff claims that he laid the S2O gold piece in the ticket window and that Sanita offered a s gold piece. After he was handed the tick ct by Scharff Sanita took possession of the $20 gold piece and the change of the s due after payment for the ticket.
 Sanita claims that the s2O gold piece was his and refused to give it to Senarf. SeharR pulled a pistol and pointing it at Sanita demanded the re- turn of the gold coin. Sanita pulled his pistol and while brandishing it in Scharff's face and attempting to strike him with it overturned an ink bottle and extinguished a light Seharff then claims that he heard Sanita's s pistol click twice in the dark room and returned Sanita s attempt to shoot by firing four snots from his revolver. Two of the shots fired by Scharff struck Sanita, wounding him in the right arm and left shoulder. The oth- CT bullets failed to penetrate a rain coat worn by Sanita and were found on the floor near where Ssnita stood when the shots were fired.
 Sanita was arrested after the affray. His six-shooter was found empty.
 Sanita is alleged to have mad fight with his business partner before he left Congress the night of the shoot ing. It is believed that some person in the saloon emptied sanita s revolv- CT before he armed himself with it when leaving Congress Junction on his way to Phoenix.
 District Attorney Henry D. Ross, who represented the territory in the investigation of the ease and appeared for the prosecution at Santa's trial, arrived home yesterday morning.

SIGNIFICANCE OF MINING

Mining is synonymous of new wealth, created wealth, wealth dug from the ground. wealth obtained without the robbery of ones fellow man. Without mining the gold sup ply of the world would soon be cen tered in the hands of a few, able to dictate its destiny and reduce the less fortunate to a condition of serfdOm, worse than that of the Feudal Ages. It is therefore of the most paramount national importance that the business of mining be encouraged in every le- gitimate way, in order that wealth may be evenly distributed and pre- vented from accommodating in the hands of few.

COMMISSIONER TO TAKE
 HIS OATH TOMORROW
(From Thursdays Daily)

NJ. O. Bicknell, member of the rail road commission, passed through here last night on his way to Phoenix from Vincennes, Indiana, where he visited with relatives the last two weeks.
 In conversation with a Journal Min CT representative, the recently appoint cd railroad commissioner said: "My visit east had no official significance. After my ppointment on the eommis- sion I took advantage of my railroad privileges to visit my father and sis ter in Indiana before qualifying as a member of the commission. I will take the oath of my new office in the capitol tomorrow and enter upon the discharge of my duties at once. The commission will be organized tomor- TOW. A chairman and secretary will be elected. I am not in a position to say who will be chosen as chairman or who will be the seeretary.'
 Conversing further on his appoint ment, he said: My selection by Gov ernor Kibbey came as a surprise to me. The first intimation I had that I was liable to be named for place on the commission was a few days be fore the appointment when l received telegram from a friend in Phoenix to come to that city at once on i'm portant business. l was notified of my appointment after my arrival there. "While my appointment came as a surprise, it came at an oPpcrtune time. I was expecting orders to move my headquarters to GuayTas, Mexico, the main offices of the Randolph lines ;n Mexico, at any day. Other railroad officers, including the master meehan- ic, chief engineer, chief storekeePer had already left Tucson for Guaymas, which is reported not as desirable a place of residence as Arizona. l ad- init that would have moved to Quay mas if so ordered, but I preferred this place on the commission to becoming resident of the sister republic
 Commissioner Bieknell added that he expected the commission will be ready for active business in two weeks. Ac- cording to the provisions of the law creating the commission, the railroads will file their tariffs thirty days after it's passage The eXnration of the thirty days to file the tariffs will be ten days from date. Urtil that time the commission will devote it's time to the preliminari, incident on arrang ing for active work.
 Commissioner Bicknell was general passenger agent of the Southern Pa c;fc railroad, with headquarters at Tucson, when appointed a member of the commission. He has been connect ed with the Southern Pacific service many years in various capacities and is recognized as one of the ablest young railroad men in the west
