A Washington dispatch says: Upon numerous requests from Arizona for the restoration to the public domain of about 16.000 acres of land located between Gila river and the Southern Pacific railroad near Yuma, Dilegate Cameron called upon the secretary of the interior and asked that these lands which were withdrawn for irrigation ment promised to take up the matthr later on.
 It has developed that the Southern Pacific railroad intends to move the round- house and round house super Intendent from Pearce to Gleeson, thus transferring all the activities incidental to the lay over and the repair of loco- motives from the old gold camp to the terminal of the line. A four-stall round. house will be erected at Glee-- son, and all the locomotives on the line from Oochise to GIeeson will be repaired there.
 A stranger died suddenly in Yuma Friday and coroner's jury rendered a verdict that liquor caused his death. Then it was discovered that the man was an English knight, Welch baron and Scottish lord. This made it plain that liquor was not the cause of his death and a second iury was em- paneled and rendered verdict in ac- cordance with the mans wealth and position. This time he died of heart failure.-Imperial Valley Press.

Big Reduction ln Surplus of Copper.

The report of the Copper Producers Association which was made public in Boston, July 9th, was moro encourag- ing than had been expected, showing larger falling if in the surplus on hand than had been anticipated.
 The reduction in the surplus of red metal on hand was also larger than shown by the June report when the reduction was 13 3OO,O0 while the present report shows n reduction of approximately 14.99O.OSO. This leaves the present surplus of copper on hand as standing under 154 S5S. .06I or supply at the present consumption of thirty-five of thirty days. and very much less than when the demand is normal.
 The production in June was 116,- 567 493 pounds decrease of l.7SS,- 653 pounds over May. while produc- tion decreased from 14S. .5O5. pounds. to l3l, 557 ,573 pounds.
 The report also shows that the com. panles on an average are producing about 60 per cent of thelr capacity.
 Indications are strong for an in crease demand of copper and a contin- ued and heavier decrease in the sur- plus of metal on hand from now on. Although the copper situation must be taken as highly improved. North Butte today reported it's output for the month of June as being 4, 339, pounds.

Patagonia as a Summer Resort.

Talking of summer resorts, you can add Patagonia to the list you publish ed in the Star of recent date. You don't have to climb any mountains to reach Patagonia. It's all rail route from Tucson to the valley of which Patagonia is the center, and 'from which you can climb mountains, if that is consideration in regard to summer resorts. There is plenty of good water obtainable, besides fishing and hunting for recreation during any dull hours that may fall to your lot while you are taking an outing. Then you can run down to Nogales in an hour and come back next day. This will afford brief change for sight seeing. What more do you want,
 That covers about all R. R. Rich ardst had to say of the Santa Cruz county summer resort while in the city this week. MT. Richardson has enjoyed the privilege of summer re- sorts in Arizona more than any other man in the Territory. Before he moved to Patagonia he had resort at Monkey Springs, five miles north of Pata gonia. There you can fish and enjoy his hospitality to your hearts provided you happened to be located 'close" to him and there were many in that class. Ashburn is there now, and the nature of present conditions at Monkey Springs are not ootainable at this writing. Those who know MT. Ashburn art best quail fled to speak intelligently in this con- nection.-Tucson Post.
