 ness of Only Two Days.

C. S. Blaine died yesterday forenoon at II 55 o'clock at his home, No 9O3 west Jefferson street, after an illness of only two days. Death followed a very sudden and acute ptomaine pois- oning. but from what origin has not been learned. No other member of the family is ill and so far as known MT Blaine had eaten nothing recently to which the poison could be attributed.
 He was taken i'll Monday night and grew rapidly worse until Tuesday even ing, when a physician was summoned His temperature was very high and his pulse very weak, but it was not con- sidered that his condition was especi- ally alarming for ptomaine poisoning is one of the diseases that can usually be handled if the patient is found in time.
 Yesterday morning when the physi- cial called the patients condition seemed to be greatly improved and he was cheerful. In the middle of the forenoon he was taken suddenly worse and between II and 12 o'clock the doc tor was summoned again. He arrived about ten minutes after 12. to find the patient had expired.
 The dead man has been a resident of Phoenix for the last eighteen years, and was 4S years old. Beside his wife. Mrs. Lillie E. Blaine, he is survived by daughter. Miss May Blaine. and a son.

ENTERING OF LANDS
 IN CROOK FOREST
The Rush at the Land Office Yesterday
 Was Not PreciPitste.

There were no corners knocked off the corridors of the Fleming block yesterday in the rush to file on lands | in the crook national forest recently
 reopened to entry The situation was | that a number of people were very anxious to secure a very little of the ground. but most of the acreage mo- | body seemed to want at this time. | There were only fifteen or twenty peo- | pie in line at the very beginning and | the wants of all were attended 10 with
 neatness and despatch. About 2,000 | acres were filed on for total of the days work
 | The Miami Copper company secured
 a few acres for which settlement was
 made in scrip. Its value to that com
 pany is in the contiguity of the ground 1 to the company's mining property, | There were a few filings made by set
 tiers and prospective settlers. There was only one clashing of interests and | that was between three men. Cleveland | W. Van Dyke. Joe PrOchaska and
 James Mackey, all of whom applied for | the same piece of land. Each claimed
 a settlers right. It will take a hearing
 before some commissioner. probably to l be specially appointed to hear the case
 case in Globe, near which city the par 1 ties all reside. to determine who has l the prior right. Even then it may be
 appealed to Washington before it is
 finally settled.
 The notable thing concerning the
 opening or the filing or whatever
 proper name may be ascribed to the
 function. was the particularity of com | pliance with the instructions of the
 general land office in respect of the ! minutest detail This was carefully done that there might be no later cri- ticism that the actual settler did not have chance to get the land he | wanted.

AN ISLAND DEMONSTRATION.

krakatoa, the island that made it. self famous by a tremendous volcanic explosion in 1883. is recovering the vegetation that was then utterly de- stroyed. In 1886 number of plants had already established themselves or the devasted island. those in the in- terior being remarkably different from those on the coast. ferns especially preponderating. In 1897 further prog ress had been made, and in 1906 the forest trees had advanced so far as to make it evident that within a short time the island will again be densely forested. It is believed tha, the first plants to establish them selves on the blasted soil-such as ferns. algae. mosses. compositae and grasses-were borne thither by winds and that ocean currents were prob- ably the agents in the importation of the seeds and fruits.

.CH|CAGO OFFICE FOR
 LITTLE BUTTE coNs
Opened Recently By John w. Sharpe
 Who Is Home For the Holidays

Col. John w Sharpe has returned from two months stay in Chicago and vicinity to spend the holidays with his family. and will probably go east again soon after the holidays. . His business in the east is in connection with the opening of an office in Chi cago for the Little Butte Consolidated Mining company. of which he is presi- dent.
 Mir. Sharpe says it is not the purpose of the company to undertake a general exploitation or peddling of stock in small quantities as is generally under stood by a popular stock sale. but the company is ready to sell good sized blocks of it at proper price to men who have money for investment, To that end the company has opened an office on the ground floor of the Postal Telegraph building. next door to the board of trade. locality that is most frequented by men of large means in Chicago. and an effort will be made to dispose of sufficient stock to keep the treasury supplied with funds for development and equipment. He says money seems to be easier in the east than for sometime past and consider able Chicago capital is being directed to mining investments.
 MT. Sharpe no longer regards the Little Butte stock as a speculation, but as an investment. He says the com pany has proved mine, but it is mine and not prospect and therefore will require a large amount of capital to properly exploit it. It is sufficient ly developed now to prove itself to an investor on inspection and is. he be- lieves, legitimate proposition to put before capital. He expects through in- teresting moneyed men and taking them to the property for it's inspection. to find no embarrassment in securing all the capital required
 MT. Sharpe said he got on familiar terms with considerable real Chicago weather before he left for home, all of which make the home weather seem better than ever.
Arizona republican., 1909-12-23

Mention was made the other day of a plan to auction to the highest bidder lands for which there were more than one applicant. only the applicants to be allowed to bid. That rule applied only to those who were making filings under the privileges of all citizens. and not those holding settlers claims. for the settlers claim precedes that of the applicant who has not previously set tied. The clash referred to above was not settled by auction for the reason that all three applicants had settler s claims so hearing will have to be held to determine which has the best one.
 Yesterdays rush was but a spring. time zephyr compared to the hurri- cane that has been predicted for Feb ruary 5. when the lands adjacent to the Salt river valley that will be thrown open for settlement on Janu- ary 6. may be filed upon by scrip. des- ert land or homestead entry. It is ex- pected these lands will be very de- sirable because of their proximity to this valley and market and because of the possibility of the later purchase of power from the Salt river project, for their reclamation by pumping plants Already there are one or two com panies formed it is understood. or in the process of formation, having in view the filing upon lands by the re- spective members and later co-opera- ton in the procuring of a water. supply The practicability of this is yet to be demonstrated. but it looks good theo- retically. The lands in question are mainly in Paradise valley and beyond the eastern canal, east of Mesa City
