Millions for Morenci and Clifton.

The good news comes from the coast that three millions of Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, New York and London money will be expended in the development and operation of copper properties here and in Clifton. One hundred and eight claims near Clifton, the properties ot the Copper Mines company, has been purchased from United States Senator Stephen Dorsey by the Arizona M orenci company. This company will install ,0CO-ton shelter. 1000 ton concentrator and aerial tramways The principal of fees of the corporation are in London, although former United States Sen ator McCreery. of New York. is the president. Tie expenditure of this money will mean additional prosperity for the Morenci- Clifton district.-Mo- renci Leader.

THE NEW MINING LAW.
Many Important Changes Requiring
 the Utmost Vigilance.

Many of the changes which have beer made by the new mining law o! Mexico over the old law are so radica that ignorance of them may cause the unlucky owner of a mining property tc find himself some day dispossessed ol unwittingly subject to heavy 6nc and imprisonrene.
 One the most important articles Is that providing for the registration of all mining titles. old and new, under penalty of forfeiture. Titles issus prior to the commence ment of the new law must be registered in their re spective district before July l. 1910
 A cause of much lltie ation and con- fusion under the old regime was the failure of mine owners to build sub stantisl monuments Under the new Ia W no title is issued until such monu ments have been placed.
 Properties titled under the old law must have their monuments built be- fore January l, 1911, or lose the right to the property should another de- nounoe it. The penalty for destroying or moving any monument is fine of $l. 900 and five years in the peniten- tiary.
 Any one removing ore f.om prop erty before title to same has been secured suffers the same penalty and the loss of the property
 Legal questions pertaining to min ing property are decided by the federal courts and in civil actions according to the provisions of the civil code of the Federal District.
 As the former privilege of unlimited exploration zones was much abused, these have been reduced to a circular zone with radius of 500 meters about any easily distin guishable point as center.
 Besides the above, other provisions have been made holding the mining agent and official surveyor to a strict responsibility for their work.-Ex

SPlNELESS CACTUS
Experiment Being Made by Forest
 Service

As result of correspo ndence with the Wizard' of the ve.etable king dom, MT Luther Burbank, the Forest Service has decided to undertake in small way various experiments with the spi neless cactus as range forage for stock. To this end Rosco G. Will sop, Supervisor of the Tonto National Forest, has ordered limited number of cuttings which will be set out with in rabbit and stock proof enclosures and then left to the ministration of Nature only. It Is absolutely neces- sary to protect these tender and suc- culept plants from rabbits, stock and other herbivorae, other wise they would quickly be eaten out roots and all
 Should the proposed experiment suc ceed in demonstrating that spineless cactus can be cheaply and politically grown on practically desert are,s, ard without any artificial aid beyond the protection given by fencing, the Ari- zona stock men will then be in a posi- tion to insure themselves against a bad year by the simple expedient of plant ing and holding in reserve few acres of this thirst quenching and nutritious plant. The possibilities of the spine less cactus are marvellous and we shall watch with intercsJ the experiments on the Tonto.
