MILITIA TO PAY FOB LOST GOODS

MlLlTIAT TO PAY FOR LOST GOODS
Gross careltssness ou The part OF
some of the company officers OF the Vim
ginia volunteers in falling 10 care for
military property hss led Adjutabt Cen
sral w. W. Sale to take decisive steps
to prevent the great loss from this
source.
An order vas Issued yesterday by the
adjutapt general to the effect that the
value of any missing or worthless prop
erty which Ia not shown to have been
worn out 10 service or which ia not
otherwise satisfactorily accounted for at
the time of the annual state inspection,
will be deducted from the compsny's
funds. This divides the responsibility
to some extent, and 1t is hoped Will tend
to make every man more careful IN
handling the property Of the Stats and
of the War Department
Theoretically, the commanding officer
of each company is held personally re-
sponsible for any such losses, but 1t is
recognized that iuasmuch as these men
give their services without compensation
it would be perhaps hardship to make
them pay. Under the new order. how.
ever, 1t is believed that these officers will
be much more careful in future, for the
reason that carelessness in this regard
will cause direct loss to the company.
The War Department replaces any
property which is shown to 1t to have
been worn ont in the service of the or
ganized militia, but when such informa-
ton is missing the State is charged with
the cost of the material furnished. In
this way the State, some Of these days,
may have to pay a large sum to the de-
partment because of lack of proper care
In listing, watching and keeping track
of the supplies.
Instructions to company quarter-ma7-
ter-sergeants in looking after the prop.
erty may later be given by the quarter
master sergeant, who is employed by the
State Department, and who has had
much experience with the regular army.

SAYS RAILROAD CLAIMED
METAL LAND BY STAKE

The chamber of mines and oil has received
from o. r. W. Robinson, receiver OF the
local land office, a copy of Assistant Lana
Commissioner Proudfits ruling on the appi-
cation for natent made by the Southern Pa
cinc company covering certain lands along
the line of its old right Of way between Dag
gett and The Needles, San Bernardino county,
now used by the Santa Fe, in which II says;
''The special agent reports that almost in
variably the land selections can be designated
as on-mineral in character; that the south
ern Pacific Railroad company was guided IN
making its selections by the terms OF the
grant showing care in avoiding the lands ad-
iacent to those known to be mineral in char
acter, and that the few sections in its list
which he will recommend for segregation on
ccount of their mineral character nave most
likely got there by mistake"
Receiver Robinson in his letter to the cham
ber of mines and oil says all persons inter-
ested will be advised as soon as date IS set
for the hearing ordered by Commissioner
Proudht.
It will be remembered that the Southern
Pacific filed its application for patents to the
lands under consideration early last year,
being entitled under the provisions of the
original grant to the Atlantic & Pacific rail
way which was taken over by the southern
Pacific. TO every alternate odd-numbered sec
tion Of land, which was of more value for
agricultural than for mineral purposes along
the right of way.
Through the publicity given the matter by
the chamber Of mines, the miners and pros
pectors became aroused and as result
number filed protests covering sections which
were known to be more valuable for mineral
than for agricultural purposes Patent WITS,
therefore, withheld, and all parties interested
viii be given opportunity to be heard at
the hearing ordered by Proudfits ruling.
Secretary Swindell of the chamber of mines
and oil says Commissioner Proudft's ruling
will be brought to the attention of the board
of directors at its meeting tomorrow, in order
that decision may be made to any further
action to be taken by the chamber

CHEAP COPPER INJURIES
BUSINESS IN C0URTLAND

TUCSON, May 25.-"The COurtland
district is practically dead" said w. G..
Griffin, who has just returned from
that section. ut is all on account of
copper markets at the present time.
Quotations on the market are so low
that it does not pay to operate the
properties. Nearly everything is at a
standstill and CORTLAND is dead. From
city of 10000 six months ago it has
dwindled to a village of from 500 to
1000 souls, of whom half are MeXicans.
That's COurtland of today.
Three mines are working two shifts
of men each, including from ten to
twelve men to the shift. This is prac-
tically all the work that is going on
at the camp at the present time. The
town is deserted. More than half of
the houses are vacant. The hotels have
few guests. The storekeepers are com
planning because they have no trade.
one of the garages, which formerly did
the largest volumne of business, has
been removed.
"ThiS does not mean that CORTLAND
is a dead one for all time to come.
The section has vast possibilities. There
is copper in abundance there, and it
is only the present market quotations
which are keeping the place down.
Splendid opportunities are offered the
prospector, for the ore is unquestion-
ably there. 1t is only a matter of
how long the market will keep the
Diace down"
