MEN NEEDED To
PROTECT THE
FORESTS
BIG PERCENTAGE OF
FIRES CAN BE PREVENTED
This is Opinion Of Chief For
ester Graves Who Declares
Adequate Force of Rangers
is Required for Work.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Forest fires,
their destructiveness, cause and pre-
report of Henry S. Graves, chief for
ester. made public today. He says
that in the organization and admins
tration Of the national forests
the most important consideration is
their protection from fire.
I'm forest fully organized with
adequate means of transportation and
communication and a sufficient force
of rangers and guards the risk from
fire is small" he said.
Mr.. Graves says that S4 per cent of
the fires in 1909 were due to the lack
of preventive care on the part of the
users of the forests and of the rail-
roads traversng them.
HE suggests that the railroads be
required either to use efficient spark
arresters or to burn oil
-Four per cent of the fires for 1909
were from incendiarism and ~ per
cent from lightning.
'1ncendiarism," he says, "can be
stopped. partly through education of
the public and partly through in
creased watching of the forest, which
will result in the apprehension and
punishment of incendiaries.'
The approximate total stand of
timber in national forests, exclusive of
Alaska, according to the report, is
$50, 100000 feet. Though the
stand of timber in the two national
forests in Alaska is believed to be
very large, not even a rough estimate
can be made.
about 62 per cent of the total
estimated stand on the national for
ests, exclusive of Alaska, is in the
three Pacific coast states" says the
report, "21 per cent in Idaho and
Montana and IL per cent in Arizona.
Colorado and New Mexico This leaves
only 5 per cent elsewhere. In the
order of their importance the five
states containing the bulk of ma
tional forest timber are Oregon. Cali
fornia Washington, Idaho and Mon
tana."
The total cut of timber last year
was 4S4,412,000 feet, an increase over
the previous year of 26,773,000 feet
or the former, 379,616, 900 feet was
cut under sale and 104 1895, 900 feet
under free use. The amount of
timber sold in the fiscal year 1910 was
574, 4,555,0O0 feet, valued at $1,400,

Melrose. N. M, Dec. 29.--J. T.
Browning of this city, chairman of
the board of commissioners of Curry

New York. Dec. 30.--Prices made
further advances during the early ses-
sion on the stock exchange today hut
the movement was narrower and the
total outturn of nominal proportions.
Gains were registered by a majority OF
the better known issues.
Bonds were again fairly active but
the largest part OF the business IN
these securities was transacted by
direct and private sales. There Is rea-
son to believe that Europe has pur-
chased extensively Of certain nigh
grade railroad bonds during the last
fortnight.
A rise in call money to per cent
the highest rate since the first week
Of the year and decline in foreign
exchange 10 4S4.-Sb, the lowest Level
since the panic OF 1907, were rather
more noteworthy than events in the
stock market itself The advance in
call money was ascribed to calling OF
loans by local institutions TO meet
year-end requirements.
According to forecasts. banks in the
clearing house ought to gain from W.

FEAR TOURISTS WILL
FILL UP GRAND CANYON
BY THROWING ROCKS

Phoenix. Ariz, Dec 29--As con-
quering heroes. Harry Welch, secre-
tary of the board of trade. and Eu-
gene stewart Of the Arizona Demo-
crat. returned yesterday from the
Grand Canyon, They ventured down
into the canyon in a binding snow
storm and upon their return were
decorated with medals by the other
guests at El Tovar.
Welch and Stewart left Phoenix
saturday night, and arrived at the
canyon on the morning of Christmas
day. They spent that day wandering
along the rim and wondering what
the Santa Fe Railway company could
have been thinking OF when 1t dug
that big ditch. Early Monday they
set out for the bottom. down the
Bright Angel trail. heavy snow
was falling and only two or three
other persons were brave enough to
venture out Everyone told the har-
dy adventurers that they were taking
their lives In their hands. but IL was
then or never for the Phopecians,
who knew that they would have to
hurry back Monday night or the
wheels of progress in the Capital city
would cease their grinding.
While IL was showing on the rim II
was Falhthk IN the ueptns OF the can
yon. The party ate lunch under a
biz rock and then struggled back to-
ward the snow. IL was a rough trip.
but they all enjoyed it and vowed to
return In the summer.
Both Welch and Stewart say that
FL Tovar Is the finest hotel they have
found In Arizona. They also think
that the canyon is being managed I'm
an efficient manner. but say that
there ought to be a drastic law to
prevent idle tourists tossing rocks in
20 the hig fissure II that practice
isn't stopped the canyon will be fill
ed up in the course Of few quad
rillion years.

SILVER MINES At
LAKE VALLEY TO
Be RE-0PENED
FAMOUS OLD PROPERTIES
TO WORK THIRTY MEN
One Claim Alone Produced
S5,000,000 in White Metal;
Mines North of Kingston May
Resume Work,
Especial Correspondence to Morning Journall

Especial Correspondence to Morning Journal
Hillsboro, n. NJ, Dec. 2S.-An-
nouncement has just been made here
that the famous silver mines at Lake
Valley, owned by the Lake Valley
Mines company are to be reopened at
once. Thirty men will be employed at
first, and the management Will be in
the hands of Mr. Nichols, who was
until recently mill superintendent of
the Statehood Mines company.
These mines produced enormous
values in the days before silver was
demonetized one OF the claims
known to fame as the Bridal Cham
ber, produced over $5,00O,00O. No
great depth has been attained on any
of these claims, but most Of the very
rich ore near the surface was taken
out There are, however, millions of
tons of low grade ore in sight which
average sufficiently well in silver to
pay on a large scale, and in addition
the ore contains high percentage OF
manganese and other minerals which
can be saved ana marketed at a prof
it.
The announcement OF the reopening
Of these mines has caused much re-
joicing in this country, as the silver
mining industry was one OIL the most
important in the county.
There is now talk of opening up
some OF the old mines north of Kings
ton, where more work has been done
in the last few months than was re-
quired for assessment purposes
1t is reported that sharp rise in
the price of silver is looked for, due
to the revolution in Old Mexico, where
the operations of the insurrectos and
the regular troops are beginning to
interfere with the operation of the
mines in the affected districts. Mex
leo is the largest silver producing
country in the world and II its output
should be reduced by Internal war,
this country would reap the benefit.

Lake Valley Mines, returned from
Chicago just before the Christmas
