SOLDIER PAY IS NOT
 so SMALL AS SEEMS
(From Fridays Daily)

Remarks having been made by Some that they felt sorry for the bride that would marry a soldier, drawing such meager pay, it may be well to remark for the edifeation of those uninformed, that a soldier, even though drawing the so-ealled meager salary, is in reality fully as well provided for as the average citizen.
 The pay TOT a private soldier on first enlistment is $15, and if ne qualities in craftsmanship there is ad- ded an additional amount, for marks man $2, sharpshOoter s and expert rifleman s, each month.
 Upon re-enlistment a still further remuneration is added.
 A soldier with several enlistments can draw $25 or $3O per month.
 The soldier is allowed a clothing allowance which is ample, and if he be careful of his clothing, can save a neat little sum from this fund.
 The soldier is furnished food and if married it is possible for him to have his meals at home.
 Upon discharge he is furnished 4 cents a mile from place of discharge to place of enlistment, which in many cases amounts to over $100.
 Further, a soldier has the option of buying any extras that he may need, from the Post Commissary, at cost price.
 Furthermore, he is given medical care free of charge, and his pay is not stopped when he is sick.
 Then again, the government employs many soldiers for extra duty, such as clerks, school teachers, switch board operators and laborers, etc, for which extra pay is allowed.

zone in which these mines are To-
 eated has been favorably regarded
 for many years in mining circles, ly-
 ing about two miles to the west of Mayer, and since development was started on these particular claims, a deep interest has been following the determination of the work by the
 Rainbow syndicate.
 MT. Nellis reached the city a few days ago from Phoenix, where he is residing at the present time. being summoned here to close up the deal. He is also interested in the French Lily mines near Turkey, mention of strike on which was made a short time ago in the Journal-Miner. He confirms this news and says that it IS developing into a magnificent prop- erty, and on which he eontemplates expending a considerable sum early this spring. He is one of the ener- getic and practical mining operators or thls county, and says that upon the resumption of the Humboldt smelter new era in mining is vel dent, and from what he can learn from the miners of the county tbis section should experience a very pros porous year from one end to the other. He will leave this evening for Phoe- nix, and expects to return in a few days to attend to his other mining interests. The interests of the pur- chasing companies in this deal were represented by F. F. Small. the gen eral manager of the Brooklyn-Arizona Mining company, while G. T. Seholey IS the mine foreman on the properties taken over. An increase in the force will be made at once, and the place improved on the surface, with ma chinery placed on the ground to op- crate to depth.

S25,OOO PAID FOR
 CLAIMS AT MAYER

Negotiations were closed in Pres colt yesterday by which William Nel- lis, the mining operator of the Mayer section, disposed of his one half interest in the Raymond and the Picnic groups to the Arizona Rain bow Mining company and the DeLion Securities and Realty company for $25,000. Of this amount heavy pay ment was made and the escrow pepers that were forwarded to the Phoenix National Bank call for the balance in short time payments. Included in the mining end of the deal two fine residences at Mayer go with the sale, which will be occupied by the men operating the properties.
 Last October the Raymond and Picnic group of claims were taken over for examination, and operated on lines to make careful determina- tions before being taken over. Grat- flying results have attended the work. and the belief prevails that the com bination is one of the best in the Mayer section in gold and copper values that has come to the front in recent years.
 During Mir. Nellis' ownership he expended a considerable sum in pros pecting them, and had not the sale taken place it was his intention to re- sume development on an extensive plan, immediately. The work shown on the group aggregates several hun dred feet, and during the past few months new ground that has been sunk with a shaft sixty-fve feet deep. gave the property such a good show ing that it was deemed advisable to close up the sale at once, on the strength that was evident in the ore bodies at the point recently opened, as well as in the old workings.

WALNUT GROVE IS
 SHOWING ACTIVITY
(From Saturdays Daily)

A. A. Moore of Walnut Grove, who is visiting in the city, gives a splen- did account of the mining and farm ing industry of that locality, saying That not in many years has there been the activity noticeable in quartz and placer operations es is shown at the present time. The latter is yielding considerable revenue at many points, and during the past fall and up to the coming of cold weather this winter several hundred dollars was the yield. AS a rule the individ- nal is engaged in sluieing and rock ing, and the only heavy undertaking is that of the Whitchett company, who are operating on something of a general line, covering a large do- main of ground.
 In quartz mining the old Captain Linn ground is under headway, while at the Hickey camp new machinery is on the ground and favorable re- ports are coming from the develop ment. Brady & Clark are also at work on their claims, and many other old properties are under development. Good results are attending the work, and hardly a week has passed but what investors were not in the dis triet looking over the field. It is re- ported that several sales are under headway; as a result of late exam nations.

It was learned yesterday that in a few days City Engineer Shotwen will be authorized to go ahead with the work of surveying the Murphy tract that has been rendered the city. The survey will be made in order that the domain may be properly marked by boundaries. This movement is desired by MT. Murphy and the City Council, and is taken as an indication that at the next meeting of this body the tract will be formally merged with other city properties, and the idea of a city park carried out as intended for the public use. In connection with the donation of the tract, it is but reasonable to anticipate at this time that when the deed is given the city by MT. Murphy it will be re- ieved of any restrictions as to the uses it will be subjected to by the municipality. In other words, it will be an open transaction and its beauti- full acres subjected to whatever priv ileges the city may wish.
 This being so, Mayor Goldwater, recognized by all as public spirited citizen, yesterday made the pleasing statement that should the tract be formally taken over, he will be in favor of having the Pioneers Home site changed to new and more fav- Orable location, if the Board of Con- trOl so desired, provided, however, the provisions of the deed to be given by MT.

 A SAD MISSION

I. s. MeCash, who was called to Las Cruces, N. NJ, on account of the eritieay illness of his brother A. W. McCash, has returned to the city and resumed his duties with the Bashford dBurmister Co. A few days after he reached his brothers side, death followed the long illness. The body was taken to the old home in Cincinnati, Ohio, accompanied by the mother, where it will be laid away in the family plot. The deceased was formerly the cashier of the Pres eott National Bank in this city. A wife and two children survive, and deep sympathy is extended them in their sad affliction.

He found the financial situation in those centers agreeable to mining in this county, and so far as the Little Daisy was to be considered, an en- thusiastie feeling was entertained when development was carried out as outlined. Supported by this spirit, operations on the group will be continued and carried out on lines that MT. Fisher has introduced, and in which he has received the endorse ment of the company.
 MT. Fisher says that he found the eastern market tempered with bright feeling, and in a mining in vestment channel Arizona was highly spoken of, Yavapai county being specifically mentioned. The desire of capital, he says, seems to be eentered toward development propositions, rather than taking over of established and where large sums of money were necessary for operating expenses. Altogether he was well pleased with the general outlook and so the good feeling that is prevailing in the enterprise he is handling, believing as they do, that when development is carried out on the property the capital placed will be shown to have been a judicious

The examination of National for est boundaries carried on by the for est officers last summer and fall upon the initiative of Secretary Wilson and under his direction, has resulted in new information, which will make it possible to restore to the unreserved public domain much land along the edges of and within forests that is not best suited to forest purposes. This is to be done under a plan just approved by President Taft. The plan was formulated by Secretary Wilson and Secretary Ballinger, joint ly, and submitted to the president in the following letter:
 February z, 1910. The President.
 The White House
 Sir: After having very carefully considered the matter of eliminations from and additions to the National forests, we respectfully recommend that the following general policy be adopted:
 l. Lands wholly or in part covered with brush or other undergrowth which protects stream flow or checks erosion on the watershed of any stream important to irrigation or to the water supply of any city, town, or community, or open lands on which trees may be grown, should be re- tained within the National forests, un- less their permanent value under cul- tivation is greater than their value as a protective forest.
 ?. Lands wholly or in part cov- cred with timber or undergrowth, or cut-over lands which are more valu- able for the production of trees than for agricultural crops, and lands densely stocked with young trees having a prospective value greater than the value of the land for agri- cultural purposes, should be retained within the National forests.
 3. Lands not either wholly or in part covered with trees or under growth, which are located above tim Der line within the forest boundary or in small bodies scattered through the forest, making elimination imprac- ticable, or limited areas which are necessarily included for a proper ad- ministrative boundary line, should be retained within the National forests.

TEMPORARY HITCH IN
 PLANS FOR HOME
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 Temporarily there is a hitch in the construction of the Pioneer Home for Arizonans, due to the readvertis- ing of plans for the building to be erected in this city. The Board of Control has asked for additional plans and specifications. Major DOran reach ed the city yesterday from Phoenix, where he was called as the superin- tendent, for consultation.
 Major DOran says that in the first place all plans carried too elaborate conditions, and it was the opinion of the board that the structure could not be built within the financial linn it's of the appropriation. The intent of the law is for the building of a home, and hospital features were not desired, and neither will they be en- tertained. The attractions of a home life were prominent in the discussion that followed the investigation of the. plans sent, and as these desirable features being lacking in all the five bids, the same were rejected.
 In speaking or what the board de- sires, Major Doran said that in the first pdaee architects should consider that a general assembly room, with large fireplace, is desired. A place is wanted where a number of people can lOiter around a spacious room, and discuss questions or entertain any number of visitors. A large reading room was also decided upon, where a library would be at the disposal of the members of the home, and which would have accommodations for many volumes. In addition it was desired to make this room a museum, where old time relies of the past could be displayed to good adanvtage. The Arizona Historical Society at Tucson. some time ago, intimated that it would bestow the home with the historical collection it owns, while the individ- nal has several that should be placed in a territorial institution such as is in this home.

and other productions is erroneous On the contrary, the climatic eondi- tions are favorable, and he antici- pates the biggest and best orchard yield the coming year in the history of that valley. Other yields would also come up to the normal, and he anticipated very prosperous year for all industries.
 Speaking of the withdrawal from entry of public lands in that sec ton, he said the general impression is that the government is in error in designating certain places, for these are covered by patent rights, and accordingly could not be dis turbed. Especially was this true of the site of the dam of the Walnut Grove Water Storage company, which in the official order is covered by this withdrawal proclamation, as well as other lands which are patented
 In harmony with the sentiment ex- pressed in that section, MT. Moore says the Pioneer Home for the Has sayamper is a project that is uni versally commended, and he hopes to see it erected at the earliest date. Mentioning the subject to Major Doran, the superintendent, yesterday, he made application for the best in the house, and was informed by the latter that when the plans are modi- fled and a roof garden addition is authorized, the former legislator and county official will be notified by a special messenger to come on.

R. A. BALLINGER,
Secretary of the Interio.

Secretary of the Interior
 A defnitition of the lines along which action should be taken was called for by the fact that reports and maps are now in the possession of the Department of Agriculture which shows the character of the lands and the cover along the lines of the National forest boundaries. The purpose of the department in se- curing this information was 60 make possible a correction of the bound aries on the principles now approved by the president, for it has never been intended that the National for ests should include agricultural land or grazing land not suitable for for est purposes. Plans for gathering the data were drawn up under Secretary Wilson's direction a year ago. and instructions for going over the co., GOO miles of boundaries were issued to the National forest officers last May. As result the boundaries can now be more carefully corrected than has ever before been possible.
 On the whole the changes which are found to be called for. are of relatively minor importance, but in their aggregate they open to settle ment large amount of land. The ap- pllcation of the rules which the president has approved will mean the early restoration to the public do- main of 4,0OO,OOO acres or more of National forest land. This is some thing over ? per cent of the total National forest area. Three-tenths of the forests have yet to be mapped.
 Some of the land is suitable for dry land agriculture, though the greater part is grazing land. In Ida ho, which has a large National forest area, about 47O,OOO acres will be eliminated, of which 34 per cent is tillable. Eliminations in similar pro- portion will be made in a number or the other western states which have large amounts of land in Ma tional forests.

roads in southern Arizona, the work being possible at this particular time on account of good climatic conditions prevailing. The places being worked are from Globe to the Roosevelt dam, from Globe to San Carlos, from Phoe- nix to Yuma, and from Douglas to the north. A force sf men is also employed at Florence in constructing the bridge across the Gila. It is also his purpose this summer to put bridge across the Verde river, but at what particular point he had not yet selected. Later he will make personal investigation of the site he desires for that structure.
 At what point the road will leave this city to the south will not be known until the locating engineers reach this section. It is probable that the work of building the grade will be by contract, under the super vision of MT. Girand's office.
 Much enthusiasm is manifested in the southern part of the territory over the work, and when the road is open ed to the north and travellers tan come from the south to visit the mag nifcent scenery and see the other at fractions along that route, the merit of the great undertaking will be Al. TN most popular general movement ever enacted in Arizona, and will be so proven.
