FIRE RATE REDUCED.

TUCSON. March 23.-By a new rs:s- ing of the board of fire GH&erwriters relative to Tucson, policies will be issued on brick or adobe mercantile buildings for a term of three years at twice the annual premium, accord ing to advices received by insurance writers here. A further reduction in the regularly published rate will be made provided the policy holder Is willing to accept the 70 per cent or greater co-insurance or reduced rate average clause. By so doing. 1t is claimed, that merchants of the city holding fire insurance will be able to save more than one-third of their insurance premiums.
 The new ruling will not apply to policies which have been in force for more. than 50 days past.

In 1909 the total quantity of gyp- sum mined in the United States was Z.252,7S5 short tons. an increase of nearly 3i per cent over the produc dOn Of l9GS which Nas 1,721,S29 shOr. tons. and an f1crease Of more than 2S per cent. over that of 1907. which was 1,751, JAS shoT, tons. There was a large increase in the quantity of gypsum sold without caIcining and used principally as land plaster and as an ingredient of Portland ce- ment and in paint, but a drop of about n cents a ton in value. The sales of gypsum calcined for plaster showed not only a large increase n quantity. but an increase in value at the mills. aFefasing nearly SO cents a ton. Gypsum was produced in six teen states and two territories be- sides Alaska. The largest production Eas reported from New York. Michi- gan and Iowa occupied second and hird places.

 The Payne-Aldrich JariE bill of 1909 reduced the import duties from 50 cents to 90 cents ton on crude gypsum and from s225 to S175 ton on ground or caicined gypsum. The increase in t0tal value of gyp- sum and gypsum profacts imported into the United States in 1909 over the value of the imports in 1908 was little less than 20 per cent; the iu- erase in domestic production was 3l per cent

FAMILY INVOLVED
 IN CATTLE THEFTS

pHOENIX. March 24-On the ap
 ,rati5n of W P. GesIy. district al ,orney Of Navajo county, presented hv Joseph r Woods, sheriff of the same county. Governor Sloan yester dav issued a requisition on the go eraor of Ncw Mexico for the return 10 Winslow. Arizona. of Newt Marley fugitive from justice. now in Ros 0eH. \. NJ sheriI Wood left last neht for Roswell to secure the pris oner whose arrest Was asked for by wire
 The charge against Marley Is that he conspired with his father aud folr brothers. in the stealing and
 tcherine on the range in that ~oanty. Of cattle that did not belong 70 them
 Some time ago publicity was given very sensational case in Mohave county in which well known cat,ieman was charged with similar lawlessness. The story was rather an interesting one and showed that the crime had been committed deiib erately and after careful planning At the same time casual mention was made that similar conspiracies had been carried out in ehe neighborhood of Winslow, but the facts were not published as the men were not in custody
 An affidavit made by O. L. Hart oi Coconino county, filed wish tine aT plication for requisition in the Mar ley case. recites that criminal pro ceedings in Navajo county charge that six Marleys. father and five sons with this cattle stealing conspiracy; that the other five have all been held to answer to the grand jury under bond of ,S5, ,O00 each and subsequent person al recognizance of $1,0e0 in eacl case; that Newt Marley had jeff the country and was in Albuquerque Feb. 13, 1911, on his way home wher he heard of the status of the acuon- against his relatives and decided tc stay away subsequently going tC Roswell
 The Mahave county case and th' Navajo county case are two of th' most notable violations of the tel ritorial laws in recent years in whici the livestock and sanitary board hai been interested and for a long time the inspectors and officers of tn board have been ferreting out tn, cases. They have been working Guie ly but vigorously, saying nothing a bringing the guilty parties to justic and if they produce convicting ev denee will surely earn the commend tion of eattlemen generally.
