heads:
1. The Manchurian Tartars govern

They violate Chinese rights-inalienable

TRIO OF ACCIDENTS BOUTS THE HOO-

Mining and Railroad Men Firmly Believe in Evil of Number

Bisbee, Arizona, April 27-Employ- ees of the Fl Paso 6 Southwestern are breathing freely again. The trip let of accidents that was inaugurated by the accident to c. E. Van Wye in Crooks tunnel has run the gauntlet of the hoodoo number. The trio of accidents has materialized and the jinx has turned his attention to other fields. Both mining men and railroad men believe firmly in the hoodoo number "3" When an accident oc- CUTS in the mines miners breathlessly await the rounding out of the num- Der.
 The potency of the number, in so far as mine and railroad accidents are concerned, is borne out by mine re- cords in many instances, and the sup erstition is also respected by railroad and mine physicians.

GREENE CATTLE CO, SELLS RANCH IN ARIZONA FOR
S4OO,OOO

What is said to be the largest cat tie deal ever made in Arizona, has just been conducted at Fairbanks, whereby H. E. Jastro of the Bo- quillas Land & Cattle company pur- chased the range and cattle of the Greene Cattle company in Arizona and Sonora for $400,000. The deed has just been filed at Tombstone.
 The sale includes the San Rafael del Valle grant of the Greene Cattle company comprising 17,474.93 acres in Cochise County, besides over 50 smaller ranches on the O. R. range along the San Pedro river and the Huachuca mountains to the Sonora line. This is part of a continuous range of IS miles in Cochise county In Mexico the transfer includes a range of 60 miles long and many thousands of cattle.
 The company will now have land area greater than that of several eastern states. It is 90 miles in length and varies from to 20 miles | in width. It starts near Benson and continues in an unbroken chain into Mexico.
 In Arizona, the Boquillas company acquired 2,000 head of cattle, besides dairy farm of 162 COWS and 15S COW ponies and all the Hereford ranch holdings, stores and property of the Greene company. H. K. Street is to be manager of the vast estate. 1 Associated with MT. Jastro, it is stated, is W. S. Tevis, the California land and cattle king, whose son and representative, W. S..

 JAIL FOR MURDER. Charged With Killing Monte Wood ward. East of QauuIas in 1904.

ward, East or OOu9IdS m 1SU4.
 After the lapse of six years George Marlor is now in the county jail at Tombstone, charged with the murder of an old man named Monte Wool ward, some ten miles east Of Doug las in the year 1904. Woodward was the owner of a goat ranch and lived alone in his cabin. One day his dead body was found which showed signs of having had life beaten out of it by some assailant. The find ing. of old man Woodward's dead and scared body cause much interest in this vicinity as he was liked by all who knew him.
 An axe found after the murder showed that it had been used as one of the instruments of death and this has since been in the possession of John H. Slaughter, who brought it to the city and turned it over to Sher- if Wheeler as evidence in the case
 Marlor, who is accused of the mur- der of Woodward appeared in TomD- self to the sheriff's office to answer the charge which he had been told was to be lodged against him. Re gently the officials have been active in this case and Sheriff Wheeler went to Texas and brought Walter Mcdaniel from that state, who, it is said will be the principal witness against Marlor.
 MarlOr has made no statement in regard to his case, simply telling the officers that he had surrendered on the advice of his attorney.

ASBESTOS DEPOSITS
 IN GRAND CANYON.
Bed Reported One Mile in Length
 and Several Feet Deep.

Tucson, Arizona Tn the Grand Canyon of the Colorado below Bass camp, one of three known localities of asbestos, in sixty miles of the great chasm, a small amount of develop ment work was done, but no ship ments were reported in 1911.
 The 1500 pound sample of asbes- tos from this locality sent by E. B. Pike of New York to Germany for test, was reported entirely satisfac- tory and of superior quality, says the Mining and Engineering world. Elec- tricaI engineers in search of asbestos free from magnetic have carefully tested this asbestos and reported it excellent. Its high grade in this re- gard is a consequence of it's origin ill limestone. The lineal extent of the deposit is great, about a mile or more in each locality, though it's thickness is only a few feet. On the other hand, the proportion or the high grade crude to mill stock is much larger than in any other asbestos deposit with which the writer is acquainted.
 If the water power of Shinumo creek can be made available it would enable the operator to overcome all difficulties of transportation from the bottom of the canyon.

TRANSVAAL COMPANY
 FILES PROPERTY LIST. Mexican TrouDies Retarding Develop


 ment of the Property
 Douglas, Arizona, April 27-H. c. Beauchamp, general manager of the TranSvaal mines, near CumpaS, ar rived in the city this morning, return ing here from Nogales, Sonora, where he had been for the purpose of filing with the American consul in that town list of the personal property, with it's value, owned by the Transvaal company in Mexico, which includes the smelling plant at Cumpas, many residence and office buildings there and at the mines which are located some eighteen miles away.
 MT. Beauchamp stated that this ac- tion had been taken in accordance with the direction of the recent pro- clamation of President Taft and was not on account of any recent troubles in the country around Cumpas, as that section has been very peaceful and quiet since the end of the Madero re- volution about year ago. However, as a precautiOn it was deemed the part of wisdom to file the list of prop erty with the American consul within that jurisdiction.
 MT. Beauchamp stated that the present trouble in Mexico was retard- ing progress of the Transvaal enter prises, as with copper at sixteen cents his company could soon be plac- ed in the producing class, but that on account of the present troubled condi- tiOn in that country the owners of the property were hesitating on the pro- position of starting the proposed new concentrator and other improvements, though development work is being continued with some seventy five men.

Two Winslow boys caught a burg lar but he got away. Their parents left them alone and soon after the attention of the two boys was attract ed by a noise in a clothes closet
 Slipping into the room in which the closet was located, Sherman, the eld- CT of the two, slammed shut the closet door and locked it. The boys badly frightened, ran into another room and locked themselves in. In the mean time the burglar found a single-barrel- ed shotgun in the closet, and using the butt of the weapon, smashed out a panel of the door and made his es- cape. He obtained nothing of value.

LAST OF MINE STORE
 HOOTERS ARRESTED
Three Men in Deal; One Killed by Sheriff, One to Hang; Caught
 in Fl Paso

Lordsburg, N M., April 27.-Sher- if McGrath has got the third and last of the holdup men who robbed J M. Sully, manager of the Chino Copper company last August, and who thought they were going to get the company S payroll, but luckily the money was not in the auto when it was held up. His name is Kid Lee, and he has been identified as one of the three men. He was arrested in Fl Paso. He had been in Fl Paso and got scared and went to Mexico, where he remained until he thought he was forgotten, and last week ventured over again and was arrested. He is the only one of the three robbers who will be tried for the crime. One of them was kill ed by Sheriff Stephens in the fight with the jail breakers up in Socorro county, the second was in the fight and was later arrested, tried and con victed of murder, and sentenced to be hung on the sixth of next month. The two cases were as satisfactorily disposed of as if they had been tried and convicted for the Chino holdup.

NEW KIND OF PUBLIC
 LAND WITHDRAWAL
Executive Orders in Aid of Small
 Stock Owners

Executive Orders in Aid of Small
 Stock Owners.
 Withdrawal of public lands for use rather than from use is the latest piece of practical conservation. The President, by Executive Order, under the withdrawal law has withdrawn from entry many tracts of unapprop- riated public lands which contain springs or small streams. These watering places control the public range over large areas in Utah and Wyoming, and the withdrawal of these lands will in no wise interfere with the use of the springs or streams but will in fact insure the possibility of public use. Control of watering places by strong private interests and the resultant monopoliZation of graz ing on the public domain are believed to be prejudicial to public interest, and the President regards the setting aside of these watering places for pub lie use as serving distinct and bene-
