GERONIMO co. IN ORE

D. J. Shea, president of the Geron- imo Mining Co.,, operating in Graham county, has left the property for his home in Newport, R. l. Mr. Shea expects to establish his headquarters in Newport and will open branch of fices in New York, Boston and Chi cago
 A double compartment working shaft, which was started on the Heck CT group of claims some time ago, has reached a depth of 25 feet. Ore has been taken from the bottom of this shaft, which, according to the miners, will run between 4 and per cent cop per. This is the highest grade ore yet found on the Geronimo property The company expects to begin shipping ore from this shaft in week or two
 The three drills which are operating on the property are all down over a hundred feet, and, according to the en- gineer's report, are in ore all the way. But one end of the property, the west end, yet remains unexplored, and the company proposes to start an explora- tion shaft there at the end of the month Stafford Guardian

STRIKERS COMPOSED OF
 .VIlLiSTA SYMPATHIZERS

The fact that a portion of the Ajo strikers had become the nucleus of a Villa volunteer force forming just over the line south of Ajo, emphasizes a condition with which the mining in dustry in Arizona has had to contend It is men such as these Villistas, who are like putty in the hands of profes. sional labor agitators, who are damag- ing the cause and the reputation of la Dor. They predominted in the recent strike at Ajo and notwithstanding that officials of the unions involved were ordered to return to work following the refusal of their demands, later ad- vices said that of the men remaining idle and participating in Edemonstra- tions, three-fourths of them were Mex jeans.
 It was from these, presumably, that the Villa volunteer force was recruit ed It is for such "Americans' as these that the Western Federation of Miners appeals for public sympathy
 Scenting strife as carrion crow scents a carcass, it's organizers were first on the scene, ready to flout the law and treat authority with con tempt. The Mexican strikers who were reported in the news as having entered Mexico in a band, are as ready to contribute to the chaos in Mexico as they were to make trouble at Ajo. The development shows clear ly condition with which the people of the state must deal.-Arizona Star.

NORMAN ]. JOHNSON PROBES ROAD
 FRAUDS
District Attorney Puts an Accountant to Work on the Department Books.

GLOBE, Dec 12.-Following the adoption of resolution by the board of supervisors giving him full power to act, District Attorney Norman J. Johnson has commenced a vigorous investigation into the affairs of the county road department. He has one accountant now at worK and has ar ranged for the employment of com petent engineer and additional expert accountants.
 Immediately after he was informed of the action of the supervisors the district attorney put an expert account ant at work checking up the supplies and material which have been pur- chased by the department in question.
 As soon as this is finished, a re- check will be instituted to determine the amount of supplies on hand in or der that basis may be furnished for an accurate computation of the am- ount of material which has been used upon the roads.

 ''Inasmuch as the present demand for grazing privileges on a majority of the National Forests" says the re- port, far exceeds the carrying capa- city, the stockmen using the National Forest range are enjoying special privileges over those who must pay for range on a competitive basis or do without. This has created a situa- tion which calls for the proposed re- adjustment. Before final action is taken an opportunity will be given for all parties interested to be heard"

FIRST ARREST UNDER NEW DRY
 LAW

BISBEE, Dec 1S.-The first arrest
 in this part of the state for violation
 of the new prohibition amendment pro
 hibiting the transportation of booze in this state was made this week by
 Constable O.. E, Patterson, of Apache,
 anll sSas followed by an exciting chase
 wflch Tesnhedas in the confiscation of 20 easss.sof whfskey smuggled into
 this state from Rodeo, N. M. s Pattersdn went to Chiricahua Friday 'hight to attend a dance. Early in. the morning he saw a car pass through that place and stop short distance
 beyond. Patterson strolled down to [ the car sand found that it was filled with booze. Two men, one of them tIafry Wilson, well known police character, were fixing a tire on the car. On 3seeing the booze Paterson immediately p4Sced the two men un- der arrest. While he and Wilson were standing beside the car, the other man who was sitting at the wheel, sudden W let in the clutch and Speeded away in the dark.
 Paterson, with Wilson in tow, ran !.ack to Chiricahua and jumped into his car. The other man drove the booze car on flat tire until the tire had been completely worn off. the rim ripped to pieces and the spokes of the
 -vhcel worn down almost to the hub.
 mother tire gave way under the strain and the driver abandoned the machine several yards away from the
 road.
 Patterson, in the meantime, drove as quickly as possible to Douglas, hop ing to overtake the man. He did not see the abandoned car by the road but, after locking Wilson up there, re- traced his route in the daylight and located it. The booze was transfer
 red to his machine and another one
 and taken to Douglas.
 Wilson and the 20 cases of booze were taken to Tombstone through Bis bee by Patterson and Deputy Sheriff Percy Bowden. Wilson claims that he accompanied the other man to Ro- leO to show him the route, and that he did not have anything to do with the hooze. He admits, it is claimed, that the machine was his. Patterson says he knows the other man by sight, but does not know his name.
 Wilson was convicted in the su- perior court Of selling intoxicating liquor and served time in the county jail. He was released on a two year suspended sentence.

A COCH|SE COUNTY MAN INVENTS
 LETTER

Cochise county has again come to the front through Gleeson man who has invented an envelope that is des- tined to revolutionize expense of cleri- cal work with large corporations and mail order houses, or in fact will be a boon to any company or individual that handles letters in large quanti- ties
 The inventor is R. l.. Moore, agent for the Arizona Eastern R. R. at that place, and incidentally Justice of the Peace of the GIeeson precinct and what prompted him to invent the new article, he says, was the present and growing scarcity of paper in the Unit ed States. Save paper" continuously being harped upon by the government and by the railroad" stated the in- ventor, who was in Tombstone enroute to Los Angeles on business connected with the manufacture of his product, was what gave me the idea of trying to find a way of saving the envelope in correspondence work. Another was the saving in time of addressing the envelope and the third is the inex- pensiveness of the compact letter head and envelope while still another is the fact that there is no chance for one mans mail to be mailed in the wrong envelope, as happens in large offices where there are thousands of letters written daily"
 Briefly, the invention is nothing more than a piece of paper, letter head size, both edges being perforated from fA width and gummed half way on each side, as the flap of an envelope. The regular letter head is printed at the top with date line, and on the back at the top in the corner is print completes the compact letter and en- velope. To write a letter the top, half of the letter is turned back just below the date line, and in this flap is inserted a carbon, especially pro- yided for which when tTIe address is written, it is carboned on the flap, so that when the letter is completed all that is necessary to be ready for mailing is to moisten both outside flaps and gum together. The enve- lope is then completed as it has all ready been addressed by the carbon. All it takes then is the stamp and it is ready for mailing. When the man at the other end receives the letter all he has to do is to tear both ends off the envelope at the perfcrations and he opens out his letter If there are any enclosures they may be pIac- ed inside the letter before being gum med
 MT. Moore has a patent on seven different models of the envelope and he is protected in every state in the United States. He has already sold the rights to Ohio and Arizona for substantial royalty and he vii! nIace the manufacture of the product in Los Angeles on his present trip controlling the balance of the states himself The arrangement is a simple one and is taking like wildfire among the big concerns, who already see saving not only i1 cost of envelopes but in time of stenographic work. and Ir. Moore is destined to become ildnp0 nd ert from the income of his produc - Tombstone Prospector.

NATIONAL FOREST BUSINESS
 IS EXPANDING.

Washington, Dec. 12-National For est administration last year was char acterinzed, according to Henry S. Graves, chief of the Forest Service, in his annual report which has just been published, by an increase of more than $340,O00 in receipts. The total receipts were over $2,S00,G ,G00. Rapid progress in land classification and in road building, and relatively small losses from forest fires, are re- ported
 The receipts from timber were over $1,400,000, 20 per cent increase, while grazing receipts were $1,200,000 and water power rentals brought in $1O0,000. At present" says MT. Graves, the receipts from the Nation al Forests are approximately three fourths of what it costs to protect them and carry on the current busi- ness" A steady increase in the re- turns from the National Forests is expected.
 The returns from grazing will in- crease in consequence of range i'm provement and the development of new range, it is stated. A moderate annual increase for three years in the grazing fee is also contemplated, which, if put into operation, will even tually increase the grazing receipts more than $SOO,OO0 year
 The report quotes instances to show that grazing fees on private or Indian lands adjacent to the National Forests are much higher than those now charg ed for National Forest range. In one locality in Montana, it is stated, S1 cents per head was paid for grazing

J. $. FISH HATCHERY ESTABLISHED IN
 ARIZONA

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The house has passed an omnibus bill authoriz- ing the establishment of Is new fish hatcheries in the United States The bill includes a bill introduced by Rep resentative Carl Hayden, which pro vides, that one of these hatcheries shall be located in Arizona and $5O,O ,O0O is authorized to be expended for this purpose - It is expected that this bill will pass the senate in the near future so that the new Arizona hatchery should be in operation within the next IS months.;i Its establishment will greatly improve the facilities for stock ing the ponds and streams of Arizona with suitable varieties of fish and thus develop new source of food supply which should aid in the present strug-' gle against the high cost of living.
 It has been demonstrated that an acre of water on farm may be made to equal an acre of the best. land for producing food and the bureau of fisheries is endeayoring to stock the minor ponds, natural or artificial, in order to distribute fish food as wide ly as possible over the interior, of the country Assignments of fish by the bureau are made large enough to form the nucleus for a brood stock for given area of water, and are deliv- cred at the applicants railroad station by special fish transporting cars Pending the construction of the Ari- zona hatchery lingering fish from other hatcheries for distribution to in- dividuals for stocking public and pri- vate waters in Arizona will be sup piled by the bureau of fisheries to those who apply. Blanks upon which to submit formal application for fish will be furnished on request by Hon. Carl Hayden, congressman from Ari- ZOna

BUCKEYE BANDITS CAUGHT

PHOENIX, AriZ. Dec. 1S.-Two of the five MeXicans, who robbed the Buckeye Valley bank on December , and killed Charles Miner, bystander, have been captured on the. Mexican border near Sasabe, according to re- ports reaching this city. The men are thought to be Manuel Garcia and Fran cisco Rivera.
