BIG LAND DEALS
 ARE CONSUMMATED
(From Saturdays Daily)


 From the rapid manner in which land sales are being consummated by the Hassayampa Alfalfa Farms Com- pany, in Lonesome valley, under the direction of Lloyd Sigler, it is prac- ,tically assured that Yavapai county in due time will have one of the most thrifty and prosperous communities in the West.
 Yesterday large and important deal was closed, by which Pugh Brothers and l5 associate investors of Salt River valley, acquired large do main. The investors are on the ground, have made observations and as practical farmers are appreciative of the opportunities offered. Other settlers have entered that section and during the past 30 days % bonahde sales have been closed up. All buy CTS are thoroughly trained in practical farming and each has the necessary capital to invest as well as to meet current expenses and improvements. The high class character of the ins vestors IS an essential feature now facing this attractive land movement, and assures successful undertaking. Mir. Sigler IS the driving power be- hind this desirable proposition. At the present rate of sales the tract of 5000 acres will be absorbed in a short time and already an expansion of the irrigated holdings is under consider ation. During the trip of inspection last week of James F. Watson, Enos Porter, Fred R. Smith and J. R. Fink elstein. of Indiana, principals of the Hassayampa company, it was under consideration to add another 5000 acre irrigated unit and make provis, ions for early construction of second water storage dam on Willow creek, when with the combined water re- sources over 10000 acres could easily be developed.
 Two factors are figuring in the re- generation of this land movement The soil is fertile and the opportuni- ties for success are without a parallel from a commercial standpoint in the Southwest The project has two wide fields 10 draw on, the mining country tributary to Prescott and Jerome. Both communities are passing through an era from which stability and pros perity are assured for years to come, and it is this fact which brings in the new home builder as well as the prac- tical farmer.

 This information was received in I telegram and while the end was expected the loss of this beloved wom- m who was so universally we'll liked from one end to the other of Arizona occasioned expressions of profound sorrow
 Mrs. Hance had resided in this and other sections of the State since 1876, and her life was graced with many virtues, in which the home was made beautiful and those near and dear were extended that affection and de- votion of dutiful wife and sacrificing mother. In other spheres was Mrs. Hance highly esteemed and through her kindly nature did she contract the fatal affiiction of tuberculosis about year ago in administering to the care of another, which ended in her life paying the penalty.
 She was born in Alabama on Feb ruary l2, 1855.

Dr. and Mrs Kctchersidc are bringing the remains, and services will be held at Rufner's funeral parlors.

CAMERONS CLAIM TO
 CANYON LAND DENIED
lFrom Sundays Dallvl

The claim of Ralph H. Cameron, former delegate in congress from Arizona, that the department of the interior lacks authority to determine the character of government lands and whether the mining claim laws have been lived up to unless the claim ant files request for patent to the land was denied last week in an op- inion of the District Court of Appeals rendered by Justice Robb. The court reverses the finding of the District Supreme court, which had adopted the view of Mir. Cameron.
 The land in controversy is included within the reserve for the national park and national monument in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. The claims staked out by Mir. Cameron are said to command many of the strategic points of interest in the park, and if his contention had been sustained, it is said, might have in- terfered with its development.
 Mir. Cameron refused to apply for patent to the land and Secretary Lane began proceedings before the land of- flee in Arizona to determine the char acter of the land and if a discovery of mineral had been made. Mir. Cam eron brought suit in the District Su- prcme court for an injunction to pre- vent Secretary Lane from proceeding with the investigation, and urged that a suit must be instituted in the Ari- zona courts before the government could interfere with his possession.
 The lower court adopted this view, but Justice Robb reverses the finding and approves the contention of the secretary of the interior that he has exclusive jurisdiction to determine these questions.
