FOREST LAND RELEASED

PHOENIX, July 4.-Action Of greatest importance to the state was taken by the state land board at heir meeing yesterday in the governors office At the suggestion of the for est service, the board voted to re- linquish to the federal government all state school lands within the va riOus forest reserves that are suit able for agriculture, so as to allow the government to have them enter ed upon and improved as homesteads.
 The total amount of land to be re- linquished is 6,322 acres located in six different forest reserves and is at present administered by the for est service and not by the state, land department
 In lieu of the land to DC relinquish- ed, the state will receive an equal amount of land outside the re- serves which will be rented by the state land department and will bring in as large, if not a larger income than under the present arrangement.
 ''This action of the land board, D said Governor Campbell last night, will result in the settlement of the land relinquished by homesteaders, which means more homes and morv population for the state"

SHIP ORE BY MAIL

TUCSON, July 4-When Marshal Kilburn. new star route contractor, started out on his first trip to Quitoja Wednesday he had yet to learn of what trouble awaited hini at the Scopes camp, six miles out of Oa- sis, for trouble had been piling up for him in the shape of Q big ship ment of high grade silver and gold ore, in 50-pOund sacks, each sack stamped with parcel post stamps, which under his contract he must haul, together with a miscellaneous assortment of packages to be brought in. All the contract calls for is three trips a week, at the rate of $15 per round trip.
 According to advices from Oasis. the Steppes are a family of three men, wives and mother. They have a high grade property which they work themselves. Until quite recent ly, they shipped their ore by truck. Recently, however, they concluded to ship the stuff by parcel post. Con sequently they allowed it to pile up until it reached 800 pounds. It will take some time for the star route carrier to deliver the stuff in the city, where it will be delivered by the Tucson postoffice to ware house here, but the Steppes are not pressed to get to a smelter for they are in the peculiar position of hay ing such a grade of ore that every shipments brings big profit.
 Samples of the ore brought to the city has excited considerable com ment among mining men, many of whom went to the camp and made substantial offers to buy the prop erty all of which were rejected. The Steppes, it is said, flatly refuse to sell the property and have been working along leisurely, living off their production and making prof it with crude shipment. Ever so of ten they send in a lead, which runs heavily in silver copper and gold.

ANOTHER SNAKE STORY

A tale comes from the Sahuarita district, 30 miles south of Tucson, which marks the opening of the sea son for snake stories. A family named Gomez. living upon a small ranch dhree miles from the station, were awakened a few nights ago by the violent cries of their 1S-months old child, sleeping in a small bed under the open window. Investiga- ton found a rattlesnake six feet long coiled in the baby's crib. It had al ready set it's poisoned fangs twice in the arm of the child, which was all ready swollen to double natural size and was rapidly turning black.
 The parents hurriedly applied all the remedies within their reach and rushed the baby to a small country store several miles away where they hoped to find advice and help. A retired physician was finally located on a ranch in the valley and by the time he was reached, the child had apparently begun an improvement which has continued until no further trouble from the venom is anticipat- ed. the only obscure pulnt III the

ARIZONA TO HAVE
 HERD OF BUFFALO

PHOENIX. July A. Arizona may come into the ownership of a herd of American buffalo, or bison, if the plans being worked out by the state game warden, Joe V. Prochaska, come Jo completion. He is negotiat- ing with the officials of the Wichita game preserve in the Wichita noun tains in the western part of Oklaho- ma, to exchange young antelope for buffalo
 The Wichita preserve has long had one of the most famous herds of bison eXtant and the officials are desirous of securing the antelope which the game warden is arranging to have trapped to make the ex- change.
 The buffalo herd, starting with about ten head, if secured, will be placed in the TOnto country, where they can be well cared for. q be lieve that everything possible should be done to preserve to posterity this greatest of American game ami mals,' said Prochaska yesterday "and We in Arizona should do our share to help perpetuate them

INDIANS ON PAROLE

PHOENIX, July 4.-Glimpses of by gone days such as seldom come with in the limits of even western city, were evident today when warriors from Pima, Maricopa and Apache tribes rode on parade through the business streets about il o'clock. The display of Indian hOrsemanship marked the opening of the annual fair held on the reservation near Fort McDowell, or 12 miles east of Central avenue on the Thomas road.
 Brief and not particularly spectac- ular, the parade this morning yet stood for something very significant, the friendly union of three powerful central Arizona tribes Not many years ago these same men or their fathers were riding in full war paint and feathers to wage a cruel war on each other. Now they can meet to- gether in friendly sports and pas times like tribesmen of the same clan
 Without the war paint or feathers, wearing broad smiles and led by peaceful but inspirited music by the Indian school band, the riders on pa rade marked a great step in the pro gress of the redskins under the care and tutelage of the government.

NEW GOLD BINDINGS


 GLOBE, July 4-Sam Morrow of this city has made a rich gold strike at the old sylvanite camp P miles from Hachita, N. M, in the Little Hatchet mountains. Gold was first discovered there in 1908, Morrow be- ing one of the discoverers. The firts product was placer in the mountain washes and rich float was found in many places.
 Morrow has been holding the property since 1908, spending practi- cally all of his earnings in an at tempt to find the lode from which the rich float and placer emanated. His labor was rewarded recently by the discovery of the mother lode, or at least one of them. The lode is 20 to 30 feet wide on the surface.
 Old timers from Cripple Creek, Colo, say the ledge is fonolite, the same formation gold as was found in Colorado. The best assays from Morrow's property ran S26S.S0 per ton in gold. He is not offering the property for sale but has organized a company and will start deveOlp- ment at once.

WILD WEST IN
 PARIS DENOTES
 JULY 4TH FETE
American Popcorn, Baseball, Flags, Everything Excepting
 American Heat Help Cement
 Friendship of Two Nations

PARIS, July 4-(By the Associated Press. IA gala performance Of Faust at the opera, with Marshal Foch and General Pershing as the spe- cially honored guests, concluded the notable joint French and American celebration of the Fourth of July. The day opened with an early review dem oustrating Frances participation in the American revolution and the eel ebration afforded varied entertain ment for the thousanGs of American soldiers marking time =n Paris while awaiting transportation homeward.
 Wild West on Champs Elysees
 There was even a real wild west pa rade down the Champs Elysees and through the Place de la Concorde, given by an American army circus, showing in Paris. The cowboys, cow girls and Indians riding gaily to the music of wild west band, proved far greater attraction to the French than the brilliant military spectacle.
 Popcorn, peanuts, lemonade and ice cream were offered in abundance by the various service canteens and flag sellers were displaying badges of the American colors everywhere. The weather man, however, did not offer sufficient heat to make it a typical American celebration and speed up the ball games and races. The sky was overcast the entire day.
 Foch Gets Great Ovation
 The tremendous ovation given Mar shal Foch at the American chamber of commerce luncheon and his re- sponses to demands for a speech, was one of the most pleasant features of the celebration. Marshal Foch was seated beside General Pershing at the luncheon. The address of General Pershing was supposed to conclude the program. but the 400 diners, in- cluding all the prominent members of the American colony, the British am bassador, and nearly all the South American diplomats in Paris, rose and insistently demanded a speech from Marshal Foch.
 Touches Glasses With Pershine
 The marshal spoke of the hearty CO., operation of the French and American troops and the common ideals of the two peoples, and proposed a toast to the victorious American armies,' which he drank after touching glasses with General Pershing. The applause continued for many minutes.
 Later in the afternoon there were scenes of Franco-American frater- nizing at the Paris city hall in honor of General Pershing, Rear Admiral Harry s. Knapp, commanding the American naval forces in European waters, and their staffs. There was much music and patriotic speeches, and Premier CIemenceau presented General Pershing with a souvenir symbolizing Frances gratitude to West Point, where the souvenir will eventually find a place.
 The day appropriateli was wound up with a series of banquets.
 A round of gieties was provided for American soldiers and sailors who found open house at the Y. M. C. A and other centers.
