SOME MOISTURE IN ARIZONA.
State Report Shows Month of July
 Wettest in Twenty-One Years

With one possible exception, the month of November, 1905, last month was the wetteSt in the twenty one years of records kept by the weather bureau in Phoenix. This became known with the recent publication of the bureaus regular crop and range summary, which says:
 Complete returns from CO., operative stations throughout the state show how general and abundant was the rainfall dur ing July and how favorable 8. month it was for stock and ranges. Southern Piral county reports more than Il inches since July |; Elgin, Santa Cruz county, Williams, ,Coconino. 10. 47 inches, while the average for P stations scattered over the state, was 5.16 inches.
 Reports for the week ending August 4, show still further inn provement in stock and range conditions which were already better than normal. The ob- server at Pinto, Apache county, states that cattle and ranges have never been better; Pine dale, Navajo county, reports cattle fattening. Iu both these sections cattle suffered severely last winter.
 A factor of some importance is found in the lighter stocking of the ranges this year, a con dition which improves the pros pect of good winter forage.
 Moderate to heavy rainfall and below normal temperatures have characterized the past week. Crops generally over the state have progressed we'll un- der these conditions, showing normal development or better. In dry farming sections the pros- poets are excellent. No mention is made of damage from insect pests. As a result of the heavy rainfall, cotton grown in the Salt River Valley has continued to rank on heavy soils though there has been little. shedding. Weeds also have become more troublesome. On sandy soils comprising perhaps one fourth of the acreage the abundant rain has been decided advantage"

NO ASSESSMENT WORK IN 1919.
House Passes Joint Resolution Sus- pending Labor on Mining Claims.

Congressman Carl Hayden in a recent letter to the press of Arizona says:
 II am glad to advise you that the house has passed a joint re- solution to suspend the require
 ment of assessment work on mining claims during the year 1919, which is the same as the exemption granted by congress in 1917 and 1918 except that this new act provides that no such suspension shall be granted to any one claimant for more than five claims" The joint resolu- tion also applies to oil placer locations, which was not the case heretofore.
 The full text of the resolution reads as follows:
 Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives Of the United States of America in Con- gress assembled. That the pro- vision of section 2324 of the Re vised Statutes of the United States which requires on each mining claim located, and until patent has been issued there fore, not less than S1OO worth of labor to be performed or inn provements aggrega ting such amount to be made each year, be, and the same is hereby, sus. pended during the calendar year 1919. Provided, That no such suspension shall be granted to any one claimant for more than five claims: Provided, That every claimant of any such min ing claim in order to obtain the benefits of this resolution shall file or cause to be filed in the office where the location notice or certificate is recorded, on or before December 31, 1919, a mo- tice of his desire to hold said mining claim under this resolu tion. 1z-. .-.a .-.---.-----
 Sec. ?. That this resolution shall not be construed to alter, modify, amend, or repeal the public resolution entitled Joint resolution to relieve the owners of mining claims who have been mustered in the military or naval service of the United States as officers or enlisted men from per- forming assessment work during the term of such service,' ap- proved July IF, 1917.'

PATAGONIA ANTIQUITIES.

Through the activity of Con P. Cronin, state librarian, the state will come into possession of an interesting find in Patago- mia. Some workmen engaged in making excavation for Col. R.. R. Richardson came upon a a burial urn containing human bones. MT. Cronin heard of it and, being an old friend of Col. Richardson wrote him soliciting the urn and it's contents as a contribution to the antiquities of the state. A letter from Colonel Richardson, said that the urn had been sent.
 MT. Cronin is making an effort in every direction to establish a collection of these relics of the prehistoric times before they are all gone. For nearly a half cen tury these articles have been removed until the best are now all gone or are in private collec- tions within the state.-Gazette.

PAY OIL IS FOUND IN FOLDS

Along the sea coast are some times found long stretches of level strata of oil bearing sand, but in all such cases the oil is never in paying quantities.
 It is rather a common belief that oil occurs in great under ground lakes, but this is far from true, for it never does. Oil in commercial quantities is al ways found in strata of sand ranging from a few feet to several thousand\feet in thick ness.
 Oil is not usually found where it is formed, but being lighter than water it migrates to the higher portions of the folded statum or passes through other layers until it reaches a layer of sand that is S.overtopped with i'm perviouS sandstone.
 From the study of all existing fields geologists have learned:
 1. That oil and gas in com mercial quantities always occurs in the higher parts of these folds. 2. That oil and gas are al- ways found in sandy or water layed deposits of sand. sand stone, limestone and shales. 3. That water is always pres ent in the same stratum as oil, | but lower down.
 4. That the oil bearing stra- tum has always layer of sand, limestone or shale above and below it so hard and impenetra ble that the oil cannot pass through Tucson Post.

SUPPORT LEAGUE OF NATIONS

The Covenant of the League of Nations will create a situation which will at least greatly re- strict and lessen the chances of war between nations. Disputes between individuals are settled by our courts and we assume as a matter of course that no one shall turn to physical force. The present war has brougt before mankind, more wildly than any thing else in history, the folly and waste and crime of war. We see it's terrible devastation; we see it's terrible suffering. All civilized mankind will struggle for years to come under the bur- dens of this war. With our ad- vance in education, with our means of disseminating informa- tion, we certainly have reached the point where public judgment should support an understand ing between nations that. tends to throw up barries in the path of forces gathering for war.
 That the covenant of the Le- ague of Nations itself presents a real constructive method which undoubtedly will greatly tend to restrict war must be admitted by all. As such, all should give it help and support.

STATE FORESTS
 NOW RECLAIMED

Dr. J. T. Rothrock, Of the Pennsyl- vania State Forestry Commission, and he father of forestry in that state said last week that the State of Penn 5ylvania has sold its lands covered with magnificent timber for 26 2-3 cents an acre and Is now buying back he barren cut over lands at an aver age of s2.5o an acre and planting them 1o forest trees, Over 100000 acres have been bought for State Forests and the process of reclamation is now going on. At least 5,00O,O0O more acres of this desolate country must be bought by the State.
 The net income from the State For ests under existing law goes into the State School Fund. Already nearly $180,000 has been credited to that fund came from the utilization of scat tered timber. diseased, dead or dying. or from improvement trimmings of healthy trees. The result Is the bet terment of the forest areas. These lands have thus been increased in value through the practice of forestry from SIP to $2O an acre.
 These forests are opened to the public for recreation purposes. The streams are stocked with fish and over 1000 deer are shot annually on these State Forests. The State derives an annual revenue from hundreds ot
