Mr. Gray's field is an extensive one, including Republic of Mexico, Arizona and Xew Mexico, bis vocation being pass down into the various mines, the numerous methods of which have been observed and studied to great interest.

It was Mr. Gray who first conceived the fact that the dumps in and around Tombstone instead of being "waste" carried shipping values, and he purchased the miniature mountains, transported them to El Paso and in return gave dollars of the realm. An extensive traveler, close observer and fully awake as to eurrent events, and mining in; particular, Mr. Gray is an interesting conversationalist. Of course he has much praise for Tombstone and Cochise county, where his largest Investments are, and from which source greater dividends are aasured, but be sees iu Pima, Santa Cruz, Pinal and Gila counties a great future for the mining industry.

Especially is there much activity in Globe and great promise from that extensively mineralized country surrounding that prosperous and pro gressive camp.

"Tuesday morning Head, who is an Apache Mohave Indian, shot down a man at Cottonwocd, in the Verde valley, not far from Jerome.

He left there and went to Camp Verde, arriving in the evening. While resisting capture, he shot down four more Indians and a squaw. "Head stole a fresh horse and head ed for Beaver creek, endeavoring to get into the wilder mountain districts and make his escape. Two Indians he is renorted to have shot down ther6 yesterday, who did not attempt to de tain him in any way. "Head has sent word to his pursuers that he has a Winchester and 10') rounds of ammunition, and that he does not intend to be taken.

He says that if cornered he will die before surrendering. 8hould he be brought to a stop, it is probable there will be more killing. "An educated Indian; haying been to Carlisle, and a dead shot with a rifle, Head is considered one of the most dangerous men eyer made the object of a man-hunt in Arizona. He knows the country as well, if not better, than his pursuers. Several In dian trailers of long experience are following him.

"Sheriff Lowry is of the opinion that Head eot into a fight while drunk, quarreled with a companion and shot him. This aroused the other Indians, and the one-ssdJ fight has followed, Verde valley Indians hive been making whisky of corn for some time, and recently there have been several fights among them." Later. Head's courage failed him and he went to Jerome and surrendered himself. He claims that because of being educated, and having married a squaw, the Indians became incensed and he did the shooting to protect his life. Head has been taken to Prescott.

The record of cores maJe bv the UAdt.r' 9a msch Bitter far surpass that of all other stomach medi- Tuat cattlemen and stockraisera need pay no grazing fees for having their stock on the forest reserves is the gist of a decision rendered by the United States district court of the eastern division ol Washington.

This decision will be of great inter-; est to tlifl cattlemen of this county owing to the fact that there are several forest reserves here. Grazing fees are now charged in these reserves. The cattlemen have protested against these fees and have always claimed that they were unjust. However, their protests have availed nothing. Whether the decision just rendered will be reversed or upheld by a higher court remains to be seen.

In the event that it stands, it will be a sav ing of thousands of dollars to the stockmen throughout the west. It will mean, however, a cutting off of the greater portion of the forest reserve receipt. In the decision that has just been given, it is held that the grazing fees illegal, because grazing on the reserves is coi prohibited by act of congress, but by the regulations of the secretary of agriculture. The decision states further that the secretary of agricult ure, and not congress, has designated what constitutes crime, and the desig nation, it is held, is beyond the power of the secretary.

SANTOS-DUMONT, Inventor of Airships HE first step in aerial navigation Las been successfully accomplished. Tbo era of long voyages in stcerable balloons is now beginning, and tbo crossing of tbo Atlantic is only ono of tbe vast designs which will Li realized sooner tban most people imagine. I am persuaded it is possible, and I hope'to try it. WHAT WOULD FULTON HAVE SAID IF HE HAD BEEN TOLD 8TEAMER3 WOULD BE BUILT OF 40,000 HORSEPOWER? MY DIRIGIBLE BALLOON, THE SANTOS-DUMONT HAS AN EIGHTEEN HORSEPOWER MOTOR. WHO CAN SAY HOW MANY HORSEPOW-ER THE NAVIGABLE BALLOON OF THE FUTURE WILL POSSESS? Por a long journey, liko tbat between Europe and America, one would require a powerful balloon, capable of resisting a certain amount of rough weather and able to rise and fall easily, so that tho aeronaut could seek his own currents.

If you rise to a height of 5,000 yards from tho ground, you are almost certain to find currents going in any direction you wish, and A SKILLFUL BALLOONIST, OXCE HE HAD FOUND TILE CURRENT HE WANTED, WOULD SIMPLY TRAVEL WITH IT AND UTILIZE IT TO HELP HTM ON HIS WAY. I would not attempt a transatlantic voyago with less than half a dozen men. That number would be necessary to work tho apparatus and to allow of them sleeping in turn. It is not easy to say before ono has made the attempt how long tho trip would take, but with powerful machinery tho speed would bo great, and tho time taken at present between Europe and America would certainly bo considerably shortened. I DO NOT REGARD IT AS IMPOSSIBLE THAT WITH A STRONG AND STEADY WIND BEHIND HIM, SUCH AS FREQUENTLY SWEEPS ACROSS THE ATLANTIC, AN AERONAUT SHOULD DO THE JOURNEY BETWEEN PARIS AND NEW YORK IN TWO DAYS.

The difficulty of carrying sufficient petroleum is tho biggest problem in connection with such a project. But that will bo overcome just as engineers have solved the question of carrying enough coal to stoke Atlantic liners. TOO EMPHATIC FOE AN ACCEPTANCE.
