ABOUT FOREST RESERVES.
Commissioner of the Land Office
Richards has made an announcement
of the forest reserve policy which has
created so much discussion during
the past few weeks. Commissioner
Richards said :
"The establishment and the proper
maintenance of the forest reserve is
indispensible to any extensive recla
mation or cultivation of lands iu the
arid regions. The failure to control
tne promiscuous sheep grazing
throughout the west is injurious to
the growth of the forests as well as in
jurious to the natural water sheds.
"The preservation of the forest re
serve is only incidental to the "policy
of the administration.
"One guiding purpose of the pres
ent administration is to make easy
the path of the home builder and not
let him be defrauded by those who
have not a permanent interest
therein. "
The announcement of the policy of
President Roosevelt was the result of
protests coming from certain sections
of the west where the sheep grazing
interests now predominate and where
the laws regarding forest reserves have
been disregarded to a certain extent.
Fen. S. Hildreth today received a
letter from Auson II. Smith, at King
man, Arizona, containing the follow
ing accouut of the tragic death of
Fred A. Pomeroy :
"I am sorry to have to tell you of
the terrible death of Fred A. Pome
roy by falling oue hundred feet in the
shaft of the Kntei prise mine Monday
morning. He was going down the
shaft to begin work and when about
fifteen feet from the surface laughing
ly said to his working partner. 'Catch
me. Tim. if I slip.' ami almost in
stantly he fell backward from the lad
der to tfca bottom, more than W8 feet.
At a depth ot BO feel he passed
through a trap, striking the door and
causing it to close alter him. He
struck ou his head ou the bottom of
the shaft and his skull was crushed iu
several places. When his partner irot
to him he was struggling to get up
but cculd not. They carried him to
the surface aud there he niade a des
perate struggle to get ou his feet. He
lived oue hour and fifteen minutes
and during all that time I believe he
was conscious. CM HM thing as did
was to press hi- hands to his forehead
where the worst fracture was.and then
straightened out dead. He was oue of
the best of fellows and our lodge boys
are all broken up over his death. We
buried him under the auspices of the
Knights of Pythias yesterday eveuiug,
the services ln-iug iu the church. I
never saw so much leeling displayed
at a funeral during all the years of
my residence iu Arizona. He was
soon to be married aud his sweetheart
is brokeu hearted.

A CONFIDENCE QAME.
A. J. Head dayed a pretty smooth
confidence game 011 the Journal-Miner
man when he lioarded the north Ixiund
traiu last Saturday. He never cracked
a smile as he told the reporter, with
malice aforethought, that he was go
ing "east" to pureha.-e lumber, etc..
for finishing up his large brick bus
iness block, and would prokablf con
tinue bis visit as far "ea.t"' as
"Maine." Imagine the feelings of
the poor uewspajer man when he
bumped up against the familiar form
of A. J. Head on the streets of Pres
cott yesterday morning!! He (the
reporter) was sure he had not been
drinking the night liefore, aud yet
there it was. Mr. Head's smiling face
before him when he thought he was iu
Chicago or New York. Nearly rubbing
his eyes out to make sure he was not
asleep, aud going up lo the form be
fore him to see if it was solid and
warm, explanations were asked for
aud Mr. Head explained that lie had
leeu as far "Mt" as Maine. Arizona,
near ill lam-, making arrangements
for lumber to In- used in the new
lirick business block which he intends
to erect where his residence now
stands as soon as he can move the lat
ter otf the lot. The wretch, nobody
thought he could get leyoud the
borders of Arizona, anyway.

BEAUTIFUL MILLINERY DISPLAY
A Journal-Miner man was invited
today to inspect the elegant new
spring millinery which has just ar
rived from the east for Mrs. Akersand
wheu he was ushered into the parlors
tilled to overflowing with pretty
things that will please the ladies, it
was like a trip to fairy land.
There were scores of pattern hats
w hieh had just arrived from the great
millinery firm of Edson Keith ccm-
lany, of Chicago, where Mrs. Akers
worked for years, and they certainly
are as pretty as anything could be,
and the writer is going to prohibit his
wife going down that street any more
this spring, because if she sees those
hats its all off with ye poor reporter,
as he will be broke the balance of the
year.
Mrs. Akers has just received two
large and magnificent show cases
wnere a few of the pattern hats can be
displayed without becoming soiled.
Mrs. Akers is acknowledged to be
one of the finest milliners in Arizona
ami Prescott ladies can always depend
on getting perfect satisfaction at her
parlors.
