THE GIBBS ESTATE
Settled After Nine Years in Probate
 Court.

The sState of O. |. Gibbs. which has t,.en in probate court for the last nine years, has finally been disposed Of. The last act vas the filing Of vouchers. Every clain against the estate has been adjusted and paid except TWO. One Of them amounted to 42 cents and was held by James K. Murphy. The aG- justes claim of another creditor living somewhere In the east amounted t1 o- cents. Checks were issued by the ad- ministratOr In payment of both or these claims. The Murphy check has neves been heard of by the administrator, who presumes that 1t reached Mir. Mur- phy all right and that gentleman Ge- cided to preserve it as a souvenir. The other creditor could not be located. and in the course of time the check was re- turned.
 The Gibbs estate was originally val ued at $5OOOO. but like all such estates which are in a rather chaotic condi- ton when they pass into probate it no; only not got any larger but shrunk constantly. There was not enough Of ii to pay all the debts.

Indeed. tO give even casual mention 10 all the evidences Of progress and prosperity whlc1 are made apparent by travelling over this line would require more space than is here available. However. it is hardly possible to avoid mentioning some Of the more prominent enterprises.

From the Junction 10 the end or the new line. which is at the Poland re- duction works and the mouth of the Poland-L Lynx Creek tunnel. is about eight miles. and for most of the dis tance it is q steady climb.
 The twenty stamps Of the Poland mili are dropping day and night on ore from the Poland vein, and in the breast or the cavernous tunnel the power drills are boring throughout the twenty-four hours. As is generally known, the tun- mel is under construction from both sides of the mountain, so that until the men meet in the bowels of the mountain the enterprise in reality com prises two tunnels. and in each of them there is the same activity. From tss Big Bug" side (the side by the rail- road) the tunnel has been driven into the mountain d distance of somewha: more than 2,300 feet, or nearly half d mile. On the Lynx Creek side the work has penetrated to a distance of fully 1,300 feet. Thus far. the comprehen siVe calculations of the operators have been verified in every particular. It was anticipated that the tunnel wouic cTosscut several very rich gold veins. and the highest expectations are being fulfilled. The company's mining claims cover the mountain for a. distance of two miles, and the surface shows ledge after ledge of good ore. Some of tness lodges had been prospected to a con siderable depth, so that there was sub stantially no doubt that the tunnel would open a veritable treasure hous1 in the mOuntain: and as fast as these lodges are reached in pushing the tun- nel the strongest hopes are realized. When opened for traffic. the Poland Lynx Creek tunnel will be a magnifi- cent commercial artery. Tn order to convey its own ores to the reduction works and the railroad. and to trans port the ores from the network of mines in the Lynx Creek district to the railroad, the cars in the tunnel will

PROGRESSIVE
 YAvApAI co.
A FIatterIng Outlook for the
 Coming Year
What May Be Seen Along the Pres colt & Eastern Railroad - The Work on ihe .Poland.- Lynx Creek Tunnel.

A Republican representative a few
 days ago made trip through portion
 of Yavapaf county. and the signs or progress visible everywhere furniss abundant evidence that the coming year will be one of great activity in all lines of business in the mother
 county" of the territory. In this re-
 spect Yavapai county is, of course. simply keeping in step with all other mining sections of Arizona. There can be no doubt that the year 1903 is to surpass all former years in bringing rewards to men of nerve and industry. In the localities visited it was see.i that all branches of the mining bust ness are being carried forward on q scale exceeding anything seen here
 tofore. In the numerous mines or proved value sinking and development are being pushed with a steadiness which counts in results; new properties are being opened up under systematic plans: reduction works are being made ready, and on every side there Is an energy which means great achieve sment and there is a cheerful confidence which is inspiring. There are two pri- mary causes for this activity and pros perity: first, an established confidence in the stability of the mines. Experi- ence has demonstra ted over and over again that as a rule the mines improve in value as depth is gained, and that the greater ore bodies are in the lower depths Second, the confidence thus so firmly grounded is turned to practical account by reason of the new railroads
 The construction of railroads into the heart of some of the richest mineral districts has enabled the mine owners and operators to operate their proper ties where, in many instances inaction was compelled by lack of transporta tion facilities. It is being shown in this territory. as it was demonstrated in Colorado in the early eighties, that

 To meet the needs already exiEting and which will be greatly Increased within the near future, two snelters are now in operation in the immediate neighborhood of Mayer.

BIG PROFIT IN WATER.
Fruit Grower. and Dairymen Can
Sell 1t at q High Price and Yet -
Please the Buyer,

To sell water at high price and
yet please the buyer is one of the
farmers privileges. The gardener
whose strawberries are juciest,
whose melons give the greatest re-
freshment during the hot August days
and whose peaches are the most melt
ing owes much of the superior quality
of his fruit to the abundance of water
they contain. To secure this added
juiciness, unless nature be liberal with
rains during the growing season, he
must spend money, time and labor in
irrigating his plantations or in making
special efforts to conserve the moist
ure in the soil. The cheese-maker also
sells considerable water in his product,
but he might usually sell more with
satisfaction both to himself and to the
consumer. He would have an advan-
tage over the gardener in so doing, for
he need not go to great expense to
provide the moisture. 1t is always
found in plenty in the green cheese;
and he. need only use care in retaining
it to add both quantity and quality to
his marketable cheese.-Troy IN. W

VIRTUES OF BARLEY.
Esaa That VIII Grow ossd corn.Qas
Year Will Yield = Fair BARLEY
Crop the. Next.

One advantage which barley may
be credited with over the other ce-
reals is that it is much less liable
to be injured by the rust fungus.
Nearly all the varieties that are now
on the market mature some time
during the first ten days in July,
SO that the crop escapes to some
extent the severely hot weather.
Ripening as it does at this early
date. is of considerable advantage to
the grower during the harvesting
period. Where winter wheat 10
grown barley is generally ready to
harvest soon after this crop, while
spring wheat and. oats come in lit
tie later. But the fact that it ma
lures at a convenient time would not
alone recommend it for general Gull
ture. 1t must give good yield Of
grain, otherwise farmers in general
will have little use for it. In this
respect we think that barley fully
fills the requirements. Where or
binary care is taken in preparing the
seed bed and the soil is at all in
good heart there is little difficulty
in getting a yield of 40 bushels per
acre. In fact we have seen so and
IS bushel yield time and again. As
the grain usually weighs from As to
SO pounds per bushel it will be seen
that the yield in pounds per acre is
very large. It certainly would re-
quire heavy crop of oats to pro-
duce the same amount of food. It is
true that the grain is scarcely so
;palatable as oats and that it is not
relished SO much by farm animals;
at the same time if properly com
bined with other foods it will give
good results.-Live Stock Indicator.
