MILESTONE MOUNTAINS
Proposed Development Of a Rich
Mineral District.

Last Thursday several of our leading
citizens, who know more about rock
than they were ever accused of, took a
flying trip to the Milestone district
and brought in some good reports along
with some excellent samples from their
respective properties. says the Tomb
stone Prospector.
The party included Ben Rybon and
Horace S. Smith. the former of whom
has been paid LITERALLY and frequently
for his modest opinions on divers prop
csitions all the way from Yavapai to

gentlemen it is ascertained that prepa-
rations are in progress for systematic
and extensive work on the old Gallen
property situated in the heart of the
district and nearly in the center of the
mountains.
This property has been owned and
worked for years by Sine Gallen and

The August number of The Home

Phoenix. and as usual it is largely de-
voted to matters of direct interest to
the people of Arizona, such as the
discussion of questions concerning ir-

work of BODYBUILDING in the west.
geographically, as we'll as editorial

number is illustrated by pictures from

A BELATED PROCEEDING
to be Made for Letters Of
Administration in the Estate1
of Ellen Brill.

There will probably be sensational
proceedings in probate court within
day or two. 1t is said that an applica-
ton will be made for letters of adj
ministration on the estate of Ellen
Brill. the first wife OF F. L. Brill. This
action would threaten the title of all
property in the Brill addition
Mrs. Brill died fifteen years ago and
after that the Brill farm. constituting
the Brill addition. was subdivided and
sold out. the titles passing from F.. L.
Brill. No question has ever been
raised as to their validity but some
would naturally arise in the event of
the raising of the subject of the estate
of the deceased wife.
1t will be claimed that the property
including the Brill addition was ac-
-quired By the husband and the de-
ceased wife and that therefore it was
community property which should have
been administered upon at the death
OF the wife.
1t is not thought that if this step
should be taken that the titles of the
property in that addition will be seri-
ously affected. The same question
came up in the estate of ]. ]. Gardiner
and in slightly different way in the
case of the property that had been
sold by E. Irvine. None of the holders
of titles passed either from Gardiner
or Irvine suffered though at the time
there was some little trepidation
among the property owners.
Mr.. Brill is still the owner of con-
siderable property in that addition but
1t is said that he recently executed a
mortgage for $4,000 Offering his hold
ings there as security.

A BUSY SHERIFF
The Strenuous Existence Of Toe
Roberts at Yavapai.

Sheriff Joe Roberts of Prescott, is
one of the busiest men in the terri
tory. The office he finds more exacting
than he expected for it keeps him on
the move most Of the time. But the
more exacting it is the greater will be
the aggregate of the ices. The sheriff
was in the city yesterday, the first
time in three weeks.
He had just returned from Salt Lake
with A. A. Pratt, who was wanted on
charge of forgery. Pratt had been
operating in the neighborhood of Wick
enburg for about a year, pretending to
be engaged in the mining business.
There are. several offenses charged
against him but the one for which he
was arrested was the forgery of the
endorsement of D. A Colvin upon a
$500 draft drawn upon New York
through a Prescott bank.
Immediately after this performance
Pratt let the country and it was some
time before he could be located. 1t has
been learned that he has as MANY
aliases as he has had places of resi-
derce. While he was living in this
part of the country he managed to in
spire considerable confidence, which
nothing less than the forgery would
have shaken. He was arrested in Salt
Lake on telegram from Prescott. He
declined to talk to the sheriff about
his affairs.
When Sheriff Roberts got word of
his arrest he was at Ash Fork on his
way home from California with an en-
bezzler wanted at Jerome. He sent
the prisoner down to Prescott and pro-
ceeded to Salt Lake.
His present errand is after a muir
derer. Juan Reavis, who has been cap
tured on Geographic Instructions from
him and is now in Jail at Cananea.
Reavis' crime was the killing OF
another Mexican at Congress more than
a year ago.

On the rock the judges were c. c.
Warner, w. X. Anderson and Tom De-
vine The measuring OF the hole was
done by Anderson and Warner and De-
vine held the watch.
Tarr had Ed Malley for his turner
and the work he did that afternoon was
the cleanest on the rock. Every change
was made without a CULVER. He pound
ed the drill on the bottom of the hole
and helped by this. He YVES hit on the
head but not hurt by Tarrs drill.
Tarr had his brother. Henry Tarr for
coacher and James Malley for private
timekeeper.
The work of Tarr was marvellous and
ranks as the best performance ever
made in a contest of this kind. He
struck on an average of sixty blows to
the minute.
Ross drilled well, but the sulphur
smoke bothered him several times. Carl
Make turned for him, and did good
work, but he could not make his man
win.
For timekeeper Ross had Dick Conley,
and for coach Bob Lyons. Both worked
hard.
After Ross had finished drilling, and
Tarr was about to mount the rock the
betting was so to So on Tarr Severa'

An immense crowd was out. The
hillsides and the railroad tracks were
crowded with people eager to see the

TOLD SECOND HAND.
An Interesting True Tale of Feeding

a bright young woman of Coin, Iowa.
who keeps her eyes open. tells an in
teresting and true story of her chum S
experience with food.
She says: She had nervous dyspep-
STA for several years and when an at
tack came on she would go to a ply
stefan and get some relief up to last
year when she had the Grip, which left
her very weak, and then her stomach
collapsed and refused to retain any
thing but the very simplest foods. Soon
she could not eat even those and for
seven days she, mad no nourIshment but
raw egg and milk, and she was told by
a physician that d change of air and
scene might restore her to partial
health but she would never again be
we'll and would probably die of con-
sumption of the bowels
"She always complained of terrible
distress after eating. which was soon
followed by vomiting, yet she was Sc
hungry all the time that she would try
TO eat. One day she read an article
about Grape Nuts and asked her father
to get some, and he went out and
bought a package. She took q. able
spoonful moistened with a little milk.
The taste was delicious and sd tisfying,
and to everyones surprise there was
absolutely no pain CT trouble in her
stomach after eating il.
After couple of hours she called
for some more Grape Nuts and this
time the amount was doubled, and soon
after eating ii she fell into a sound,
natural sleep sleeping for several hours,
something she had not done since her
illness without the aid of morphine. She
continued to use Grape Nuts alone for
one week, improving rapidly all the
time and then began to increase her
diet as her returning strength and APP
petite made this possible.
-Four months from the time she first
commenced the use of Grape Nuts she
became u comparatively healthy girl
quite strong and vigorous, eating,
sleeping and working much better than
she had done for years. She and all of
her friends feel that she owes her life
to the scientific food Grape Nuts"

GERS of that range. Quite recently they
sold eight claims to the Fair people
of Bisbee who have since located addi-
tional claims until they now have a
group of &c claims which they propose
to develop without delay. There has
been about lao feet of work done on the
Gallen & Loudon property. nearly all
in ore. and in the misty past consider
able ore has been shipped, leaving con-
siderable high grade goods on the
dump. The ore in this district is prin-
cipally in compact lodges and decidedly
high grade. Shipments from the Gallen
property averaged 26 per cent copper,
81 ounces silver and some gold.
The Rybon property owned by Messrs
Rybon. Hare ard Duncan. consists of
eight claims upon which Horace Smith
and others have just completed dis
covery work. 1t is situated on what is
known as Silver Hill. The most ex-
tensive work in one place is only about
20 feet. 1t has been done on the most
conspicuous ledge, disclosing an inter-
esting pay streak all the way. About

they have a good thing. These people
