of eight patented claims within six
miles of Prescott by a good wagon road,

Mr.. Buckley has been in this county
only about ten months, the first six of
which he spent in quiet investigation of
various mining properties in different
districts, finally securing bond on
the Victor group of claims, lying in
the low mountain range Immediately
south of and adjoining the Hydraulics

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 80, 11:3O
p. m.-There appears no foundation
for the rumors that the vessels of the
Black Sea fleet are in mutiny, which
are in circulation in Odessa, and which
were industriously propagated by the
strikers here for several days.
The following dispatch from Odessa
has just been received by the Assoeiat
ed Press: CATER yesterdays exciting
occurrences when the gunshops were
plundered, barbados were built, and
the troops in dispensing the crowds,

(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Congressman Frank S. Dickson and

yesterday morning Mrs. Dickson was

Council Refuses To
Accept The
Document
Description Of Water
Rights Deemed
Vague
(From Sundays Daily.)


That much discussed proposition,
the purchase of the Duke ranch and wa
ter rights by the city of Prescott, in
accordance with the terms of the re-
port of the arbitration committee re-
turned some time ago, was again be-
fore the City Council yesterday after
noon for consideration. 1t appears
that City Attorney J. C. Herndon,
Immediately after the arbitration COM
-ittee reached an agreement, drew
deed intending to convey the ranches
and water rights in dispute owned by
John Duke to the city of Prescott,
which conveyance Mr.. Duke refused
to sign on account of some technical
point involved in the description of
the property intended to be conveyed.
Afterwards Herndon, in company
with Duke, visited the ground, and
investigated the matter in dispute, with
the result that he drew another deed
for the purpose of conveying the land
and water rights to the city, which in
strument Duke agreed to sign, and lat
er, it is stated, did sign. This con-
veyance signed and acknowledged by
Duke, was submitted to the City Coun.
ell yesterday, and the council, after a
good deal of discussion. refused to
accept it, claiming that the deserip-
ton of the water rights intended to
be eonveyer was not sufficient to in
sure the city against further legal pro-
ceedings which might be instituted by
Duke, and that the description of the
property intended to be conveyed was
not an exact counterpart of the de-
seription given in the arbitration agree
ment. and set forth in the findings of
the arbitration committee.
This action on the part of the City
council, in all probability, means
that some further legal proceedings in
the matter will be instituted in the
district court in the near future, the |
result of which will be watched with |
The property in dispute is the
land east of Fort Whipple, known as
the Duke ranch, on part of which at
present is the outlet of the sewer sys-
tenn of the city of Prescott.
The council ordered the purchase of
the north 10 feet of the lot owned by
A. A. Johns, fronting on South Monte
yuma street for the price of 800 for
the purpose of running a drain through
these premises from what is known
as Goose Flat to the bed of Granite
creek.
W. A. Cline, of the Prescott Transfer
Co., appeared before the council, and
asked permission to erect a Fairbanks
scales on Montezuma street, which
was granted.
City Health Officer Warren E. Day
reported to the council that a case of
liphtheria of mild form was reported
10 him in the morning, and that he i'm
placed a quarantine upon
he premises.
The council then adjourned.
