lues of the several varieties of eaeti which flourish in the sandy and semi arid sections of this territory and New Mexico.
 The experiments will be exhaustive, consisting of feeding cattle, sheep, and goats with the eaeti, of various kinds to find if possible which is of highest nutritive value, and in what prOpor- tion the cactus has value as compared with other range foods.
 Last year the college made tests to determine the nutritive proportions of the several varieties of eaeti, and this year the practical feeding experiments will be undertaken.
 That the value of the cactus as food for cattle in exceptionally dry seasons has been recognized by practical range men, is well known. A veteran cattle grower asked as to the value of the eaeti as food for cattle said:
 "Just how valuable cactus is as food in proportion to other range foods, is a question which these experiments may determine. That cattle can live on cactus when there is nothing else to eat, most of us are familiar with, and this has been demonstrated often enough. I have often times seen an old COW in an exceptionally dry seas on, when the range is barren and wa ter scarce, dig up the ground around the roots of big cactus plant, and when uncovered eat the soft and ten der base of the plant with apparent re- fish. Calves cannot do it, and the cows cannot attempt it until there is no other feed in sight, for it is hard work to get at the roots and of course the tops are impossible, even for the cast iron mouth of an Arizona COW.
 ''I am more interested in the spine less cactus than in the determining of food value, if it is possible to get at it, but as long as the thorns exist, it is going to be difficult business to prepare it so cattle will eat it. I would like to see some practical expert ments in Arizona with the spineless wonder"

BILL WALTERS IS SENTENCED
 TO ASYLUM.
(From Fridays Daily.)

William Walters of Groom creek was yesterday declared to be insane after an examination before Judge Hicks in the probate court, and will be talk en to the territorial asylum for com mitment. Doctors Barrett and Looney were the examining physicians, and had no difficulty in soon understanding that the unfortunate man was clearly irrational.
 Walters is an Englishman by birth, and has been in the employ of Gus Williams for some two years past. Within the past two days he develop ed signs of insanity, and Williams yesterday notified the sheriff s office that the man had better be brought to town and properly examined and cared for. Deputy Merritt went after the man and arrived in Prescott with him early yesterday afternoon. His ex- animation in the probate court was quickly over, his own rambling and excited talk making plain his unfortu- nate mental condition.
 Walters explained that he had been a shipwright until coming to Arizona, and gave dates and locations in a fair ly rational manner, but suddenly he became excited because of some imagin- ary bill against him, and on account of horse which he believes was stol- en from him by two days. Gus Will Hams was sworn as a witness but was not called to testify, as when he was asked the first question the in- sane man broke in with wild explan- ation of some strange money affair. He imagines that he has $20,000 in the bank, and that he owns a fleet of boats that sail up and down Lynch creek.
 Williams has been very kind to the unfortunate man since it was shown that he was off his mental balance, and in the courtroom yesterday did much to soothe and quiet In. It is thought that Walters is per- 'alently in- sane. His commitment was issued without delay, and the man was taken to the asylum at Phoenix yesterday by Deputy Merritt.

made by L. c. Haynes, who recently bonded eight claims from Chris. Harry housen, was yesterday filed for record with the county recorder. The claims are known as the Farewell, Divide, Stonewall, Contention, Fox Camp, Monarch, Victor Extension, and Mountain Side, all in the Verde dis trict.
 The trade was completed June 20 of this year, and the principal facts were exclusively related by the Jour- nal-Miner at that time. Briefly told, Haynes agrees to take over the pro- perty for $60,0O0, of which 5000 must be paid to Harryhousen at the end of ment, and the balance within eight cen months from the date of agree ment. The first payment is to be made at the branch bank of Jerome, and is to go to Harryhousen for his individual use.
 The balance of $55,OOO is likewise to be paid in at the same bank within the time stipulated, and upon this last payment the purchaser is to be giv- en a deed to the property, which is now being held in escrow by the Jerome bank.
 Among other terms of the bonding is one in effect that the New York capitalist shall within ninety days of July put not less than three men at work on the property, and from reports now in circulation Haynes has already larger force now doing development work, with view to thoroughly ex- plotting the entire property.
 Harryhousen has retained a one tenth interest in the property for which he agrees to take stock in a new cor poration recently formed by Haynes in New York to fully develop the proposition. Little of a direct na- ture is to be learned as to the future of this new company, but it is no secret that local mining men who know of the deal have been informed by mail that the intentions of the new company are to waste no time in pushing work with a view to making a mine of their purchase, if the values are found to justify the expenditure.
 The location of these claims in the vicinity of the United Verde, and the showing already made in ordinary de- velopment work, leads to the impress sion among those who are acquainted with the property that the new com pany will eventually open up a new mine on big scale. "A big proposi- tion or nothing," is the way one min ing man explained the situation yes terday, when asked about it.

SICK BOY SENT TO HOSPITAL

A boy, probably 17 years of age, was last night sent to the county hos pital in bad state of health. He ar rived in town on the evening train from Ash Fork, and explained that he has no friends nor aequaintances in this part of the country. At a late hour in the night he was sent to the hospital
 When asked as to his occupation he said that he had worked as a boot black on the trip west from Wisconsin, and had hoped that on arriving in Arizona he would grow well. He is suffering from lung trouble, and is certainly well worthy of all charity that be be- slowed upon him..

FELL ONE HUNDRED FEET AND
 LIVES.
(From Thursdays Daily.) )

| (from InurSday s Dally.)
 Terribly mangled and in a critical condition, Richard A. Roberts, Jr., of Walker, is now in the hospital there as the result of a most serious ae- eident, and an almo-t miraculous es- cape from death after falling a dis tance of one hundred feet.
 The exact details of the accident are not fully explained, but it is known that Tuesday night while at work on the night shift, Roberts met with this horrible experience.
 When pushing a ear at the one hun dred foot level in the Sheldon mine, up near to the shaft that leads to the two hundred foot level, Roberts, eith- CT mistaking the distance, or being misled by the trap which was open, forced the car over the opening, and together with this ear, fell the en- tire distance to the two hundred foot level.
 That he was not picked up a mang- led corpse is phenomenal, from what is reported by those who were at Walker at the time of the accident, although the exact nature and extent of his injuries have not yet been given out.
 From Walker residents who reached Prescott yesterday it was learned that young Roberts was at work in the Sheldon mine, and late during the night shift, either through earelessness on the part of others or because he himself was negligent in seeing that all ahead was safe, ran the ear into the open shaft, and fell with it to the level below.
 At first it was announced that he had been so badly injured that he was told he might die if an attempt was made to move him, and he replied that he wanted to see his mother who resides in Wiekenburg, before they should try to move him. He then re- duested that his mother be advised to hurry to Walker.
 This first report was but in part true, as his injuries did not prevent his prompt removal to the hospital there, and his mother was advised of the accident by telephone. She reach ed Prescott yesterday before noon, and hurried on to Walker on the regu- lar afternoon stage. When seen here she seemed to be ignorant of the condition of her son, and was deeply grieved thinking that he had been mortally injured.
 Those who arrived in town on the evening stage yesterday stated that Roberts is not believed to be mortally hurt. His crushed and bruised con- dition is such as to make a complete examination of his injuries out of the question at the time he was taken to the hospital, but the impression was that he would pull through the terrible experience unless he had been hurt in- formally.
 A message from the hospital last ev ening announces that the miner was at that time resting easily, and that in- dieations point to his being able to recover from his awful fall.

Brutal Destruction Of A Fine Prescott
 SongSter
Musical "Mocker'' Was A General
 FavOrite
(From Saturdays Daily.)


 Yesterday morning at an early hour mOcking bird belonging to Mrs. A. J. Head was killed or stolen by some one who Mrs. Head insists that she knows. For some time past she has been in receipt of anonymous letters threatening to kill the bird if he was not removed from the Head build ing, and these eowardly letters were saddled upon the only person in the en- tire block who was known to have dis liked the bird.
 This individual, a mining man, was a lOdger in the building, and Mrs. Head openly declares that he has done this dastardly piece of work. She is So confident that she has placed the matter in the hands of her attorneys, Messrs. Andrews S Pattee, and if there is legal way to reach this man and his eOntemptible action she will sure ly prosecute him. The bird at this mans request, had been taken to the store room for the ight, the lodger complaining that tie singer disturbed him. Next mor-.-S the bird was gone, and back G.cf 70 the store room was found open.
 The truth is that lo TCrson in the block where the HeaG .lding is To- eated had ever eou,r.~.red of the bird excepting this .o, ser. Guests in the Head house, as v,,l as those in the Prescott hotel, imr Iiately across the street, were decidedly fond of the bird, and on several occasions strangers who heard him were heard to express the wish that they could buy him and take him east.
 Several offers of this kind had been made to Mrs. Head, and the fact is that the little singer was the pet of the entire neighborhood.
 Not long ago, while this same lodger was complaining of the bird, poisoned pellets were found in the birds cage, Dut WtIc NISCONtTeu III time to prevent his death. Yesterday morning when Mrs. Head discovered that her bird had been foully dealt with, without accusing this suspect, she quietly told him she wanted his room, did not want his patronage, and incl dentally added that she wanted the  room occupied by his niece, young lady who recently came here with him. He at once began to protest that he had nothing to do with the disappear anee of the bird, although Mrs. Head had made no mention of the disappear anee of the sOngster.
 From what her attorneys have report ed there may be no legal way to reach this eontemptible excuse for a man, but it may be news to him that the many people who admired the gird and who will miss it all know who he is, and how many weeks past he has threatened to kill it.
 If the least evidence in the way of proof can be secured against this al- legged man, 1t is hoped that he will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
