 The message received yesterday was in response to this telegram. It was not given out for publication by Judge Kibbey but the nature of it was made known through conferences he had with those interested. Tn substance Judge Steele said that the position the asso- citation has taken is unfortunate for it would be impracticable for him to fix a price on the property without the au- thority of the court. He said though that the bond holders would be willing to do all they could to meet the asso- ciation's views.

 Just what reply Judge Kibley will make to this message he was not will ing to state last night. From conver- sation however. 1t is apparent that his mind is unchanged concerning the policyNo of the association taking the in- itiative in anything of this kind. Those who are best qualified to express an opinion concerning the situation con- tend that there is much more to the question than the mere matter of who shall open negotiations; that there is a question of considerable diplomacy behind it.

THE BISBEE STAKE
A Notable Purse Offered for a Racing
 Event.

If all the big corporations in the ter ritOry, together with the leading citi-
 zens of the larger towns will follow the lead of Walter Douglas, general manager of the Copper Queen interests at Bisbee and Douglas, the first ter ritorial fair will be the biggest event for an initial show, given by any state organization of the kind.
 This conclusion is warranted by the fact that J. c. Adams, fair commis- sioner and president of the fair asso- citation, yesterday received from MT. Douglas a letter saying that he and other citizens. of Bisbee would unite in hanging up a purse of one thousand dollars as stake money for either a trOtting or pacing race. He says the commissioners will be privileged to select the class in which the race is to be run. The only request that Mir. Douglas makes is that the purse shall be known as the "Bisbee Stake" a re- quest the management will be only too happy to grant.
 MT. Adams said last night that he thought it quite likely several other cities in the territory would take sim liar action representative Of their re- spective communities and their inter est in the fair which will undoubtedly prove a benefit to every county and every town in the territory
 MT. Adams said that as near as he could estimate at this time. there will be over a hundred trotting and pacing horses in attendance during the fair, and they will be real travellers. It is expected that MT. William Garland, of Los Angeles. will bring Sweet Marie. who is the fastest tro.ting race horse in the world. It is true that Lou Dil- lon and Major Delmar have made little faster time, but they are strictly exhibition horses. and it is believed by horsemen generally that if the three

With all the vigor of her years she scattered the moisture, right and left, with the sole of her slipper smiling triumphanIy the while.
 The girl had lost track of her es- cort's remarks. She was watching the baby's efforts curiously. and now their eyes met in a sympathetic and under standing smile. The baby laughed gleefully, and the girl suddenly straightened up her dropping figure and laughed too.

 The girl looked tenderly at the smil- ing baby.
 She's a dear. Do you know. Jimmy. I've been going it wrong all the week. I'm going to try another way tomor- row. You know the man I told you about who wanted Q girl for general office work? Well.

 q can see this is a bad season to look for a position unless yol're an experienced stenographer; so I guess I'll have to do the next best thing and get into an office somehow"
 But she did not speak regretfully. and after she had laughed and chatted with her escOrt-and forgot the baby who had taught her to do the next best thing.
 It is a wonderful gift to be able to do the next best thing with a emile. The girl who sits down. heavy Ibrowed and morose. when she cannot work out life's problems according to her narrow view point, will never be happy herself or make others happy. She will never succeed in business, and will never be a happy wife. The girl who scores success in everything which she undertakes, is the girl who can do the next best thing as thoroughly and as cheerfully as if it had all worked out just as she had arranged. By and by, she will find herself creeping nearer and nearer the coveted goal.
 The girl who smilingly accommo- dates herself to existing conditions in the store where she clerks, or the office where she does typewriting. will devel- op into a wife who does not nag her husband, because the flat he can offer her as their first home has four in stead of six rooms.
 "AdaptabiIity is the secret of charm | in women," said an observing man of the world.
 And what is adaptibility? Merely | the gift of doing the next best thing | with a smile.

gin negotiations with a tacit under standing that it would buy the property at a price to be fixed later. the re- ceiver could at once raise the neces- sary money and repair the dam. Then when the time came to buy, the in- creased value of the property, through it's repairs, could be added to present value and might cost the association that much more. It is like a man bor- rowing money of another to repair q house, than selling him the house at the increased value. And f. is a mat ter of doubt whether the repairs to the dam would ultimately be of any value to the association for the gov ernment might or might not utilize the same site when it gets ready for con struction.
 On the other hand the association has held by its former actions that if the water company will make a proposition and that definite terms can be agreed upon in respect of price. the sooner the deal is consummated the better and the sooner the receiver will be in . posi- ton to hurry the repair work.

MINES AND MINING
Things Going on Under Ground In
 Various Localities.
cOcHISE COUNTY.

COCHlSE COUNTY.
 Considerable interest is manifested in all the mining districts of the coun- ty and sales of more or less import ance are reported from many directions One very notable sale is that of a pur- chase of an interest in forty-seven claims in the Warren district by IT. A. Smith. While the sum total in the transfer is nominal, yet it carries with 1t an obligation to open and develop the cl-ims as fast as they can be ar rived at.
 Another sale of importance is that of an interest in thirty claims by the administrator of the heirs of John Gird. The claims are in the Middle Pass district of the Dragoon range. and adjacent properties are producing and shipping ores.

were 10 participate in contest under racing rules and customs that Sweet Marie would heat them both to the wire.
 MT Garland, while a resident Of Los Angeles, also has a friendly interest in Arizona, for Ee was for many years interested in railroading here, and will take a little personal pride in seeing the fair a success.
 But the letter of Mir. Douglas is the incident that just now adds bright ness to the prospects of the racing meet. There is nothing like big purses to attract the attention of the men who own the really fast horses. They can't ali win, but they will try when there is something to try for.
 The fair management will now keep its ear to the ground anxiously lis- tening for the announcement of the Prescott stake, the Tucson stake, the Jerome. Globe and Clifton stakes, and so on down the line wherever there are a few liberal minded gentlemen who want to help along a good thing, and at the same time give their town a little adv cruising.

The excursion boat was crowded with passengers bound for a Sundays outing on the island far up the river.
