But when clover was ready to cut
two weeks ago the troubles of the

enough sunshine To properly cure the
crop and a large portion of it was spoil

wheat and rye was also interfered with.
Flowing corn for the last time was
hindered by the same cause, and much

Postponement of the Territorial Fair.

The management have to announce the postponement of the First Annual Territorial Fair to the week of De- cember 25th to Both inclusive.
 This has become necessary on at- count of the heavy rains that have de- layed the work of final arrangements and have caused floods in the Salt and Gila rivers.
 The Santa Fe bridge at Tempe has been carried out and the probabilities are that the other lines of railroads will be very seriously affected by the flood waters and to such an extent as to make it questionable about the at tendance. In view of such uncertain ty it has been thought best to make this pOstponement.

Miners Association.

A call for MinersH'C Convention has been issued by a number of people in- terested in the industry, the meeting to be held in Phenix on the 18th of December, of this year. An associa- tion organized along broad lines and controlled by miners and operatives will be of great benefit to the industry, but if it gets into the hands of ma chine men and promoters of wild cat stock it will be an injury to mining and associated industries in the terri tory. The Southwestern Miners As sociation, which was organized in Los Angeles several years ago, was prac- tically controlled by men who would not know mine if they met it in the road and was finally taboOd by practi- cal mining men. Let the miners of the territory get together and organ ize an association that will be of ben- eft to them, one not under the control of machine houses for the purpose of exploiting their various machines. Cal ifornia has an association that has done great work for mining and is composed of men who have the inter- est of the miner at heart.

The Gold Giant mining company has retimbered the shaft on the Rattan mine and are now unwatering the property.

Clack Brothers have taken a con- tract to straighten up and drive the Green Linnet tunnel ahead another 100 feet. The tunnel is now in about 800 feet and it is expected that less than loo feet is required to cut the Green Linnet vein.' The Mohave County Development company has a bond on the property and intend to run the tunnel to connection with the Silver and Galconda mines. This week Walter De Varila made survey of the tunnel scheme and made an estimate of it's probable cost. This tunnel will cut the Silver at depth of about 300 feet and the Golconda at depth of 300 feet. The mines would be unwatered and large bodies of ore now under water could readily be got ten at. ,.a

A carload of ore has been assorted and is now ready to send to the smell ter from the Keystone mine, Mineral Park, This ore is very rich and comes from four foot streak in the south ledge on the mine. It is now quite probable that machine drills will be put in this property and shaft sunk to a depth of 1000 feet. The Keystone is one of the richest properties in the Mineral Park section and when opened to depth of 800 or 600 feet will Make a large output.

Many Prescott people rre rushing into the Bill Williams Fork country in the neighborhood of the recent Car rigan strike. It is reported that sev- eral other strikes have been made in that locality. The ore is copper-bear- ing and carries some gold. This gold is very flakey, resembling gold leaf in it's wonderful lightness. Some of this ore carries values in gold as high as several hundred dollars to the ton. The veins are large and outcrop long distances. '.si,

It is quite probable that an auto ore wagon will be put on the route be- tween Yucca and the San Francisco mine for the purpose of hauling be- tween the two points. The mine will soon be shipping large tonnage of concentrates and considerable oil and supplies will have to be hauled in. The distance is about forty-eight miles over rolling country. If this ma- chine is successful many others will be put in to haul between Kingman and the mines.

 E. Fleming L'Engle has been ap- pointed ore purchasing agent by the Arizona Smelling company, with off, flee in Prescott National Bank build ing, Prescott. MT. L'Engle is known to the producers of the county and his appointment will be pleasing news to them. He was in Kingman Wednes- day last on his way to the mines of Wallapai district, where he will look after the interests of his company. He reports the receipt of thousands ot tons of ore at the shelter, at Hum bolt, and when the furnaces are ready to blow in at least 10000 tons. of ore will be on hand.
 At Stockton Hill, the winze in the Infallible tunnel has reached a depth of 80 feet and is in splendid ore. The ore swells out to the full width of the shaft and much of it is laced together with native silver, besides carrying a high percentage of lead. In the breast of the drift the ore still main. tains its width and value. This drift will be driven into the Banner claim and the winze sunk to depth of sev. eral hundred feet below the level. Sc far the mine has ful filled every prom. ise and will soon be outputting big ore. Grading for the mill has been about completed and the machinery will be removed from Todd Basin tc that place in short time. l.. D. God. shall, managing director of the own. ing company, will be at the mine this week to arrange for more extensive development of the property.
 The Gold Road Company is to in. stall big power plant somewhere or the railroad for the transmission ot power to the mines and mills of the fGold Road section. It is quite prob able that the plant will be put in al Kingman, as this is the most feasible point, being but 24 miles or less iron Gold Road and over practically leve country, accessible by wagon at any point for construction purposes. Nee .dles was considered, but the river is stumbling block, that stream often at | taining width of several miles anC | high towers would have to be built t( carry the heavy transmission wires Needles is about the same distance a
 Kingman from Gold Road. Power could be generated as cheaply at King man as at Needles, while a greater area of country could be reached witt electric power. All the mines of Wall

T. R. Garnier visited his mines at Cerbat yesterday. He brought back with him samples of good looking ore from the breast of the upper tunnel on the St. Louis mine, and reports that there is four feet of the mineralized quartz in sight. This ore carries lead and silver, but this will have to be concentrated to put it in marketable shape. The vein is large one and it is expected that a great body of ore will soon be opened up in it.

ROOSEVELT NOT
LIKELY TO DO 1T

Washington, Feb. 10.-President
Roosevelt was today urged to take ac-
tion looking to the termination of the
Russo-Japanese war The request was
made by the er-parliamentary union
through the president Of the organiza.
ton, Representative Bartholdt of Mis-
souri,.
DR.. Bartholdt explained to the Presi-
dent that the concensus of opinion Of
the members of the union and among
European parliamentarians with whom
he is in correspondence was that the
President of the United States was the
only man, with the possible exception
of the Emperor of Germany who indi.
Gated no disposition to bring the war
to end, who might be listened to on the
subject with favor by Russia. The
President gave Mr.. Bartholdt no def
mite assurances beyond promising to
consider the matter with Secretary
Hay. 1t is known to be quite unlikely
that this government will take any &C.
tion looking to mediation until some
assurances have been received from
the parties to the pending conflict that
such action would not be unwelcome.
