W1NSLow BASEBALL FANS
 READY TO BET THOUSANDS
From Thursday's Daily)


 gentleman from Winslow who is interested in some mining property in Yavapai county, called at the Journal. Miner office yesterday and after trans. acting some business, he was asked what kind of baseball team winslow had this season. This question was asked because the winsow team had only a few days ago written to Pres. colt asking for a game with the Grays.
 The visitor replied "Winslow has the best team in the territory and I am willing ,o bet $500 on our boys if they hook up with the Grays. They have not had a single defeat this year, and have defeated Gallup, Flagstaff, Williams and others. In fact, none of these teams were even fast enough to entertain our boys. With the exccp. tion of two men, all of the nine are railroad boys, and they are husky bunch"
 When told that the Grays were a pretty swift bunch themselves, he re. piled: "That is just what we want They can't make them too swift for us. While l don't play ball myself. take great interest in the game, and there are lot of fans in Winslow who arc willing to bet their socks on the home team. The trouble has been that we haven't had n chance to bet our money. The team went to Williams a week ago. and bunch of us went along with the nine, loaded down with the long green. for we heard that the Williams boys were real sports and were really pining to get chance at our coin. We came home disgusted, for outside of few shoestring bets, we couldn't | induce the Williams sports to cover our coin.'
 When told that he would probably not experience such trouble in Prescott. in ease the two hines were matched, he said: eff anyone will deposit s5OC with the Journal. Miner. wire me and will come down and cover it myself. Outside of that, 1 am confident that there will be two or three thousand dol lars brought down by the fans.'
 Later on the winslow man was intro. duced to Mir. Kohl, of the executive committee of the baseball association. and the latter immediately got busy. A letter was mailed Co winslow yesterday naming terms for tournament, and it IS quite likely that the first game will take place two weeks form Saturday. The Winslow boys want to play two games in Prescott and two in their home town.
 Phoenix is coming for two games next Saturday and Sunday. Flagstaff is billed for August and 2, and Win. slow for August s and Q.

NO CATTLE RUSH
 BUT PRICES GO DOWN

KANSAS CITY, Stock Yards, July 22. Although the cattle supply last week dwindlcd toward the close, and the total was moderate for the season, i5,O00 head, prices declined 25 to 90 cents during the week. Packers claim the hot weather has cut down consump- ton, and stand pat for the usual sum mcr concessions in the price. Fed grades last as much as grassers, account of ability of killers to substitute the latter. The run today is below esti- mates at all the markets, 1f,000 head
 here, and prices are 10 higher today on an average, more in many cases. Top fed steers lately have sold at s7.35, but the big bulk of killing steers are grass westerns, including Panhandles, at s3.75 to s5.75. and quarantine steers at $40 to si.50, grass cows at .2.GO to s3.75. yeals have advanced around sl.0O per cwt. since a week ago, tops at sG.00.

HETTY IS GETTING
 RASH IN HER OLD AGE

NEW YORK, July 22.-Poor Hetty
 Green is now reaping the financial
 whirlwind. Her brief sojourn in one of New York's most expensive hotels
 mas gotten in its iniquitous work and
 undermined the financial training of years. For now, alas, Hetty, Ameri- ca's wealthiest woman, actually gives tips and that to the astonishing amount
 of nearly four dollars week. It is even whispered that she now spends nearly n thousandth part of her income. In two brief months she has thrown
 aside the economy of years. On the
 first of May she was living in a sl9 a month flat in Hoboken, with all other expenses limited to S9 week. Four weeks later the money spending mad
 ness having seized her she was installed in $i50 month suite in metro. lars day. So severe strain was this on an income of n couple of millions a year, and the largest cash balance in New York, that she has removed to a Madison avenue boarding house. But the weeks of expensive life are now claiming their due, for it is stated that in her present surroundings ner ex- penses for her dog, her daughter and hcrscl faverage forty dollars n week And the woman who was never known to tip until her flight into exclusive metropolitan hotel life, is now, it is stated, giving thirty cents n day to her waiter. and as much more to others who serve her. IL is now announced, how ever, that she is to retire to ner Yer mont home where her expenses will he only s20 week. Thus has the sinis' cr influence of New York ruined the good principles of one more worker, and now that the scandal of her tipping habit has leaked out her acquaintances fear that the woman whose income is several thousand dollars day may yet throw all prudence to the wind and hire a cab some rainy morning.

TO INQUIRE INTO
 GRAZING AND wATERrLow

WASHINGTON, July 2I.--,A. F. Pot. ter, chief of the Branch of Grazing United States Forest Service, is in Santa Fe, New Mexico. to confer with Governor Curry tomorrow with regard to the proposed additions to the Pecos
 National Forest. An examination of the withdrawn land will be made for te purpose of determining what part of 1t shall be added to the National For. est and what part released. It is ex. pectcd that this examination will take about ten days or two weeks.
 On the first of September, Potter and D. D. Bronson, of the Forest Service. will start from Phoenix, Arizona, Co make an examination of the land with. in the Verde National Forest, for the purpose of making recommendations regarding the regulation of grazing. These forests were created primarily for the purpose of securing favorable conditions of water fow," so that special care will need to be exercised to prevent grazing from defeating this object.
 An agreement has been made be. tween the secretary of the interior and the secretary of agriculture, for inves. tigations of the effect of the grazing of sheep and goats upon the watersheds within national forests which are i'm. poytant to irrigation. Potter and Bron. son will, therefore, cooperate in these investigations with officials of the re- clamation service.
 Clifford Pinchot, forester, has writ. ten to the Water Users' Association and to the presidents of both the Cat tie Growers and Sheep Growers Asso. citations in Arizona, informing them of the proposed examination and inviting them to arrange to have representatives of their several interests accompany the representatives of the government, if they desire to do SO.
 investigations of the relation of stock grazing to water supply on otner national forests will be carried on jointly by the Reclamation Service and the Forest Service whenever complaints arc received from the water users of damage to the water by stock. Invcs' tigations will also be made by the gov crnment on its own initiative whenever such action is necessary for the gener' al welfare.
 The results of these investigations will be made known as rapidly as pos siblc

FABULOUS LEDGE FOUND
 IN CROOK CANYON
(From Friday's DaItyl


 After prospecting every month of daylight, even during the heavy rain. storms of last week, John Burris was successful at an early hour Sunday morning in locating the source of the fabulously rich float he found south of the Crook mine week before. an ac. count of which appeared in these col. umns. He now has paystrcak ten inches in thickness exposed which sam. pies hundreds of dollars to the ton in free gold, the yellow metal being plain. ly visible to the naked eye in almost every piece taken from the ledge. Bur. ris is sinking shaft on his new find and is energetically exploring it him. self, having no miners employed yet to rush the work.
 Burris' discovery has already reviv- cd interest in the district which has long since been known for it's high grade ores. The fact that the quartz of the new discovery is of the same general character as the float found near the place, week before, is con. elusive proof to the miners and pros. pectors of the district that if is tho source of the float, the wonderful rich. ness of which startled the camp. So far as developed the ore of the new find is equally as rich as the float boulder that caused it's discovery.
 From his discovery of the boulder until he found the ledge, Burris brSved hail and rain storms in his search for the rich vein. He did all his cooking in the darkness so that ne could devote every moment of day and twilight to prospecting. He is now confident that he has good sized fortune within his grasp and is working as cncrgctically developing that find as he did in his search for it. It is located n half mile south of the Crook mine, and although the immediate vicinity has been tra. yelled over by hundreds of prospectors and miners, 1t is a virgin discovery, not trace of any development on it being found to indicate that its pres. ence was ever known to the fortune hunters of the early 7O's who ventured into the district, which was then ono of the strongholds of the murderous Apaches, who were subdued by Gener. al Crook, in whose honor the district and the Crook mine are named. R. NJ. Hanson, who mas been confined three months at his camp near the discovery, suffering from rheumatism, while hero yesterday vouched for the correctness of the report of the Burris discovery, which he considers the most promising find made in that section in recent years.
 Hanson is here making arrangements to resume work on the Cody group of claims, half mile west of tac Burris camp, in one of the claims of which some very high grade ore is exposed. He and his partner, B. II. Grove, will leave this morning for their camp with n wagon load of supplies and a small force of miners 10 resume development work there.

|ooD SHOWING ON
 COPPER DYKE GROUP
From Wednesdays Daiiy)

lfrom wednesdays Daily)
 J. \. Johnson, one of the owners of
 be Copper Dyke group of mines in the
 Hack Canyon district, is so well pleas.
 with the recent development of the
 ropcrty that he has let n contract to
 Ink shaft to a depth of 100 feet on
 he of the claims at once. In a shaft fnly ten feet deep on one of the claims
 De mas exposed an ore body the full hidth of the bottom of the shaft. The
 're, which is a mixture of oxides, car.
 bona,es and black sulphides, carries bod values Tn gold, silver and copper. E. P. Murphy of Mayer is associated
 fith Johnson in the ownership of the
 roup, comprising eight claims, located
 'e miles below Turkey station.
 The property is Tn an isolated section )f the mountains. Althouga the crop. pings of the immense dyke stand al. host 100 feet high, practically no work Jas been done on the ground, which is nown to be rich in the precious met hls since the section was invaded by brospectors in the early eos. The Farly explorers preferred to exploit the fch stringers to be found all through |hat part of the Bradshaw range. out bf which some of them reaped rich re- |Fards by extracting tho gold by the hrastra process.
 Murphy discovered the property many years ago and recognizing in it D prospect of wonderful possibilities, ocated eight claims covering the great Fntcrop. A few years ago, J. s. John. Son visited the place and at once be- eame interested with Murphy, purchas- |ng n half interest. Little outside of annual assessment work has been done but the owners now realize that the demand for mining properties of pro misc and merit in that and other dis iricts of the county will be unprecc. deuted in the history of northern Ari- zona before the close of the present year, and are now ready to commence the development of the great dyke. The locations cover water rights with suf- hcient water the year round for all purposes.
 Johnson, who is general manager of the Copper Queen Gold Mining Compa- ny, says that work on the company's tunnel in the Agua Fria district is pro gressing satisfactorily to the manage mcnt. Several veins showing good ore have been passed through already and the main ledge ahead will he tapped at a depth of 625 feet where it is expect cd large body of ore will be opened, judging from the surafce showing.
 The company's property is located near the famous Binghamton mine at Copper mountain, owned by Isaac T. Stoddard and ais associates in which there is one of the largest tonnages of ore now opened, outside of the Unit, ed Verde Mine. Manager Johnson will return to his mining camp today.
