A POULTRY RAISER
 IS NOT SATISFIED
He Objects to the Action of the Fair Commission in Cutting Prizes.

The Republican is in receipt of the following self explanatory letter from C. W. Alexander, proprietor of the Calla Dale Poultry farm:
 As a poultry raiser I have a kick coming along with a great many other poultry raisers against the managers of the territorial fair. The prizes in this particular industry have been cut 25 per cent flat and added to that of the sporting fraternity. Heretofore the prizes have been so low that no one living any distance from the ground could possibly come out even financially to say nothing of his time and labor. To put poultry in proper condition for show purposes one must commence at least six months and from that up to ten months previous to the fair to figure on hiSN, young stock to bring them off at the proper period and to have the old stock in good feather. Then there is the in- evitable cleaning and sticking them up generally for two or three days be- fore taking them to the grounds. The extra express and car fare to place your birds. Then one is forced to at- tend the last day to reeOOp and re- turn the birds. There is a loss of about a dozen eggs per hen at 45 cents per dozen and where do you stand financially2 I suppose I took as many prizes for the number of birds entered as any one and I know l did not get out even to say nothing of my work and worry. This cutting of the prizes does not tend toward bringing out the best poultry. In fact the tendency is toward a house full of mOngrels.
 Should they charge from 10 to 25 cents entrance fees on singles and from 50 cents to $1 on pens. then double the prize money instead of cut

THE C. & 4. COMPANY
 BUYS MORE PROPERTY
Two Mines in the Leadville Group of
 coehise Co. Acquired for s2oo, 900.

 Another important mining deal is reported from Leadviile district which would indicate that the c. & A. com pany regard that promising section as a verftable storeheuse of copper de- posits, says the Tombstone Pros pector.
 It is stated on reliable authority that the c. & A. through it's manager, Col. l.. w. Powell, today closed a deal with the Leadville Mining Co. and it's president, Vim. Holmes, for two mines of the Leadville group for the sum of s2O0, 900.
 It Is said 10 per cent of the option price was paid down, $20,00O being paid upon signing of the papers, the remainder to be forthcoming at the expiration of one year. The mines are located between the Germania and the Great eWtsern group and are con- sidered exceptionally valuable ground
 The c. & A. have explored much of the ground in the Leadville district and the fact that they are acquiring more mineral territory is certainly a good sign and means much for that section.
 The company will prosecute work on their newly acquired group with characteristic energy.

THE GROWTH OF MESA
 INTO THE OUTSKIRTS
A Forty Acre Tract to Become a Part
 Of the City.

Vinyard place, a tract of forty acres, which has just been surveyed and dplat- ted, and which is located directly west of the city limits and south of main street is being cut up into smaller sec tions and lots.
 This tract is solely controlled by the Pomroy-Guthrie Co. Roadways have been surveyed through and a contract for the grading of these was let yester- day.
 The corner joining Mesa on the west and fronting Main street, has been cut up into desirable building lots 50x15O, the rest of the ground is cut into tracts of two and one half acres, each one be- ing corner tract
 These are the first small lots to be made of property outside of the city limits, and that such are desirable, is evidenced by the fact that about half of these lots have already been spoken for. The different tracts will be re- corded in the county recorders office this week. This subdivision is known as Vinyard place, and when the grading on the streets is completed will be one of the most desirable locations for a building site, and is only one of the many recent Improvements which show how fast realty values are climbing and the fact that desirable properties find ready sale.
 There is much activity in real estate values at the present time within the city limits. and scarcely a day passes that some piece of property is not purchased within its boundaries, either for the purpose of speculation or for the purpose of locating. Houses for rent. have long since been at a preIni- um, for renting purposes, several fam lilies who were desirious Of locating here during the winter season at least have had to go away because of the fact that no houses were for rent, within the past month several cottages for this purpose have been started and more are being planned.
 With the installation of the city wat erwOrks and the completion of the proposed gas system, Mesa will have which usually are only secured by places much larger in size. But conditions here and the spirit of the times and the industry of the peo- pie here are in keeping with these pop ular movements. as nothing Is too good for the people of the Salt river valley

THE CITY WELL

The casing which had to be removed from the well which is being drilled for the city at the north park, has practic- ally been removed, only about 30 feet of pipe remaining. It is the plan of Mir. Mccormick, who has the work In charge to drill another well along side of the first and when the present depth of this has been reached, take out the remaining casing and then continue the drilling from this depth until water of desirable quality and quantity is reached.
 No further delay is anticipated and providing water is encountered at a reasonable depth the first of the wells should be completed within short time

 Norris and Rowes show train had hard time getting past Tempe yes terday. The train was many hours late when it reached here and in order to try and save time. an effort was made to pull the entire train over the Butte grade at one time. The engine stalled when a little more than half way over the grade. It was necessary to split the train in two sections be- fore the grade could be made and it was nearly one o'clock before the train got out of Tempe.
