FIGHT RIVER
 THROUGH NIGHT
Officers Move Out of Court House Annex as Water
 Eats into the Banks

Pine Bluff, Nov. 2.-All day Sunday and throughout the night several hundred men were at work constructing facines. which it is believed will stop the caving of the river banks at Pine Bluff and prevent the destruction of thousands of dollars worth of property.
 The bank has now caved right up to the rear doors of ar entire block of warehouses owned by R. M. Knox and D. M. Bluthen- thai & Co.,, while the offices of the Jefferson County court house are moving out of the annex, which is but a few yards from the caving bank.
 William Parkin, the United States engineer in charge of the Little Rock office, is here direct ing the work, and the property owners are paying the expenses. The work which is being done is the construction of a line of fas- cines, which are being anchored to the bank and dropped over the river bank, hoping that this will give temporary relief. Since the bank began caving last Sunday a strip of ground varying from 25 to 100 feet, extending from Chest nut street to the Court House, a distance of about 400 yards. has fallen. The river was already near the rear doors of the row of buildings along this distance.

M'CRAcKEN SILVER MINE BEING
 REoPENED.
(From Fridays Daily)


 "That the McCracken mine in the Owens district of Mohave county will again he soon among the large silver and lead producers of the Territory" Is the opinion of II. c. Shotwsll, of the firm of Latimer < Shotwell, who arriv. ed home yesterday from mine survey trip in that district.
 "The McCraeken is being opened on larger scale than ever," Mir. Shotwell said. "The new three. compartment working shaft s \ l6 feet in the clear is now down below the 300 foot level and drifts are being run on the vein from the three stations. Galena ore, carrying nigh values in silver and from 20 to 70 percent lead is being piled on the dumps awaiting the installation of . large reduction plant, plans for which it is said, the Western Mines Develop. ment company, owning the property, has under consideration. Sixty five men are employed in the mine and the force IS being increased as fast as de. veiopment warrants. A corps of en. gincers is in the field surveying a pipe line from spring twenty miles dis. tan,, which will furnish water for camp and reduction purposes when the new plant is installed.
 "Thc site of the new plant has not been made public by the management. Some assert that it will be erected at the mine, others at Yucca, the nearest railroad station, forty.ave miles dis. tani, while still others assert that it will be installed at Needles"
 The McCracken mine was among the greatest silver producers in the Terri. tory in the early 7O's. It's discovery and subsequent development attractc>i the attention of the entire country to the wonderful mineral possibilities of northern Arizona. The ore from it's treasure vaults made fortunes for its owners "Chloride Jack" Owens. after whom the district was named, is said to have been paid t250,OOO for an un. divided interest in the property a shor. time after its discovery. A pile of tailings valued at a million dollars was washed from it's dumps in rain storm a year ago and carried into the Biz Sandy river.

 cline of prosperity lately, especially in the east, has cut down demand for meats, but the very light receipts have prevented any great loss in prices, and values are still on a money making basis for tho feeder. No heavy fed steers are here today from the west,

but big string of steers under HOO sold at S5.s5 today from Colorado, heifcrs at tj00. cows $4.6O, stockers StT5, feeders s5.30. Western hay fed steers have sold here in the last week at s5.40 10 sG.i0. Best demand from the country is for light stockers, something that will make gains on pasture, while heshy feeders are draggy. Very light receipts of cattle the next several weeks are certainty. aud present prices should hold good.
 Sheep and lambs lost q little last week, and closed the week in poor shape. Supply today IS 10000 head, market . to 10 lower, and prices some. what disappointing on inferior stun. Top lambs today sold at $7+5, medium lambs s7io to $7.2O, clipped lambs $6.50 to s6.75, clipped weihers s5.75, Texas muttons $4. n to sJ.75, goats s3.75 to $4.25. The same complaint of stagnant trade Is made concerning mutton as is heard about other kinds of meats. Markets are likely to rule uneven, especially for half fat stun, account of uncertainty regarding vol tune of business in grass stun likely to develope.

 Changing to politics Mr. Hall stated that there was not as much excitement in Pi,tsburg, Boston. New York, Phila. dclphis and St. Louis as might be es. pcc,ed. "Taft's nomination for tho Presidency is generally conceded every. where 1 visited. The Democrats arc talking Brysn and Johnson but Bryan appears to be in the lead. Generally speaking the people appear to bs sat. isAed with either Taft or Bryan for President and the largo financial in. tercsts do not appear to be taking an active part so far in the campaign. Roosevelt is recognized by the corpora ton interests as being the idol of the people. Representatives of large inter. ests met admit that there Is no use in trying To beat Roosevelt in ease he is nominated but they believe that he will refuse the honor if offered to him. However, some of them say that they will not take an active part either for Taft or Bryan, SO that outside of the politicians of both parties, many of the leaders of which are against Taft and Bryan, the election promises 10 be tame compared with the campaigns of former years"
 A visit to the Glenn Pool oil fields of Oklahoma, now conceded to be the greatest in the world was also included in Mr. Hall's itinerary. He saw 1900 wells in operation from tho summit of one hill in an area two miles long and one mile wide.
 After attending to some prelimin- aries here connected with the resump. ton of work on his compsny's prop. erty, he will leave for his camp and start operations in the next few days.
