CROP AT THE COLLEGE
FARM Is CUT SHORT
Students Had Fine Pros
peCt Recently.

While the crop of the college farm
here will turn out very we'll, con-
sidering unfavorable weather condi-
tions, the cotton crop is going to
be short there as elsewhere. The
boys of the agricultural college plant
ed and cultivated the crops, almost
without outside assistance, and during
the long summer vacation four OF
five of the students volunteered to
remain there and look arter farm
work in reference to going to dis
tant homes, although they will be
compensated therefor. Good crops OF
corn, oats and cane have been made,
while a fine pea vine hay crop is
yet to be harvested The boys had
sixteen acres in cotton and at one
time expected to gather at least nine
or ten bales, but the August drought
injured their crop as it did others
and the yield may low be cut to six
or seven bales. Next year the crop
prospect will be given even more
attention and increased and abund-
ant crops of many varieties will be
gathered by these plucky young fell
lows who know how to work-and do

INJURY is SEVERE BUT
BOTH ARE DOING WELL
Young Eldridge and Gdrtner
Doing Well.

Leonard Gartner and Doctor Ed
ridge, the two lads so seriously
wounded while out hunting Wednes-
day by the accidental discharge of
their gun, will recover, although
both had an exceedingly narrow es-
cape and will be kept confined for
some time. When their. wounds were
dressed yesterday it was ascertained
that the injuries were scarcely as
serious as at first feared Each boy
was shot in three places, the course
of the gun charge being rather re-
markable. Young Gartner had the
closest call, as had not the load of
shot glanced upon striking his right
hip bone it would have entered the
abdomen, and perhaps with fatal re-
suit. 1t was another case wherein
the "unloaded" gun did mischief, as
both boys supposed the weapon un-
loaded when it was rammed under
the buggy seat only to explode while
they held the muzzle.

DECISION IN FAVOR OF
CITY IS RENDERED
By Auditor in Murray Case
Pending.

In the case of the City of Ameri-
Gus versus C. w Murray and the
United States Fidelity and Guaranty
Co, of Baltimore, the judgment of
the auditors court before whom the
case was heard is in favor of the city
in the sum of $118143 principal and
the further sum of $202.87 as costs
and interest to time of filing the
report. Mr. Murray, as is we'll
known, was formerly city engineer of
Americus, and at the time of his re-
tirement from office there was an
alleged discrepancy in his books in
the"sum of near $1,000 Demand was
made by the city upon his bond, is,
sued by the above named company
Claim was resisted upon the ground
that Mr.. Murray was not indebted to
the city of Americus in the amount
named, and if such errors existed
they were clerical only. Suit was in
stituted by the city and the case was
referred by Judge Littlejohn of the
superior court, to Col. w T. Lane as
special auditor for investigation and
report. Several sittings were held
and Mr. Murray, represented by
able counsel as was the bond com
pany, was heard at length. Auditor
Lane has just completed his report
and filed same with the clerk of court
the finding being in favor of the city
of Americus to the amount of the
sums named.

Agricultural College Will

Recitations will begin at the Agri-

rolled including representatives of
some of the leading families of the

When it came to classifying the
students, it was found that it would
be necessary to provide for a Junior

THINKS THE PRICE OF
COTTON WILL GO LOW
Mill Owner Not Optimistic
on Prices.

In Americus yesterday farmers
seemed bit 10th to accept current
prices, around 5-S to 3-4, for fine
cotton, but the prices of the staple
may go even lower until the rush of
bales to market is over with and
the big mills~well supplied. A prom
inent mill owner is quoted as ex-
pressing the belief that the cotton
prices this year will not come up
anything near to those of last. He
says that lower cotton will come
about as the result of the conditions
of the market and the way the mills
are buying He stated that many of
the mills are employing hand
to mouth method of buying the staple.

CALIFORNIA MAN
 PRAISES BISBEE

Editor Daily Review
 1 am about to leave for my faraway home. and believing that the impres- sions of a stranger, and visitor, might not be amiss, I have concluded to give your readers a few thoughts through your valuable paper.
 Before setting foot within your gates, I had pictured the City of Bis bee, entirely different from what I found her. I expected to find typical border mining town, but how great my surprise, and how agreeable my disappointment. Instead of shanties, cabins and adobe structures for homes, my eyes opened on a pretty city of beautiful homes, peOpled with a bright and intelligent class, second to none. anywhere. For the City of Bisbee, I must say that it is one of the most picturesque as well as artistic towns that it has ever been my pleasure to visit
 Your handsome built homes, rising one above the other for hundreds of feet, terrace upon terrace, until you have almost capped the mountains, which surround your city, is surely a picture worthy of observation.
 Look at grand old Castle Rock, tow ering up in your midst like a sentinel, put there by the Architect of the Uni verse, as the watch tower of your homes. When your people built their homes, streets and alleys, they did not build at all times to suit them selves, but built as nature laid the plans. thus making your city far more beautiful than if conditions had been more favorable.
 Of your people let me say a word. Never in all my life and travels. have I met with a more courteous and obtig- ing people, than right here in the Guy of Bisbee. If I called at the post of fee, I received at the hands of Post master Cassidy, and his efficient as sistant and clerks every attenticr wished for. The same must be said of Wells-Fargo's people, and the

This will avoid all condensation and leak age past the valves, winch is a source of notable expense in hoisting en- gines.
 At present the system is practically complete and during the month of July it is expected that all changes will be made from the old system to the new. It has involved very large expenditure, but it is expected that a corresponding economy will be obtained in operation. This economy will make # possible to mine cheaper t.'a s. 1 irCiit than has heretofore been done, and as a consequence tine amount of ore reserves will be consid erably increased, and the life of the mine in proportion.

In Cnnclusinn

Considered as a whole, the i'm provements inaugurated in the War ren district during the twelve months are most remarkable in extent and aggregate cost, considering the busf- mess conditions that have prevailed during the greater part of the period. It shows unbOunded faith in the big mining district, which produces 250- 100000 pounds Of copper annually, and can easily exceed that total. The future of the district is the brightest Imaginable and every resident is booster. who is always ready to back up his boosting with cash investment Naturally, hard times touch such community lightly. for hard times, such as the country is now passing through, are largely a product of the human imagination, giving rise to an excess of caution not called for by actual conditions. It is, therefore, safe to predict that what has been ac- complished during the past year will .te exceeded by the record Of the year to come.

Calumet 6 Arizona.

The big improvement effected by
 he Calumet & Arizona Mining com qany, as distinguished from actual mining, has been the erection of a great central electric power house at the Oliver shaft, for the purpose of supplying power to the new railway connecting the upper and lower ends of the district This power house and it's equipment need to be seen to be appreciated. as everything is of the most modern type, and the ma ChiAery Of high power The many grade and curves Of the railroad has called for a central power plant which hcs many features different rom the ordinary. The description of the railroad iself will give some adequate idea of what has been de manded in the way of a modern pow CT plant.

When the trees have been planted in the Vista it will give one of the most delightful outlooks and prospects in the southwest.
 Another example of the mission type is, the home of Joseph E. Curry, chief clerk of the Calumet 6 Arizona Mining company, and while not so large as the Douglas home, is distinc- tive in it's mission type and follows in it's lines the general thought of the mission fathers. It is also furnished throughout with the mission idea.

Copper Queen Mines


 By far the most important i'm pTovement in the district has been effected in the mines of the Conner Queen Consolidated Mining Company. which has continued it's operations las usual throughout the dull season. and the. extraction of ore has been normal. But the amount of eVplora. ton and development work has been largely increased, particular latten- ton being devoted to opening up new territory. This has included consid- erable work tow;Td the Slattuck properties. the extension of drifts from the Lowell shaft and other work on the deeper levels of the Lowell in the vicinity of the Den Norte claim of the s. & P. group. The Uncle San shaft has been sunk GOO feet and should connect with the drifts from the Car and Holbrook by the end Of July. It will be used for con venience in extending exploration drifts from that point. Both the Low ell and Sacramento shafts have been deepened, the Lowell shaft now be- ing more than 1,4OO feet in depth, and the Sacramento sunk from the 1 1 .0O0 to the 1,20 level The explora- ton work in new ground has been generally very encouraging and con siderable ore has been discovered in the older properties of the company, while more thoroughly exploring them. But the most important work Of the Copper Queen mines has been that of changing the present method of gen erating power and handling ore from the stopes to the railroad cars. At present each working shaft has it's own boiler plant, from which hoists. pumps, saw mills and other machinery are operated. The changes which are being made have involved the con struction of a central power plant, from which all power used on the properties will be distributed; the in-
