RAIN BADLY NEEDED
 ON SHEEP RANGES
(from Wednesdays Daily.)

Joe Roberts. who returned Monday night from his sheep ranch in the Del Rio country. states that there are about 5O,0OO head of the woody crea. lures in that vicinity now, being dip ped in accordance with the provisions of the dipping law. He added that the sheep are in fine condition, exception. ally free from scabbics or other dis. ease.
 Mir. Roberts attention was attracted to the dry condition of the range in the sections he visited. caused by the heavy winds which have lately ragged inis vicinity. He declared rain is badly needed and that the range would he in . bad way soon if the winds did not cease, or rain fall
 Stock and sheep men unite in declar. ing that one day of wind such as nas blown lately will withdraw as much moisture from the earth as would ten days of ordinary hot weather.

company, made yesterday to a Journal. Miner representative, that he had never received notification to repair the bridge in question, Clerk Moden has on file copies of letters sent to MT wrignt upon the instruction of the council, ask. ing him to repair the bridge or vacate it. Councilman A. ]. Head is also au. thority for the assertion that bc, as a councilman. notified NIT. Wright to re. pair tho bridge. and that the latter re- fused.
 When the matter came up some time ago in tho district court, the street rail. way company attorneys made the ale. gation had been promised the use of the Granite Greek bridge in return for the company building the East Gurley street bridge. No records of such agreement, however, exists in the re. cords of the city, or past council pro. cccdings. In fact, there seems to be no record of any agreement between the street railway company and the city, except the granting 'c MT. Wright of the franchise.
 As stated yesterday, the situation al present between ;hc city and the street car company seems to be wait ing game on both sides. The company was notified to cease using the Granite Creek bridge Sunday at midnight. and did so The city's position is that thc company has no rights over the bridge, and must keep it in repair in return for the use of if. Tho company alleges it stands ready to do anything in reason, and is waiting to hear what the city wants done. Tho city is waiting to hear MT. wright's proposition.
 And there the matter stands, except taat it is rumored that when the coun. cil meets Monday evening petition signed by West Prescott people be pre- scn,cd, praying that the council allow tho street car company the use of the Granite Creek bridge.

\ special correspondent of the Phoc' nix Republican. writing from Patngo- nia under date of May 22, says;
 This week the writer visited n sec ton of the Santa Rita mountains where mines were worked for high grade sil yer ore in the days before Geronimo's bloody raids; mines from which the workers were driven by the Indians after many skirmishes, in which some of them los, their lives. Many who lcf, the section in those days never re- turned and their former holdings lay idle and abandoned for years, while timbcrs routed and shafts caved in. Many of the old properties have been
 relocated and are now being prospect cd by men who will work to lower depth, seeking not only the rich silver ores tnnt are found near the surface. but lead, copper, gold or whatsoever useful metal may be found in the depths below.
 One of the old mines is included in the Jersey Girl group of claims, owned by Josiah Bond, about a mile from the Alto and the Wandering Jew mines and the old shaf, is said to be 200 feet deep. but it is not in condition to en 1 ter and the present owner has never i been to the bottom. The ofc mined m the early days was sacked and shipped bu, all over the dump there is higl grade silver ore, in the form of ehlo rides, bromidcs and sulphides Mir Bond will not attempt to do any worl in the old shaft for the present, bu will tunnel into the hill on the vein from down in the gulch.

NEW YORK. May 20 The looked for break in stock market prices came with the opening of the week. As pre- dictcd. the price level of Ijo for Union Pacific was the turning point an! reae- tions from that price level have been sharp and swift.

NO SUICIDE. JUST A
 PLAIN CASE OF DRUNK
0From Thursdays Daily)

Twas . gruesome sight that met the startled gaze of pedestrians vending their way over the Granite street bridge Tuesday. Lying prone upon the ground beneath the structure, his head hanging listlcssly over one extended arm, his face pressing close to the soft earth of the creek bank, was the outstretehed body of a large, well.built man, while dangling from beam of the bridg" was a stout. scrviceable rope, one end apparently around the mans neck.
 Clearly, to those who gathered On the bridge to view the spectacle, it was n case of suicide. Or, perhaps, the net results of n lynching bee pulled of under cover of the previous night 's darkness.
 X hurry call was turncd in for an ambulance. the police, doctor and an undertaken, while the ever increasing crowd gazed in awe upon the scene and speculated as to the causes which had led to the ending of a life in this ruth less manner.
 "Maybe he killed himself cause the street cars stopped running over this bridge" hazarded one, while others aired their opinions.
 Presently one of the crowd, mor' bold than the rest, descended to the creek bank to make n closer inspection of the body and found live, able bodied man, soundly wrapped in th' arms of Morpheus, and pressed to h breast of John Barleycorn, state oi being which doubtless made the cre"S bed seem to him . feather bed in th' St Michael hotel, while the loose en' of the dangling rope was merely lyins across his neck.
 As the crowd disgucstedly dispersed n small boy who had just arrived, san, out:

PLAN TO GIVE YAvAPAI
 BEST ROADS IN ARIZONA
,Frcm wsdas.a.ss pai,ys

To give Yavzpai ounty the best WE 2on roads 10 bc found in the territory IS the objct of a movement now on foot to form an organization to assist, in any way possible, the board of super visors in constructing good wagon roads throughout the county, and keep Ing them in repair.
 X large number of the citizens of this county have been agtating the subject of improving the county roads for some time past. and this agitation now gives promise of crystalizing into definite action. II is believed that a citizenship movement in an organizch way will greatly assist the supcrvisora' board, which is, and has been for some time. deeply interested in the subject of adopting some practical and bene' hcial method of oxpending the moneys appropriated for road purposes.
 No money has so far been wasted or foolishly spent, as far as county roads are concerned, but it is believed that by concerted action on the part of th" citizens of the county with tho super visors much more good can bc accom- plished,
 IL has been suggested that few miles or good roadbed, of a permanent character, should be built each y,ar. Tn addition to keeping all the present roads in excellent shape. lt has also been suggested that some person shonld he selected bv the supervisors who will he charged with the responsi hili,y of surveying such road. and b' nut in charge and he'd responsible fo' its construction and the expenditure o' she money appropriated for such pur pose.
 The proposition of utilizing misd' meanor and able.bodicd jail prisoner m the construction and maintenance o' county roads and highways has als' been suggested. At present the county jail prisoners do absolutely nothing save an occasional hi, of work on tn court house plaza. In many states, an' in New Mexico, county jail prisoner arc sentenced to hard labor, and arr then put to work on the county road' with the result that the roads of sue counties are kept in axccilent shape greatly reduced cost over counties ! states which have no sueh law.
 In New Mexico scenic route tha will doubtless prove almost as attrnc' i've to tourists as will Arizona's grea Grand Canyon is being built with cor vict labor, and the county roads Of tn sister territory are kept in the best condition by prisoners.
 These are but few of the question that will confront the citizens who ma become interested in this good roa' movement. To ascertain the will of tl

Wood was ap. pointed to look after the printing of the circular letters and lists of aues- tions to be sent out. as soon as possi. ble, with stamped and addressed cn velope enclosed, SO that the recipient will be at no expense whatever in ex. pressing his views on the matter.
 It is expected that, as a result of this procedure, large number of good highways advocates will he on hand at the mass meeting to bc held in this city Monday evening. June l5, in the court house, at which time it is intend. ed to adopt articles of association and permanently organize the Good Roads Association. The call for the meeting is given in full below:
 Dear Sir. 4 number of the citizens of the county have been agita,ing the subject of the improvement of our public roads. It is believed a citizen. ship movement in an organized way will greatly assist the Board of Super. visors now already interested in the subject. in adopting a plan or method of the expenditure of the moneys ap. propriated for road purposes. IL is thought some civil engineer or person should bc selected by the Board of Su. pervisors and placed in charge, with the duty of surveying the roads and require their construction and repair according to grade, and supervise such construction as well as the cxpcn ii. ! lures.
 For the purpose of placing the sub. ject before the people at large and oh. | taining an expression of their common | view, it has been determined Co call q mass meeting to bc held at the court house, in Prescott. on Monday night; the 18th day of June, 1908 Al thi, meeting it is proposed if the subject is finally approved. 10 adopt articles of association and permanently organize s Good Roads Association.

 We will bc greatly obliged if y,u will give this matter careful thought and answer the questions and retur them to us. In this way you may as sist what is nopcd will prove steI for permanent development and benefit to our entire county. and ultimately th, territory.
