HAS CRUEL WORDS FOR
 LEAN K1NE OF PHOENIX
tFrom Thursdays DaiIy)

IlatiNl
 Prescott people eat better grade of beef than the residents of Phoenix and the Salt River valley and Joe Roberts furnishes the greater part of it."
 This is the statement made last night by A. C. Mcqueen, live stock agent of the $. F., F. & F. and leased lines. to Journal-Miner representative.
 Residents of Prescott do not ap. preciate the enterprise of Joe Rob. erts,' he said. He purchases none but the highest grade beef raised in the Salt River valley for consumption in Prescott. He has carload of fat white faced Hereford steers now on the way here from Mesa for the Christmas market, which is pronounced shipped out of the valley this year. There are % steers in the consign. ment averaging in weight l,0j0 pounds. Every animal in the carload is high grade Hereford. all being re. markably healthy and even in weight.
 "This class of beef is not sold in the Phoenix butcher shops. The poor. CT grades are used for home conump- tion. Roberts is a wide awake bus. mess. He purchases nothing but the best realizing that it is cheaper to pay freight on nigh grade beeves than those of poorer stock, the percentage of loss being less on the former"
 Agent Mcqueen arrived nere yes. terday afternoon from his home in Mesa. He said that it has raincd in the valley since Sunday afternoon. He criticizes the city authorities of Phoe. nix for not keeping the street cross ings psssable for pedestrians.
 "It is a pleasure to visit Prescott in stormy weather,'' he said. "rhe sidewalks and crossings are always clean and the crossings free from mud and slusn. In Phoenix it is different. storms pass unnoticed by the author ities and the crossings are invariably covered by mud and slush. stormy weather in the capital city always means harvest to the cabbies who drive nell mell through the streets and over street crossings buried out of sight, their vehicles in many instances showering passersby with the diluted and fertilized Salt River calley soil. l"

The company has been pump. ing this water back into the mill and treating it in the usual way the past year and have cleaned up many thous- ands of dollars from the waste waters of the big tsilings dumps.
 The discovery that the waters run ming down the canyon from the tail ings dumps contained a small percent age of gold in solution was due to in vsstigations of James r. Carter, who with Henry Lovin, obtained a lease of these waters and extracted over s3o,- 900 in one year. The company then terminated the lease. since which time it has been recovering the gold in so- lution.
 It Is reported from the Golden Gsm mine that there is a streak of solid metal in the bottom of the shaft that will run above twenty ounces gold to the ton, while large bodies of lower grade ore is showing up. Tae mine never looked better, not even in its palmiest days.
 A. l.. MeKesson has leased part of his Holy Moses mining claim 10 Alg~s Brothers. The lessees will go to work on the mine at once and will have their ores milled at the mine. They have . nice streak of good ore to begin worh on and expect to make q nice thing cat of the lease.
 McKesson this week bought the gasoline holster at tae F. K. min.. Stockton Hill, and removed it to kiE Holy Moses mine, south of kingmAa. He will at once begin sinking the shaft on that property to the 100 foot level, At which level drift. vii be rua oif on the vein. He expects to strike a strong flow of water in this shaft and will use it in milling the ores
 from the mine.
 Al the present level (o5 feei) he has on. of the richest bodies of ore ever opened up in this part of the eousty. The vein has widened cut Co i've feet
