DRY FARMING FOR
 NORTHERN ARIZONA.
(From Fridav's Daily.l


 Dry farming in northern Arizona is soon to receive its first practical demonstration on an extensive scale and the desert area near Eagles Eye on the A. & C., about 9 miles west of Wickenburg, is the place selected
 Arrangements for the eolonizatiO, by several Swiss families from MinRe- sota, Nebraska, and the Dakotas, have been made and before the pres ent winter passes they will arrive to occupy the land, covering sev- eral hundred acres. The land laws have been complied with and the di- vision of the tracts made.
 The movement is fathered by Fred Cline, a well known resident of Southern Arizona, who has devoted several months to experimental work in the field. He has planted a va riety of seeds and the crops from each was a revelation, no irrigation whatever being had.
 The wheat experiment was pro- nouneed satisfactory, while in alfal- ia, grain and hay the returns were something unusually good. The great est surprise was experienced through an experimental test of the Burbank spineless cactus. Of these Cline placed 33 single leaves in as many hills, and the yield was 235 distinct plants of that variety, each carrying perfectly formed bodies and with the flower peculiar to that growth. The leaves were as smooth as glass and contained none of the priekly pins of the wild desert variety. Following the harvesting of the crop he made feeding experiments with cattle. The animals eagerly ate the food, and in a short time showed the good results

 MT. Cline says that about 40 diff ferent varieties of seed will be sown the first season in order to make careful demonstrations of the fertil- ity of the soil, as to which of them will thrive the best. If it is deemed desirable water will be dug for, and wells at present on the domain show that the greatest depth will not ex- ceed 75 feet. The contour of the country is such that at many points after a well is bored the flow can reach a vast area or a gravity basis, but at other points pumping to the

MOHAVE MINING NEWS.

Dr. L. D. GOdsnall, general manager of the newly acquired interests of the U. s. Smelling & Refining Company has just ordered 16 gasoline hoists to be used in developing some of the recent purchases.
 The Gold Roads mills weekly out put of zinc precipitates was brought in yesterday and amounted to $13,- 900. It is expected that these fig ures will be doubled when the plant is fairly adjusted. ..
 The new milling activity is surely making itself known throughout the county, and especially in Kingman, which is practically the only basis of supplies in the county, and whose accommodations have by no means kept pace with the added business. While the usual spectacular features attending rush camps are lacking, there is nevertheless a general hum of activity. Hotels are continually being overcrowded, buildings are be- ing erected as fast as material can be procured, and new tracts of land are being surveyed and cut into lots. The latest addition to the latter con- sists of a 16O acre tract, of which probably one-fourth has already been sold, though the survey has not yet

CYCLONE BILL" SAYS TEXAS |S TOO
 CROWDED
Pioneer Hikes Back To Arizona For Breath
 ing Space
(From Saturdays Daily)

W. E. Beck, perhaps better known to Arizonans as "Cyelone Bill," is in Tucson for the first time since he returned to the territory from his boyhood home in Texas, a few days ago, says the Tucson Star. MT. Beck insists that there were too many people back in the Lone Star State to suit him. He was not accustomed to the crowds and longed again for the hills of Arizona. At Fl Paso, the first Texas city on his way east, the fair was in progress when MT. Beck reached that point. Too many people for him and he made haste to get out of the Pass City where he has a number of friends. But fate was evidently against him and he encountered another great crowd in San Antonio, where a fair was also in progress. He remained in San Antonio a short time and then went to Houston, but there were no hopes for MT. Beck. A carnival was in progress in Houston. It was up to him to get back to Arizona as soon as he could and his visit was timed accordingly.
 "Cyelone Bill" Beck is a true type of the Arizona "Old Timer" He came to the territory more than thirty years ago and his recent visit to Texas was the first he had made to his boyhood home since leaving there in the late seventies.
 MT. Beck states that the attitude of Texas on the statehood measure is most encouraging to Arizonans. ct surprised me-" he said, "to find so many Texans interested in Ari- zona and New Mexico in this re- spect Texas seems to want state hood for Arizona about as badly as Arizonans do and I think we can de- pend upon their representatives in congress to boost the thing along. While in San Antonio, had occasion to, talk with Senator Culberson. Statehood has a champion in this man. He told me that he would do all within his power this term of congress to bring about separate statehood. Senator Cuiberson is an ardent admirer of Mark Smith and asked me is MT. Smith would not be the first senator from Arizona"
 MT. Beck is at present located in Douglas, but will be in Tucson for several days before returning to the Shelter City.

fees of U. S. Commissioner c. H. Rutherford and swore to information against the couple.
 Chief of Police Fred Hawkins was sworn in as a special deputy U. s. marshal, and arrested them, arriving in Prescott with the couple yesterday.
 Ostoich accompanied them to Pres colt and if an indictment is returned against the runaways, he will take the stand against the man, who, he claims, has broken up his married life.
 Ostoieh says that he has been mar ried for over ten years, and he and his wife are of Austrian blood, while Knivokovieh is a Montenegrian. They had always lived happily together. He says he deeded to his wife property in that country, valued at nearly $l5,000, as a token of the affection he bore toward her. Until a short time ago when Knivokovieh appeared at Raton, he says he never for a moment entertained the least suspi- cion that the woman's love had changed toward him.
 It is learned that Ostoich is well connected in his native country, as in addition to the property he deeded his wife he also has infuen- tial connections in the business world through wealthy relatives. He will remain in this section until the case is disposed of, and intends to return to his native country later.

BARRICADE FAILED
 TO BUFFALO" COOK.
(From Fridays Daily.)

''The battle of the box car" should be the theme of a thrilling and at the same time highly amusing transaction that was pulled of in this city yesterday afternoon when Pat Sullivan, Dan Haley and Roy Auston, hoboes, were attacked in their lumber barrieade by Deputy Sheriff Cook and his able ieuten- ants, W. H. Hoover and Garland Cornell, and compelled to hoist the white flag after all the ammunition they had in stock was exhausted.
 The three hoboes entered a wooden ear on which the seal was broken, and were detected by MT. Hoover, the freight agent. They were found tucked away behind a barrieade of several thousand feet of lumber and the fun started when an effort was made to catch them. As fast as a board was removed through the door another was showed to take its place by the hobo defenders.
 This procedure continued until a big pile of lumber was taken out.
 One of the trio said, after being placed under arrest, "Well, we fell with our boots on, anyway"
 Quite a crowd was attracted to the scene and the volunteer officers de- clare that the task was too arduous for them to follow that vocation more.
 The railroad officials feel that the statute should be amended in spe- eifie cases of this kind so that the guilty shall be compelled to load the lumber in the ear again, and at the same rate of speed they filled the hole as it was being taken out, which was going some.

 LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dee. 9.-Al- bert T. Ryan, former Western Fed eration organizer in Arizona, will have to stand trial for the murder of Otto Miller and Harry Snyder, the question of his sanity having de- elared him sane.
 Physicians who examined Ryan and testified they believed him to be insane were Drs. James T. Fischer, H. G. Brainerd, John B. Adams, War ren NJ. Horton and Fred c. Shurt- Jeff. The latter said his examination disclosed a depression on Ryan head, the result, Ryan told him, of an irjury sustained when a rock fell and struck him in a mine shaft.
 Dr. Charles B. Nichols, called by District Attorney Fredericks, said he had examined Ryan twice during the past two days, and believed he was stimulating insanity. Other med ical testimony to the same effect was offered by the prosecution.

places under cultivation will be nee essary. The soil is of a soft loam, and the absence of sand is one of the desirable features of the pro- jeet.
 MT. Cline made the additional statement that in the first crop he will plant there will be 1000 leaves of the spineless cactus of the Bur bank variety, and from this growth alone he feels assured for the first year a financial success through feed for beef cattle for the market.

THE JoURNAL-MINER.

By Associated Press.
 LOS ANGELES, Dec. 9.-The trial of Albert Ryan, formerly organizer for the Western Federation of Miners in Arizona, who killed two men and wounded a third in a hotel here in July, suddenly terminated today, when Ryan pleaded guilty to murder in the first degree, entailing a sen tence of death or life imprisonment
 Ryan's victims were Otto Miller, hotel porter, and Harry Snider. Ryan pleaded insanity at first, but was adjudged sane by a jury yes terday.
 The sudden termination of the Ryan case came as a decided sur prise, as it had been expected that the attorneys for Ryan would put up a vigorous defense and that an effort would be made to show that their client was insane. It is supposed, however, that the verdict returned yesterday by the special jury which found Ryan sane caused a change in their plans.

FORM OF PEDIGREE.
Simple But Effective Manner Of Keep
ing the Record.

The inhabitants of Iceland have Kept
their pedigrees in jealous way. Mum.
bers of them can trace their descent
from the Vikings who emigrated from
Norway to Iceland in the ninth cen.
tury. Unlike many other countries
there have never been really any no
bles in this island the nation having
ever been a republic in spirit Conse-
quent upon the smallness of the popu-
lation there has been a considerable
amount of inbreeding. and all Iceland
ers seem to be cousins There is an
old Icelandic adage which translate ed
into English reads: Cousins are worst
to cousins" The most curious circum-
stance in this connection is that there
are scarcely any surnames, as known
on the American continent. As a dis
tinctive mark an Icelander places his
fathers Christian name after his own
Christian name, adding to the former
sson," which signifies "the son Of"
and this is continued from generation
to generation. An Icelandic pedigree
reads as follows: Thorstein AS
giersson, Sigurd Thorsteinsson, Einar
Sigurdsson. Baldur Einarsson, Thor
stein Baldursson, Hafstein Thor
steinsson, and so on.
