YAVAPAI COUNTY JAIL .s.i,,
 IS VERY BEST IN ARIZONA
eRrom Sundays Dany].

That the Yavapai county jail is the best in the Territory, is the opinion of Sheriff Walter Brown of Mohave eouD- ". who closed a contract yesterday with the supervisors for the care and feed of desperate men being beld for trial by him. +

He was captured by Sheriff Brown after man hunt lasting five days through the rocky and desert re- aions and mountain fastnesses of Mo have county. .-
 Brynes is accused of killing a fel- low miner and secretary of the ChlO- ride miners union. The killing is al- legged to have been the climax of an old gTudge.
 q am anxious that these men be tried for their erime,'' Sheriff Brown said. "and know of no safer or better iail in the Territory than the county ian here. have entered into an agreement with the board of supervis- ors for the keeping of these desperate men. am so well satisfied with the jail and its management by the sheriff 's office that l believe escape from it IS impossible, and believing this have agreed to a clause in the agreement that releases Yavapai county from any damages in case of the escape of any of my prisoners. 4, sick woman can get out of the Mohave county jail. 1 do not care to trust men like Beckiey and Brynes there any longer"

tFrom Tuesdays Daily


 About fifteen years ago the "'valu- able properties" of Canaigre were her aided widely as substitute for and much superior to oak. mark for tanning purposes and the fortunes that could be made in setting out plantations of this root in the arid regions were said to be phenomenal. But nothing was said of the cost of producing the crop nor the expense incident to extracting the tannin and thoFepam. Did any one ever hear of these alleged fortunes materalizinga Echo answers.
 Then came along another set of grafters with both roots and lands to sell, landing to ths skies the "hsg money" there was in growing gensing- so extensively used by the Chinese as eure-an. Has anyone heard of any great fortunes being made from eulsi- vsting that Plaptl

The tenor of these articles has been, so far as the present writer has observed; to large degree Optimis- tie. The amount of the plant available and it's gain in value, the porfts of the business and especially the future prospects have been eolOred so highly that one suspects that some at least of these articles have been inspired by interested parties.
 s..RepOrts have come to me recently of parties operating in the southwest, attempting to sell stock in concerns whose avowed object is the growing of guayule. While the attempt to grow the plant is in itself eommendable enterprise, the selling of the stock to- the public is utterly without watrauS, for the business is doomed to failure from the beginning. The writer knows whereof he speaks, since he has been carrying on researches for the last two years of those very large companies in Mexico concerned in the manufacture of guayule rubber.
 "'If parties contemplating invest ment in such an enterprise desire more specific information the undersigned will be glad to give it. The details or the researches on the guayule are soon to be published in a forthcoming book under the point authorship of the in 1, vestigators, when the reasons for the above statements will be clear to ah l hope that this may prevent invest ment in a ruinOus business.

SINCERE REGARD IS
 SHOWN GOV. KIBBEY
eFrom snndaII,s s pallyl

On Friday morning the friends of Governor Joseph H: Kibbey evinced in manner more substantial than words the high esteem in which he was held by those who were benefeiaries under his administration.
 These manifest tokens H of regard consisted of eut-glass. water service, a silver set and handsome gold watch beautifully enserbed.
 The presentations took place in the office of the governor; at Phoenix about II o'clock. Dr. Ketcherside of the insane asylum on behalf of the em- ployes of that institution presented the governor beautiful cut glass water service, accompanied by a few welLehosen words.
 On behalf of the prison guards and other employees of the penitentiary Captain Rynning rendered the chief ex- eeutive' 254- 4-pieee gold-mounted cher " chest of solid silver, enseribed upon each article with-the initials "J-H.K." ;"
 As climax to these tributes of re- gard was the presentation by Attor- ney General Clark of beautifully de- signed Swiss gold watch, who sald, among other things: Ut has been deemed fitting that in retiring from office vou should take with you me mento of our esteem, which, though slight in value, has been chosen because the metal of which it IS made is taken as the standard in all monetary trans actions. because of its intrinsic worth. For this reason, we think it fairly typifes your character as man and an official, as well as the singular pur- ity of your administration"
 The watch was enscribed as follows;

The governor, so soon to retire, was sincerely touched by these mementos, and in 9 voice deep with emotion re- piled that, taken completely by sur prise. as he was, he could not find words sufficiently expressive to give vent to his appreciation of those tok- ems of regard, but he wished to emPha- size the fact that such measure of sue cess as had been witnessed in his ad- ministration was due in large measure to the character and efficiency of his officers and them employees, whom he believed were above the average eff fciey of those who occupy similar po- sitions in many of the states.
