The largest apple ever grown in Arizona-and a Yavapai county prod uet at that-is to be presented to President Taft.
 It will be given to the nation s chief executive by his intimate per sonal friend, John Hays Hammond, the celebrated mining engineer, who left Prescott yesterday morning for Los Angeles, where he will remain for a few days before proceeding to Salt Lake City to join the presiden- tial party.
 Down in southern California they expect to hand the president big lemons-of the real, not the fictitious variety. Yavapai county is willing to rest on its laurels, however, by giving to the nations ruler an apple weighing 23 ounces.
 John Hays Hammond during his brief visit here saw the big apple at the St. Miehaels. He marveled at it's size.

WORK IS OUTLINED FOR
 TIP TOP PROPERTY

A few days ago in this city the an nual meeting of the Tip Top Heatf Mining and Milling company took place and practically the old board were reelected. In connection with the work outlined by this company for the future, the plans considered at this meeting will be of interest in view of the past prominence of this old silver producer.
 i The Tip Top mines in the early days were the most productive of any in the territory, and the yield in the white metal from them will run into the millions of dollars. After the original company ceased work and i the property was taken over by a new syndicate litigation followed, and later the ground of the Hath gold claims about ten miles distant were included in the corporation.
 The purpose of the management at the meeting a few days ago was to erect concentrating mill and later to equip the property with reduc- ton plant of the silver type. The upper workings are to be extended and new ground explored, after which the unwatering of the old shaft will take place. It is the belief of Frank E. Wager, who is experimenting the work at the present time, that when the old workings are again reached and explored, practically identical con ditions in mineral values will be proven as prevailed in years gone He is personally better acquainted with the property than any other miner in this section. having been identified with it since 1883. when work was stopped. From the old dumps the discovery has recently been made that tungsten ore was produced, but this condition was not known in that day owing to the ab- sence of any mineral values in that condition of the ore yield. It is MT. Wager's opinion also that when the old workings are again tapped, veins of this mineral will be found at ev- cry point and which were not worked in the earlier period.

POWER LINE FORCE
 ARRIVES AT MAYER
Large Construction Gang Is Steadily Working Its Way Towards
 This City.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Yesterday the consolidated force of workmen employed by the Arizona Power company, numbering nearly 200 men, reached Walker They will be employed in that vicinity until about the first of the. month, digging holes, erecting the big towers, building houses and extending the line to Poland.
 A busy scene follows the arrival of this force and every branch of the service IS diligently engaged. Wal ker is to be a permanent sub station of this company, and from that point it is the purpose to run their line to the vicinity of the Senator mine and to have it under headway before snow falls.
 Following the completion of the work at Walker, which is to be not later than October first, and possibly sooner, the purpose is to concentrate the entire force on the last lap of the route to Prescott. No cessation what ever will take place when this is

inaugurated, and the various crews will be strung out from Walker to this city. AS fast as the hole dig gers finish their work the tower builders will take their places and it is expected that the line will reach the city limits not later than Novem-, Der first. An abundance of material for this purpose is on hand and when the west end of the Lynx creek range of mountains is passed over, material will be readily supplied the constructing force through wagon roads that lead up Groom creek to the summit. It is expected that the brush men of this force will clear the way to the divide inside of two weeks hence, having completed their work from Walker to Poland.
 Telephone messages from the power plant at Fossil creek received yester- day stated that the third generator had been placed in position and this completes the service in that line, car rying the current to the maximum, and as originally decided upon.

BRAWN OF WEST CAVE AR|ZONANS
 VICTORY

Evidently the writer of the follow
 ing in the Toronto Globe, has seen very few championship drilling match es, or he would have more respect for
 the skill required in the proper handling of the steel. and less to say of the brute-like brawn which he thinks the only requisite in driving steel through flinty granite. But, af- ter all, the story is but an appreeia- tiOn of ,he stalwart. healthy manhood of the western miner, and it is nat ural that the Canadian should seek some excuse for being beaten so ter ITibly bad. It will be remembered that the nearest contestants to Page and Pickens, the Arizonans, lacked nearly thirteen inches of equaling their record.
 To be sure there is the tempering of the steel and the fine calculation and skillful workmanship necessary to get the right gauge, but a hand drill contest depends on the mighty bieeps and the bulldog endurance to smite and smite and smite the cold steel into the granite. There is some thing primitive, some Homeric, in these eOntests-brute force of thew and sinew against the inanimate re- sistance of the flinty rock. Last year in the drilling contest in Cobalt, to be sure, it was discovered that the handle of one of the hammers had been sawed almost through, but, as a rule ,the game admits of no little petty tricks and meanesses that so often make organized sport nauseOus to the most sensitive conscience
 This year long before the date of the contest, on August IS, miners were spending their spare hours in driving the steel into the rock and preparing for the big fight. The con test was left open and, therefore, per mitted of Page and Pickens, the Globe, Ariz., champions, competing. There would have been more local interest If they had not, but Cobalt would have missed a magnificent dis play of Thor-like smiting. It cannot be alleged that it was mere profes- siOnal efficiency in preparing the steel that won them their overwhelm- ing superiority over all local oppo- sition; they were the brawniest and fittest men on the ground. Page, the more famous of the two. is a spare westerner, as tall as his mate, Jim Pickens, but with that easy non ehalance of bearing that is peculiar to the western man. He is lighter than Pickens and one inch less in chest measurement, but his blow is faster if not as might as Pickens'. Pickens looks the giant he is, stiffly set, of soldierlys bearing. As he talks with friends on the Cobalt square he is pre-eminent as type of splendid manhood in country where six-foOt | men are common.
 It is only far to Cobalt to say that it is not ''hand' camp. Steam and | air drills are everywhere and the miner has no practice for the contest in his work, whereas it is the west erner's daily toll. When he packs his little load of steel and dynamite on he burrO and departs into the sage brush wilderness to search for gold, le naturally cannot take air or steam with him. So it is no disgrace if J- 1alt did cut a poor figure against Page and Pickens.

VICE PRESIDENT IS KEEN
 BASEBALL ENTHUSIAST
From Wednesdays Daily

From Wednesdays Daily
 (By H. E. Devendorf Vice President s
 Seeretary.)
 Vice President James S. Sherman may be classed as a really and truly baseball fan. He is pot to be included with the fan whose vocal efforts are heard at every game in jubilant tones when the home team wins, and in carping criticism when it loses. Mir Sherman's voice is seldom heard at a game except in a subdued and conf dential remark to one of his seat mates such as, "'wasn't that bully?' or ''I will bet a bag of peanuts that the total score will be Odd.' Still. Mr. Sherman is a fan. He does not play baseball and never has, but he understands the game thoroughly and scores it so carefully that sometimes in a hurried play on second base he will ask: "Who got that ball. the second baseman or the shortstop!' ana will sometimes change the figures of the score card from 70 to 4' 10 "2 to 5'' if the information he receives warrants it. His total of "hits' and errors' of each team generally agrees with the total of the official scorer. His judgment is keen and good upon the vexed question of a hit or an error, or whether or not the base runner would have been out had the throw been perfect.
 Therefore, the vice president en- joys baseball as a spectator, but for his own physical exercise he dotes on golf. There are better players on the links but none more enthusiastic or who find more pleasure on the course. However when it comes down to a choice between witnessing a baseball game and playing golf, the diamond always wins over the links ! because we have always the links | with us while the home club is away | for half the time
 At a game Mr. sherman is critical !! but charitable. He is always seek 1 ing an excuse for an error and is | liberal with his applause when a play 1 is pulled off that warrants his ad- | miratiOn. High jumps and one-hand- 1 ed ''stabs' are his delight and the smOthering of a sizzling grounder brings forth his appreciation. Then. too, the vice president, being a presid- | ing officer himself, pays close atten- tiOn to the rulings of the umpire and ! here he often finds ground for diff ference. In fact, he generally roots | for the home team and he roots hard | for it on a close decision which may affect the result.
 Mir sherman is a particular friend , of young players who have just l broken into the big leagues and of those whom he believes are about | 10 break in. Frequently at his office in the capitol some of the former players in the Utica club or in the |
 York State league call upon him and are cordially received. and often some notable games up north, in which they have participated, are -alked over These men never depart without a word of encouragement and sometimes a bit of good advice from the man who loves clean athletics and who believes in clean sport as factor in the making of manly men. |

OHIO GovERNoRsHIP
 MAY FALL TO GARFORD
CFrom Wednesdays Daily.)

That A. L. Garford, the Ohio manu-
 facturer and capitalist, who is here
 with the Hammond party, investigat-
 ing mining propositions in this coun-
 ty with a view to investing, will re-
 eeive the Republican nomination for
 governor of the Buckeye state, which
 practically insures election to the
 chief exeeutiveship, is indicated by
 dispatches sent out from Cleveland,
 stating that Garford has the inside track at the present time and that
 in all probability he will be the nominee of the Republican party at the fall election.
 MT. Garford is of the modest, un- assuming type of successful business men. His life story is one which holds out hope for any industrious, painstaking and courageous young man.
 Born on an Ohio farm and endowed with but little of the world goods, he Overcame all difficulties and has risen to a high place in the business world and has amassed fortune through persistent application to busi- ness. He conducts his affairs in manner different from many other business men but he finds that his methods are good payers.
 The Cleveland Leader says of Mir GarfOrd in the course of an article:
 At the time of the financial de- pressiOn in 1907, when so many fac tories suspended operations or ran shOrt-handed, Mir. Garford kept his factory in Elyria running with the usual complement of men, making stock cars.
 When asked at that time how it was that his mill was in operation when so many factories were closed he replied:
 "'The men need the money more than l do. In times of depression | the burden should not fall on labor A. any manufacturer can command l credit it's up to him to take chance'
 He kept 600 men at work during that period, and afterwards explained: Our keeping running was the best thing that ever happened. Everybody said the automobile business would be the first to feel the depression, but I don't care for that. It so happened that people kept buying and we were benefited instead of losing money"
 With all his big business affairs Mir. GarfOrd has not been neglectful of civic duties He has always held hat every man has political duties 10 perform if he would be considered, | publie-spirited citizen. He has never lsked for a public office, but has abored in the ranks as a citizen, standing for the principles of the Republican party.
 He is the strongest kind of a ,ood roads advocate, and the farm ITS of the state know him well. In Washington recently he was made a member. of the advisory board of the , National Republican league, of which , -ohn Hays Hammond is president (
