 WARRIOR PROPERTY
CFrnm Sundays Dailyl


 The Phoenix Gazette says that Ac- eording to reports, practically con frmed by. talegraphie dispatches from the east, received by local people, the biggest transfer of mining prop erty made in the Globe district or in Arizona in several years has just been put through by the Warrior Copper company by the sale of its in terests to a group of eastern capital ists, including men experienced in copper mining.
 The purchase price is said on good authority to be $2,OOO,eOO. Of this amount $l,OOO,OOO is to be paid in cash and $1,OOO,OOO in stock will be offered in payment of the remainder
 The copper magnates forming the new company taking over the Warrior Copper eOmpany's interests are said to be men who have operated sue eessfully in other parts of the eOun- try heretofore, but it is understood that they have never before done business in the Arizona field. The name of the new company .s with held for the present, but will prob ably be made known upon the arrival in Globe of F. NJ. White, who has been in charge of operations at the Warrior mine for some time past. MT. White is now in Philadelphia, where it is said the arrangements for the transfer of the Warrior property have been made. It is possible that MT.

DRAWING IS
 SUCCESSFULLY CONDUCTED
CFrom Sundays Daily)

The grand drawing for lots in Idylwild tract, the new suburb of Prescott. set aside especially for Phoenix people, was held at 10 o'clock, Friday morning, at the of flee of the Arizona Auction and Development company, on South First avenue, says the Phoenix Gazette.
 B. W. Getsinger, the auetioneer, acted as general master of ceremon- ies. About a hundred purchasers of lots were present, including some of the most prominent citizens of PhOe- nix.
 Each purchaser had a vote upon how the drawing should be made. Several suggestions were made but IL was finally decided that two boxes should be used. In one the. numbers of the 400 lots were placed and in the other the purchasers names. Each individual had his name placed in the box once for each lot he had bought.
 Then two little girls drew the numbers and names. One girl would draw a name and the other a num- Der for it. It was announced be- forehand that if anyone drew a lot upon which a house could not be erected it would be exchanged for another. Few exchanges will be made.
 In all about 200 lots were appor- tioned and everyone went away well pleased with the result.

PLAZA TO BE LIGHTED.

Yesterday a committee of Prescott business men appeared before the board of supervisors for a conference on the matter of lighting the plaza. The board endorsed the plan and a contract with the Prescott Electric company was agreed upon. It was decided to erect seven masts for the purpose. each to be twenty-two feet high. These masts will be located on each corner of the square, with one in each of the center side lines, and. one between the Rough Rider monument and the court house. On top of each mast there will be four lights. each of so candlepower. At 12 clock every night two of these lights will be turned off; the others burning until daylight. The contract is a permanent one, and general sat isfaetion is expressed that the most inviting part of the city is to be re- heved of the gloomy aspect that has formerly prevailed.

COWBOY SPORTS IN
 LABOR DAY PROGRAM
CFrom Sundays Daily)


 More interest is manifested by the rangemen this year in the cowboy sports outlined for Labor Day than ever before, and it is the confident opinion of Joe Cook, the chairman of these sports, that a TeeOrd-break- ing number of entries will be re- ceived. It is also a fact that more cowboys are again in the saddle this year than for a long time, the industry seeming to be re-established along the old lines, prosperous con ditions prevailing throughout the county.
 In these sports the relay race around the plaza will bring to the front some of the most expert horse, men in the county, and this event also will be the one to bring the skilled men forward, at least fifteen being desirous of trying out their ability with horse and saddle.
 Each contestant is to bring his horse to the corner of the plaza, in front of the St. Michael, with "a bridle on. At the word "Gol'' he IS to place the saddle on the back of the animal and race around the plaza once, stopping at the. point he start. ed from. The saddle then is to be removed and placed on another ami mal and similar run made around the plaza, time to be called when he again passes under the wire at the starting point.
 No particular skill is called for in this work, but the test will come in taking of and putting on the sad dle. Fleetness of the animal will also be a factor. These sports will be very interesting, and several of the boys on the range are already in practice for the events.
 The broneho busting tests will take place at the baseball park, this place having been chosen so that a fair view may be had, and the danger of the animal breaking into the crowds obviated. So far eight skulfull rid CTS have signifed their intention of entering, and some of the horses they will bring are said to be the best in the county, and hard to stick to when they get into action. In this contest nothing but slick saddles will be permitted, and the horse that bucks the hardest and the man who rides the best will win. r In the relay races, the winner will receive S1OO, and the second best, S75. In the broneho busting, the best rider will take down $75, and the second best, $50.

KELLY HAS A GOOD
 PROPOSITION IN SILVER
CFrom Sundays Dailv)

Those conversant with the mine work going on at the Summit claim of J.E. Kelly, near the Derby mine, say that it is turning out to be one of the best silver propositions in this field. and that when greater depth is reached it will undoubtedly prove to be a magnificent producer.
 MT. Kelly, the owner, is now en- gagged in running on the vein on this mine, and when it is finished will reach a depth of about POD feet. The vein he is cutting on IS but four inches wide, but it carries values of All ounces of the white metal, and several hundred pounds are on the dump from the work that has been done.
 The ore taken out IS chloride, and in the former work native silver was also present. Mining men are watching this development, and sev- eral desirous to purchase the ground have recently been to inspect it.
 The small vein is the only object ion to taking it over, but that this condition will change with depth, or when the water level is reached, is the opinion of many.
 The zone in which this mine is located seems to be an independent one in mineral character from other mines both north and south. the pre- vailing yield being gold and copper, The Summit carries no other values than silver.
 When the Humboldt smelter was in operation, several tons were ship, ped from this mine that netted the owners $1O2 per ton, fand now that the smelter is again to start up Mir. Kelly desires to get the ore out and receive the benefit of ready market. .. .-..f.

NO HEIRS FOUND TO THE
 LATE R. E. ANDREWS
eFrom Sundays Daily)

fFrom Sundays DailyO
 Yavapai county received yesterday a donation of over S1,OOO through the probating of the will of the late D. F. Andrews. -.
 It came about when A. W. Ed wards, the administrator of the es- tate. filed his final accounts, which were allowed, approved and settled by Probate Judge Hicks. The ad- -ministratOr was charged with having received the sum of $4,924.27 and credited with having paid out the sum of $3,533.3S, debts of the de ceased and expenses of administra- tion, leaving a balance of cash on hand of sl,39O.s9.
 The estate then being ready for distribution and in condition to be closed and there being no known heirs of Mr. Andrews, the admins trator waived the right of holding said balance, and an order was made distributing it to the unknown heirs, and it was ordered paid into the treasury of Yavapai county. This was immediately done by MT. Edwards, who later produced the re eeipt of the treasurer. An order was then made by the probate judge dis; charging the administrator and clos ing the estate.
 This sum is practically a gift to the county. Behind it is an interest itEkstorN. .Mr. Andrews passed away and not a trace of any living rela- tive could be found. Andrews died in this city on July 8, 1908, at the Mercy hospital. In all his effects nothing was found that gave a clue to any family connection, nor would he, previous to the end, inform anyone who he was or where he came from
 While residing in Walnut Grove and at Crown King, in each place for several years, he never spoke of his family or birthplace. Eli Bates, his partner in farming land at Walnut Grove, and R. c. Frank, his mining partner at Crown King for years, were also ignorant of the man SO far as his past was concerned. 4 few minutes before the end came he requested that his money interests and property be deeded to MT. Bates and Mir. Frank, but when the deeds were placed before him for his sig nature he was dying.
 The case of NIT. Andrews is iden- tical with one of a few years ago, when Mrs. John Taylor, well known to many Arizonans, passed away, and up to the present time no relations have come forward to claim over $1, ,OOO.' Edward Bolger also left close to 5000 behind, without claimants, although everybody in this section knew him well.
 The supposition of many close friends of MT. Andrews is that he was carrying through life a heavy burden of sorrow, and that he de- sired that it go with him to the grave.

Miss Heads Success.

daughter of MT. and Mrs. A. T. Head of this city, with two of her class mates from the Boston Conservatory of Music, is utilizing a portion of her summer vacation in making concert tour through the principal cities of Texas and New Mexico. They are doing. this for the expert ence that public work brings to them, and have made a hit wherever they have appeared. They appear under the name of the Hilton trio, and af- ter their concert at Albuquerque, on Wednesday night, the Citizen praised them in these words:
 "That Miss Hilton, violinist; Miss Head, contralto, and Miss Chapman, pianist, have exceptional ability in their respective musical spheres, coupled with exceptional education and training, was demonstrated by the reception accorded them last evening by an audience which was disposed to be critical. The concert was one of the musical treats of the year in this city, and the young ladies had the good sense to so ar range their program that it was not classical; yet simply displayed their ability in" theif particular lines all of which was further proof of their art. .- .+ 's
 "Miss Head, the cOntralto, pos sessed voice of exceptional power and sympathy, and her years of hard work and study gave her excellent control of each gahd every tone. She sang with case and held her audi enee without effort. , Miss Head rem dered selections in g several languages, but her ,1'La Golar1drina" was un- doubtedlg' the most popular, although by no means the best, of all she sang last night The manner in which she rendered it, however, en- titles any New Mexico audience to pardon for admiring it much more than selections of greater note."
 From the Journal. Miss Head re- eeived the following flattering mo- tice:
 'Miss Head, contralto, has a voice of magnificent volume and perfect training. Her work last night, par ticularly in the Donizetti selection, Mic Fernando, was exquisite. Her most popular song, undoubtedly, was La Golandrina,' which she sang as an encore for her second number, and which can never fail to please a New Mexico audience. As sung by Miss Head, it is likely to be pleasing anywhere, even where the song is not as familiar as here'

TILL The SOIL
Thorough Cultivation VIII In.
crease the Crop More Than
Two-fold.

By H. W. Campbell. Lincoln. Neb.
Thorough tillage Of the soil is something
worth while. The scientific tillage Of the
soil brings rich returns for the labor. As
an investment there is nothing quite its
equal.
On an average township in the arabic
area there are probably 20. 900 acres Of
land subject to..tillage. 1t is entirely pos
sible. indeed..quite probable. that by scisn-
tific tillage Of the soil the average crop
value in either the semi-arid or the humid
regions. can be raised $40 an acre.
Do you realize what ii meansa 1t means
that the actual value Of the land OF the
average township will be increased three
or four millions dollars. II will be wor tn
that much more than where the farm
methods are Of the old slipshod variety.
1t has been demonstrated beyond shad
ow Of the doubt that in the dry country.
especially-and elsewhere the results are
just as good-the average Of production oil
wheat. for instance per acre can be in
creased from IL 10 IS bushels now recorded
so or 90 bushels an acre,
This doesn't mean an occasional large
yield. but it means regular thing. Whal
il it does cos, 81 or s. an acre more tc
farm this way3 The difference between
IS bushels an acre and 80 bushels is worth
having.
But this means great deal to the
