FORMER CIRCUS STAR
 COMMITTED TO ASYLUM

Grace Snyder was committed to the insane asylum yesterday afternoon says the Phoenix Gazette That was not the first time she had been brought within range of the local courts. A few months ago she was arrested by the police one night on a charge of disturbance of the peace and on the following day it was learn ed that she was a sufferer from the morphine habit. She said that she had been a circus rider and she told a story of misfortune covering a per iod of a half dozen years. She said that her father was living at Tucson.
 Soon after that she dropped out of sight and nothing more was heard of her by the authorities until yes terday morning. Robert Davis, living on Grand avenue, swore out a war rant for her arrest on the ground of insanity. Davis said that she and and old man lived near him and that she had come to his house at clock in the morning raving. She was ar rested and given a hearing in the afternoon.
 There is some doubt regarding the relation between her and the old man with whom she has been living. She says he is the father of whom she has been talking. The old man says that she is his common law wife. He is about 80 years of age and paralyzed. The woman is 35 years of age.
 She related the story of her life yesterday. She said that at the age of 12 she and another girl of about the same age ran away from home and joined a circus. They were taught riding anu were put under the charge of an elderly woman, who looked after their moral welfare. She remained in the circus busienss until five years ago, when she was with the Ring hngs. One of her performances was the riding of a stallion. One day as she was riding him standing, small child escaped from the benches and, running into the ring, thew a hand ful of dirt at the animal, striking him in the flank. He reared and fell backward upon her. The injuries she sustained put her out of the cir GUS ring forever and it was in the course of the treatment of her wounds thaS she acquired the nor phine habit. It was a curious fact that the same horse soon after killed her husband.

DEAL IS PENDING
 FOR RANCH INTERESTS

One of the largest land and live stock deals ever to take place in Yav. spai county, is said to be under ne, gotiation, the property affected lying in Williamson valley and covering the Carter, Stewart, Cook and Marlow ranch and range interests.
 Associated with this deal are J. P. Cuddeback, A. J. Blackley, J. H. Reynolds and MT. Alderman, a bank CT of Imperial. MT. Cuddeback with Aessrs. Biackley and Reynolds re- gently visited that valley and spent several days in examining the range and looking at the cattle and is said to have been pleased with the propo- sition. A few days ago they left Prescott, returning to Los Angeles, where the matter is to be further considered.
 The above ranches cover the most desirable lane interests in that sec tion and each place is under a high state of cultivation, and suitable as
  feeding and fattening ground. The livestock to he included in this trans- fer will run to several thousand head, the aggregate sum to be paid running to over $1OO.OOO. MT. Cud5eback, who desires to come to this field, is a practical ranch man and in addition to his main depot at San Gabriel, in southern California, has extensive range rights on the Tehachepi mountains near Bakersfield, with a supply house ar that point also. He is a dealer in all the principal markets of southern California.
 The visit of the above people to that section was agreeable in many ways. Ire condition of the open range was pronounced the best they ever inspected, and in addition to that desirable feature with the prolific growth of Iange feed, they were i'm pressed with the inducements to be- { come identified with a section that supports these natural conditions tc I the extent that was seen. The ab- I sence of any of the usual epidemIcs ( attending cattle was also commented t upon, and healthy product was an i inviting one to take under eonsi1- r eration in favor of this section [

HUSBAND AND WIFE
 BOTH FILE WILLS
(From Fridays Daily.l

Two novel legal documents were filed for record yesterday in the recorders office, this being the first time in thirty years recourse to this method was ever taken.
 The documents the parties desire to be of legal record are two wills, one from John J. Marksbury and the ether from his wife, Mary L. Marks bury. The former wills everything he owns to his wife and the latter repeats the statement word for word but desires her husband to receive the benefit of her property.
 Of course both wills are contingent upon one surviving the other, and both bear the same date of execu- tion. MT. and Mrs. Marksbury have been residents of this county for nearly forty years and are residing on the Verde. They are said to be well to do. The wills were executed August 2S of the present year.

SURVEYOR WILL RUN
 LINE FOR NEW HIGHWAY
CFrom Thursdays Daily)

NEAOAh b 0dAAyJ
 Park W. Latimer, county surveyor, will leave this morning for the pur- pose of making a survey for the new road that is contemplated to be built from Prescott to Jerome, via Yeager canyon.
 Mention was previously made cS this project and MT. Latimer will take several days to make the sur vey along lines that have been prse- tically agreed upon. The old county road will be followed to @ point that leads to. Sawmill Hill, up the canyon, and then a new route will be run at rigkt angles, reaching Wal nut Springs and entering the city below the Montana hotel.
 This highway has the support of all farming interests in the Middle and Upper Verde sections, as well as the business element of Jerome, and upon its construction will be ex- tenslvely used. The purpose of the county is to have the new road con structed at an elevation above the old road, so as to reduce to a minimum the possibility of flood waters reach ing it.
 The old route that followed Shelter hill, one of the most dangerous in the winter from the heavy grade, will be obvia-ed on the new line of sur vey that will be run.

GOOD REPORT NOW
 BROUGHT FROM EAST
tFrom Thursdays Dailyo

, AoeuiHAhS HUH Ine east lew dayE ago, I. D. l.. Williams, prominently
 Identified with the Mt. Elliott Min
 ing company, brings back the report
 that splendid conditions in manufae
 turing and financial channels are ev
 anywhere prevailing and mentions
 Pittsburg in a specific manner. At
 this point rhe pay roll of labor em.
 ployed in tLe many industries ha.
 reached the magnificent sum of $1,.
 100000 per day, and in a few months
 the high watef mark would be passed.
 He says that every line of business
 is buoyant and the prediction is made
 that the coming year will witness a
 degree of prosperity that was never
 before attained
 In speaking of his trip so far as
 it applies to the mining interests of
 his company, he says that in a few
 days a delegation of investors would
 reach this city to inspect the Divl- dend and other claims of the com
 pany group, and that they were ip- terested in the property in a ma terial way. They will be accompanied by H. Williams Stevens, who. former ly resided ia Prescott, and is well known sin m'po engineering circles of this territory. MT. Williams also stated that he made arrangements while east to have the Mt. Elliott stock placed on the curb and the de- mand for it was daily growing bet ter.
 Reports f-' m the Dividend mine of this company continue favorable and following this condition the manage ment say that beginning next week it is their purpose to increase the mining force to double shifts in or der to carry out the method of de- velOpment as fast as practicable, the l showing justifying this move. With this mine work under full headway, | the ten-stdmp mill is to be repaired and overhauled, the tonnage of ore available warranting reduction at the earliest practicable date, which will be come time next month.
 The deepest work in this mine is 800 feet and at this point along the east and vest crOsseuts the ore bodies n existence clearly outline the at ractive mineral conditions in evi- lenee, and exemplify the wisdom of lot only practical effort, but also he success that follows deep mining
 The Dividend mines as they are known in this field, are of he earliest date in gold mining op- rations in thIs district, and when worked on the surface carried heavy 'alues in free gold under primitive methods OF treating the ores. After epth was reached the mineralogieal ondition above changed and a sul- hide body was reached in vein arrying permanency and regularity 0 the depth reached, giving it in inning circles a favorable regard for he future. This ground is yet in C Is infancy and with the splendid I videnees prevailing it warrants any l that may be extended a and will unquestionably give an V account of itself when open c d up on lines that are said to be U utlined for it. It is one of the few e lining projects that has been worked c teadily in the past few years and notwithstanding the panicky financial Onditious prevailing until recently, it t as merited the time and the money d ntlayed.

DEMOCRATIC PILGRIMS
 JoURNEYED TO PHOENIX
CFrom Fridays DaIly)

It was in the still hours of the night
 Down Cortez street walked three of
 the worthy citizens of the Queen
 City, carrying their valises.
 Silently and with no band to play
 "Hail To Our Departing Chiefs, ''
 they boarded the night train for
 Phoenix, where yesterday they paid
 devotion at the shrine of the great
 "I Am," the Honorable William Jen-
 nings Bryan, who has contested for
 the presidency and who has been as
 often defeated as the cock crew for
 Peter, the disciple.
 The trio, who represented what
 might possibly be termed the three
 graeeS of the Democratic party in
 favapal county, were Joseph P. Dil-
 lion, territorial Democratic chairman.
 George P. Morris, the youthful rep resentative in the last legislature from this county, and Stanley H. Watson.
 It had been supposed that this list would be greatly augmented, but To, when the train pulled cut there was only the trio to board it. One more Henry F. Ashurst, the brilliant young attorney from this county was on the train going through from Flagstaff, where he has been on legal business. MT. Ashurst was one of the special speakers. at the Bryan reception yesterday.
 It was noticeable that Judge J. J. Hawkins and A. J. Head were among the very prominent Democrats who did not take the long trip to pay worship at the shrine of the HGreat Commoner. There were many others also of the Democrats who remained in Prescott, where they enjoyed the and cool atmosphere rather than going to the Capital City to fall at the feet of the Nebraskan, who has three times shown that he could not lead the Democratic party to victory.
 It is known that one of the trio who did make the trip recently boast ed he never did vote for the "peer- less leader" although he had two op- pOrtunities to do so before his re- cent advent into this territory.
 Shades of "Billy" Hearstl How William would feel if he could have witnessed the Phoenix scene yester- lay when it is recalled that he sent of dollars of the real coin nto this territory at the time when , le thought he might possibly land he presidential nomination on the Democratic ticket And to think Yav- !, Ipai was the erstwhile Hearst strong lold.
 Still they do say that everything ' ,oes in politics especially Democratic 'olities and to that fact is attributed he repeated defeats which the Demo rats suffer.
 It is related that the wife of one f the Prescott members of that 7 'arty objected so strenuously that her usband was finally convinced that
 pilgrimage to the shrine of Bryan, Thich for the day was yesterday To- ated in Phoenix, would be entirely seless. She is said to have remark d that "the Bryan band wagon was ut of tune" and in this view the n usband finally coneurred. a But the trio were there and while V he Great Commoner may have been 4 isappointed in numbers, it is a fair i, reelection that they made up in ap- A aren't enthusiasm what they lacked i, n the size of the delegation. hi
