B|SBEE PARTY WILL
 BRAVE THE UNKNOWN
Fifteen Brave Men Leave Oct IS, to Ex> pIore Tiburon Island for Rich Mineral
 Deposits Believed to Exist There

Starting out to brave the dangers O. an island practically unknown to civilization, fifteen Arizonans mostly Bisbeeites, wilI leave this city about soetober 15 for the Isle of Tiburon. off the coast of Sonora in the Cuff of California
 Not only are there the dangers after the island is reached but Tiburon is noted for benig a particularly hard spot for navigators to approach on ac- count of the fierce maelstrom en. coentered in the Straits of Tiburon. This has kept many a vessel away.
 Two previous expeditions have re- suited in death and disaster. The first, in 1893, was headed by Lieuten- ant Robinson. The lieutenant and two companions left Phoenix. going down the Salt River by boat to Yuma, and to Tiburon via the Colorado. When the party landed, Robinson and one companion. leaving the other to watch their supplies, went inland short distance and encountered party of Seri Indians, savage and ferocious tribe. and one of them asked to look at Robinson's gun. Robinson com. piled and the Indian shot him dead, then clubbed his companion to death. After many hardships the third mem. Der of the party reached Guaymas, where he told of the slaughter of his two companions.
 Later Professor Tom Grindell of Douglas, attempted to reach the island. He and his party crossed Sonora by mules, then set out in boat. But one member of that party, Jack Hon. man, returned alive to civilization. The rest are supposed to have been killed by the Indians.
 The reason that so many are anx. ious to reach and develop the re. sources of this hitherto uncivilized isle is the fact that it is supposed to abound in gold and other precious metals, and that the Seri Indians have large quantities of it in their possession. Immense pearl fisheries are also said to exist about Tfburon's shores. The island is supposed to contain deposits of uranium and car hottie. or pitch-blend.
 The Indians are what have proved the stumbling block to previous ex plorers. The tides can be circum- vented in the straits. but the savages

THE TERRITORIAL FAIR BETTER
 THAN EVER

PHOENIX. Oct 5.--At a meeting 0 the Territorial Fair commission jrsl concluded in Phoenix the final touch es were put on the preparations fol the Fifth Territorial Fair which will this year be held the second week in November. the sth to the 14th. Bigg and better than ever before is ne promise the commission Is giving and there seems to be facts to bear tbei out
 In all the live stock departments the premiums have been increased 20 per cent, in the poultry show the p-f. miums have been just doubled, and Q rev show, a dog show, has been added to the list of attractions. In addition to this the premium list has been in. creased by the addition of several new classes. it being the desire of tlt commission to offer every inducemen for the exhibition of fancy and thor oughbred stock by citizens of the Ter ritory. That they have planned wise ly. is testified to by the many inquir ies already received by the secre- tary.
 Naturally great interest centers about the racing program and prob ably it is enough to say that this y=ni at Fhcenix there will be more horse: start in the harness events than ev,l beiore raced at any meeting held wes of Chicago Mir. J. c. Adams, tn, president of the Fair commission spent several weeks in the east thu
 s'lniucr intei esting the grand circui; racers to pay Phoenix a visit, arG in most of his undertakings he wa successful The great Arizona Cop per Stake rs ce which prize was sub scfibeG ty Arizonans, will be run ir two Iarts, a 5000 purse for 2:0S paccrs ard~ a 5000 purse for 2:19 troiiers. |: is likely that if all the horses ehteredd decide to start thn: each of the events will have to be heiC in two divisions. Each day there will be two jockey races for which there are many entries.
 One afternoon will be devoted to automobile racing the prize event be licg a one-hundred mile race around the ccrcular track for purse of s100i The drivers of the cars will be somt of the most noted scorchers of tn. | west and the cars the fastest In froat of the grand stand on automobile da, the great Los Angeles to Phoenix automobile race will finish and the prize of $500 awarded.
 Fireworks will be given one night on the fair grounds and the spectac
 ular production of last pear will bc

 will be battle at sea in which fo"
 $ attacked by fleet the picture las-

 Residents of Bisbee and this coun' '
 according to Phoenix papers, vii
 be made welcome at Phoenix Fair week. The fair commission has ar
 ranged a wonderful display of Ar
 zor:q's mineral, industrial and agd cultural wealth. Phoenix citizens viii
 add to this a hearty welcome to al fair visitors. At this early date ther'
 ara many local residents planning te

ADJUSTMENTS

Something little bit diversified from the general run of sketches that have been presented by Reed and Ar buckle was that offered Sunday night. "A Gay Old Sport" was the name of a comedy in three scenes, in which Miss La Belle, wealthy young lady sends her maid out to pick up some one to play the part of her husband when her lover calls after an absence of several years. Timothy Finnegan is brought in of the street and re- luctantIy consents to fill the bill. The lover. Donald Green, comes in with the intention of killing his sweetheart if she sill refuses him, but Finnegan gets the gun and nearly shoots himself in the excitment. Then lit is discovered that Green has be- come rich since separation from his sweetheart, and Finnegan straightens things up between the pair.
 Roscoe Arbuckle cuts out the com edy and appears to decided advantage as the lover, and also sings roman tic song, Can't You See I'm Lonely,
 with considerable effect. Walter Reed is Finnegan. Florence Reed Miss La
 Belle and Olive Dumont the maid.
 Several other songs help round out
 the playlet, among them "The Mess. , age of the Violet" by Miss Louise Dean, receiving a hearty encore.

are one of the fiercest tribes known, and so far have been able to keep the island to themselys. It i8 also said that they practice cannabalism.
 Most of these Indians have at one time or another been slaves to the Mexicans on the mainland. Whenever opportunity offered one of them would kill his master. steal his rife and ammunition an descape to Tiburon, so that white men invading its pre- cncts will be confronted with savages armed with their own weapons, aud doubtless able to use them.
 The party leaving Bisbee is nothing daunted by these reports. Every mem Der is a crack shot, some of them rangers and cowboys. and every man will be armed with a Winchester 3O-4O rife and 3G0 rounds of ammuni ton. besides two revolvers and knife apiece.
 The personel of the party is not yet complete, but to date will include Deputy Marshal Ed Stevens, Joe Beals, Chester Kilgour, Billy Olds. Billy Needham, Bill White (not Depu- ty Sheriff Bib. Fay Jones, J. V. Jones and Hom Hamilton of Phoenix. The latter is an ex-guard at the Yuma prison. Dr. Jones of Prescott, will be surgeon of the expedition.
 The party will proceed by train to Guaymas. There they will hire a boat to convey them to the island, where they will be landed with an outfit sufficient for three months stay. At the end of three months the boat will return to take them back to civilization.
 We havn't yet completely made up our party" said Ed Stevens yester- day. We will, however, have the sufficient number gathered by the time we are ready to start
 Among the others who will go, John son. "the original Tangle," must not be forgotten. ''Tangle" will supply the mining expert knowledge re- quired on the expedition. He now has in his possession several specimens of uranium and carnotite. and also some valuable publications on these sub jects. sent himp by the Colorado School of Mines. President Allison, of that institution. states that he will be pleased to make analysis of speci- mems the expedition may procure on Tiburon.
