hopes to complete its lsbors at it's next

has two competitors. Another interest
ing case which went over Is that OF Lam

correspondents June l. asking their IN

forty-four OF the correspondents replied
that the situation was doubtful, with
chances slightly in favor OF one candidate

In these doubtful letters there is but
little comfort for either Tucker or Mann,
as they are all based upon the belief OF
the correspondents that the people care
but little about voting as between the

TEN THOUSAND FISH RECEIVED FUR
 HE'S LAKE
Granite Mountain Club Prepares for Rare
 Angling Sport
CFrom Saturdays Daily,


 After several months of correspond enee between the Granite Mountain Outing club and the National Fish commission of Washington on the sub jeet of stocking Lees lake with fish, consignment of 10000 of the finny tribe reached Prescott Thursday night and were at once taken to that pond and placed in it.
 The species is known as the blue Illinois eat, and varied in size from an inch to two and One-half inches. Of the consignment a few died on the trip from Denver, where the gov ernment maintains a western distribut- ing agency. This variety is adapted to lake waters, and it is the prevail ing opinion that in short time their growth will be sufficient for use. They are a very prolific breed, and are preferred for edible purposes to any other excepting the trout, and are also rated as of the gamiest kind of the piseatorial family.
 The consignment recived was taken to the lake by Dr. H. T. Southworth, H. D. Aitken, c. T. JOslin and Dr. R. N. Looney in their automobiles, each carrying a shipment.
 The lake where they are to be propagated is under lease to several parties in this city, and it is regard ed as one of the attractive sporting eenters of this section. By adding the pleasures of fishing to it's win ter pastime of duck shooting, it will hereafter be a continuous round of pleasure, and in addition to these features it is situated on one of the finest roadways in tbeg territory for automObiling. In short, this lake that now covers a water surface of over 16O acres, with fine club houses for the accommodation of shooting par ties, it is an ideal resort and is much sought after by many who have late ly visited it.
 In a few days hence another heavy shipment from the National Fish com mission is expected to reach the Verde river in the shape of l5 tanks of spawn from Leadville, Colo, of the famous Rocky Mountain trout family. They will be placed in that stream above Cottonwood, where the water is cool the year round, it being the in- tention of several Jerome sporting men to have recreation in the line of fishing there as we'll as hunting game and fowl. It is also probable that a consignment will be placed in Oak creek, that place being ire luented by hundreds each season.
 With the Lee lake consignment a stock was sent to the Grand Canyon, where many pools are in existence along the Colorado at a point below where the Hotel Fl TOvar is situated.
 The placing of an auto-launeh, it is said, will be the next move made for Lees lake.
