 BUYS QUEER CRACKER-BenJa- min Smith, recently of Ohio. purchased an unassuming giant cracker Saturday evening, that when fired off last night gave out five distinctive reports. How such a thing could be made possible in the construction is not known. but nevertheless, the cracker cracked five different times and each report was sufficient for the size of it.

FIFTEEN EleHTs-Two n,

FIFTEEN FlGHTS-Two newsboys fought fifteen furious fights last evening for the championship of the newsies' organization. The prize was seven punches of small firecrackers. The youngsters fought until nearly prostrated, ,cutting each others faces and hands, then quietly linked arms and sauntered off down the street to a soda haberdasher. Neither one. succeeded in getting the best of the other.
 RECORD BREAKER-Bisbee had the largest crowd yesterday in the history of the city. The mask car nival in the evening at the plaza was mass of grotesque beings repre- senting every creation on the face of the earth and some never before seen. Young America was wild, happy and celebrating as only an American knows how to celebrate. The drilling contest today will undoubtedly still be greater drawing card, and even larger crowds than Saturdays and Sundays are expected.
 ANOTHER IMPORTANT QUES- TlON-Where is the proper place for young lady in an automobile? is the question of the hour. What is considered proper as regards the sit ting of "a young lady in 'joy wagon?" Should she occupy the front seat or the back? Is it proper for young lady married or single, to take the drivers seat while the mas culine occupants sit by and take in the beauty of the trip, throwing all the responsibility of the handling of the machine on the shoulders of their sister? If the car contains three young men and a young lady, is it proper for the lady to occupy the rear seat with one of the two men? Should she take the front seat with the driver? Should she go riding in machine with three young men? With two young men, or alone with one? Is it best to take along a chaperon when two young people go for a spin in an auto, and if so where should the chaperon sit? When two young ladies and young men go for a while in the gasoline wagon should the two young ladies sit together, or not, and if so where, in the front seat or in the back? One thing has been decided upon however,, and that is that a young lady must sit some where, and until this important ques- ton has been settled to the satisfac- tion of all concerned she has the right to sit anywhere.

DID NOT CHANGE

DID NOT CHANGE-The bill at the Coliseum was not changed last niEht as has been generally the case in the past. Anita Primrose appeared better than at any time previous during her engagement in this city Her act Is rather deep in characterization, fOr the general run of vaudeville goers, but is so uniquely different in presentation that the audience cannot help but be appreciative.
 ELKS' COSTUMES HERE-The EIks' costumes, supposed to have been here Saturday afternoon, arrived yes terday afternoon, and can be had at the club by applying to the steward. They are considered far prettier than dreamed of in advance. and will un- doubtedly be the swellest costumes worn in the Elks' parade during the convention at Los Angeles.
 ALL COMPLETED-The last of the arrangements for the Foresters' cele- bratien at Eastlake Park have been completed and MT. Randy stated last evening that undoubtedly the event will be the biggest of its kind in the vicinity. Never have the Foresters taken such an active part, and shown such enthusiasm as in the present un- dertaking. and those who partake of their hospitality at Eastlake Park to- day will leave with kindly feeling that will live through many a Fouth. There will be plenty of room for the picnickers to have their lunch on the tables that have been especially pre- pared for them and the long and un usually new program of events will be interesting to everyone. The vaude vile in the afternoon. speaking and baseball game, will all take place at one time, affording something doing for every trend of mind. The dance in the evening will undoubtedly be well

 CHILD DROWNS IN WELL Watching the death struggles of her little daughter. Mrs. Ynez Castanda, of Globe, saw her little daughter drown in well during the afternoon Friday. The child had been playing about in the yard during the afternoon, and it Is supposed that the little girl climbed upon the boxing around the well, and losing her balance. fell in. Her four year-old sister ran screaming into the house to her mother, who had to watch the little girl struggle and die before help could arrive.

fErom Tuesday.s pailyl

Yesterday was the day for congrat- ulations.
 The greatest contest ever inangur- ated by newspaper in northern Arizona came to most successful termination on Saturday night at 10 clock, but the count was not made until yesterday, in order to receive the votes bearing the postmsrh of July 10, which came in by mail from the outside districts. =.
 The winners of the trips, and the grand prize are recorded in the tabu- lated statement above. Below win be found detailed statement of all the candidates, which shows beyond a doubt that the losers as well as the winners have a host of friends in their respective districts.
 The struggle has been long and interesting one. It is not often that opportunity is given to win such trips as the Journal Miner has planned, particularly in a city the size of Prescott In fact, never before has trip equal to that offered by this paper been extended any newspaper published in city of 5000 pOpula- tion. It is proud that it has set a standard for all contests to come both in the length of the tours, and the completeness of every detasl >-whieh could possibly provide for the com fort and pleasure of the guests.
 The JOurnal-Miner is proud of the five young ladies which it will send to Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, as they typify the flower of the young wOmanhoOd of Arizona. There will be other contest parties from different states and from differ ent parts of Arizona, but Il IS eer- tain that none will rank with those from northern Arizona in feminine loveliness and in strong, personal character.
 And the young ladies themselves are proud of the fact that they are to represent Arizona at the big fair. They are already planning to go stylishly attired, and will carry with them evening costumes suitable for the theater. They will be the eynOs-

ure of all eyes, wherever they go, and they will reflect credit upon Ari- zona.
 The results have been exceedingly gratifying to the management of this paper, and we sincerely hope and be-
 ieve that they have been equally satisfactory to those who participated in it. Regrets are expressed for those who failed to reach the goal, and all the candidates who have labored to win the exposition trips have made for themselves a warm spot in the heart of the manage ment.
 The Journal-Miner eongratulates the winners and the thousands of loving friends and supporters who won for them the unequalled tours. The party will leave Prescott July 26, and they will be gone nearly three weeks, intending to arrive at Seattle in time to be present on " Arizona Day." August z. Phe de- tails of the trip have been dwelt upon frequently in these columns, and further mention will be made during the next two weeks.
 In this age of progressiveness, a newspaper must needs show its ap- ipreciation to its subscribers in some manner besides printing good paper, and what better way could the Jour nal Miner have shown this than by putting up prizes to the value of $2, 100 to be contested for by tits patronsl After all, the business men and advertisers-the men sending daily messages to the reading public through our eOlumns-will receive the most benefit from the contest. Always having the largest circulation the Journal l-Miner now has more than double the number of paid-up sub scribers of any northern Arizona daily, and yet its advertising rates are but slightly higher than those of its competitor Regarding the Vote.
 The total vote cast during the contest was s6O,914, while the vote boiled on the late day totalled 3l4,-

WINNERS OF TRIPS ON THE WONDERFUL
 ALASKA -YUKON- PACIFIC EXPOSITION TOUR

400 The surprise of the last day was the fact that the Jerome con ltestant failed to send in any votes, as it had been frequently declared Stivers would make whirlwind fin ish and win the AutOpianO. The young lady was doubtless satisfied, it seems, in winning the trip and the $50 diamond ring, which she won as period prize. The only votes that arrived from the outside after Satur- day night were 1,2OO for Miss Downs at winslow, and 5000 for Miss Ford from Octave.
 Miss Zanetta lost the trip in dis triet No. i, through an unfortunate circumstance A gentleman left Hay nes Saturday for Prescott, with 10000 votes to east for her. The train was late and he did not see Miss Zanetta until after 10 o'clock. Believing the votes would not be counted, she / did not accept the money, These votes would lave made her winner over Miss Price by about 1000 votes
 Incidentally it should be stated that the citizens of Mayer rallied nobly to the support of Miss Price. She worked to the last minute, and before the train left Saturday af- ternoon she had secured 25,0O0 votes that day. If there is a man in Mayer who does not now take the Journal Miner, he must have been in hiding when Miss Price was around.
 Miss Ford, the grand prize win ner, started to work from the begin ming of the contest, and she kept up the fight every day. She had hun dreds of friends who were working for her, and she received heavy sup port from Poland and Crown King, the former camp giving her nearly 100000 votes during the campaign. Miss Stivers boiled a large vote for q town. the size of Jerome, and she had many enthusiastic friends enlist ed in her cause. In comparison with the other successful candidates, the vote of Miss French was small. She was handicapped owing to her school duties, and she could not do much campaigning until within the past few weeks.
 It required two hours for the judges to count and verify the vote, and after the winners were announced telephones were immediately put in to use, advising friends and relatives of the good fortune of the winners; and there was jubilation among the girls that were assembled in the Journal-Miner office. .-..

TO WORK THE OLD TIP
 TOP MINING PROPERTIES
From sundays Dally)


 Mining people generally will be interested in the fact that the old TiptOp mine is to he worked on an extensive. scale in tho near future, and arrangements are going on to. that end in this city. It is now pre- posed to place complete eoncen- trating plant on the property, this to, work in conjunction with the old silver mill of ten stamps, formerly used in the old days. This ground has been under operation for neariEy two years by a syndicate known ass the Tiptop Heath Mining and Aili- ing company. In this time the, old workings have been cleaned out, ancI considerable exploring has resulted No effort to unwater the property has been attempted, and until new mn ehinery is placed this work will nn=, be undertaken. Following the work by this company in the past few years there is every indication that the old workings are still at many points in the upper zone, or above the line of the water level. Below this point it is the purpose of the company to generally explore the ground as soon as the water Is pump ed out. It has been very many years since this old mine was operated. Its Ir, the history of the territory and wher, it closed down over S4,O0O,OO0 was to its credit in the white bullion No mine in this territory, or on the e coast, for that matter, had the values to its ores in tonnage that this prop erty produced. Ore running as high as 15,OOO ounces to the ton in sil- yer vas frequently mined, while it's shipping product went from 4O0 ounces to 1000 ounces to the ton; Silver in tbat day had value oF- from $l.10 to $1.20 an ounce
 The men who are to be practically identified with this property in the future are E. G.. and Frank Wager They are, in short, the men who are. the possessOrs of a better knowledge of the mine than any others. They were mining in that region in the zenith of the day when the TiptoI was producing heavily, ahd are like wise familiar with the underground conditions prevailing. With silver at fifty cents an ounce, modern methods of operating are far more economical than prevailed in the early eighties and they are confident of demonstra ting that they will make a sueeess of the undertaking, a belief that Is supported by mining men generally
 The field in that immediate vicinity is a distinctive silver bearing one, and when the Tiptop was running shloriders were everywhere in eyi- denee. These men took out hundreds of thousands of dollars, and in many instances handsome fortunes were made by several individuals trhongk no other agency than that of muscle as the capital. -...
 The Tiptop group lie in a. spur or the Bradshaw range of mountains lI.- the southeast, and interest will fol low the operation again on the ground, from the fact that deeper workings are expected to revive ths property and again place it in posi- tiOn of consideration.

TOWN or wINSLow
 IS PROSPEROUS
Frem Sundays pai.y)

1 Wins1ow, Arizona, was well repre- sented in this city during the past week, many of its citizens being in attendance on the federal court, now in session. That little city has thrown of the raiment of other days, and can now be chased as a substantial community, and will soon be an in- cOrporated. town. Compared with the days of long ago, when it was a good sized railroad station, the rendezvous of the wild and woolly cowboy, and other conditions of a. frontier nature existing, the present aspect of the place shows the contrary to be pre- vailing. It is growing these days and its home like surroundings and cosy cottages and its strong mercan- tile interests, make it an attractive place on the map of Navajo county.
 With the building of the old At lantie & Pacific railroad, it came in to existence merely from the fact that it's location made it desirable for temporary uses. It had not a habitatiOn for years of permanent nature, and it was practically of no commercial rating. It remained where it was originally staked out more as matter of form than of convenience.
 But time has changed ail this. To- day it Is the best built town along the Santa Fe, and it is on the ground to stay. Its homes are many, and those constructed in the past few years and stin being built, are of either brick or concrete. It is said of the town that there Is not today an empty house within it, and it is with difficulty that even a room can be secured. ,'...'..' -'s- .-.
 Its commercial houses are likewise of the best, and while not as numer- ous as other towns in the north, the variety of the wares carried are just as good and up to date as can be found elsewhere.
 | The place IS the center of the sheep and cattle industry of immense proportions. Surrounding it are fine ranges, and in addition to its landed asset there is every belief that in the very near future it will have the finest agricultural domain in central Arizona. Thousands of acres of rich soil are at its very doors, and the development of its water supply will 1 giTe it prominence for the future This can be secured by storage enter prises, which will be undertaken, ae cording to current belief of those who are eOnversant with that feature of its possibilities.
 | The government has selected a site near that place on which to erect permanent buildings, and at present there are several of such utilized for schooling the Indians. It will also have experimental stations on which to test the desirability of the soil for the cultivation of agricultural pro ducts, it. is said. These structures are built to remain permanently.
 WinslOw is now rated as a perm anent division of the Santa Fe rail road system. This company maintains Q strong force of employees there, and the character of its machinery voices the belief that it, too, has come to stay.
 With all of the above taken into consideration, together with the su- perb quality of the climate it enjoys, the place should in the very near fu- ture be ranked as one of the strong est and most prosperous along the Santa Fe
