 FOR HIGH PRIZES
GFrom Thursdays Daily.)

 Yavapai county will make another
 strenuous effort to retain its rank
 as the first county prize winner this
 year at the Territorial Fair, and to
 do so will exceed its former exhibit
 in every line, from a needle to
 haystack. To this end, the move
 ments of the large display was start
 ed yesterday, and today Commissioner
 Johns will leave for Phoenix, to be- gin placing the many articles and
 products in their proper place in the
 big pavilion. He states that the dis 1 position of the people has been gen
 erous, and he anticipates the most
 creditable showing the county has ever made.
 Specializing, he says that the Gas tie Hot Springs will have a booth of its own, which will be made of palms grown on the grounds. The water from these springs will be dispensed gratis to all, and In addition there will be seen for the first time in the history of Yavapai county, or anges grown at that famous resort.
 In manufactured goods another surprise awaits the Territory, in the exhibit that will be made from the Clear Creek Canning company of W. G. Wingfield. These goods are apples, peaches, pears and plums, and will be the first ever seen from an Ari- zOna factory. Several hundred cans of each variety will be displayed.
 In the fruit exhibit, Maus & Stew art will have 100 boxes of apples, covering twenty-five varieties, from the Fair Oaks orchard. In volume this will exceed any other individ- ual contribution, while in quality, it | ranks at the top.
 o. J. Ames of the Verde Valley | has collected 4,0O0 pounds of fruits and vegetables from that section and | Oak Creek, which are on the way south. In addition he has twenty or namental jars of two gallons capa- city each, showing various fruits in solution, which are pronounced beau tiful, and ready for the table.
 Robert Finney, of Beaver Creek, blue ribbon winner of last year, will endeavor to capture the honor this year, sending a splendid assortment of apples and pears from his famous orchards.
 For the first time, there will be large tonnage of mountain raised po- tatoes, without irrigation, which are said to be the best produced. In the potato exhibit will be a sweet variety from the farm of MT. Bosn, on Big Bug, one, particularly, attract ing attention, that weighs an even eight pounds.
 One of the most novel exhibits will be the Greening variety of ap- pie, from the fact that it was raised at an elevation of over 7,500 feet in the mountains, to the south of this city. It is to the credit of the Cash Mine, on the Hassayampa.
 Dry farming products will again be handsomely considered. Yavapai, last year, being the only division of the Territory that forwarded it's ar tieles grown on this principle Th,s year, however, the tonnage will be 1 much heavier, and includes vege- tables, fruit, hay, grains and other articles.
 Individual exhibitors this year will exceed those of former oeeas- ions by many, a lively interest pre- railing for supremacy in the differ ent sections.
