YAVAPA| FRUITS ARE DECLARED
 UNEXCELLED
eFrom Saturdays Daily)


 A. W. Merrill, recognized as an authority in chronological circles, and attached to the Arizona Horti- cultural Commission at Phoenix, ha. been in this section several days, making an investigation of the re- sources included in his duties, re- turning a few days ago from the western part of the county, where he inspected the many orchards in a bearing coalition, as well as the fertility of the soil for the propa- gating of the fruits indigenous to this altitude. He is very pronounced in his estimation of the country, saying that the possibilities of the land are incalculable, and bases this belief on what he has personally examined at various points under cultivtion.
 He is deeply impressed with the quality and the character of the apples raised at Fair Oaks on the Maus & Stewart orchard, saying that tthe coddling moth, the worst pest in the country, is not in existence in that orchard or adjoining lands.
 The above orchard ne pronounced as superior to any he has inspected in Arizona, as it is an unusual thing to see an apple crop not afflicted by worms. This admirable feature he attributes to the isolated locality and the high elevation.
 MT. Merrill is Investigating the different types of smudge that are being used to save the orchards from destruction from frosts and cold weather, and is taking a list of all fruit growers.
 He will leave this morning for the Verde Valley, where ne will spend several days Investigating fruit growing conditions. He states also that the Yavapai peach is unexcelled, and that the many varieties raised in this county were unknown to him until his visit. In apples, also, he is very favorably impressed, and pre- diets that in years to come this sec ton will be one of the most pro- life in growing fruits of the best quality in the Southwest.

 On returning from California yes terday, J. I. Roberts of the. O. K. Meat Market, made the important announcement that he had practie- ally closed the sale of the Harry Clark ranch in Williamson Valley. while in Los Angeles, where MT. Clark is spending the summer, and would combine that place with his house in this city as a feeding and fattening farm. The acreage taken over was not learned, but that it is large area, is generally believed, from the mount of land owned in that section by MT. Clark.
 The property is regarded as one of the best in the county for the purposes desired, and will afford MT. Roberts a ready means of sup plying his growing trade in this city, situated as it is in the heart of the range country, to draw on con veniently for live stock for fatten- ing for the market.
 Through this move the cost of long transportation is eliminated, and in addition the mountain ranges adja- cent will afford a prime article at any season of the year.

 Reports that reached the city yes terday from the storm field of the eastern part of the county, indicate that the many cloudbursts of Thurs day were confined mainly to sec tions that were uninhabited, and with the exception of destroying long distance telephone connection with Jerome, Walker, Mayer and other places. no serious damage resulted. The lines are being repaired, and it is expected that communication will be restored early this morning.
 The only serious road damage was on the west side of the Lynx Creek hill, near the foot, where a cloud burst ripped out several feet of the road, causing considerable trouble to traffic. Road Superintendent Child CTS will leave this morning with a force of men to repair the washed out section.
 The path of the storm extended on the north to the Verde Valley, where it was reported to be the heaviest in recent years, ana the first of the season. No damage was done to the section, although the fall was estimated at over one and one-half inches.
 Since the beginning of the rainy season every sectian adjacent to Prescott has received the heaviest rainfall in recent years, and during the past ten days this condition has especially been in evidence in the series of eloudbursts reported. So far as this city is to be considered

 In the Chaparral section, at the present time, according to a state ment made last night by John s. Jines, more activity is going on than at any time in it's history, and in eidentally, the results shown in pro- duetion are creating a very lively interest for the possibilities of that old gold producing field.
 In singling out the more impor- tant operations under way, he says the unwatering of the Jessie shaft to a point 25O feet from the surface, is finished, and development in that level is to be commenced immediate ly by MT. Mccarthy, who has charge of the property, was the report in circulation. The opening of the property to that depth, it is believed, will result in re-establishing this famous old producer as one of the greatest in that section, virgin ground being known that has never been explored.
 At the Lelan mine, Judge E. W. Wells is actively getting that prop erty into the producing class, and is daily shipping ore to Humboldt. This splendid mining ground is to be the scene for months to come of steady flow of ore for reduction, and from the rating of the ground results are expected to be heavy. Considerable interest is following the resumption of work on the Le. Ian and on the lines as indicated from recent improvements, it is the intention to continue operations.
 At every point in the district peo- pie feel highly grstified that such a strong and energetic operator as F. NJ. Murphy is to be identified

with that section in taking hold of the MeCabe and Gladstone mines. The announcement to this effect has mad a stimulating effect on all mine owners, and through this impetus the district is being eagerly looked over by many investors and their engineers, all of whom are surprised at what is in evidence and what is being determined in the many claims under development.
 In speaking of his personal opera tions, MT. Jones states that the crescent from the Independence to the Little Jack ground is practically half finished, and the work continues uninterruptedly. His determinations are favorable, and with the tapping of the latter vein he is confident that another unit will be added to the ore supply of the Humboldt shelter.

Mar tin, superintendent, who is familiar with the geological conditions of the district, having been identified with the management of the Jessie, that adjoins on the east end lines, many years ago.
 At other points in close range the individual miner is developing his ground, and all report being satisfied with the progress of their work and the outlook.

 HOME FROM TRIP
CFrom wednesaay,s pailyl

From Wednesdays Daily)
 After eight days on the trail, and covering in that time an even 220 miles, Neil Clark and F. L. Haworth arrived in Prescott Sunday afternoon, completing one of the longest and hardest journeys on <Df ever un- dertaken by local residents. Both young men took the long trip from Prescott to the Natural Bridge in Tonto Basin more for the pleasure of sightseeing than any other motive, and in going on foot, were moved to do so from a purely physical consid- eratiOn of keeping themselves in shape and to escape any ills that office work is conducive in promoting.
 Their route was from Prescott to Camp Verde iD going, and from the latter place they went over the tor tuous Fossil Creek trail, into Straw berry Valley, and thence over the hill to Pine. They followed the Payson road for a few miles and then diverged at right angles, reach ing the goal at the Natural Bridge
 They remained over one day at the bridge. They speak of the great natural creation as one of the won ders of the Territory, and in itself worthy of the time spent on the trip.
 MT. GoOdfellow, the host at the place, was accommodating and gen erous, and in addition to his fellow ship, provided the "tramps" with every care and comfort possible. He has splendid accommodations, and the visit under these conditions, is a very agreeable one.
 Leaving the Natural Bridge, Clark and Haworth took the back track over the same route, but when Camp Verde was reached they swung to the right and went up Beaver Creek, stopping at Montezuma's Castle to peep into the old prehistoric cav erns, and wended their way up the creek to where the God of the Az tees took his daily drink from Mon- tezuma's Well, also famed in tra- dition.
 From there they slipped the sodas at Finney's famous springs, without the exhilerating chaser, and then started on the return trip via Jer- ome. They made the trip from the Copper City to their home in one day.
 Reviewing their eight days of hoofing it," they say that six and | one-half were actually spent on the road. In that time they also passed . through fifty miles of adobe mud, | but escaped the rains.
 Each carried eight pounds of mis- eellaneous articles, and the trip from start to finish cost them only SIP apiece This limited sum was expended because they met so many people who were generously inclined and emphatieally refused to take pay for anything in the house or on the farm.
 Their appearance at several places was regarded as novel, and the fact of every inch of the ground they

COLONEL WILSON
 END LONG FAST
From Thursdays Daily)

VT lOIh OdllSJ
 Yesterday morning, at o'clock, the time ball dropped on his twenty days of fasting, and Colonel J. F. Wilson again got down to living an everyday life, partaking of a few morsels of food. His abstinence was undertaken to combat a severe at tack of rheumatism, and while the remedy was a trying one to con- quer for few days, after he passed out on the stretch, ne has the satis- faction of knowing that when he jogged under the wire at the out come, he was as fresh as a colt and the rheumatic kinks were straight ened out for the first time in over a score of years.
 In relating the novel experiences endured in those long days, Colonel Wilson says that it is ne "triek" to play the game. All one needs is a firm hand in the beginning, and the rest is as easy as falling off a log. For two days after the task was undertaken, it was "toss up'' as to which would win, a tempting T. bone steak or the starvation stunt, but after utilizing all the moral suasion in his makeup, the pace kept on, and after the third day the de- sire for food diminished as easily as the sun goes down over the Sierra Priettas in the evening.
 Physically, he is emphatic in the

Contrary to that de- sire, his appetite lost out, and with an occasional swallow of water, and lessening of physical strength, the nervous tension anticipated was not in evidence, and neither was the desire for substantial food.
 In undertaking this novel manner to combat his physical ailments, Colonel Wilson says when he enter ed the race, ne tipped the scales at an even PAP pounds. When he fin ished he was down to a gentlemanly ringside weight of 2Os15. In leg ac- tion, he was again as 1.-the as when boy, and a pleasing result was that his rheumatic limp was gone, as also was the cane that he usually carried.
 The ills had passed out with the fasting and ne was one of the most pleased men in the city.
 On any recurrence of the troubles of other days, he states that he will take to the "hay route" again, earnestly believing that it is the proper channel to keep out of the jungles of human ills, and just as Upton Sinclair so vividly portrayed in the Cosmopolitan a few months ago.
 From a constitutional standpoint, Colonel Wilson is slightly weakened from his twenty days of total ab- stinence, but from another view point, that of being able to build up constitution for the new State, his keen eye and foreeful demeanor shows that he is hungry to get into the harness and scrap for what he believes is just to his constituency from a Democratic standpoint. He says in a terse manner that he wants to get his teeth into the manager, and from his past few weeks of get ting in trim, he can put up a fight that will not create any talk that he was doped or nervously shocked in giving all interests a run for their money when the work of the big convention passes into memory.
 Colonel Ed. Meek is taking a hitch in his big pantaloons and is preparing to go and do likewise.

NOTES OF INTEREST
FROM OVER THE SEA

London, Sept. 1.-THE English
newspapers which have given far
more space to the deliberations of The
tribunal of The Hague which has been
hearing the Newfoundland FisheIies
case, than the American press, are
interested in the decision, which it is
believed will be forthcoming within
the next few days. Although there
was nothing startlingly exceptional in
the case, it was acceptable to those
who desire a development of the prin-
ciple of arbitration. Freed from tech
nical details the questions submitted
We're l. AS to whether the British
legislature has the right TO make
fishery legislation that is binding on
United States as we'll as British sub
jects.
.. AS to the legality of the employ
ment by Americans of foreigners as
crews.
3. Whether or not American fisher
NE had the right to exercise COM
mercial privileges, viz, to buy bait
and other supplies within Newfound-
land waters.

Americans on their first visit TO
London usually comment upon the
great number of ragged and dry men
and women they see in the streets.
1t is not necessary TO go TO the
squalid parts of the city TO see them,
for they are visible at all hours in
the Strand, Regent and Oxford
streets, while aristocratic Pail Mall,
too, knows them well. Although
their poverty is real and obvious,
they do not beg, but shuttle listlessly
through the streets. London does not
hide its poverty and London's poverty
makes no effort TO hide itself. Ac-
cording to official statistics there are
1905 paupers in London, that is
persons in receipt of relief from pub
lie charities. This provides ra 10
