HAROLD PRESLEY
 ATTACHED BY RATHER
cFrom Sundays Dany)

-1-fl (F'rom Sunday's' Daily)
 Almost miraeulous was the escape yesterday evening at 5 o'clock, of Harold Brisley, son of MT. and Mrs. Harry Brisley of this city, from be- ing bitten by a rattlesnake. Master Brisley was riding his pony over the flat south of Fort Whipple, when he was surprised by the poisonous re tile, which struck him on the right foot before he was aware of its. presence.
 Feeling something hit his right shoe, he looked around and saw the monster snake eoiling for a second strike, when he urged his mount be- yOnd it's reach. He dismOunted and, attacked the snake, which was stilh rattling, and in a warlike attitude, with it's tongue prOtruding between its fangs. The reptile escaped into a nearby hole before he succeeded in dispatehing it.
 The rattler struck his shoe two inches below the stocking line. Luck fly, the fangs did not penetrate the buekskin fOotgear. rs.

VERDE FRUITS ARE IN GREAT DEMAND
(From Sundays Daily.)

NIIOm Suuudy OdIy.I
 A. S. Haskell, one of the prom. inent members of the Verde Valley Fruit Growers Association, yesterday while in the city, gave an interesting review of the success attending the recent consolidation of the interests of the fruit men of that locality, imparting the agreeable information that the undertaking for the first sea son of its existence is exceeding the expectations of all identified with it. In addition to the disposition of thousands of boxes of fruit to many settlements within the county, the de- mand is heavy from all sections of the Territory, and he believed the company is entering a career that will show the wisdom of the move ment from a financial standpoint.
 Going into details on the produe- tive resources of the valley among the many members, and the market that is available at the present time, he says that an average of 800 boxes of peaches per day are shipped through Jerome for general distri- button through their agents in Pres eOtt and elsewhere. Following this daily output he also made the state ment that the association has an or der for the great number of 10000 boxes of peaches that are destined for points in and out of Arizona. This stupendous shipment will begin in the next few days.
 Contrasting the situation with that of last year, MT. Haskell states that practically every box of peaches will find a market this season, while in the year previous not one-tenth of the production was marketed, the greater portion rOtting on the ground where it was grown.
 In another line, that of apple grow ing, the early varieties are also ready to be shipped, and in a few days will be on the market in this city. The first to arrive will be the inn proved Belle F1eurs, followed in their seasons by half a dozen other vari- cities. It is his belief from the in- l quiries coming that the apple pro- duction will carry the same regard | that the peach has received, and will 1 further add to the stability and prominence of the association. More labor and enthusiasm is prevailing in the fruit lands of that section this year than ever before, and be- hind the spirit of all men identified

YAVAPAI PIONEER sUC-
 CUMBS TO PNEUMONIA
(From Sundays Daily.)

Andrew Emerus Orr, a former pio- neer goat raiser of Yavapai county, died here August 9th, in the Milton hospital, after an illness of only four days, says the Coeonino Sun.
 The deceased had sold his inter est in the goat business and just re- turned from an extended tour of the Northwest, when he was seized sud denly with a severe attack of pneu- monia. When the serious nature of his illness was learned, his brother, W. J. Orr of Cloverdale, Cal, was telegraphed for, and he arrived Thursday at the bedside of his dying relative. Friday morning, at ? o'clock, the sick man passed away.
 The deceased was 42 years of age, and leaves four brothers and two sisters to mourn his loss. He made will before he became unconscious and his brother has been appointed exeeutor of same.
 The remains were shipped to Azusa, Cal, for interment.

Groom Greek, according to a state ment made yesterday by T. J. Laird
 the mining man, is passing through an era of general mining activity, and in addition to individual opera tions, several camps have resumed work in the past few days. Among the more prominently rated, that of the Midnight Test is undergoing a thorough sampling of its ores, in or der to make definite determinations of the necessary process required to treat the output. In previous mill runs the loss in the tailings is said to have been from SIP to SIS per ton. The mill tests being made at present are under the direction of John Harlan, who, it is reported, has materially reduced the values that have been passing away. The tests will continue for several days, and on the outcome the decision to add a cyanide plant will be eonsid- cred. The Midnight Test enjoys an excellent reputation among miners, and the current belief is that it is destined to be one of the greatest gold producers in that field. In the deeper workings an ore body carry ing high values and from two to three feet in thickness, is uncovered in the face of the drift.
 The Gold Basis mine and mill are being operated under lease by c. R. Green, who is said to be making a success. The mine is one of the old est in that section, and is said to have. strong ore bodies. It is we'll prospeeted, and the intention of the

BATTLE SCARED MONSTER
 LION IS KILLED
(FrOm Sundays Daily.)

Bill DeAdder, the trapper, was in from the Sycamore Canyon country, Wednesday, says the CoeOnino Sun. On this trip out he succeeded in trapping and killing an old outlaw mountain lion over twelve feet in length. During the past year the big brute had killed about five head of saddle horses in that vicinity. De- Adder has been on his trail for near ly six months and just succeeded in getting him. He was an old veteran, covered about the head and should CTS with the sears of numerous bat ties.
 In addition to this prize, MT. De- Adder killed a bear with fur nearly a silver gray color, a most peculiar shade of fur, and a specimen never before killed in this section of the country.

 Work mas been resumed during the week on the Sunnyside group, in shaft sinking and drifting. The re- suits are very encouraging, and it is probable that the mill will be started on the output in a short time. ''--s. -at.
 MT. Laird states that the cloud burst Thursday was the most de- struetive that ever occurred in that section, the wagon road up to the Midnight Test mine from the main route going out. It is impossible to loaded teams and will have to be re- built the entire distance. He says the further expenditure of money on the old grade is nseless and that the route should be changed to cover a higher elevation.
 The Territorial highway engineer corps has reached that district, and finished a survey for the new con- crete bridge that is to cross the creek about fifty feet east of the postofiee. The survey line of the road passes about half a mile east of the main travelled road to the Senator mine. The actual distance of the road from Prescott to Groom Creek is six and one-half miles, and the constructed portion is pronounced by those who have travelled over it. as a boulevard. For the present travel has been suspended in order to give thS finishing touches in cap ping the surface with decomposed granite and rolling it with nesEy rollers. .r =

Eastern Stevens county should
have representation in the state
legislature. Matters of interest to
this side of the county are bound
to come up in the next session of
the legislature, and we should have
a representative there to take care
of our interests. S. j. Appleman,
the Republican candidate from the
east side, should have a strong
support throughout the Pend
Oreille valley. His record as
business man and citizen of New
port is such as to warrant the con-
fdence of the people.

that the expense of conducting it is
only about rs per cent of the total

lent record. Coupled with this
record is prompt and efficient &C

Republicans of Stevens county

Republicans of Stevens county
were never before so thoroughly
united as in this campaign, and
this is because the ticket as select
ed by them at the primaries Is
made up of good men, competent,
honest and reliable from top to
bottom. There is no excuse for any
Republican to vote wrong this time,
for the reason that every Repub-
lican candidate is worthy Of the
the undivided support of his party,
and a clean sweep should be the
aim of each individual voter. Every
candidate on the ticket is person
ally known to nearly every voter OF
the county, and the people are also
familiar with the records of those
Republican candidates who have
served Stevens county in the past.
and they are proud of them. The
Republican line-upsis so perfect as
to have caused an almost deathly
silence in the ranks of the enemy,
who can see nothing but defeat
ahead for them. and are therefore
waiting for the final result with a
patience seldom heard of before. -
