 In opposition to the proposal to reduce the duties on woods, and manufactures of wool, Delegate Cam eron of Arizona, pointed out in the course of his speech the fact that Arizona possessed a sheep population of about one million. He called at tention to the fact that there are approximately sixty-seven million sheep in the United States and upon that basis the due proportion was contained in the territory which he represents. However, he directed at- tentiOn to the fact that there were more sheep than people in Arizona, while in the rest of the country the condition was reversed. Mir. Cam erOn said that the sheep business is not one of the monstrous industries in which Arizona surpasses the world, but he carefully impressed its importance upon his fellow members of Congress, and declared that the democratic position in reference 10 the wool tariffs contained a lot Of bumcombe, which he pointed out in the progress of his speech. MT. Cam eron declared:
 "It is no mean industry that is thus being stifled. For every sheep that is raised in this country the grower pays an average of $1 in wages alone, and the aggregate of labor employed directly in the busi- ness of growing sheep amounts to $6O,OOO,0OO a year. There are 150,O0O people in the United States engaged directly in the care of sheep.S There are 7OO,O0o people in the country who year after year produce sheep. There are $233,OOO,OOO invested in sheep in this country and $500, ,OOO,- 900 more invested in lands upon which they are grown. All this investment is imperiled by the pres ent agitation"

One of the most thrilling fights that has ever been known to occur
 between man and beast, took place on the range of the Coeonino Cattle
 Company last week, in which Frank
 Cox, the attorney of the Southern Pacific and his brother-in-law, W. P. Sears figured in the killing of a large cinnamon bear. Particulars of the interesting encounter as related by several who were in the country at the time, and who passed through the city Tuesday, state that it was unquestionably one of the most ex- ceptional of eombats, and as related by MT. Cox and MT. Sears, the prin- cipals, both had very close calls from receiving serious injuries if not death. MT. Sears is one of the stockholders of the cattle concern, and was entertaining NIT. Cox for few days at the headquarter ranch, between the Barney Pasture and Sycamore creek. The former suL gested that a horseback trip to the hills be taken to hunt bear, which roam that country. When a few miles out, a large cinnamon was seen leisurely going down a steep ravine. MT. Sears, who is an expert hOrseman, started immediately in pursuit, unwinding his riata and making a throw, which massed its object. Recovering his rope he con tinued the chase, and when an open stretch was reached, he made the second throw, which eneireled the neck of his victim. Then followed lively maneuvering of esptOr and captive. In a few minutes MT. Cox came down the ravine with a Win chester and a fusillade followed.

TERRITORIAL ROAD
 EXTENSION IS APPROVED
CFrom Friday s Daily)


 S. s. Kellogg, engaged in mining in Tip Top district, near Columbia, arrived yesterday and states that the announcement of the probability of the territorial highway being ex- tended through that district immed- lately is received with much interest and satisfaction. One of the strong est arguments made against the de- velOpment of the mines of that eoun- try is the lack of transportation fa- eilities, which has assumed such a veXatiOus phase as to practically bar investors from coming in on account of the lack of, even trails to many mines. In another regard, that of commercial relations with this city, MT. Kellogg believes that with a good road, such as is contemplated, communication with the railroad at Crown King can be established inside of twenty miles. Under present con ditions Phoenix is distant over fifty miles, and all business goes there. He predicts a thrifty mining country when the new road optns that country to travelling facilities.

BLUE BELL MINE
 RICHER THAN EVER

Recent developments in the Blue Bell mine in the Big Bug district, owned by the Consolidated Arizona Smelling Company, show the ore bodies on the zoo foot level larger and richer than any ever encounter ed in the property. Three distinct lenses have been opened a distance of 45O feet, the south one having an average thickness of sixteen feet. The management is preparing to re- sume sinking and carry the shaft down to the 1000 foot level.
 Fifty men are employed in the mine and the output is one of the main ore supply sources of the Hum boldt plant.
 The mine is located in what is known as the 'Yavapai schist belt, " which cuts through the county from the United Verde mine at Jerome to the summit of the Bradshaw mountains. It has an approximate production record of a quarter of a million dollars in copper and gold. It was not considered of high merit until early last year when B. H.. Bennetts assumed the management of the company's affairs at Humboldt and opened the first large ore body encountered in it on the 300 foot level. Manager Bennetts had ex- perience in mining in the schist belt of Tasmania and on examining the Blue Bell at once recognized the similarity of formations and the pos sibility of the Blue Bell. 4 short crosscut opened a big body of sul- pntutS WHICH udS SuoMh a otSouy improvement in size and values with depth.
 MT. Bennetts has resigned as gen eral manager of the company and will retire July 31st, when he will leave for short visit with his family at Pasadena, later going to his former home in Tacoma, Washington. He is enthusiastic over the mineral possi- bilities of th;s county and intends to return here.

f will increase the treatment capacity to 55O or 500 tons day. The com pany is also contemplating the in- stallation of a new furnace, the re- cent invention of myself upon which I have letters patent from this and the principal European countries. The object of the new furnace is the utilization of all heats generated through or by oxidation of sulphide ores which are wasted under present methods. It will also do away with the present expensive machinery connected with smelters and convert ors.
 HIt is also the purpose of the management for further economical reasons to install a slag steam gen erating plant thereby using the waste heat in the slag for steam. From present indications this new power will reduce by the use of earbona- ceous fuel the cost of ore treatment at least 65 per cent. The use of coke is smelting will be entirely elimin- ated by the new furnace and slag steam generator.
 "At the power house a new 800 h. p. boiler is being installed in creasing the horse power to 1,5OO. fifty thousand gallons of water are being pumped from the mine daily and as depth is reached the flow is increasing. A switchbaek at the shelter is nearing completion which will eliminate the rehandling of GUS tom ores, coke and timbers for the mine. The new A foot addition to the converter building has been com

pleted and many other improvements made in the last few months.
 ''The mine has been proved to a depth of 1,1Os feet by churn drills and is still in the oxide zone. It is estimated that sulphides will not be encountered until a depth of 1,5O0 feet is gained. One ore body shows continuous a length of 2,100 feet. Six feet of ore carrying native copper was cut last week between the 200 and 300 foot levels. This is part of a twenty-eight foot ore body that samples four per cent in copper. The assays of the native run from Il to 17 per cent. Two distinct ore bodies, one on the foot and the other on the hanging walls, show in all the levels down to the 400 foot. On the 500 foot level a ninety foot ore body was proved recently and it is presumed that the two ore bodies have come together. Samples of the drillings gave returns varying from 3 to r per cent in copper. The deepest shaft is $50 feet or 75o feet along the ore body. Number 6, a double eompart- ment. is now down 300 feet and is being sunk as rapidly as possible to the 1000 foot level. Number 5 shaft is also being sunk to be connected with number at the 800 foot level where the large ore body, was recently opened. These shafts are 72O feet apart and in the main ore body.
 Operations at the shelter were interrupted July 4 by a washout on the railroad. One hundred and fifty feet of track was carried away by the flood, stopping the delivery of custom ores. The road is being re- paired and the treatment of ores will be resumed at once"
 The Clara properties are located in the Bill Williams river district in the new copper and gold region trib- utary to the Arizona and California railroad.

GOOD ORE IS CUT

Mohave County Miner.

MOhave County Miner.
 J. II. Mcdonald, a well-knOwn min ing operator of Ray, Arizona, pass ed through here Thursday last on his way to Chloride, where he will take charge of operations on the Minnesota Connor group of mines.
 It is understood that during the recent visit of F. NJ. Kurle to the east he succeeded in financing the property and that it will now be worked on a large scale. The new company. it is said, will sink the main shaft on the Minnesota sev- eral hundred feet deeper, getting be- low the old ore body, and where it is expected that a great body of rich silver ore will be encountered.
 The Minnesota-C COn1or group of mines is among the best properties in the county, having produced large ly of high grade silver ore for more than thirty years. Recently a fine body of ore was struck in the Connor that shows copper, lead and zine and carries good values in gold and sil yer. This streak of ore has been opened to superficial depth, but the impression is that it will lead to the big ore body to the south of the old COnnor shaft.

FIERCE ENCOUNTER
 WITH LARGE BEAR
Cinnamon Weighing Seven Hundred And Seventy-Five Pounds Lassoed And
 Killed on Mogollon Range

Every shot fired into the bear only
 intensified its rage, and both men
 at one time were in very dangerous
 positions. MT. Sears at a critical
 time succeeded in reaching a tree and
 after eneircling it and taking uP
 the slack, had the bear at ths
 mercy of MT. Cox's deliberate aim
 In this manner the animal was killed,
 but not until over fifteen bullets
 had penetrated it's body. MT. Sears
 was cool and collected during all ef
 the half hour after he lassooed the
 bear, and was unable to use his gun at any time. His expert horsemsn- ship and his familiarity in the use of the lariat, possibly averted serious consequences to both men. The bear was taken back to the camp, and when placed on the scales tipped ITS pounds. It was the largest that had ever been seen in the country, and must have been very old. Its hide was taken off and will be presented to the Hassayampa Club of Los An geles in a few weeks, as a trophy
 MT. Sears was formerly a member of the Arizona Legislature from Mari eOpa county, but since abandoning political life has become interested in the cattle industry. Mir. Cox was on Oak Creek on his annual outing and was being entertained for few days by his relative at his range headquarters. MT. Cox and brother, W. H. Cox, of Jerome, the latter being near the scene of the fight, passed through the city yesterday en route to Proenix. This is the second bear killed by this prominent Arizonan in that country in the past two years, the first one being a small cinnamon cub.

An exchange of ores between the Consolidated Arizona Smelling Com panv and the Clara Consolidated Gold, Silver and Copper Mining Company and an increased tonnage in the shipments of the Cleopatra Copper Company to the Clara smelter at Swansea, are the immediate results of the recent visit of George Mitchell, managing director of the Clara to this city and Jerome, Since resum- ing operations at the Clara plant, Manager Mitchell has demonstrated that the Clara ores are short about one and three-quarters per cent in sulphur for fluxing purposes and he is desirous of acquiring ores carry ing a high per cent of the latter. He is pleased at the results of his negotiations and the interchange of ores between the Humboldt and Swansea plants will be started at once and continued. He is now making a 66 per cent copper matte at the Clara.

ACTION ON LOCAL OPT|ONPET|T|ON
 POSTPONED AttorneysLing and Vyne Represent Opposing
 Factions WILL BE CALLED AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON FOR FURTHER
 CONSIDERATION.
(Bfom Fridays Baly.)

2 IVY When the local option election
 question was taken up for eonsidera-
 tion yesterday by the board of su-
 pervisors, at the afternoon session, an animated discussion followed, on
 the legality of considering the orig inal petition filed in June, and con taining the names, it is said, of 375 qualified voters. During the month that has ensued, this petition has been diligently analysed, and accord ing to communications presented by those interested, with letters on file with the board of supervisors, con- tains, over eighty whose signatures were affixed to the document with out their endorsement, included in which are the names of many who have left the country, some now de- ceased, and several who are not nat uralized, forming an interesting theme for the eontending factions. Reese M. Ling appeared against the peti- tion being considered on the grounds of its illegality, while \. A. Vyne represented the petitioners.
 After the session was convened a supplemental petition was filed by MT. Vyne and Rev. I. F. Mckay, which contained the names of P voters, asking for a local option elee- tion to be ordered by the board. The discussion was over considering the original petition and had continued for sometime, when District Attorney Ross was summoned by the board to appear and give legal advice. He was of the opinion that it was the duty of the board to consider the first petition, and today would give an opinion on the legality of the supplemental petition filed yesterday afternoon expressing himself, howtver, that both petitions should be con sidered jointly. Further action on this matter then went over until today at 1.30 o'clock, when MT. Ross will officially report to the board.
 During the discussion, on motion of Supervisor B. H. Smith, that the board of supervisors do not order an election upon its own motion, Su pervisor J. w. Stewart voted yes, and Chairman Harrington voted no, when the motion of MT. Smith prevailed.
 The question of whether a local option election will be ordered, de bends on tht opinion to be given to- day by District Attorney Ross as to the legality of the supplemental peti- tion being defective in so many in stances, and which was admitted yes terday by even the adherents of prohibition.
