INDIANA INVESTOR CHARMED WITH
 YAVAPA|

Hon. A. J. Venniman, one of the leading democratic politicians of In- diana, who has been in Prescott for several days, in connection with Speck Mining company matters as the trus- tee of bondholders, left yesterday for home by the Southern Pacific route. During the last session of the state legislature, he was speaker of the house of representatives and as a tribute to his fair rulings he was pre- sented with a beautiful and costly ring by his democratic colleagues and his republican admirers, which he carries and very much cherishes. This distinguished citizen of the Hoosier State was agreeably impressed with his visit, and believes that Arizona under statehood will attain a fame that will bring it to the front as one of the most prosperous divisions of the nation. He took back several boxes of apples grown on the Speek Mining eompany's ground, which he will display in his offices in Indian apolis, to show the wonderful fertility of the soil This fruit was practi- caily grown wild without the trees receiving any other care than what nature has bestowed, which has ex- cited his admiration in the prolific yield and unexcelled quality of the fruit. He contemplates returning again in the near future to look after his mining interests.

MANY RELICES OF
 ANCIENT RACES FOUND
From Sundays Dailyl

After several weeks of investigat- ing prehistoric ruins and engaged in general archaeological research, Dr. Walter Fewkes, of Washington, D. C.. attached to the Smithsonian Institute has returned east, enthusiastic over his observations and elated with what { has been determined. In the wide range of country covered he has prae- tically visited every point in north ern Arizona, devoting particular at tention to the Verde valley, where many extinct Aztec communities were in existence, and which proved very interesting. In the vicinity of Pres colt, along Walnut Creek, and other places, his observations were also in- teresting and instructive, and show many conditions which, until his ex- aminations were made, were not known. He stated that in the Red Rock and Beaver Creek districts the many large buildings that once were found intact clearly prove tat they were inhabited by thousands of peo- pie. In the Prescott section. how ever. or across the Verde range for many miles, his research was eonclu- sive of distinctive condition of vacations. \ system of notifications were found which, in some localities, were of immense dimensions. This was especially evident along Walnut Creek, where one old rampant, from four to six feet through and over $50 feet long. built in a semi-circle, must have harbored at some distant day many hundreds of warriors. Of lesser dimensions were other old fortifica- tions, and in all the country on this side of the range not one habitation was viewed that would indicate any other occupation than that of being used as center of defense. On the other hand. the Verde buildings show the contrary. Dr. Fewkes was con- ducted over the country by John RoaTk of Jerome. who is familiar with Aztec legend, having devoted many years to research work in that line. The latter displayed yesterday, before returning home what he says is mquestionably piece of money, and which in character is the first relic he has ever found among the ruins It is about the size of a 25- cent piece and three times its thick ness, with small hole in the center. It is artistieally cut, and still bears the variegated eoloring to indicate evidently its denomination. It is made of hard stone, and worn very smooth.
 pr. FewkeS took away several hun dred rounds of various implements unearthed during his investigations. In his field work he was accompanied by his wife, who evineed keen de- sire to learn of the past races and who is well versed in knowledge of extinct peoples.

FORMER RESIDENT
 MANAGER OF BONANZA
(From Tuesdays daily)

Friends in this city of Mir. and Mrs. J. B. Cleveland will be pleased to learn that they are located at South POrcupine, Ontario, Canada, where the former is general manager of the West Dome Mines company. In a letter to Harry Brisley, MT. Cleveland states that the West Dome property is destined to be one of the bonanza gold producers, being situated on ad- joining ground to the Big Dome, which is attracting much attention, for it's heavy output of fabulous values. On the West Dome are streaks of gold ore two inches wide that sample 60 per cent in free gold, while the rest of the vein for 10 feet in width is very rich. He also states that he is driving three shafts, using drills sim liar to the diamond in construction. His camp was similarly stricken with others in the great timber fire that passed over that country few weeks ago, which gave the country a very desolate appearance. He is much pleased with the general outlook of that belt, and unhesitatingly states that published reports of the richness of the country are well founded.

ROAD WORK BEING
 RUSHED

Chas. B. Howard. of the Prescott Auto company, has returned from the Verde valley aud Mogollon noun tains and reports the territorial high way work as progressing rapidly at several points, and the people very enthusiastic over its construction. From Montezuma s well he rode over the completed portion to the plateau that has been finished for over. seven miles and pronounces it an ideally constructed roadway similar to that from this city to the south. From the summit to Flagstaff several teams are at work and it is stated that by November 10th a fairly good route will be available to Flagstaff, the present plan being only contemplating repairs. A large force is at work from Montezuma well toward Camp Verde, twelve miles distant, which will be ready for outoists by De- eember 18th at the latest. This DOT tion of the road is somewhat rough at present, and until repaired at cer- tain points, it difficult for a machine to traverse. The approaches to the big concrete bridge at Camp Verde are in bad condition, but it is stated force of men will soon be dispatch ed to that point to remedy existing evils. From Prescott to Camp Verde through Copper Canyon the road is in very good condition, with the ex- eeption of that portion lying east of Cienega and through the canyon. MT. Howard states that with the route from the Verde valley to Flagstaff completed the benefits will be ineal- eulable. In addition to commercial advantages, the admirable summer eli mate with the fascinating scenery that will be presented to tourists will rebound to the benefit of the country dreds.

MINING ACTIVE IN BRADSHAwS
 (From Sundays Daily.)

John Lindell has returned from a visit to his mining claims in Silver Mountain district, and brings samples of antimony ores that are attracting considerable attention, being the first of this character that has ever been developed in the district. It is pure and contains no other valnes except ? per cent in copper. It lays in punches several feet from the sur face and was a novelty to experienc- ed miners, who were unable to pass upon its identity.
 MT. Lindell states that the Brad. shaw district is very active and there is no doubt but what an era of heavy production is near from the amount of work going on and the good show ings. He says that the Lake Superior and Nevada company is erecting magnificent plant and a vast amount of improved machinery is being freighted by the Packard motor truck from Crown King to the camp, five miles distant. This new method of transportation is creating much in terest and since being placed in com mission has carried its. maximum amount in weight, 5000 pounds, and without any mishap. Every trip out of Crown King sees many spectators around, and as a result of the sue cess of this method in freighting, it is probable other companies will in troduee the system, which in addition to expediting traffic is also an econ omical method that exceeds all spec tationse.

EXHIBIT ATTRACTS
 EXPERTS OF WORLD
Greatest Authorities on Dry Farming In Europe and Australia Coming To
 See Fertile Yavapai Lands
By Malcolm A. Fraser
cFrom Tuesdays Daily

From Tuesdays Dailya
 The Arizona exhibit at the Interna- tional Dry Farm congress was an edu- cational undertaking. We knew that Prescott was not as well known in Colorado Springs as we would have liked. But we had no idea of the hide bound ignorance of the outsider and particularly the Fastener in re- gard to the northern part of our great empire.
 The question "Were there corn and peaches raised in Arizona7" was so common that we were exhausted long before lunch time every day and had to point mutely toward the Santa Fe map on which Yavapai county was boldly outlined in black.
 The Aztec beans shown by Messrs. Wynkoop and Boblett and the peaches exhibited by MT. Alfred were the chief attractions of Yavapai's $ booth. which was only twenty by twenty four feet In this space nearly one hundred people were packed near " every hour of the five days of the congress.
 Yavapai county was the gospel preached every minute and snow, which prevailed there for three out of the five days, did not lessen the charm of our glowing description of the climatic charms in The Place to Live.
 The second day had not closed be- fore almost all of the literature ship ped to the congress had been exhaust ed and when additional supplies ar rived. we were forced to be sparing Ten thousand booklets might well have been placed in good hands dur i1g our stay. But we had our Cham Der of Commerce register and took the names and addresses of over 2000 real "live Ones.'
 When we took the first prize for white dent corn, raised by good old Tom Brock, Oklahoma let out a vail that should have been heard clear into Prescott. This was rightly con- sidered the greatest laurel in the long list of awards.

SECOND GADsDEN
 PURCHASE IS DISCUSSED
(From Tuesdays Daily

There is some rather quiet but peculiar talk going on in Arizona just now,' said man just up from west ern Mexico by way of the unfledged state. Now that statehood is as- sured Arizona wants to have a sea- port. To that end lot of people are discussing under their breaths the pos sibility of another Gadsden purchase.
 When that purchase, which added over 45.000 square miles to the areas of what are now Arizona and New Mexico. was made from Mexico, it was violently opposed, as the $10,- 100000 outlay was considered waste of money Yet people in Arizona point out that half a billion dollars has since been taken out of that ground. They are crazy down there about becoming a Pacific coast state, and they figure out that if this gov ernment could acquire a strip less than 200 miles wide it would serve the purpose.
 4'Men who are familiar with condi- tions in Mexico argue that it would not be difficult to persuade that gov ernment to sell piece of Sonora for, a good cash consideration. That is a part of Mexico that has always given the Mexican government a great deal of trouble, and some people figure that it is of little value to Mexico and would be of great value to the United States, particularly to Arizona, which foresees vast possibilities open ing up with the completion of the Panama canal, with cheap freight rates from the Atlantic coast and rapidly developing empire. But peo- pie in Arizona are so scared at their own idea of territorial acquisition that so far they are only whispering about it. New York Sun

PHOENIX, ATiz., Oct. 24. - The primary election in Arizona passed quietly, according to reports here. The vote was light, except the demo- cratic party which probably boiled its full strength because of numerous contests on the ticket.

The socialists named the entire ticket as nominated, but one man for each office.

 One third prize for corn on stalk out of two entries set us back some. but the judge told us that Yavapai farmers are letting the stalks grow too rank and allowing the corn to bud too high from the ground
 Charles Liedenfrost and Count Nemes. of Budapesth, Hungary, will make a special detour to visit Pres eott in the course of tour of the dry farm areas of the world in the near future. They are both large es- tate owners in their country, a large portion of which depends on farming without irrigation. Both are aecredit- ed representatives of their kingdom.
