FERGUSON VALLEY
 DRY FARMERS PROSPEROUS
GFrom Thursdays Daily.)

Crops in the Skull and Ferguson valleys are looking splendidly and promising bumper harvests. according , to Arnold Cruiekshank. who is just up from three day trip in those sections of the county.
 He saw. at Ed Stephens ranch in Ferguson valley, dry farming corn which. in his estimation, will go 65 bushels to the acre; this crop is now about five feet high and caring out fine. There are about thirty-five acres
 u the patch. which is 1900 feet from the nearest water and not sub-irri- gated.
 Beans, in thirty acre patch, under the same conditions, are in bloom, green and lusty and promise a big yield Alfalfa. for second cutting stands waist high on a meadow of fifteen acres. The dam was filled to the brim by the last weeks freshet.
 Although Stephens has not irrigated his land this year. owing to the sea sonable rainfall, his possibilities in this direction are great, thinks Cruick shank. Enough water is developed in a cut just below the raneh-house to irrigate 100 acres. Several perennial springs make a stream of over fifty miners. inches within 400 feet of the house and this flow, with an expend- iture of $500 could all be utilized.
 Davis, the arch dry farmer of Yav- apai. has some corn in equally good condition to that of Stephens. which, owing to expert care, promises to beat any record for that crop heretofore made in the history of the county. He is feeding last years corn to his hogs. which are fattening rapidly.
 The orchard of J. I. Gardner is in fine condition and he evidently has a bumper prospect in the later-ripen- ing varieties of pears and apples.
 Cruiekshank says it is hard to real ize that such fertile valleys exist in county, without seeing them for oneself.

BULLION COMING
 FROM TIGER GOLD
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 Since the recent rains in the Brad. shaws, the Tiger Gold Company has started dropping twenty stamps, and from a few days run gold bullion and concentrate returns have been mater iaIly increased, three bars reaching the Prescott National Bank yester- day that aggregated a value of over $500. The concentrates will arrive today and are consigned to R. H. Hetherington for shipment to Fl Paso. It is believed that with the abundant water supply now available this com pany is entering upon its greatest productive era, and its plant will be run to the full capacity, enough mill ing ore of high grade being blocked out to supply the mill for the next two years.

Jud Neill Now Prisoner In the County
 Jail
IS CAUGHT IN CLIFTON AFTER A CHASE OF THREE
 YEARS.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

After successfully eluding capture since 1908, on the charge of cattle stealing, Jud Neill has been run down, and was brought to Prescott yester- day morning by Sheriff J. W. Smith, his arrest taking place a few days ago at Clifton. Neill is accused of stealing four head of steers from Andres Ochoa on the Lower Verde, and after a warrant was issued Neill immediately left the country, accom- panied by a confederate. He went to Mexico. where he remained for over two years, returning to Arizona about six months ago. He was traced to Bisbee, Douglas, Globe and other towns, and last week when he made his appearance in Clifton was taken into custody. His arrest was effected in a neat manner, and al though he had a reputation as being a "bad man," vigilance on the part of the officer prevented him from carrying out any evil intention. Neill it will be remembered. shot and kill ed Frank Devine at the Four Mile house on the Lynx Creek road in 1907, after which he left this sec. tion, going to the Verde valley where he followed COW punching. He was tried for the killing of Devine and acquitted The arrest of Neill is considered as a very important one The warrant that has been success fully served was on file Tn the sher ifs office of this county when Sheriff Smith assumed his duties in January, 1909, and from that day until the arrest was effected.

CLAIMS AGAINST
 INDIANS BEING ABULATED

SPOKANE, Wash, July 25.-Claims aggregating several millions of dol lars, presented by creditors against Indians on various reservations throughout the United States. are be- ing tabulated by the office of Indian affairs, says C. F. Hauke, acting commissioner. in a letter to the Spokane chamber of commerce through United States Senator Poin- dexter, in reply to a complaint by the commercial club of Covada, Wash. as to the settlement of Indians debts, adding:
 ''As soon as that part of the sehed- uling which covers all claims present ed by creditors of the Indians of a given reservation is completed, steps will be taken to promptly and i'm partially adjust these claims accord ing to the resources of the debtors and the merits of the elaims.'
 Commissioner Hawke emphasizes the fact that the department of the interior has restrained his office from acting as a collecting agency for creditors of Indians. Continuing he says:
 "Through the allotment. of land to individual Indians and the consequent acquisition by them from proceeds of their land of individual bank ae- counts under government custody, the limited credit which is essential to good business management has been so far abused that the depart ment has found it necessary to re- strain this office from further cOuntenaneing the extension of credit to Indians. except on the same basis as creditors would extend to white customers.
 Following this departmental or der. certain rules and regulations have been formulated with a view to placing the individual Indians af- fairs on cash basis by providing for the reasonable expenditure of his land money for his benefit, either under supervision or without super vision, according to his competency. Experience already has proved the wisdom and utility of these rules and regulations.

WORK UNDER WAY ON SPEEDWAY
 EXTENSION

TUCSON. Ariz., July 2s.-Aetual work on the new boulevard or exten- sion of the Speedway has begun. It was started Monday when Superin- tedent Smith put a party of men to work clearing the line of the road and drubbing out. The roadmakers will follow behind these and push the work of making an extension of the Speedway that will be the equal or the superior of the present splendid boulevard.
 Supervisor HOhusen stated yester- day that the work of road building for the additional Speedway had been started. It did not begin at the point where some had expected it to, but to the south. Superintendent Smith starting his men at the end of Sixth avenue. It is an immaterial matter at which end the work begins for it will not take long to complete it and the completed speedway will be ready for use when the first of the winter tourists arrive in the fall.
 \. F.. Plumer of the Automobile club and Good Roads association said yesterday afternoon that the ther workmen. those who will make the load proper, will follow close behind the force that the county has put in the field and will push the work of roadmaking as rapidly as is consist ent with good work. He thinks that it may be completed in two months, but it may take a little longer.
 When the extension to the Speed way is completed Tucson will have about it the finest stretch of auto mobile road in the southwest. The splendid road that now exists is delight to automobile drivers from wherever they may come and brings recurring expressions of admiration. But the new addition upon which work has just been started means more miles of this same kind of road and puts Tucson far in the lead of other southwestern cities as an ideal place for the motOrist. an automobil- ing hub.

Private of Company A Brought Explosive
 From Texas
SAYS HE INTENDED To BLOW UP THE GUARD HOUSE AT
 SAN ANTONIO.
(From Saturday's Daily)

Officers at Fort Whipple made the startling discovery yesterday that one of the privates of Company A, had brought enough dynamite with him in his trunk from Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, to blow up several buildings.
 Just how the officers were warned of the presence of this amount of the dangerous explosive is not known but it is rumored that while in Prescott the soldier boasted of his having a large quantity of dynamite in his possession and his confidante immed- lately notified the officers.
 A rigid search was immediately in stituted and a large quantity of dy- namite was found in the trunk of Private Frank Douda, Company A, 18th Infantry which has just return ed from border duty at Fort Sam Houston.
 The officers admit the finding of the explosive and say that Douda gave as his reason, "that he did not get a square deal when in San An tonic, had been placed in the guard house and had afterwards obtained the dynamite with the intention of blowing up the jail and had not an opportunity. so had brought the stuff to Prescott with him in his trunk''
 What will be done in the matter is not known at this time but it is ad- mitted that Douda is a man to be watched and he will probably be placed where he will not be able to carry out his threat.

THAYER PLEASED
 WITH CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
(From Thursdays Daily)


 Col. E. P. Thayer, general manager of the Arizona Land and Irrigation Company, after a few weeks inspee- tion of his eompany's interests, and whose visit at this time was to study climatic conditions to ascertain rain fall measurements in the watershed of the project, returned to Indianapolis last night, firmly convinced of the feasibility of impounding a sufficient supply of water, and satisfied with general conditions in the possibility of retaining the vast acreage ae- quired. He expressed surprise over the large volume of water that fell and which would be stored by the dam to be constructed on Willow creek, which he believes will be revelation to his associates in the east. when the data is placed before them. The novelty of summer rains In this section, and the daily preeipi- tation which fell within the confines of the dam watershed. were a revela- ton to him and were verified by per sonal investigation. During the visit of Col. Thayer he daily visited the large acreage his company has ae- quired and made a speciality of fam iarizing himself with soil conditions at several places. His observations were satisfactory, and he returns east more enthusiastic over the un- dertaking than ever before. It is hIs belief that in a short time title to the 15,0O0 acres of land covered by scrip, will be adjusted, and when that question is cleared, active eonstrue- tiOn on the big dam will be inaugural ed on Willow creek and on the diver sion dam on Granite Creek at the same time.
 Col. Thayer said that the eompany's finances were in splendid shape and that the interest in the east over this large reclamation project is keen and interesting. He expects to re- turn in a few months and will be accompanied by several customers prominent in financial and eommer- eial life. During his absence, Geo. A. Thayer, his son, will have charge of the company's affairs.

VIKING PROBLEM
 CONFRONTING SPOKANE

SPOKANE, Wash, July 25.-What to serve as jurors with men when the Spokane county superior court con venes next September. Is one of the vexing problems confronting the five members of the bench. headed by Judge Henry L. Rennan. The various clubs in Spokane have given out statements that their merabers are ready and willing to do jury duty. The judges hope a modern Solomon or POrtia win come forward to unraveI the tangles presented by these possible situations:
 If twelve women are selected t0 try a ease and six disagree from the other six.
 If four women decide they are right in a civil action and six men jurors hold opposite views
 If mixed jury of men and women is kept together in a felony ease until all are agreed upon a verdict
 If six women and six men are locked in room to determine the guilt or innocence of a person charged with a capital crime
 heIatlng to service Of Jurors in the superior court the law adopted by the legislature of 1911. says:
 'Any woman desiring to be ex- eused from jury service may claim exemption by signing a written or printed notice thereof and returning same to the sheriff before the date of appearance. and if exemption is claimed by reason of sex. no fee shall be allowed for her appearance.
 The law provides that the jury sworn to try the issues in felony cases shall be kept together and in custody of the officers of the court except during the actual progress of the trial, thus putting it squareIy up to the judges to solve the problem allowing the question to solve itself, if the women who desire to serve as jurors can not settle it themselves.

What is regarded as the most i'm portant determination ever made by the Champion Mining Company was reported yesterday by James Humphreys, superintendent, who states that in driving the main working tunnel, a new body of sulphide ore was cut a few days ago, which car ried good values. The vein is strong, and in character shows new mineralo- gieal conditions in the mine MT. Humphreys was in the city a short time, returning to his camp during the afternoon.
 W. W. Elliott, interested in the company, will leave today to make an examination of the new strike. The Champion is located in Crook Canyon, and development has been under way for several months, sew eral test runs of the ores being made at the Venezia mill, giving good re- turns.

The improved showing in develop ment. which we thoroughly examined at everf point opened to the 450 foot level, the manner of operating, and the outlook, could not be better. From what has been determined in develop ment. there is no question over the future. the ore bodies increasing every day as depth is reached and indicat- ing permanency. People who have invested On a basis of speculation, are now investing on a basis of an insured investment The installing of the new and splendid equipment has added at last fourfold to the in- creased operating capacity of the property. Stock sold one year ago has advanced in value until today it has trebled. A few days before we arrived at the camp. one of the most important determinations was made on the 450 foot level when a body of five feet of gold ore was cut. This vein was penetrated in a crosseut and will be explored fully. The economical and systematic manner in which de- velopment has been performed by NIT. DeCamp. comments his efforts as well directed. In a very snort time all dead work will be competed, and the four veins that appear On the surface are being exposed from the 45O level, showing good values and well defined bodies.
