LIVELY FIGHTING
 REPORTED NEAR BORDER
(From FridaY's Daily ]

W. E. Smith, Coconino county cat tleman, who passed through the city yesterday, from Mexieali, and other belligerent sections of Lower Cali fornia, states that the insurrection is under full headway in that country, and some lively fighting in the des- ert country has taken place during the past few weeks. The act of the Federal forces passing onto American soil, and violating the, neutrality laws, has created considerable excite ment, and by this abuse the sym psthies of the people were shown to favor the insurrecto forces. He says it is difficult to learn how the war progresses, many vague reports reach ing the people. The greatest interest seems to be centered on the fate of the work going on near Calexico, where the break in the Colorado River in being repaired by the gov ernment forces. That point prom ilses to be the scene of the next big battle on the isthmus

REPORTS ACTIVITY.
iFrom Friday's DaiIy.l ]

L. B. Cannon, after a brief busi- ness visit to the city, returned to the S&nta Maria, yesterday, to re- sume his mine development. He states that the expert examination of the Chauneey Clark mines is now under way, MT. Fisher, a California operator, supervising the work, and intends to devote several days more to the examination. It is probable, MT. Cannon says. that a sale for a large sum will result. At other places in that district there is an upward movement to revive old mines, and it is probable that sev- eral will be started in the near flu ture. MT. Cannon is also heavily in terested in the live stock industry, which, he states, has reached the highest consideration ever recorded. The range in that country he reports as the best in many years, and the outlook for a continuation of pros porous conditions encouraging.

TO STOCKTON HILL EASTERN BANKER
(From Thurssay's Daily.)

CFrom Thursdays Daily.)
 For a brief time yesterday Pres cott had the distinction of having in it's midst c. H. Dodge, one of the members of the big banking house of Phelps, Dodge & Co. of New York, and the largest stockholders of the famous Copper Queen mines at Bis bee, Arizona. MT. Dodge was en route from New York City to his interests in the south, and stated that he took the Santa Fe route for the purpose of paying a visit to the Grand Canyon, and to also inspect his interests in Copper Basin, where the Commercial Mining company, a subsidiary organization of Copper Queen stockholders, is developing it's properties. He travelled in his pri- vate ear, "Naeozari," named in honor of the Mexican town where he is also identified with mining, and when Skull Valley was reached it was his intention to travel by teams to the camp in Copper Basin.
 Speaking of the resumption of op erations at that point, he stated that it was the intention to make exten- sive determinations, and the solving of the problem whether the stratified condition would lead to large ore bodies with depth, would be con tinued until definite results were ob- tained.
 MT. Dodge is not a stranger to this section. In 1886 he accompan- jed his father to Prescott, and visi- ted the old works in Copper Basin, when a smelter was running, and when surface operations were con ducted in a primitive way. He evinced a lively interest in the out come of the present work, and re- turns to the old camp imbued with his company making success at this late day. He was met at Skull Valley by Major A. J. Piekrell, the in this county, and conducted to the works. He will re- main until this afternoon, eontinu ing his journey to Bisbee. He is also the treasurer of the Fl Paso & South western Railway company, and will remain in Arizona for several days. In the party are his wife and two the Misses Elizabeth and Julia Dodge, his son, Cleveland H. Dodge, and Miss Scudder of New York, their guest.

MADIzELLE GROUP
 IS REPORTED SOLD
From Fridays Daily)

C1AAgJ
 By the filing of deeds yesterday in the Recorders office from George U. Young, to the Madizelle Mining company, for the interests of the first named in and to a group of ten mining claims, in the Sierra PTi- etta range. west of the city, and for the interest of George U. Young, Thomas Smith and F. o. Poison in and to the Derby mine, an adjoining claim, it is believed that the trans fers signalize the consummation of deal entered into a few months ago, when the mines were placed under option of sale to a French syndicate. Preceding the option agreement, the mines were exported by a corps of engineers, and while publicity was not given to the re- suits of the examination, it was quietly reported that the engineers approved of the properties, and later a statement was issued announcing the deal closed. During the past few weeks it has been reported that rep resentatives of the syndicate taking the group over were to visit the and since that time they have been expected daily in this city. Mir. Young, it is also stated, is to arrive in Prescott in a few days. and coincident with his com ing he will be joined by the repre- sentatives of the purchasing com pany. The deal calls for the pay ment of a large sum and with the Yavapai interests those at Goldfeld in Pinal county, are also included. MT. Young has been operating the Madizelle group for many years, and has done thousands of feet of de- velopment on the claims.

 Within the next ten days the Mount Elliott Consolidated Mines company will resume operations in Chaparral on a more extended scale than ever before, was the statement made yesterday by W. C. Short, gen eral manager, who arrived in the city a few days ago from Pittsburg In outlining the plan MT.

The character of the work will be decided in a few days and for the purpose of making prae- tieal observations and to familiarize himself with the ground, MT. Short will leave tomorrow for the mine, to remain until all the details of the plans are erystallized. Accompany ing him will be H. William Stevens, president, and W. J.

 F. O. Smith submitted an amend ment to the bylaws providing for fee of $1O from nonresident mem bers, viz, those residing outside of Prescott, and the matter will be acted upon at the next regular meet ing.
 Reese M.

YAvAPAI ORCHARDS
 FREE FROM DISEASE

In considering the great possibili-
 ties of the apple industry of Yava- pal county one thing stands out
 above all others, and that is the freedom of apple trees in Ysvapai county from disease. In reading over
 reports from the apple industry in
 other states, it appears that a con
 stant warfare must be waged against
 insects and disease. When the offer
 made by the owners of the Fair
 Oaks orchard is considered it is
 seen how free from insects and dis eases are the orchards of Yavapai
 county. This orchard mad the finest
 apple exhibit at the last Territorial
 Fair that was ever exhibited in the
 Southwest. Its owners proposed to
 give the entire exhibit to anyone
 who would find a wormy apple in the
 exhibit. An apple man from New
 York, with confidence borne of long experience, proceeded at once to at tempt to capture the prize, but after spending over four hours he gave up the quest in vain, and at the same time pronounced the exhibit to be the most perfect he had ever seen This one item should be of great in terest to all those who consider planting orchards. No other place is so free from insects and tree dis ease as is this part of Arizona.
 It is found that where successful apple orchards may be grown that trees of other varieties will also grow successfully. The possibilities of tree culture is in it's infancy, so far as Arizona is concerned. Those who grow the best crops and grow them first are always the ones to reap the largest rewards. People of Yavapai county, get busy, and make Yavapai a land of trees, and not trees alone, but profitable trees. The Agricultural Department will furnish you free much useful information and advice. Its reports will give you a history of the successes of others that you may profit thereby. A land of trees is always a land of plenty. The rainfall in Yavapai county is ample to grow trees and trees should be grown which will yield a profit. When the splendid forest trees grow without either eul- tivatiOn or irrigation is it not req sonable to presume that other trees properly cultivated, will more than equal the forest growth. The his tory of the Williamson Valley and Verde Valley orchards is familiar to all, and what can be done there can be done in many parts of Yavapai county
