After an official trip as deputy assessor of over one thousand miles in the western and southern parts of the, county, E. W. Stephens has re turned to the city, and gives an in teresting review of industrial eondi- tions as ne found them. Generally speaking, he is enthusiastically i'm pressed with the country and its pro gress since his last official canvass a year ago.
 Going into details he says the mining outlook is more reassuring than in the previous year, and where he found one operating company in 1910, there were three in 1911. Min ing engineers and prospective invest ors are in all the districts, and it is apparent that several sales will fol low, and that many of the old mines will again be under operation at an early date.
 Compared to 1910, in the range in dustry, ne declares, there is no dis putting the favorable change thOt had taken place. Feed is abundant and stockmen are jubilant. The season is far advanced and the cattle are prae tically ready for market at least six weeks ahead of any previous year. The prevailing high price is also a pleasing one. and the number of buyers from outside states revives the old saying that men on the range are again to be regarded as "cattle kings The fame of the Yavapai range is reflected by the great num- Der of transient bands of sheep that have arrived during the winter from New Mexico, and the visiting owners state that never before had they seen such favorable conditions.

LOOKS SUSPICIOUS.
(From Fridays Daily.)


 The invitation of Chairman Dillon of the Democratic Central Committed to his contemporary of the Repub liean organization to assist in "se curing the approval of the Constitu. tiOn,' bears the outward semblance of patriotism, but it looks like a trap. "'Tne voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hand is that of Esau.''
 If MT. Dillon's communication had been differently worded; if it had contained a specific proposition to the Republican party to assist in a movement for securing Statehood on such lines as would be approved bv the President and Congress, then the JournaEMiner would possibly have been justified in approving the idea. But until we have a bill of partieu- lars, our endorsement must he held in suspense.

YAVAPAI COUNTY IS
 RAPIDLY ADVANCING
Deputy Assessor E. W. Stephens Gives Interesting Review of Conditions
 As He Found Them
(From Tuesdays Daily

MT. Stephens states that it is the general belief of rangemen that in a few years the small owner must pass out of the sphere he is occupying, the big eattleman slowly but surely absorbing his interests. This prin- eiple is prevailing today, and tine sales that are being closed at very high prices leads to this conclusion as being inevitable.
 Churn drilling operations going on at Copper Creek, at the old Zonia mines and other points, establishes a new development principle that is meeting with favor. Several pros peetive operators are also preparing to introduce this apparatus, and the advent of the new determining factor to establish mineralogieal conditions to great depth is generally commend ed as the safest and most expeditions manner to solve the mining problem. At least three points will be selected for this method within short time
 On the range and farming lands, the introduction of storage dams to conserve the water during the dry summer months is also being taken up, and in this connection he states that many inquiries were made of him as to the feasibility of these en- terprises from his experiences with the well known project in Ferguson Valley. These impounding structures are to he made of concrete, and in several places the service will be large, draining large water shed.
 Road conditions in the south are good, and in the Black Rock dis trict, through the diligence and cap ability of Overseer Rice, the finest grades in the county are to this road builders credit.
