GOOD SHOWING
 IS MADE ON PROPERTY
(From Tuesdays, Daily

After n long period of idleness. the old Redman mines of McCabe district, are to be placed in an active state of development immediately was the announcement made Sunday by C. R. Shipman, who left for the coast to be away for the next two weeks.
 Mir, Shipman has effected the re- organization of the property, and henceforth the Rcdman Stockholders Company will be in charge. M. N. Andrews will assume the manage ment of the company. and is arrang- ;"s :c establish a camp and begin active development on a permanent basis. An operating equipment is on the works, and other accommoda- ,ions are available. The property bears good name from attractive mineralogical conditions in evidence. and it is the belief of mining men conservant with underground con ditions that the practical work to be extended merits the outlay of the capital to be expended. Mir. Andrews bears an excellent name as a minir % engineer and has been in this sec ,ion for several months.

ONLY CARELESS
 NO CRIMINAL INTENT

J. w. Casperson who recently got in little trouble with Tucson peo- pie over a cheek transaction, is back in Prescott a free man. Mir. Gasp erson says the incident was due to a misunderstanding. he having issued checks on overdrafts which the bank had until the instance mentioned, always cashcd. Regarding the affair the Tucson Citizen of a recent date contains the following article;
 "J w. Casperson, who has been held in jail for week awaiting his hearing on the charge of issuing checks when he had no money in the bank, was before Justice Comstock yesterday and was released. Justice Comstock and the prosecuting att torney, c. O. Hilzingcr. being of the opinion that the man had been pun ished sufficiently. . ..-.
 "Casperson issued several checks, all for small amounts, on the Mer- chants bank when he had no funds there. The checks were all made good SO that no one lost, money. It appeared in the trial that Casperson doesn't know much about keeping accounts and is very careless in such things. He had money in the bank making frequent deposits and ire. qucnt cheeks. I, seemed that he didn't always know. when he had q balance on hand." t..

BAGDAD GETTING

J. K. Miller. who is in the city from the Belle group of mines on the Santa Maria, states that the pre- liminary movement toward the Bag dad Copper Company resuming op- erations Is noticeable in the placing of large number of men at work to repair the roadway from the main camp to Hillside station on the railroad This work is now go- ing ahead with much activity, while in other channels the rcviving of op erations seeems to be thc plan of the immediate fututre in lie ac,iv- ity noticeable in various departments.
 NIT. Miller also states that the leasers on the Boyd gold mines are meeting with better success than when they first assumed charge, and the output is certainly gratifying. lt IS predicted that the next run of the mill will be attended with a larg- CT ouipu, of bullion than formerly. in Tact the character of the yield at present shows stronger mineralogi- cal indications than at any time in the history of the undertaking
 The district generally is passing through new era and many old mines are again to be operated.

HONOR" MAN IS
 NOOW AMONG MISSING.
(From .Tuesday's Daily)

Another cog has slipped in the re- form machinery toward penitenitary convicts who come under the sweet scented classification of being one of the pets of Governor Hunt.
 This time Dan Reynolds, who was sentenced to serve fourteen years for forgery committed. has duped the executive and flew the track. The escaped convict was headed toward Prescott on Saturday and every cf- fort was made to effect his capture by the sheriif's office of this county, but the hunt proved fruitless.
 To add to the humor of the occas- ion, Reynolds was seen in Phoenix on Saturday night, but under the soft shadow of the dome of the capital building he hid out, it is said. until the propitious hour arrived and he made his getaway.
 This unctuous fclon is said to have fooled "thc bunch" from the prison officials up to the governor and that he had friends to clude the rapid fire criminal sleuths placed on his trail few hours afterward, goes without indulging in further details of another successful exit among some of the hard ones of that insti- tuition with the judgment of jury proves to have been in vain for go- ing to the trouble to convict

FUR FARMING BY UNCLE SAM

The Department of Agriculture at Washington is to add another to its long list of activities. It is about to start great reservation in Idaho for the purpose of raising furlbearing animals for profit. That is an excel lent place in which to begin the ex- pertinent Idaho has an abundance of room-more room than people and a remnant of few of the more important iur-producing animals are still in'its vast wild spaces. In that state less than half as many people as in St. Louis arc scattered over au area 2o per cent greater than that of the whole of Missouri It has an average of only four inhysbi,sn,s to the square mile.
 This will moi be altogether an ex- pertinent. for there arc a few private fur farms in the wilds of the United States and Canada. Uncle Sam's however. will be on a far larger scale than any of these. and will be con duced on scientific lines. In some of the private inclosures not only arc mink and marten raised. bui foxes of all varieties. which arc far more diff. cult of cultivation, are produced. For years fox raising was a failure. but methods have been evolved by which it can be carried on success fully, The skins of foxes loi the black and the silver breeds being from s30O to 5000 n pel,. which means large profit to the producer who is able to raise any of them The government is to start with mink and martin. both of which are moderately plentiful in some parts of Idaho in a wild state. and 1t Is tc gradually extend it's plant" until |; covers beaver, fox and the other moro valuable kinds of animals.
 As the demand for furs is iucreas- ing far faster than the population while the supply of the more val, uablc sorts is declining. the govern ment's aim in its Idaho enterprise is ,o prevent the supply from dying out, and also, by scientific cultva- ton. to give points" to private pro- ducers which will enable them to enlarge their field oi operations The quantity of iurs which reach the mar. kets of the United States every year is increasing but this means the least valuable of ,hcm---thc muskrat, the skunk and other sorts of furs which 'are found comparatively near the

PHANTOM FEAR OF
PRESIDENTIAL YEAR.

There is superstition to the ef-
feet that in a presidential year bus
mess necessarily must be disrupted
| and dull. 1t is one of those myths
which somehow sneak out of the
shadows and appear real. The great
est breeder Of hard times is the fear
OF hard times. just as the main
trouble in the panic is the fear of
the panic.
When business voluntarily shrinks
in preparation for business decline,
that decline is bound to come. II
business knew no fear it would be
only the most extraordinary condi-
tions that depressions could, come.
Already some business men are
getting ready to help bring on the
presidential year depression" II
enough Of them join in, as usual they
viii succeed in bringing it about. BUS
mess can fail to decline II business
men generally cut down their capa-
city to do business.
The sound sense of the people Of
the United States is sure safeguard
against the overthrow OF settled po-
licies. The interest OF all are bound
up in a common cause. and those in
terests are pretty sure to be always
conserved. Nothing short Of a whirl.
wind Of public excitement can render
any extreme change possible.
Every four years for lis years we
have had a tremendous conflict be-
tween two or more parties for the
control Of the government, and 1t
has never mattered particle in the
long run whether one or the other
won. Sober political opinion is the
real ruler OF this country.
Safety and prosperity depend not
upon the triumph or failure at the
polls Of the principles proposed by
either pparty. but upon the honest
enforcement Of the sound old princi-
PIES long settled upon by the Amer
lean people.-Ex.
