OLD TIMER HERE.
OFrom Thursdays Daily.)

Desmond Sumner, a driver oi freight teams of the late s. C. Mil Ter in the days of long ago, when the nearest railroad was over 500 miles away from Prescott, is in the city for a few days to renew old time friendships while returning home to Colorado City, Texas, from Winnemucca, Nevada. MT. Sumner handled the ribbons on a sixteen string of mules that pulled freight from Ehrenberg to Prescott, and business when the iron horse came along. He visited the old Miller homestead near the city yesterday, which remains the same today as in the long ago. He helped to build the old blacksmith shop that still stands, but is fast decaying. He is surprised at what time has accom- plished in making a city out of a mining camp center, and recalls not a single habitation of his day.

F., P. & P railway to the west of this city, about five miles. had a miraculous escape from death on Thursday afternoon by cave-in of from four to five tons of rock, while working alone in the shaft.

His entire body, however, is badly bruised, and he remains at the camp with his body bandaged from head to foot It will be several weeks before he can handle a single jack again, and then, only on the condition that there is someone overhead to watch the formation and be ready for any emergency that may arise.

LARGE DOMAIN IS
 TO BE RE-ENCLOSED

Stringing eigIt miles Of wire or the side lines of the big Valinda Rancho in Williamson valley, owned by George A. Carter, begins next week The post holes aggregatins several thousand, have been dug and the material will arrive this week with which to enclose this large acreage for grazing range cattle.
 Five strands of wire are to be laid, from which will be inferred the durability of that enclosure. Mir. Carter states that between 5000 and 6,000 acres are to be fenced and that other lands are also owned by his company but which remain open for the present. This ranch passes from a small concern in early days to one of the largest in the State for cattle-raising purposes, and from its desirability for such uses, is attract ing fame everywhere.
 Yesterday afternoon MT. Carter had as guests at the Valinda, Harry Tritle, of the Phoenix Gazette; John McCurdy, a visiting cattleman, and Fred E. Edwards, of the Senator section, conveying the party by auto mobile on trip of inspection.

(From Fridays Daily)

Frank R. Goodman, division en- gineer, assigned by State Engineer Lamar Cobb to the Cherry Creek division, arrived from that point Wednesday. He states the cutoff sur vey is being run, as decided upon by the State and county.
 The grade begins at the summit of Cherry Creek hill and goes down the saddle to the old Pfau mill, which is the controlling point of the route upon which the new road is to be built. This locating work will can tinue for several days, when the low percentage grade will be established, on which active road building will of the north and south highway. the north and south highway.
 This movement finally settles the route on which State funds are to be allotted on the State system of highways of the future, so far as the two routes to Camp Verde are to be considered, and for which there is available in the State treasury at present the sum of Sl8OOO, unused by this county.
 Arrivals from the Verde valley and other points to the east of Prescott during the past few days state there should be some action taken imme- diately by the State and the county jointly to make repairs to the roads between this city and Dewey. A succession of cloudbursts has placed the highway in the vicinity of Lynx Creek in deplorable condition, and traffic is practically at a standstill. Not in many years has such havoc been wrought, and what was a fine grade a few weeks ago, has vanish ed into ravines and Instructions, making the route practically impass- able.
 Two owners of auto custom cars yesterday cancelled orders to again make the trip to points east of the city, one stating the damage to his machine was greater than the com pensation received. Very few teams out of Dewey, and mo autos from this city, are making the trips, going or coming, in consequence of the worst road conditions possible over that route.

MEMBERS OF GRANITE EN- CAMPMENT HOLD THEIR ANNUAL OUTING AND IN DULGE IN BALL GAME
(From Saturdays Daily)

The members of Granite Encamp- ment No. l, l. O. O. F., held their first annual outing on the 27th, and a most enjoyable time was had.
 The entertainment committee, con sisting of Messrs. Brown and Sharp neck kept things humming all the time. the first event being a steer tying contest, in which Lester Ruff ner came out first, time three minutes. The next event, the bail game, who can ever forget it? Bill Poulson was the star of this event. With home run with three men on the bases, and some very classy third base plays, they came so fast and hard that he asked the general to send to town for Fred Moore as he was the only member that could stop hits of that kind.
 Sam Dreyer did some very clever base running. got a three base hit off Jack Jones, and nearly caught a fly ball in right field. The umpire fired Jones out of the pitchers Dox. telling him that he did not care to be on the disabled list for q while. and that he was not a target for L. s. battleships. There were some good, hot drives whizzing by the umps., which kept him lodging. Jack retired when Reddin lost the ball in the pines a mile awoy.
 Al Crum did some clever back stopping. having about thirty pass balls to his credit, while Eli Stauffer, who did the catching for the op~ posing nine, Is sporting a black eye. Brown, playing shortstop. did the turkey trot to left field when the first hot drive came his way. and did the marathon thereafter when balls were hit his way.
 Jones played his usual game at the bat. Poulsen striking him out twice. Bill was not very proud of that feat, however, as the rest of the boys were turning the same trick.
 Some clever work was done at first base by Cruikshank. Umpire Suder was fair in all decisions, and all were satisfied except Wood, who is the Evers of the Camp. It is agreed that the scorekeeper was rotten: and that he, at times. failed to score runs that meant a whole lot to the losing side. His excuse was that the score card gave out

Contrary to reports in circulation that the Consolidated smelter at Humboldt was to resume ore pur- chases on a custom basis in a short time, R. T. Walker, superintendent, while in the city yesterday said that the plant was to continue treating the yield from the Blue Bell mines exclusively, and the date for buying outside ores, as yet, had not been decided upon.
 MT Walker stated that \construc- ton work was going on at the smelter at the present time, which necessitated the curtailing of the treating capacity of the plant to about l25 tons per day, and that when the normal tonnage Is to be handled. of 150 tons per day, the Blue Bell only would be accommo- dated for an indefinite time.

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, July 2S.-Cattle receipts here last week were the heaviest of the sea- son, 49,O0O head, 16,OOO greater than corresponding week last year. Kill CTS efforts to depress prices were largely nullified by the presence of an extraordinary demand for stock cattle and feeders Country buyers took 1000 cattle,and submitted to rise of 25 to 60 cents at the same time. Same week last year they were satisfied with 1000 cattle.
 Middle and low grades of grass steers, including quarantines, declined 25 to 90 cents, but upper grades, good cows and prime fed steers held steady. calves 25 to 90 highe-. Receipts today, 13,00O; market is strong, except fed steers, which are barely steady. Quarantine cattle are 10 to 20 higher today. stockers and feeders unevenly higher Best Green wood county grass steers are as high today as any time last week, at S7.S0 to S8.25; lighter steers from that sec tion, and Westerns from the Brook vile district are selling at a10 to S.45.

DEVELOPMENT

Prescott stockholders of the United Verde Extension Mining Company, operating the Little Daisy and other mines at Jerome, will be interested to learn that large plan of de velopment is being crystallized. and the installing of heavy machinery would indicate a very active future for these holdings.
 The Arizona Power Company is extending its line from the Jerome Verde ground to the site of the Iron Carbonate claim, where a 120-horse power hoist is to be installed i'm mediately. This point was selected as the most logical for the main workings of the future, and where exploration will be concentrated on one of the largest plans ever ad- vanced for this proposition. The new hoist will be distant from the old working shaft on the Little Daisy, about 800 feet, and a new wagon road has been built to con meet up both places. The big hoist is to be driven by electrical power, and is now at Jerome, ready to be erected in the next few weeks.

 Jerome comes into the limelight in a Los Angeles court, in which the principals are Mir. and Mrs. N D. Ross, the latter filing suit for divorce, which was heard a few days ago by Judge Monroe.
 According to press reports, Mrs Ross, on the witness stand, gave the following version of her martial woes: q told my husband one evening to choose between me and cards. and he chose the cards. He had neglected me on hundreds oi occasions to play stud poker, and he seems to have been welded to the vocation of regular card gambler One night l told him explicitly tc make his selection between me and the cards, when he said the cards looked mighty good to him, and he left the home in an instant, and without saying another word"
 After somewhat of an extended and elaborate review of her troubles Judge Monroe asked her to submit corroborative testimony, intimating at the same time that he would probably grant her a decree of di- vorce. The Roses are we'll known residents of Jerome, and were mar ried in Arkansas in 1887.

 Apollos of Prescott, in trousers Of spotless white flannel-chaperoned by Maitland Davies, and assisted splendidly by Mesdames Fay South worth and Leo McMahon and Miss Irene Wells, furnished nearly 40O music lovers of the Mile High city with a splendid musical and literary entertainment at the New State theater last night
 Nearly the full membership of Prescott's first mannerchor qualified when the curtain rose, after the rendition of an introductory number. MT.
