CIRCUS PICTURES AT PALACE
The Feature Film of the Hagenbeck-
Wallace Circus Shows Many Sem
satioaal Scenes.

SAJkOAe%A 0SOAAASs
When the camera men set out to
photograph the Hagenbeck- Wallace
show for the moving pictures they
soon realized that they had the most
difficult subject yet offered them. It
is comparatively boys play to photo
graph scenes and fake pictures in a
lighted studio. When one has the
earth and dome of the blue Sky for
the studio with an ever varying light
and scores of restless moving objects,
including hundreds of horses, animals
of every kind, acts of every variety
and costumes of every design, with
a transformation scene constantly in
progress, the success of the photogra-
pher in securing the excellent NOV
ing picture which he did of the Ha-
genbeck- Wallace show must be ad-
mitted to be marvellous.
The pictures of the animals are
truly wonderful, and the spectator
will notice the perfection of the art
of photography as it is demonstrate
ed in the color of the animals shown
in these pictures. 1t seems as If one
could run their hands through the
hair or fur of the beasts.
These wonderful pictures will be
shown in Dawson at the Palace the
atre June 18th, afternoon and night.
The doors will open promptly at l
D. m. There are four reels of the
pictures, and they include every
phase of the big circus from the ar
rival of the advance cars to the de-
parture of the circus.

Northern Arizona Fair.

The Northern Arizona Fair Associa- tion, which will hold its first meeting in Prescott some time in October, is rapidly shaping it's organization. On August :, at It's second regular meet ing, the following county vice.presi- dents of the Association were un. animously elected:
 Mohave, Henry Lovin, Kingman: Navajo, Ed. Sawyer, Winslow; Coco nino, T. A. Rlordan, Flagstaff; Apache, Fred Colter St. Johns.
 These officials have just been notified of their appointment. It is sincerely hoped by the management that they will accept the office and put their shoulders to the wheel to make the first Northern Arizona Fair an un- qualified success.
 A committee of Yavapai citizens will meet the commissioners of the Verde Valley Fair, on August 20, at Camp Verde, and dates will be ar. ranged to prevent conflict between these two fairs.
 Delegates from the organization are on their way to the mid-August Board meetings at the county seats named to secure the co operation of the Northern tier of counties. The dates for the Fair will be announced later in the week

Tarr Mine Shuts Down.

The Tarr Mining Company has shut down it's operations at the old Blue Point property, near Smartsville, after having spent many thousands of dol lars on one of the most extensive min ing plants in this part of the State. Apparently the investors, most of whom are said to be Sacramento peo. pie, have lost all they have put into the mine.
 During the past few weeks some of the machinery of the plant has been taken away, and the men employed have been discharged.
 A report distributed to the stock holders few days ago stated that the superintendent. A. J. PrOser, had re- ported that the values in the property were not sufficient to warrant further development or expense, or the closing of the deal with the New Blue Point Mining Company for the property on which the mine is located. The prop erty is the famous Paddy Campbell mine and has always been considered to be valuable mine, notwithstanding the fact that the present company has failed to make good.
 The contract with the New Blue Point Company expired June 23, 1913. At that time there was due the final payment of l32,OlO 9lS, according to the undated statement issued to the stock holders A trust deed amount ing to 5, ,3Sl 25S was said to be due at that date also.
 The failure of the company to win a judgment for the amount of water it needed in the action brought by the ] Wheatland hop companies is said to have crippled the mine to some extent.
 It is said there was a debt of but 4500$ when the statement was issued. Grass Valley Union.
