this regiment. This money should
 be spent for the erection or rental of armories and their equipment
 "It is well to remember in this latter connection that the army of approximately 100000 men support ed by France costs just one fourth more than this nation is now paying out for just pensions for past wars. But France is paying for protection, insurance as it were, while we are paying for past folly. Had we had l50,00O trained soldiers at the begin ming of the Civil War and the Span ishAmerican war, there would have been no four years fighting and suff- ering in the former and no fever camps in the latter. To be efficient the National Guard must have, first trained officers, and second trained men with field experience, having a fair knowledge of drill, rifle prac- tice, scouting, construction of en- trenchments, marching with soldiers and well schooled in camp sanitation. Interested men be- come enthusiastic in this training only when furnished adequate means and encouragement"

PARKER MINES TO
 CLAIM HIS ATTENTION
GFrom Fridays Daily.)

E. S. Osborne, favorably known in mining circles of the State as a con sulting engineer, and who has been associated with the New Mexico Lead and Copper Company, in the capacity of directing preliminary op- erations, left for Parker yesterday to begin the exploration of his gold and copper properties, by establishing two camps.
 The Arizona Pride and the State Of Maine groups are to be energeti- cally operated and the purpose is to maintain two camps during the sum mer. The former company owns fourteen claims, and the latter twen- ty-eioht, both situated about fourteen miles east of Parker, in a belt that shows unquestioned mineral possibil- ities. The Maine group has been prospected with several shallow shafts, and after q main working base has been established churn drilling will follow. The Pride group has over 500 feet of develop ment, and has been a shipper of high grade ores.
 Mir. Osborne is decidedly optimis- tic over the future of both proper ties. and will make his headquarters at the camps that are to be rehabili- tated and maintained on a perman- ent basis.

POPULAR COUPLE

tFrom Wednesdays DailyS

A romance of the hills, is a term applicable to very interesting event that eliminated in this city yester- day, when Mrs. Lizzie Plumb and O. A. Tyler of Crown King, were unit ed as husband and wife by Judge Moore at Forrest Sanitarium. The ceremony was witnessed by many friends of the principals, in which the ring service was used.
 The bride for several years has been a resident of the Brashaw mountains, winning the admiration of all. The groom, likewise, bears a splendid name and enjoys a high regard as business man for his up- right dealings with all. NIT. and Mrs. Tyler return this morning to Crown King, where they will reside in the future, and are followed by the felicitations of many in this city and elsewhere.

From Thurstay's Daily.)

Prescott is to have the greatest celebration ever held in Arizona on a Fourth of July. Outside of the State Fair nothing in the line of en- tertainment has ever been attempted in the State on such large scale as will be done on Frontier Day-the name definitely chosen last night by the general committee for the cele- bration.
 There will be $35oQ hung up as prizes, and there will be $500 alone for the cowboy bucking tournament which will require two days of con tests to determine the winners. By offering big purse for the main event the committee expects to at tract the expert riders from every section of the southwest, and word was received yesterday from Albu- Querque that a number of crack cowboys were preparing already to come and compete for the purses There is good reason to believe that every northern county will be repre- sented in the contests and that Tue son and Douglas will also send rep resentatives to enter the lists.
 Frontier Day will be advertised in every city in Arizona and the Santa Fe is making arrangements to se- cure a rate of one fare for the round trip from every railroad point in the State and as far east as Albuquerque. It is expected that this novel feature of the celebration which it is pro- posed shall be an annual event, will attract thousands of visitors on the initial occasion, and Phoenix alone gives assurance that it will send up a thousand.
 It is hoped that Jerome and Clark dale will forego their tentative plans for joint celebration this year and join Prescott in the festivities of Frontier Day, and to that end a committee of citizens will visit the Shelter City within the next few days and present the proposition.
 Plans are already under way to secure good representations from Apache, Navajo, Coconino and Mo have counties. In fact, it is already assured that a big delegation will come from Kingman in their auto mobiles.
 With such splendid prospects of an unprecedented attendance from outside points, the committee last evening decided to make Frontier Day a memorable event and one that would cause all visitors to leave satisfied and return on future occas- ions. Accordingly, the list of at

REORGANIZATION OF
 COMPANY E IS ADVISED

PHOENIX, May 21.-In his re- port to Governor Hunt, Richard D. LaGarde, First Lieutenant, United States army, assigned for duty with the Arizona National Guards, makes several recommendations one of which IS of particular interest to the company at Prescott. In this con nection Lieutenant YaGarde says:
 The plan of the Adjutant General to re-organize Company E at Pres colt and to transfer Troop A of Morenci to the regiment as com pany is considered to be for the best interests of the service. Troop A is situated in a mountainous region unsuited to cavalry training, very few of its men are trained horse
 men at enlistment, and if called out 1here appears to be grave doubt as 10 whether it could get horses to Loudsberg or some other main line railroad Junction in time to be of any use Tn an emergency. Further more 1t has proven impracticable to form separate troops, especially if from different States into cohesive regiments when called into United States Service, and it is therefore ex- tremely unlikely that this troop would be called out as a troop of the national government even in case of war. This organization is almost double the expense 10 the state and 1he War Department that a company would be. Its mounted equipment can be issued to mounted officers and thus making a saving, as these must soon be equipped ac- cording to army regulations.
 Tt is urgently recommended that suitable armories be furnished all | companies of five years standing and that sum at least equal to that ai- 1 lotted by the United States be ex- pended by the State of Arizona on

FAITHFUL TO TRUST
 FOR 30 LONG YEARS
From Thursdays DailyJ

NrrOin InurSoay-S DallyD
 An exceptional case of enduring
 friendship to the memory of th' dead was unraveled yesterday in tn,
 Superior Court, when John Giocl
 was given judgment in a certain case, and later disposed of the prop erty involved. Around this litigation there lowered the jealous protection of strip of l60 acres of patented land in the Agua Fria Valley, owned by John Brown, and when deatt overlook the owner, MT. Clock, true to the ties that bind one man tc another, endeavored to locate the heirs of the deceased. Years rolled in and out, and now after nearly 3 third of century and not single relative answering the litigation was instituted which came to an end yes terday.
 During all these years, MT. Clock has not only preserved the farm and improved it, but he has paid the tax es annually and sought every avenue to find any relatives of the man who had passed out, but without any one answering. The property has sus- tained the friend of the deceased, but the remuneration has been slight "One year has been favorable, while another sapped the profits, in short, it has been a stand-off game" said MT. Clock yesterday. "I want to go home to St. Charles, Missouri, where two brothers reside. William Pierce, neighbor, wants the farm, and l have just closed the deal for $5,000, and tomorrow it goes to the new owner. After the death of my friend I represented him by staying on the ground, anXiously awaiting the com ing of some relative to whom to turn over the property. Not sing le one has appeared in over thirty years, hence the litigation that ter minated today in a decree being giv- en me. The coming trip to Missouri will be my first one out of Yavapai county in over third of a century, and it will be the first time brothers will have greeted each other since they parted as mere boys to fight the long battle of our lives"
 MT. Clock is arranging his business and expects to leave on his journey some time next week His fidelity to trust is known in the country where he has resided, and has oc- casioned favorable comment. "Yes, will return to Yavapai, later; l have been here too long to get moulded into a new rut in new country" were his last words as he was getting aboard a wagon to re turn to the old ranch to say good bye to it.

SPRAY BERRIES AGAIN
Plants should BE Kept I'm Prime Conj,i-
tion-tirowcrs should Harrow Soil,

This Is the time when bush blackber-
ries should be sprayed for the second
time, says the Puyallup Valley Trib.
une. Three sprayings are necessary
to successfully combat the dread dis
ease anthracnose, which seems to take
special delight in attacking these
plants, and to keep them in the very
pink OF condition. That they should
be kept in prime condition is absolute
ly necessary, If the grower wishes to
produce berries which caf be sold
fresh. and SO command the highest
price.
The three sprayings which are neces.
sary to bring about the best results
should be given as follows: The first
just before the leaves are out; the sec.
ond. when the leaves are about half
grown, and the third, just before the
bloom opens.
The rains of the past week have
been OF very great advantage to the
berry fields, in fact, just what they
needed. A very large percentage of the
growers had their ground in recep-
tive condition, so that the moisture
could be absorbed readily, and so have
reaped benefit. But it must be re-
membered that when ground Is in good
condition to receive rain II is also in
condition to lose the full value of
moisture by having it extracted by
WIND and sun. Every grower should
get into his fields with a shallow har-
row Just as soon as the condition of
the soil will permit. 1t is injurious in
the extreme to attempt to cultivate soil
"heh IL Is TOO wet. But just as soon
as 1t shows no tendency to stick or
puddle, 1t should be worked thoroughly.
