BREEDING PLACE TO
BE LOCATED NEAR HERE

In less than one week after his
arrival in Prescott, J. B. Dam, of
Danville. Illinois, closed the deal
for taking over a large ranch near
this city. He will establish in a
few months thoroughbred livestock
breeding farm, making a specially of
cattle and particularly dairy cows.
With his wife, he returned east
yesterday, to close out his business
interests in Illinois. He contemplates
taking possession of his farm inside
of three months. The farm purchased
was not mentioned, but it is within
fifteen miles of this city. He con-
templates making an outlay of at
least $4,000.
His main herd will be kept at
Danville until next spring, as he
deems it inexpedient to remove them
at this time of the season and Until
the property is placed in first-class
condition to care for the valuable
stock he has reared
Mr.. Dam was explicit in stating
that strong inducement for es-
tablishing farm in this locality was
the elevation, the splendid climatic
conditions appealing to him more
favorably than any other place in
the Southwest he had visited during
the past two months. Attractive in
ducements in land values was also
mentioned, and which he believed in
the future would bring in many
Eastern homebuilders, soil conditions
being admirable and decidedly sur
prising in fertility.

an industrious and deserving widow
woman residing at Peach Springs, in

planned that her dairy and range

the surprising information that they
were being driven over the line into
Yavapai county and sold to certain
parties was their disappearance sol

Deputy Sheriff Joe Young who
was assigned to. the case. brought
to this city yesterday D. Ramirez
and c. Callales. two Mexican lab
orers at Nelson, who are mentioned
by the Mohavc Indians as being
the guilty parties.
According to the statement made
by these Indians they watched the
two MexicanS drive the cattle away
in the mountains adjacent, and lat
er they were taken to Nelson and
butchered, the meat being retailed
to several Mexicans who were en-
p1oyed at the lime works. Ramirez
and Callales were given a prelimin-
airy nearing dJ OcHBildu TIIudE, anu
placed under $500 bonds to appear
before the Superior Court They
were unable to furnish security. An

cattle or the range. they came for

solved the matter by informing the
officer what was going on and in
giving a description of the alleged
thieves. Deputy Young had been

has arrived in the city and will be
loaded at once and taken to the
camp on Mt. Union. where this syn
dictate is operating the Breed group
fmines. The shipment consists OF
an electric air drill, an ew engine and
ether apparatus, all modern and
designed for heavy exploration.
That the company proposes to op-
crate energetically and practically is
indicated from the line of develop
ment decided upon. The Florence
claim will be explored by a tunnel
of $50 feet in length which will
give depth on the vein of 800 feet
This work is attended with very
much interest by the management
the mine being a shipper years ago
when the ores were packed to Ash
Fork, and under this heavy expense
surprising net values were given. Al
the Effie claim, the main shaft, now
down 40 feet, will be continued to
200 feet At other points on the
group and in all workings, ore bod
les are in evidence, and there is
every possibility of the proposition
proving successful.

SOMETHING WRONG.

at 6 cents a bushel. Here in Lea

places in the country there are old
potatoes rotting in the bins.
And yet all last winter old pota-
toes were retailing at from 25 cents
peck up. This surplGsage that is
going to waste now shows that the
price was too high. The dealers
were too greedy. Had they fixed a

CURRENCf REFORM.

The framing Of a currency reform
measure by the administration and
its endorsement by President Will
son. Mr.. Bryan and other leaders
marks an era in the financial his
tory OF America. This nation has
stood alone among the civilized ma
lions Of earth in having q currency
system that was ineIastic. archaic
and which permitted Wall street
and it's interests TO control practi-
cally the money supply Of the coun-
try. The fact that two administra-
lions by different political parties
have accepted the need OF a reform
indicates how widely recognized was
the need of change. Under Presi-
dent Taft the Monetary Commits
sion was created and spent four
years gathering facts and formulat-
ing a bill. The National Citizens
League also gave publicity to the
needs OF business and brought a
wide knowledge Of conditions to the
people. President Wilson found
that the country was informed, that
It demanded action and he and his
leading advisors have prepared a
bill which is now before congress.
After all the discussion and the
objections that the Monetary Com
mission bill was an "Aldrich" mea-
sure, the present administration
has at last framed its bill very close
ly on the Aldrich plan as the best
scheme ever devised for securing
elasticity in the currency. All the
details are not available but in gen.
eral the bill follows the regional
idea of reserve associations and an
increase in currency when |
needed. Some Of the control con-
troll features have not yet been for
INFLATED but 1t seems likely that we
shall have real reform-and 1t is
highly creditable to the administra-
ton that 1t has so promptly taken |
hold of the problem. 1t will go far |
to maintain steadiness in prosperity |
and will be welcomed by business |
men.
The bill is not yet in its final
form and If the measure as at last |
adopted is not top-heavy with de-
tail and provides for trained bank
ers in responsible positions 1t ought
to be an accomplishment for which
the administration will have the
of the nation.

PLANTS KAFFIR CORN A TIMES.

Despite Bad Luck.

stead, has Just completed the re-
planting of his kaffir corn for the
forth time this season. Early in
May Uhl planted the first crop of
kaffir corn but on account of the
unusually cool and wet weather, the
seed rotted in the ground. Nearly
three weeks later he again planted
the crop but this time 1t was de-
stroyed by ants before it could
sprout. Uhl persereved, however,
and once again replanted but with
little better success than before for
this time the ground was too hard
and dry to allow the seed to germi-
nate. 1t was again attacked by ants
and destroyed.
