YAVAPAI COUPLE
 WEDDED AT MESA
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

(From Tuesdays Daily.)
 A wedding event of very much inter est to residents of this city and the western part of the county was solem- nized at Mesa a few days ago, Miss Mabel Fisher, of Prescott and Fred Miller of Skull valley, being the prin- cipals.
 The happy couple left the next day for their future home on the Santa Maria, where the groom is engaged in livestock raising. He is native born, the son of Mrs. Fachel Miller, of this city, an estimable member of the pio- neer colony. The bride enjoys a splen- did name in this city, where she is fav- orably known and is of charming per sonality. Mrs. Miller returned yester- day from Mesa with her granddaughter, Miss Esta Redden, after witnessing the marriage of her son. Mrs. J. w. and Mrs. 1T. N. Cook, of Kirkland valley, sisters of the groom, were also present as was Herbert Miller, brother of the groom, who acted as best man.

THIRTY DOLLARS A POUND FOR
 MEAT

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Thirty dollars a pound for meat is regard ed as good stiff price, even in New York in these days of high cost of living. Yet that was the price recently paid by an officer oi the City of New York, and there has been no complaint of graft as yet
 Probably the explanation is that that meat was hippopotamus meat and still alive. For two 25O-pound baby hippopotamuses the Bronx Zoo paid S15,0O0 to Carl Hagen beck's animal catching company, and counted itself we'll off by the trade. The baby hippopotamus, by the way, is not an ordinary hippo which has not yet grown up. It is a distinct animal, much smaller than the giant which is supposed to be the "Leviathan" of the Book of Job.
 Slavers coasting down the Gulf of Guinea two hundred years ago used to bring back reports of such an animal as the dwarf hippopotamus, but no specimen ever reached Flu rope, and it is only within the last few years that naturalists have be- come convinced that the slavers were not deceived by the natives, or authors of some sailor-like yarns on their own account. Some of the other new beasts at the Zoo, which now boasts of 4,S27 animal inhabi- tants, are a Hamadryas baboon, two Bengal tigers, an antelope with a one prong horn, five hooded seals, a cheetah and two Tasmanian dew ills.

CARTER ACQUIRES
 THE STEWART HOLDINGS
(From Sundays Daily.)

George A. Carter, who returned yes terday from Los Angeles, confirmed the closing of the deal for the large land and cattle holdings of J. w. Stewart and son, Clarence E. Stewart in Will. liamson valley as having taken place in that city a few days ago. The con- sideratiOn will run close to $75,000. In cluded in this deal are over 40 acres of patented land, all range privileges water rights and all livestock owned by the Stewards running in that coun. try. In acquiring this valuable property MT. Carter will consolidate the same with his Valinda Rancho possessions, which will aggregate over 6,500 acres of patented land and hundreds of head of range cattle, making one of the big gest and best range interests in the state, and of that magnitude as to give it prominent consideration as one of the most desirable in that line of business also.
 Associated with tn Valinda holdings is an abundance of water at all places on the range, fine grazing the entire year, and a climate that is unsurpassed for range purposes. NIT. Carter will fence the entire acreage, portion of the tract being already closed.
 The deal is creating very much com ment, and is one of the largest from an individual standpoint that has taken place in the northern part of the state in many years.

 A brief review at this time of the Copper Queen, will prove interesting to mining men of this field, as the property passes from the stage of a prospect and is now classed among tre coming big producers in gold and copper ores. Nearly ten years ago the initial work was started, but the panic brought a suspension of operations. Nearly two years ago new life was infused, when MT. Goldman assumed the management. During his administration capability prevailed and the outcome is re- flected in the making of big mine as incontrovertible. To substantiate this regard there is in evidence to- day of a body of ore that measures from eight feet to twenty-two feet in width, and its sulphide nature would indicate that it is valuable. This showing prevails at a point about 750 feet from the portal of the tunnel that has been run for about 1000 feet Further explora- ton at this point is to begin i'm mediately. and three srifts will be placed at work to drive the winze, now 100 feet deep to 200 feet ad- ditional. Previous development and at other points reveals large ore bodies, but which have not been disturbed With the splendid show ing determined, the immense ton mage is being held in reserve until some time in the near future when the introduction of plant is to be taken up for consideration. The Copper Queen, in short. has been quietly and methodically. operated, and its unquestioned mineral rating is attracting the attention of mining men, not only in that field but throughout the country generally. Another favorable feature of its past and present management is that it is clean financially and bears an excellent name in the business com

BASHFORD AUTO GOES
 ON WILD RAMPAGE
(From Sundays Daily.)

Residents of this city will be inter- ested to learn that MT. and Mrs. w. c. Bashford, former and well known resi- dents had miraculous escape from death near Pasadena, Cal, on Thursday last when their auto plunged over a bridge into an arroyo. Both escaped unhurt. Press reports of the accident are as follows:

ing of a bridge head foremost into a deep arroyo. Both occupants were prac- tieally unhurt. Had they been stunned or pinned down by the ear they would
 have been drowned, for one of the horns of the frame punctured an eigh- teen inch water main that supplies the town of Monrovia. Instantly a geyser spouted up and within a few minutes produced a small river. Mrs. Bashford was not injured in the least, while her husband sustained few slight cuts and sprained wrist. Both scrambled up the banks unassisted.
 ''That both MT. and Mrs. Bashford were not killed is the wonder of those who witnessed the accident. She had reached into the tenneau for a coat, and, having some difficulty in finding the armhole, he let go of the wheel of the ear with one hand to assist her, just as the ear started to cross the bridge. It swerved like lightning and on reaching the edge of the bridge went on without the slightest diminu- tion in speed. It took the entire railing on that side of the bridge with it. It leaped into the air like a diver and with a graceful trajectory, plunged headfrst, landing with a sickening and jarring thud.
 MT. and Mrs. Bashford do not know exactly how they escaped injury, as they did. They were apparently tossed free of the ear before it struck the ground, and at the same time when it was near enough to the ground to give them a very short fall, and they fell clear of the machine.

 The deceased was a young and popu- lar man, coming to Prescott to reside recently from Mayer. He had been a resident of the county for the past twelve years, and followed mining principally after his arrival, later en- gazing in other pursuits. He bore a splendid name and his death will oeea- sion expressions of the deepest regret wherever he is known.

Copper Queen Investors Inspect Property on
 Agua Fria
Gratifying Results From Recent Development
 Established

Combining business with pleasure the visiting shareholders of the Cop per Queen Gold Mining Company, have concluded their trip to this sec ten and returned to their homes in Texas and other states, enthusiastic over their holdings and pleased with their outing. Arriving over one week ago, they have been on the "go" from morn to night. The an nual meeting occupied the first day of their sojourn, a three days trip to the camp on the Agua Fria gave them a refreshing and satisfactory insight into the bonanza holdings, while side trips to the Commercial in Copper Basin and the final leap to the great United Verde at Je- rome closed an eventful and pleas ing journey from the lone star state. It is very seldom trat such a repre- sentative body of practical men has been in this section in recent years as can be said of this delegation All are matured with years in their re- spective commercial and manufac- turing pursuits, and in adopting mining for a side issue, 1t is but reasonable to state that each spoke for the other and all were a unit in expressing themselves as more than satisfied with the showing made on the Queen and sanguine over its future. To use the language of MT. Bettes, who spoke for his associates, all of whom acquiesced, the Copper Queen situation may be summarized as follows:
 "We found everything in the fin est condition at the works, and we are more than pleased with the management of Mir Goldman, the president. The property has not only been handled in a practical manner, but every dollar has been judiciously expended. The finest grade of ore and the greatest body determined in the history of devel- opment is in evidence, and the pur- pose Is to rush the work more en- ergetically than heretofore. The property speaks for itself, and we are elated at being identified with the proposition"
 At the annual meeting held in the parlors of the St. Michael, the fol- lowing board of directors were elected for the ensuing year: H. s. Bettes, William Frank, R. F. Scott, Louis and Abe Goldman, l. K. By waters, and J H. Gooch Later this body convened, and chose officers as follows: Louis Goldman, president; William Frank, secretary, and Abe

 James R. Lowry, general manager of Ruffner's freighting line, and Tim Kirwin, head blacksmith, were arrivals from Skull Valley yester- day. and report the heavy rains as interfering with the hauling of Com mercial ore to the railroad for the past two days.
 Running on Time.
 George Davis, of Davis brothers, who recently established an auto mobile mail line between Dewey and Camp Verde, was in the city yester- day and reports the new method of travelling as a success although the roads are heavy between the two points. The passenger car is also in service and proves a decided con venience to travellers.
 On the Warpath.
