tween trains, en- route home TO

SAW BLACK DEER NEAR
GRANITE MOUNTAIN

Fitzhugh Lee, OF Mint valley, was
in the city yesterday. and stated
that while he was out hunting a few
miles to the north of Ramsgate sta
ton during the week. he ran onto a
black deer, getting to within sixty
yards OF where it was grazing, and
his curiosity only prevented him
from killing it. He states the crea-
ture was OF size to indicate from
three to four years of age, and was
black as jet. Its Sex he was unable
TO learn, in fact, he says. Il was
surprised and above all things did
not desire to shoot; it did not ap-
pear alarmed in the least. and look
ed at me intcntly for a few moments
then trotted away at a leisurely
gait. 1t was lost to sight in the
rocks, making few jumps behind
bouhers." This animal freak is in
contrast in colCr to that OF the white
buck killed few years ago in Cop
per Basin by J. J. jackson, and in
its mounted state can be seen at the
Palace hotel, where it still attracts
as well as comment
among those versed in animal life.
This deer at certain times OF the
year was lilly white, but when slain
was changing in hue, TO light
cream. Lee has recovered from the
shock, and will again take to that
region, and if it is a buck, will at
tempt to hunt it down; if it is a doe
he will respect the law applying to
the deer.

BIG FIGHT ON IN
COUNTY OF CHA
(From Fridays Daily.)


A. c. Pearson, OF Phoenix, is in
Prescott in the interests of the for
nation of Miami county from a part
of ella, a measure which is among
the initiated propositions on the bal
lot to be voted on at the coming
election. He says he has been in
most every county of the state, his
| purpose being to give the facts and
| figures furnished by the Miami
County League, which, of course, he
declares prove that the movement is
just and for the best interests of
the greatest number OF people who
are directly concerned. He was to
have addressed the audience at the
Elks' theatre last night, explaining
the slides which are being run there
in favor OF the proposed new county,
but the appearance of the singers
there prevented Slides against the
proposition are also being run at
this theatre. The fight is a warm
one and both sides have men can
wasting the state.
The anti-divisionists claim that the
new county would take from ella
the greatest portion of its taxable
wealth and give little in return, plac-
ing two county seats within FIVE
miles OF each other and causing the
added expense of maintaining two
counties and all the official accout-
rements commensurate with the or
ganization OF such political division
thereby burdening the taxpayers to
an unbearable and unreasonable de-
gree. while those favoring the di-
vision say that there is a court house
ring in perpetual power at Globe
which ignores thewelfare OF the peo-
pie of the proposed new county and
fails to give them an adequate re-
turn for the money they pay in
taxes to the county treasury. Ow-
ing to the fact that the law which
was passed by the legislature last
winter providing that in matters of
county division only the people who
would be affected are permitted to
vote, did not become effective in
time to thus submit this question at
the November election those favor
ing the measure initiated a division |
upon which the people |
OF the entire state are to vote. The |
of such a statewide vote |
was attacked in the superior court |
of Maricopa county, Judge Smith, OF /
Prescott, presiding, and the decision |
was that the measure should go on
the ballot the same as other initia-
tive propositions. which decision was
sustained by the supreme court on ap-
peal two or three weeks ago.
As a rule the people of the state
arc not posted as to the many intri-
cate questions which enter into the
question. The proposed new county
would have Miami for its county
seat, and the Miami townsite is own
ed by Clcvc w. Van Dyke, who is
at the head of the Miami County
League.

table exhibit being so far in advance
OF any other that the judges placed
IT first practically the moment they
! observed it.
The congress this year was the
fourth ever held and was far su-
perlor to any previous one. To give
an idea of the size of the enter
1 prise, 1t might be stated that the
whole show was under one roof. in
a steam-heated building that covered
eight acres of space practically in
the heart OF the city OF Wichita
Special excursion trains were run to
the city for hundreds of miles in
all directions. and the city was con-
gested with the greatest crowds of
visitors ever assembled there. the to-
tai number OF paid admissions being
l25,CO0. Prof McOmie said that
the total expenses Of the affair were
liquidatod by 7S0C0 of these admis-
sions, and that the amount netted
to the congress for use in further
expansion for the future, taking into
account concessions. etc, will not
fall short of $4,000.
Those familiar with the Arizona
end OF the enterprise will remem-
Der that 1t was originated entirely
by Prof. McOmie and Malcolm
Fraser. present secretary of the
Prescott Chamber of Commerce. and
that they were unable to secure any
but the three counties named, fact
which makes the accomplishment
really marvellous. During the ten
days session many thousands of
and other pieces of litera-
turc ADVERTISING the agricultural. .
horticultural and mineral resources
of the state. were distributed among
the thousands of interested people
who attended. and Prof. McOmie .
was positive in his declaration that .
Arizona received more advertising of
real value than it has ever had be-
fore.
He said that the Santa Fe rail
road company deserves great credit
TOR the interest it took, furnishing a
lrst class baggage car in which the
Arizona products were transported
and leaving the car at the disposition
Of the committee until the end of

was advised that winter ryeseed OF
several' thousand pounds. was en-

definite was given out when work
would be resumed on the storage

weather conditions are now favor
