the Little Jesse and many other
well known properties.
( Mohave county has section all 10
itself, in which appears some ore
which is credit to the many prop
critics in the rich mining sections OF
that county.
c. A. Benin, of Groom Creek, and
John Curran, are among the men
who believe in letting the world
know of the riches in the northern
Arizona hills. Curran has some fine
! specimens of gold-silver-copper ore,
combination of values which
would make the eyes OF any
mining man bulge with joy This
ore, as we'll as an exhibit by ]. n
Duncan, comes from the Walker dis
trict:: long famous in this section of
Arizona for its rich mineral products.

properties owned by that company.
copper. gold and silver, and Ed.
Block has on display a large sack OF
free milling gold ore and some stone
which contains twenty-five per cent
aluminium, which will attract much
attention.
In one section is an exhibit owned
by H. H. Keys, taken from the
Yellow Jacket and Emporia mines,
which is second to none in the
tent. Some of this ore is labeled
SIS gold, five ounces silver and a
good percentage in copper.
The Storm Cloud Mining COM
pany displays copper valued at IF
teen per cent and containing gold
worth 81 per ton.
Near the entrance OF the tent is a
large shawcase, and today it will con-
tain several thousand dollars worth
of gold and silver nuggets from
various sources, all OF which how
ever, have been found in this sec
ton of Arizona. The exhibit was
far from complete when the data
for this article was obtained, and by
today there will be double the num-
Der of displays mentioned here.
Agricultural and Horticultural.
The displays here were so incom-
plete yesterday that it was impossi
bic to gain an adequate idea OF the
extent. Fact is, William Stevens and
his score of helpers were so far
from being done arranging the cx-
hibit that it was thought yesterday
they would have TO work nearly al
night to finish. This department is
going to be a real revelation to the
most skeptical with reference to the
adaptability of Arizona to the pro-
ducts displayed. No country on
earth can put up better display of
apples. and there are all other kinds
OF fruit nameablc, including the fin
est pears, plums, apricots, grapes,
etc. that could be raised on earth. F.
And talk about farm products-well, !
this display, even half finished, needs
to be seen to be appreciated. There /
are dry farm products there that
would put to shame some OF the I
eastern countries. in wheat, corn.
milo maize, barley. squashes, pump
kins. and all other kinds OF grain or
garden truck raised anywhere And
among it is 4 display OF honey.
Over halt OF the building is taken
by Yavapai county, and the fruit dis
play comes mostly from the Verde
valley. On one side large sec
ton is reserved for Navajo county
and the products Tor this arrived
yesterday, being fine and complete.
1t is not expected that the other
counties interested in the fair will
have horticultural or agricultural
exhibits.
Most Unique of All.
Ono OF the most interesting cxhib-
its in this building IS that from Red
Rock, for which Eugene NJ Barron
stands soul sponsor. 1t is displayed
beneath festoon CT colors in bunt-
ing. and IS so artistically arranged
as to attract the attention OF all
persons the moment they enter the
building. Here are shown thirty
different varieties OF apples, four
dozen bottles of native wine, pop
corn, peanuts, cabbage, oceans OF
preserves, and many other products.
Arranged on an inclined table at the
rear OF the booth are the words
