MINERAL OUTPIr~ OF
COUNTY FOR TAXATION
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Assessor T. E. Campbell has re-
ceived and compiled for taxation
for the current year the gross and
net production of the following
mines in this county, as returned
by owners and corporations:
The statement of the United Yer
de shows the following resume, and
is a decided increase over that of
the year previous. the gross output
being S6,205,6S3.S7, as against S.
762,677.So for 1912. The net value
is given at $3,46l ,241.Ss. Copper
produced in 1918 was 35,334,694
pounds, with a valuation of $685.
254.45. Gold reached to S427, 124SS,
and silver $3S3,30456. The total as
sessable value of the property on
its mineral basis was fixed at the
sum of $14,62O,67S.O0.
The Commercial Mining Com
pany returned copper product of
Sl6.71.42. gold S1321S, and silver,
S2o4O.60. This showing is account
ed for by the fact of development
being prosecuted during the greater
portion of the year.
The Swastika Development Com
pany returned a silver output Of
So, 566.l8. and gold of S335.27.
The Blue Bell. Yavapai Consoli-
dated, Lawler & Wells, and score
OF other properties did not submit
returns for 1918, owing to large
development conducted, and no pro-
ton maintained. During the year,
however, larger tonnage was ship
ped out than formerly. but under
the system of taxation adopted, the
valuations could not be assessed,
giving only small margin of pro-
fit, if any. From the number of
active camps in the county at the
present, and the probable increase
in production to be expected, it is
believed that this county will show
a healthy condition OF its principal
industry for 1914.

MARICOPA OUT
OF RUNNING
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
Interesting is the news coming
from Phoenix to the effect that Ma
ricopa will not compete against the
other counties of Arizona at the
coming State fair and resources ex-
position.
Having the largest agricultural
section Of any county, Maricopa has
always entered the field with a
strong handicap in her favor. Last
year, Maricopa was so far in the
lead that no other county. not even
Yavapai, which finished second,
could have been caught sight Of
with a telescope" Instead of en-
tering into an uneven competition,
Maricopa will be divided into a
number of subdivisions which will
compete for 4 county prize. The
other counties of the State will COM
pete for the State prize.
This news should prove of special
interest to Yavapai county which
until last year, ran neck and neck
race with Maricopa. 1t is general
ly conceded thar Yavapai will be
the county to benefit most by the
new ruling.

PRESCOTT LADS HAVE (
FORMED CORN CLUB
(From Saturdays Daiiy.J


Prescotts Corn Club was orga-
nized yesterday with an initial men,
bership of 6 boys and several more
members to be heard from. Each
boy in attendance had heard about
corn clubs and they wanted a
chance at some of the prizes that
had been offered.
AS soon as the general purposes
of the club had been explained by
A. H. Powers, the boys elected
Miley Dening of Granite Dells as
president and Robert Vincent of
Miller valley as secretary. A sim
pie constitution and bylaws was
adopted. L. L. Bates, the expert
from the Experimental Dry Farm,
then entered into an explanation of
the necessary preparation of the
land and the kind of corn and sor-
ghum that could be planted to the
best advantage. A general discus
sion evolved the fact that each boy
had made up his mind to tackle a
different kind of grain. AS a result
the Prescott Corn Club will very
probably present one of the most
valuable object lessons possible of
what can be expected in the matter
of corn and sorghum culture in the
vicinity of Prescott.
The second meeting of the club
will be held next Friday afternoon
at 3 o'clock. At this meeting any
additional members desiring to en-
ter the competitions will be receiv-
ed. Any boy or girl between the
ages of 10 and Is is eligible for
membership. They need not be at
tending school at the present time.
If they can not get an acre of land
but can get the use of a horse and
the necessary implements the land
can be secured for them so that
they can raise their corn on some
neighbours property.
AT the present the membership
consists of Miley Deming, Robert
Vincent, Robin Ahlrich, Ed. Ham
bin and Clyde Deming. Mr.. Bates
informed the boys that the two sons
Of John Bianconi would join their
club at the next meeting. Any boy
Or girl desiring further information
in regard to the Corn Club can Sc
cure the same by applying at the
Chamber of Commerce.
A second Corn Club is to be or
yanized this afternoon at 3 o'clock
1t the Miller Valley school house
with the assistance of Mrs E. G.
We'll, clerk of the school board.

FUND OF $126.50 IS RAISED
IN AN HOUR; FAMILY
TO BE GIVEN FINANCIAL
AID
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


Every man and woman who con-
tributed one or more dollars to the
fund solicited yesterday for the pur-
pose of giving a Christian burial tc
little Sarah Whaley is a better man
and better woman for having
done so.
The news article in Tuesdays
Journal Miner telling of the acct
dent touched many heart, not be-
cause of the way the article was
written, but Dy reason of the many
pathetic features surrounding the
case. The details of the tragedy
are known to the public. A small
boy was at play with an old dis
carded 22-rifle which he loaded with
a cartridge. To insure the gun dis
charging he used a hammer. In
front of the weapon stood his O.
year-old sister and into her body
ploughed the fatal bullet. The dis
tracted mother ran for four miles to
summon aid, but in spite of all that
medical science could do at Hum
boldt and after bringing the child
to the hospital here, the little one
answered the call of her Maker and
her soul took its flight to realms
supernaL
The broken-hearted mother was
here without funds. The father, af-
ter months of enforced idleness, had
just secured a job at 81 a day at
Clarkdale. Prescott was told the
story yesterday morning through
the columns of the Journal Miner.
No sooner had one big-hearted wo-
man read it than she FASTENED to
the side of her stricken sister with
clothes. What would this world be
without the mothers, God bless
them and the men of big hearts
and generous impulses? A canvass
OF the business section was made in
the afternoon and in little more
than an hours time the sum OF
Sll6.50 was raised. Raised" is hard
ly the right word for not one man
was approached but that gave free
ly, accompanied by the remark: "If
you need more call on me-" A meet
ing of the Royal Arch was invaded,
the circumstances explained, and in
one minute a motion had been made
and carried unanimously that the
lodge donate $50. Last night the
president of the Bartender's Union
walked into the Journal-Aliner Of
flee and said the white-aproned boys
wanted to contribute their mite. He
left check for $40, which swelled
the fund to Sl26.50. During the af-
ternoon Goldwater's store generous
ly provided beautiful clothes for the
still. little form that rests under
canopy in Ruffner's mortuary parlor.
Lester Ruffner volunteered his SER
vices free.
The funeral will take place tomor-
row afternoon at an hour yet to be
announced. The four little brothers

afternoon and after the rites are ov-

Precautions Against
the Rats.

State Health Officer J. Y Porter has
issued the following letter to the mum
fcfpal authorities of Florida:
Dear Sirs: While the plague situation
in New Orleans Is not alarming, yet
the conditions resulting from finding
of human and rat cases widely dis
trfbuted over the city, are sufficiently
serious to warrant the executive Off
Ger Of the state board of health, in tax =
ing all practicable precautions to safe
guard the citizens of Florida against
the Introduction Of the plague infec-
ton. Accordingly. under AUTHORITY
conferred by the statutes. the bring
ing OF freight cars into the state from
New Orleans, either wholly or partial
ly loaded with freight which has not
been inspected and passed and sealed
by the United States public health
service, now IN charge of plague Grad
tcation measures in New Orleans, Is
forbidden.
Florida Is hereby requested and re-
auired to take cognizance of such cars
coming to his city of town and to
carefully observe whether the govern
ment seals have been tempered with
and when without seals, or with
broken seals. to have freight examined
for rats. before delivery by the rail-
road company.
This is good advice and every mayor
in Florida should act upon 1t. One in
fected rat in a freight car from New
Orleans could start the plague In any
city or village in Florida, and the
greatest precautions should be taken
to see that no rats reach this city
from that or any other point.

there are qualified voters in the city

missioners, two of whom are to be
candidates in the election, favor going
into an election with all of these
fraudulent entries on the registration
books. It is clearly a part of the COM
