NATURE PROVIDES NOVEL
SAFETY DEPOSIT
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Mrs. Morse Darnall, of Hillside,
brought her six-year-old son to the
city yesterday to submit to medical
treatment for an i'll that seldom
afflicts the human-the swallowing of
a silver coin, and the recurrent dis
tress from harboring the metallic
disturber
The boy it is reported started to
save up his Accommodations, and get
tong a twenty-five cent coin be-
tween his teeth, accidentally swal-
lowed it. Home made emetics fail
ed to dislodge the stranger, hence
physician took a hand in the
game of restoring this youth to
his natural condition. An X-Ray
fash proved solacing, and the pho
Geographic procedure revealed where
the depre ciated currency was at
home. The negative distinctly
shows where the treasure is lodged,
and young Darnall is in no danger
whatever. Probably slight opera
ton may be necessary to remove
the coin and in the meantime the
youth feels some chagrin in carry
ing around an asset that is not
negotiable, and also is piqued that
silver has dropped to Is cents an
ounce and his Is cent piece is not
worth worrying over for its intrin-
sic value at the present time. Its
cipch I'll never be broke as long
as that thing stays there" he says.

TRAIN TO NELSON
MINES THIS MONTH
(From Thursdays Daily.D

(From Thursdays DailyD
Geo. p. Harrington, who is in the
city from the Nelson mines near
Crown King. states that before the
first of September the first train of
cars will be running in and out OF
the camp.
The track is laid to within 1000
feet of its terminus. and will be
ready this week. The motor cars
are due to arrive in this city not
later than Saturday next, and few
days only should be required to
start operations.
Mr.. Harrington is quite optimis-
tic over mine development. The
main or lower tunnel has reached a
distance of over 1900 feet, and ore
conditions are gratifying. The OBJ
Jective point of the tunnel is 5000
feet distant to penetrate ore bodies
determined under the original shaft
sunk, from which development the
exposing of large and rich ore
bodies warranted the present line
of large operations.
With the railroad running and
the rushing of tunnel and other ex-
ploration, the type Of a reduction
plant will next receive consideration.
At any rate the Nelson is assum-
ing very much importance, and min
ers cOnversant with the showing
predict big proposition of the
near future.

TOP NOTCH PRICE
BROUGHT BY CATTLE
(From Thursdays Daily.)

(From Thursdays Daily.)
KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS
Aug. l0-Cattle closed last week
at the highest point of the year,
having regained all the losses of
the first of the week, and more,
stock cattle and feeders included.
The supply today is 1900 head,
and sales are strong to IS higher.
All the markets are lightly sup
piled, and real beef scarcity is be-
ing uncovered. New high prices
were realized on various grades of
cattle today, prime Missouri fed
branded westerns selling at the top,
Sl0.25, and other sales at SOLO and
S10.15. Wintered cattle from Green
wood county, Kansas, sold up to
$40, highest this season, and cat
tie wintered on wheat fields in ives
tern Kansas. and grazed in the
flint hills sold at So to sos. The
top steers today weighed 1850 lbs.
average, and steers with weight are
the best sellers, as packers want
beef. In the quarantine division 81
carloads arrived and sold actively
at strong to 10 higher prices. Top
was 800 and bulk of the cattle
were middle class Oklahoma grass
49, a. c6IS - e. %
Shipments of stockers and feed
ers to the country last week were
$500 head as compared with 1900
head same week last August, when
drouth cattle were running. The
impression exists among buyers that
present prices are as low as they
will be this year. stock steers large
ly at SOS to a.75. feeders s. to
SIS, a few choice stockerS and
some high grade fleshy feeders at
So and little more.
The hog market presents no re-
liable basis on which buyers in the
country can make purchases. Prices
were sharply higher after Thursday
last week, and the market is So
cents higher today than Saturday.
Packers participated in the scrim-
mage for the meager supply of 2
600 head today, paying $3.50 for
hogs while order buyers paid $500
to 1915 for the pick of the re-
ceipts. The top price of $o75 to-
day was the highest price paid
since September, 1910, the record
price of Sl0o5 for hogs having been
paid in March of that year. Fairly
liberal receipts might upset the
market, although packers are need
ing hogs badly, as they were not
able to get more than a handful
after Wednesday last week.
Sheep and lambs are Is higher
today, following good gains last
week after Tuesday. The supply
today is 100 head, all natives. Fair
native lambs brought $40 today,
a very good price in view of the
fact that top on natives in Chicago
today is $S.25. Good western lambs
would bring $3.50 or more. Idaho
wethers sold here Friday at $5.75,
yearlings SOS, fat ewes S5.35, feed
ing ewes. S5.75. and these prices
could be duplicated today. Feed
ing lambs are scarce, and are worth
around SOS, choice westerns pos
sibly 81.

STATE TAX RATE
FOR 19l4-15 IS AS
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Announcement was yesterday
made by the State Tax Commission
that the State tax rate this year
would be AS, decrease of FIVE
cents over that of last year. The
rate fixed by the commission tol-
lowing its session as State Board
of Equalization and the State Tax
Conference during which the valu-
atoms of the State were equalized.
In 1918 the tax rate fixed was
.4o5 on 500 OF taxable property.
The decrease in rate this year IS
due to the higher assessment rolls
coupled with the elimination of a
number of State improvements re-
quiring enormous levies.
However, it is not likely that
property owners in Yavapai Coun-
ty will be affected to any substan-
tial extent by the decrease in the
State rate. The budget prepared
by the county board of supervisors
for the running expenses OF next
year shows a healthy increase and
it is conceded more than likely that
the jump in the county figure will
more than counter-balance the State
decrease.
The county's rate in 1913 was sos
making a fiat rate of 81 to be col
lected by the treasurer's OF
fce for the State and county taxes
combined. 1t is believed that the
county fathers will name a rate
which will permit the same figure
to rule this year.
The board of supervisors will
meet in session Monday at which
time the rate will be fixed.
The city council will name the
rate for the city taxes next We'd
nesday. 1t is believed that the rate
will remain the same as that OF last
year, 81. This means that all dis
tricts not having special school taxes
to meet, will have to pay a tax OF
81 per 500 upon their property.
The details of the state rate are
