PLACER PROJECT WILL
 SOON BE ACTIVE
(From Sundays Daily.)

After devoting several days to making an investigation of the placer proposition in which he is interested, President C. w. Tal- bolt, of the Lynx Creek Gold Min ing Company, returned to Kansas City on Thursday night to perfect plans to begin operations in short time. He is pleased over the pos abilities of the undertaking, and stated there is no doubt whatever but what the values carried arc at tractive, the only question that now faces a successful recovery being the method of handling the ground.
 One of the factors of the new or ganization will be O. O. Smith, who was the first to go on the ground and make examinations which lead to the culmination of the movement now under hcadway to operate on a large scale.
 With the new company will be B. T. Spencer, wealthy citizen of Kansas City, who, with Mir. Talbott, will arrive early in October to look over the property. Mir. Talbott also stated that he will make Prescott his future home, and next year will bring his wife and family here to reside.
 Aside from the possibilities of mining in this section he is en- thusiastic over the climate and the country generally.

HAVE NEW WAY FOR DIVIDING
 ESTATE
FRANK HATFIELD TRIES TO RUN PARTITION THROUGH CENTER OF THE BUILDING
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Judge Smith yesterday granted a
 temporary injunction against T. H
 Schooley against Frank Mayfeld
 preventing the latter from further partitioning, or fencing, or other wise meddling with property con- ditions with reference to town prop crty owned by the two men as partners, including a building, divid- ing their holdings only by a parti- ton.
 The hearing was held at four o'clock in the afternoon and de veloped many amusing features Ac- cording to the plaintiff, Mayield had cut down a petition between his department of the house and that of the plaintiff, and threatened to do more work of a similar nature, and he appealed to the court to prevent what he termed in the peti- ton further damage to his prop erty.
 When in court the two men ex- changed some amusing remarks. i've been your slave for twenty years" shouted Mayheld, "and now I'm through" Schooley sat at the time in an unconcerned attitude with his feet stretched out on the bar. Let him talk" he murmured, ''he cant do me any harm.' Then, there was a lot of talk backward and forward concerning some one being a drunkard and all that, until the judge had finished the case and ordered the issuance of tenn porary restraining order.

NEW HORSE HARD
 ID RIDE
DOC PARDEE PRODUCES ANIMAL WHICH MAY
 GIVE ALL THE BOYS SOME GENUINE SPORT
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

A brand new bucking horse has
 been discovered by Doc Pardee.
 This cayusc is so small that he
 looks like a burro with his ears cropped, and no judge of horse flesh would pay burro prices for him, but Doc Pardee can sense the hidden charm in the equine better, probably, than any man in Yava- pal county.
 "Pee-wee" as Doc has named this steed, while he is not so gigantic and dangerous looking as Big Sid, Red Fox, nor even little John Can trell, has shown some class as a bucker. He made Shorty King bow to the spectators, lost John Ellis, and disposed of three second raters with unbelievable dispatch
 Upon Sabbath, last, Doctor" jno. Fenn, the beautiful blonde soda water "squirter" of the Brisley Drug Company, who boasts that he was a noted broncho buster in the wilds of Los Angeles, said that he would mount the hurricane deck of Pcewee at ? o'clock
 A large crowd was on hand to witness his "debacle." John was game, but he only had two hands and somehow the confounded sad dle horn got loose, the cantlc bump cd him in the solar plexus, the ground hit him in the eye, and some body down near the Ice Plant caught little loose mustang with 2 saddle on.
 Well, this same somebody thought fit to mount the insect, bareback. The story is short, two babies down in about twenty yards" Pee wee has decided to give his next exhibition at the Northern Arizona Fair, and if any wild Arizonan can "set him slick and straight up" he is to become the property of that and to be good ever af- ter. But in case he is able to dis pose of his pack every day at the Fair, Doc" has promised him to the Prescott Frontier Days Com mittee, to take the place of Black Jack who has got religious and re- fuses to buck any more

MYSTIC SHRINERS ARE

(From Sundays Daily.)

Mystic Shrine Scouts, Neill Bailey and F. P. Cruice, have returned from the rccesses of the Grand Can yon where they perfected arrange mcnts for holding the ceremonial session of that order on October and 6. This fraternal event is attracting keen interest in Masonic circles. Secrecy in the ceremony will be maintained at the point Bailey and Cruice selected, the depths of the awful gorge, near Fl Tovar. The place is weird, and yet it is fascinating, they say, and the awful stiffness will be broken only as the waters of the Colorado trickle by.
 That this big event is occasioning nationwide interest can be inferred from reports received. Frederick R. Smith, imperial Potentate, of Rochester, N. Y., with all of his official family, will be present. Sev- eral hundred Masons from all sec tions of the United States also have expressed their approval of the nov cl meeting place, while Arizona Shriners will be there nearly to man.

MAY COME ID PRESCOTT
 AGAIN
MANAGER TOM PERSONS IS INCLINED TO FAVOR PRESCOTT CATION FOR THE FUTURE
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

There IS a possibility that the
 Selig Polyscope Company will again
 send movie" company to become
 permanently located in Prescott
 Many merchants and professional
 men of the city have co-operated in
 a general effort to persuade Mir.
 Selig and his manager, Tom Persons,
 to continue this city as the head
 quarters for one of the main com
 panies.
 A Selig company was located here during 1913 and in the early part of 1914. An order from the Los Angeles headquarters resulted in its removal from this city. No very satisfactory reasons for this action were given to the public, however, at that time, but recent announce ment has it that the action was prompted by a peculiar" reason. MT. Sclig, who is himself former resident of Prescott, has often conceded Prescott to be one of the best spots in the world for making movies, because of its splendid at mospheric conditions and its SUI pcrior climate.
 The Selig Company played an i'm portant part in making of the first annual Northern Arizona Fair a splendid success. Headed by Will liam Duncan, the director and Tom Mix, one of the best cowboy per formers in the business, the troupe practically was in charge of the en- tertainment program. The snap and vim with which the program was executed not only placed feather in the cap of Arena Director Tom Mix, but showed the vast crowds that this feature Of the big event had been placed in capable hands.
 It was the desire of the fair man agcrs to have the same Sclig actors participate m thls year talr that led to the knowledge that Mir. Selig might be persuaded to again put Prescott upon his movie concern map.
 Tom Persons, manager of the | western division. was communicated l. with by the Chamber of Commerce and prominent local men. In re- plying to one letter, Mir. Persons intimated that there was a strong possibility of company being sent | here soon. He declared that Mir. ! Selig would be made conversant with all the facts upon his return from Paris.

drifted into heaps of ice all over town.
 The storm was peculiar one. In the distance, in all directions, could be seen clear sky, dented here and there by silvery cloud brightened in hue by the suns rays
 A large sign board on the Lawler lots in Cortez street was blown to the ground. The damage to roads in the wake of the storm must have been great All of the city streets were more or less damaged and the street department is facing a several weeks period of repair work as a result.
 Center of Storm Banning Creek.
 The center of the downpour seems to have been in the Banning Creek region, three miles to the south, where a cloudburst was reported The first wall of water seen in Granite creek was fully four feet high, and when at its highest ran from bank to bank to over five feet in depth. Miller creek, however, carried but small flow.
 Arrivals from the south on the train reported the rain as extending only to Iron Springs.
 Fire Department Deluged.
 What is said to have been a small sized cloudburst struck the rear of the fire department quarters and deluged the room where the appara- tus and horses were located, piling up debris and mud on the ground floor to depth of over eight inch es. The wooden sidewalk to the south of the building on Cortez street was washed into the center l of the street.
 August Redder, who reached the city at o'clock from the old Wilson mill, where he had been camping for the summer says his team stam- Deded, and both animals had close call from heinz caught in the big -ush of water when crossing the | creek near by.

The True Education; Its Purpose
(By Rev. Eustace Anderson.)

fruit, and this must continue not
 only for the sake of growth and
 fruitage, but to retain life. The
 leaves are a manifestation of life,
 but life is not dependent upon
 leaves.
 Around the trees, just under the
 bark, is a tiny band, neither wood
 nor bark; but when the growing
 season Is over it has become wood
 the largest circle of the tree. And
 these successive circles are each
 year folded nearer the heart of the
 tree. Thus is the strength of the
 tree made greater, but the life is
 in the sap-there is the mystery
 of the growth.
 This process is going on in all life. What men acquire becomes a part of themselves. In the home, in business, in society, in all the relationship of life this change is quietly taking place.
 We know more politeness than we usually manifest; the merchant knows higher standard of honesty than he sometimes practices in the absorbing moment of a sale; we know more tenderness than often we show in the trying hours of home life. When our capacities be- come a part of us-a principle of life-it will be impossible to forget.
 And all this in order that we may serve more perfectly our fellow man, and through this service. our own higher selves. Service is the ulti- mate apology for life, as fruit is for the tree. The greater the tree the greater the harvest; the greater the service the greater the life.
 We think of service as self abase- ment. This is not true. How can we serve if we have not power, and how can we have power except we rear as high as possible the fabric of our own being? Christ came to serve. For the Son of man came not to be served but to serve."
 The world has always gained from leaders, not followers. q am among you as he that serveth," and yet He was teacher and leader.
 "The aim and end of life is the complete and harmonious develop ment of man, individually, political ly, socially, religiously; each one devoting his constant and total ac- tivity to the welfare of his fellows in loving service" He that givcth even a cup of water in Christ's name, serves Him.
 And learning that does not have for its purpose, as its highest ideal, service, is not education. It is but an ornament, as are the leaves of the trees.
 We would do well to inspire our educators as well as our young peo- pie with the spirit of the Athenian's TOW of citizenship: "We will never bring disgrace to this our city Qife) by an act of dishonesty or cow ardice nor ever desert (be heed less of) our suffering comrades in the ranks. We will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city ,life), both alone and with many. We will obey and revere the city's (God's) laws and do our best to i'm cite a like respect and reverence in those about us who are prone to annul them and set them at naught. We will strive unceasingly to quick en the public's sense of civic (moraD iuty, that thus in all these ways we may transmit this city (genera- .ion), not only not less (worse). put greater, better, and more beauti- 'ul (with more Christian ideals) than t was transmitted to us.

REGISTRATIONS ID REACH 5000
 MARK

(From Thursdays DailyO
 If the rush on the first two days of the re-opening of the registration books IS to be taken as an indica- ton, there will be a surprising in crease in registration figures be- tween now and October Is. when the books close finally for the general election. At the county recorders office it was yesterday predicted that the total registration figures would be increased to the 6000 mark dur ing the coming month.
 If this prediction is verified on October Is. the initial prophecies of the political dopesters will have been completely shattered. In no corner, last summer, was it pre- dicted that the total registration figured would reach over the 5000 mark
