SAYS AZTEC SQUASH
 IS WONDER OF THE AGE
[From Fridays Dai!r.(

A squash, grown from seed hun
 dreds, and perhaps a thousand years
 old, is on exhibition in the agricul-
 tural pavilion at the fair It has been
 named "the Aztec the seed from
 which it was grown being discovered
 in an ancient ruin of that tribe near Camp Verde by John c. Allen. A dozen seeds were planted but only one came up.
 Evan A. Bonham, the chicken raiser
 of Cherry in discussing "the Aztec"
 squash yesterday said:
 About two years ago MT. Jones was fishing near these ruins. He con cluded to see if he could not find some pottery. He went into one of the large caverns, or rooms and saw place in the wall that looked like it had been at some time bradished Up He broke the wall at this place and found a small recess or room. In this room among some pottery. corn cobs, and other rubbish he found about dozen seed that resembled squash seed. The room was sealed so tightly that not even a mouse could get in to eat the seed.
 Tt was too late to plant the seed last year so he planted them early this year. They ate the smaller squash a few days ago and pro nounced 1t very fine. The one on ex- hibition weighs twenty-five pounds. Its deep green color and warty ap- pearance interspersed with purple and deep red spots, makes it to my mind the wonder of the age; at least it is unlike anything have ever seen. l have attended two worlds fairs, many State and county fairs, and ag- ricultural shows, almost from Maine 10 California, and I have never seen anything like it. Just to think of these seeds laying in this room for hundreds and perhaps thousands of years, and now being planted and bearing fruit
 Cherry is noted for many things, ut the raising of these squash from his seed is the most interesting of II. Mir. Allen prizes the squash very ighly and l am intrusting it to the 'air Association, and he expects it o be returned to him after the fair in s good condition as it is now"

HIGH GRADE ORE
 STRUCK IN THE PROMOTER
(From Fridays Daily.)

Withholding information for some time of the remarkable showing that had been made in the Promoter mine of Crook canyon, B. F. Peters, one of the owners with C. E. Warren, Wednesday exhibited samples of free gold ore that attracted very much interest, and which he stated, could be substantiated in exploration quiet ly carried out this summer in the ac- emulation of over 100 tons.
 The ore was developed in a tunnel of about lSO feet in length and the average values of the 18-inch vein are conservatively given at $50 per ton. Mir. Peters, however, says, there are seven sacks of assorted ore from rich streaks that assay over 5000 to the ton, and this product is being held at the camp. The tonnage ready for blocking, and the showing made in winze being sunk in the tunnel warrants a reduction plant, and the owners will install 1t at once. IL will be a standard hve-stamp mill to handle the free milling ores, which will reach to over 400 tons from measurements taken before stamps are ready to drop.
 Mir. Warren revived this property after he retired from the Juanita early in the present year, and while reports were circulated by miners of strike taking place, this news was not corroborated until the .rrived "Wednesday from the camp of MT. Peters.

CHOSEN OF GOD, SAYS
 CHERRY CREEK GIRL
(From Fridays Daily.)


 Bertha Smith, formerly of Pres colt and daughter of the late J. H. B. Smith of Cherry creek, has filed a very unique petition in the Superior court of Maricopa county, asking that her name be changed from Bertha Smith to Bride Elect. Miss Smith who lived on Cherry creek and in Prescott about eight years ago and whose father died over Is years ago out on Cherry creek, believes that if the court approves the action, the new name, which she asks because Of vision she could not overcome, and which signifies Chosen of God, will be a great asset in her evangel- istic work
 Her mother, she claims, always wanted her to take up some line of Christian endeavor.
 My mother prayed for me for four years before 1 came into the world" :" she said as she calmly discussed the matter at her home. 37O North First avenue, Phoenix. "She gave me to God and the money she left me is going to be devoted to promoting Christianity. She would have want ed it"
 Miss Smith declares she is not changing her name of her own ac- cord. q fought against a vision for seven years but when I was com manded to become known as Bride Elect, l knew I must make the ef- fort. l hope I will not be subjected to ridicule nor censored I know there will be many who will feel jealous because I have taken the name but it would please me if the whole world was full of Bride Elects. I have not selected it as a matter of position in life, to be Gods Chosen Lady becadse have tried to get away from the spirit that prompted it."
 Miss Smith believes she is we'll fitted to take up the upbuilding of humanity. She received her training in New York where she took course in the White Bible Training Class. Her work will be largely lectures and may be carried on in this State. She expects to shortly hold conference with the various churches to see which offers the best opportunity for her work.
 Tt does not matter which church it is," she said, "it is all in the interests of Christianity"
 Miss Smith has had vision of an International Temple. She will have an architect draw the plans, she says.
 My duty will be to get the public Then I will raise funds.
 She is not at all sure where the temple is to be located, possibly in Arizona.

BIG OPERATIONS TO
 START ON TIPTOP
(From Thursdays 'Oailv.)

| A. F. Muter, who, with associates,
 purchased the old Tiptop silver mines
 last week, is to begin active opera
 tions at once, and is equipped with sufficient capital to carry out large
 line of reduction, as well as explora-
 ton.
 The first movement will be to in stall special process to treat the
 huge dump that accumulated over a
 quarter of a century ago and is very
 valuable for its wolframite product
 Flotation, concentrating and cyanid-
 ing will be the process introduced, of which this operator is confident of
 making a success in recovery of sil- yer as well as tungsten values. Sep arate treatments will be given for
 each metal, and the residue Is to be handled by Notation.
 Before the deal was closed by MT. Muter. he consulted with Knapp Wal terman over underground conditions of the Tiptop when the latter was foreman during its active career, in the sos and the ore measurements given, show some astounding valua- tions to be derived from wolframite. Computing the development perform ed in early days as showing an ore shoot of 600 feet in length and 800 feet in depth carrying wolframite that was not mined to any extent, the val nations undisturbed and remaining i'll the old workings will run into the millions of dcilars. If a one-inch streak remains at present market prices these workings will yield the handsome sum of $l2OOO,OOO, and so on as the ore body widens. It is be- lieved that this mineral condition will be proved to be far more extensive, however, than the above estimate, this being based on Walterman's knowledge of underground conditions when he was in charge. The dump in itself, however, is of such vast ton mage as to run into the millions in tungsten, and will assay over $19 per ton in silver.
 Mr. Muter leaves today for his camp. He has secured the services of w. w. Elliott, as consulting en- gineer. It is also probable that Mir Waterman will again assume charge of mine work at the old camp after an absence of over a quarter of century. The company in charge is a close one, and no stock whatever is on the market. This transaction is more attention and creat- ing more comment than any mining deal in this field ill many years, from the immense values carried in the old ! dump and in the mine of a wolframite | character since this metal has assum- ed in recent months such a high . standard Of value due to the heavy . demand from manufacturing concerns in this country as well as from abroad. It was stated yesterday that foreign mining men had arrived in Prescott and made fiat offer to MT. Muter for the property of large sum, which was rejected.

THE CITY SEWER CASE.
Officials and Others, Much Pleased
With Its Ending.

City officials and those connected
with the defense of the damage suit
against the city of Oskaloosa brought
by David E. Morgan, are finding con-
siderable satisfaction in the termina-
ton of the case which was withdrawn
by plaintiff.
Mr.. Morgan owns a farm southwest
of town through which flows the
creek into which the effiuent from the
septic tank south of town empties.
Although somewhat remote from the
location of the tank, Mr. Morgan set
forth tho claim that his property had
been damaged in the sum of $S,490.9 90.
The case occupied considerable time
in its trial and numerous witnesses
for both plaintiff and defendant were
examined.
Plaintiff set forth the claim that he
had operated a dairy and that his
business had been ruined by the cat
tie drinking of the water of the creek.
Defense in the suit was handled by
City Solicitor H. B: Mccoy and John
N Mccoy. They brought profession.
al men and experts to the stand to
show that conditions claimed by the
plaintiff were impossible and others
to show that conditions claimed did
not exist in fact The case dwindled
until the defense was warranted in
making motion to direct verdict.
An analysis of the water of the
creek in question showed so small a
per cent of pollution that injury to
stock would, in the opinion of veter,
inarians and physicians have been
impossible. They stated that the per
cent of impurities was so small that
it became a question whether or not
they could come from the septic tank.
The amount of impurity disclosed in
analysis was indeed so small that it
might have been present in the water
of any similar stream draining from
any barn yard or land where there
might exist refuse from stock or the
waste from a house.
1t would appear from the above
that the city Is at last to have an end
OF the complaints and suits that have
come from the septic tank creek.

TEACH SAVINGS PLAN
Children of Clinton Schools Have
Put Away 81 400.

In the Clinton schools the children
are being interested in the school
savings plan. Since last fall the pu-
pills have saved more than S1,4O0. 1t
is altogether a good thing. The child
of our days with numberless oppor-
tunities for spending dime every
time it gets hold of penny, will need
to be taught the by no means simple
act of saving. Commenting on the
plan the Burlington Hawk-Eye says:
/ "A former generation had little. OPP
jpOrtunity for spending money and
had no money to spend 1t was not
necessary to talk of saving to them.
They could do nothing else, if they
expected to live and to get on. But
in these prosperous twentieth cen.
fury days, it is really an urgent need
that the children be taught to hang
on to money. Clinton pupils who are
making beginning now, will no
doubt have something worth while
laid up against the rainy day, or when
the time comes, that they are COM
PEELED to retire from active employ
ment. And after all it is but very
brief step from the school house and
the school days, to the time when
| younger and more active men are Civ
en- the preference and the older man
must retire, if not from choice, then
because there is no more opportunity
for him, no chance to keep busy"
