DESERT NUGGET
 IS ATTRACTING INTEREST
(From Saturdays Daily)

Ed. Shumate has received from his foreman, Charles Anderson, in the Plomosas placer field, gold nugget that weighs exactly SIP. A bottle of dust also accompanied the nugget.
 The washing out of the nugget Is a noteworthy occurrence for the req son that it is said to be the biggest ever known to be taken from that cement formation which lies along Cave creek. Ordinarily but fine gold is recovered and according to the letter written by Anderson, the mug get is looked upon as freak.
 Another interesting fact concern ing the product sent to this city is that all the gold was dry banned, the scarcity of water being the principal drawback to work by any other method.
 Anderson also writes that since the first of the year in carrying out line of prospecting on the tract, covering several hundred acres, he has banned out over $2OO, while others in the same belt also have made larger re coveries, in some instances reaching to over $7 per day to the man, under the most primitive methods of ope.- ating.
 The nugget in this city shows dis tinctly its relation to the cement for nation, small particles adhering to the same. The grade of the gold runs high, and was tested yesterday to nearly $l9 per ounce. Shumate and associates are to introduce special machinery to handle their ground by the dry process, probably installing a Stebbins concentrator. They are also considering plans to construct dam to conserve the summer rains that pass down Cave and other creeks. Reports from that section state several big concerns are coming in and there is every indication Of large operations following.

OSBORNE CLEARED OF
 CHARGE AT HEARING

PHOENIX, Feb. 12.-E. s. Os- borne, manager of the Zimbo-King Milling company of Parker, will not have to go back to Chicago to answer to a charge of alleged embezzlement, larceny and obtaining money under false pretenses.
 At hearing lasting less than one hour this morning in Gov. Hunt office, the chief executive refused to issue extradition papers for the well known Arizona man, and Grant Coan, a Chicago policeman here for Os- borne, will return to the east alone.
 Gov. Hunt and Assistant Attorney General Leslie Hardy agreed with Attorney George Stoneman, who rep resented Osborne at the hearing, that the indictment itself showed that Os- borne couldn't possibly be guilty of the charges.
 Both the governor and Hardy agreed that it was absolutely impos- sible for Osborne to be guilty of any thing charged and that it was not necessary to go any further than the indictment to show Osborne innocent of the charges.
 The indictment read that Osborne committed the alleged offenses in Chicago in October of last year. Let ters show that Osborne has not been in Chicago since June P of last year.
 Assistant Attorney General Hardy said that he was surprised that the Illinois officials would draw up such an indictment, and furthermore that he would write the district attorney of Cook county, Illinois, relative to his surprise in the matter.

BOMBARDMENT IS
 CONTINUOUS ON LINE
(From Sundays Daily.)


 Judge F. o. Smith has received an- other communication from Rev Father Rampont, the Catholic priest who went from Jerome to France to help his native country in the time of its distress. The letter teens with information which calls vividly to mind the horrors of one of the worst wars this old world has ever seen.
 Father Rampont is still stationed at the hospital at Verdon. France, or the greatest battle line ever formed in the history of the world. He writes that the main German lines are only eight miles distant from this station, which brings Verdon practi- cally in the fighting zone. According to his story the bomba-dment is prac- tically continuous. He says, however. that the fatalities are not so great as one would think because of the facr that both sides are fighting from trenches and practically living under ground night and day In and around Verdon there are about 2000 big siege guns on the French side alone in operation practically all the time Judging from the story told by Faith CT Rampont, as much between the lines as otherwise. people of this country little realize the awfulness of the situation in that country during the cold winter weather which pre- vails there.

CATTLE MARKET DIFFI-
 CULT TO FORECAST
(From Thursdays Daily.)
Special Correspondence)

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, Feb. Seattle trade showed some improvement late last week, except on stockers and feeders. which suf- fered severely from the Kansas sani- tary situation.
 The fact that the Kansas cases of foot and mouth disease seem to be safely confined within the qua-antin- ed district, and that only one new case has come to the surface. since the original outbreak, is tending to spread confidence. Shipments Of stocker and feeding cattle are now permitted to Kansas in. cases where the cattle can be traced as originating in clean territory, otherwise the quar- antine is strict. Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska receive stocke-s and feeders from here without restriction.
 The supply today is 5000 cattle, market steady to Is higher than last butcher grades, got the advance, buy CTS moving slowly when asking price was above $7.50. Some butcher heif- CTS sold at $7.05 and SIPS that were like heifers last week at % or less. Light weight short fed steers at $7 to $7.50 brought a little more than last weeks values. While the market was some improvement over last week, 1t was still a disappointment to most sellers. Runs were moderate at all points, but were composed largely of killing grades, both here and at Chi cago. The market situation changes so often. and is subject to so many active influences that commission men hesitate to give advice to shippers, al though their suggestions at the close last week favored staying off the market with cattle for the present, unless there were urgent reasons for selling.
 Hogs sold five to ten higher on the early market, to shippers. top S6.9O. Packers bids were steady, and bulk of sales ranged from $670 to $6.85. Cheap hogs are blamed for portion of the depression in cattle prices. but on the other hand, the good demand for pork. resulting from its cheap ness, makes outlet for more hogs at prevailing prices. Cold weather makes it possible for much hog killing to be done at home but that works in two ways, cutting down both supply and demand.
 Sheep and lambs are weak to ten lower today, receipts ,l4000 head. The market opened slow, with bids sharply lower, but actual sales show only the decline indicated, half a dog en lots of southern Colorado lambs, selling at $875. the top. Northern Colorado ewes brought $6,20, weigh. ing IA and 1l6 pounds, and some 89- pound northern Colorado lambs brought $845, good to choice year lings $7.5S, wethers $675. In spite of storms. the northern roads deliver ed their stock early today.

REDMAN RESUMES
 WITH SMALL FORCE
(From Saturdays Daily.)

VI ! OAAl Nei LII NS AoAAJ"J
 One of the encouraging signs oi mining in that section of Big Bug dis trict, nea- Humboldt, is the reviving of the Redman Stockholders Corpo- ration, which is being operated with a small force for the present.
 M. \. Andrews, the superintendent, who is in the city, stated yesterday that stoping from the l00-foot level is going ahead, and mill run will take place later. He also announces that inside of the next month the in teption is to establish a permanent camp, and to operate somewhat ex- tensively.
 This movement is due to the recent visit to Prescott of Mir. Whitman, one of the heaviest stockholders, who fo- very many years has been identified with this undertaking. The affairs of the company also have been under going a readjustment, and an amica- ble solution following, all that re- mains is to start up and carry out the line of deep development which un- derground conditions warrant. Pre- liminary to beginning mine work. all surface property has been repaired and repainted during the past few weeks, and the old camp again ap- pears spick and span.

ARIZONA STOCK
 INTERESTS GREAT
(From Saturdays Dally.O


 Did you know that Arizona has 118,0OO head of horses, 7,O00 mules, 44.OO0 milch COWS, 739OOO other cat tie, 1,761,0O sheep and 5000 hogs?
 These figures are taken from the livestock report for Arizona com piled by the United States weather bureau in cooperation with the de- partment of the interior, copies of which have reached Prescott.
 The report is quite detailed, giving the number of head of each variety of stock for the past five years and the value per head in Arizona and the whole of the nation.
 It is shown that Arizona horses average $70 each in value, while those of the United States in general average $l03 Mules are worth $l04 in Arizona, as against SIP for the nation.
 Milch cows in Arizona, according to this report, command better prices than the average for the country at large They are worth $74 per head, as against $55 in the nation, and the same Is true with reference to range cattle.
 Sheep are of less value in this state than the average for the country, the difference being one-half dollar per head, but Arizona hogs rise well above the general market price, bring ing SIP as against $9.87.
 The number of range cattle, accord ing to this report, has dropped since 1910 from 796,OOO to 791,OOO, while all other kinds of stock have increased during this period in Arizona.

PLANS CHANGED IN
 BUILDING BIG DAM
(From Saturdays Daily.)

(From saturday Dally.)
 The second large body of water striking the dam on Granite creek of the Hassayampa Alfalfa Farms Com- pany, on Thursday night and again submerging certain machinery, has occasioned a change to be made in future construction to avoid delays by a recurrence of high water.
 The hoist house and other appar- atus, which was again invisible yes terday, will be permitted to remain submerged, and new plant built at once on higher ground and above the high water marks of the two storms.
 The plan is to resume dam build ing next Monday, and with the pre- cautionary provisions taken to meet all future emergencies, no further de lays are anticipated Those at the dam Thursday evening reported the eight-foot square outlet as again in capable of handling the flow, and the water rose to three feet above the opening. The company has built a new wagon road to the works, at an elevation that precludes any possi- bility of high water interfering with traffic until the gates are ready to be laid, and the structure is ready for its purposes.
