OLD TIME GOLD
 MINE BEGINS NEW LIFE
(From Saturdays Daily.)

(From Saturdays Daily.)
 It will be learned with much in tcrcst in mining circles of this field that the old Sterling, in Hassayampa district, has been revived, camp be ing established on Wednesday, and initial operations are now under head way.
 This movement is due to J. B. Tom linson, who returned short time ago from Colorado, to resume operations on the Venezia and other holdings with which he has been identified for many years. His son, E. L. Tomlin- son, has assumed charge of the Ster- ling, and he stated yesterday the pre- liminary work would be directed to- ward cleaning out the old workings, which include a shaft of APO feet in depth, and levels approximating a length of over 20O0 feet. Several years ago the Tomlinsons performed considerable development on this mine. when operations were suspend ed. In early days of free milling this mine attracted very much attention for it's heavy yield A mill was built, out internal troubles in the company arose and litigation closed down the property.
 The intention to revive this particu- lar mining proposition is another in dication of the old mines being desir- able for the investment of capital.
 Mir. Tomlinson also will establish a large and active camp on the Nenezia in Crook canyon, as soon as roads arc opened and the snow disappears, which is now over five feet deep. He returns to this section prepared to carry out a line of heavy gold mining.

DAISY IS
 CLIMBING UP IN EAST
CFrom Saturdays Daily.)

(From Saturdays Daily.)
 Private telegrams were received in Prescott yesterday from Boston that United Verde Extension stock was selling at $3.5O on the curb, which vas the closing quotation for the day.
 This news is decidedly interesting 70 many stockholders of this city and Jerome, but the advance was antici- pated. however, from the remarkable showing made, together with the fact that ore Is being sacked and shipped from the mine to the United Verde smclters, which is said to range from 30 to 5 per cent in the red metal.
 That the stock is popular was made manifest few days ago, when many offers were made in this city for it at s per share, which were turned down by those who are holding for still another advance.
 The local situation in this invest ment was given yesterday by Judge ]. ]. Harrington, of Jerome, who stat ed that on Thursday many offers were made at s, and in some in stances at $3.30 per share, all of which were refused The visitor states that the property continues to attact more attention than any other in that field among the new undertakings, and that wonderful possibilities are anti cipated is evident from the keen in tcrest shown to invest, and on the other hand to hold or to the stock.
 When the reorganization of this was perfected less than two years ago, the stock was freely quot cd at 50 cents, with very few willing to buy. The strike on the 1,2O0foot level, and later on the l, 400 level, has determined another desir- able property for that belt.

NO LIVESTOCK TO
 MOVE UNDER QUARANTINE

PHOENIX. March H. Prohibit ing the shipment into Arizona of live stock, poultry, hay, straw and grain of all descriptions, the most drastic livestock quarantine in the history of Arizona was proclaimed today by Governor Hunt A resolution asking the governor to take this action was adopted at meeting of the live stock sanitary board.
 The new quarantine law, which is identical with that adopted by Texas, March 1, forbids the importation of all kinds of goods packed in hay and straw, anti-hog cholera serum and hog cholera virus, as the dreaded foot and mouth disease it has been found, is spread by these means as we'll as by cattle and hay. The quar- lntine will become effective about March 12. Similar regulations, it is stated, already have been adopted by the State of New Mexico.
 Cattle shipments into or through Arizona already have been suspended oy order of Superintendent T. H. Williams of the Southern Pacific. The order instructs agents not to accept shipments to points into Arizona or for movement across this state, bring ing the cattle business as far as inter state business is concerned to a com 2lete standstill. The Santa Fe and Fl Paso and Southwestern will adopt similar regulations.
 Additional precautions against the disease were not recommended be- cause of any new outbreak of the epidemic, or any new developments, put to put Arizona on an equal foot ng with the other states of the Southwest. With the new quarantine n effect Arizona, Texas, New Mexico md California will be able to let town the bars and allow shipments of live stock and hay to pass across heir borders, provided, of course, such shipments originate in any of he four states. Telegrams advising such an interstate modification of the quarantine regulations already have been sent the governors of New Mex co and Texas In addition the live stock sanitary board wired J. H. Avery, chairman of the Texas live stock board asking for conference IS soon as convenient, looking to an agreement for the exchange of ship nents.
 Prospects for Southwestern al- lance" to which the four states will ,e parties are considered favorable The rigid regulations in Texas are shortly to create a state vide demand that the bars be lowered between states imposing the same weeping quarantine.
 "Now that Arizona is to be put on he same basis, l think that Texas will favor the proposed agreement" aid Secretary Sam B. Bradner of the i've stock sanitary board yesterday, and that farmers in the Gila valley will be able to ship their hay to Texas
 
 Il the near future. They have been .reatly handicapped by the new quar- ntine."
 Under the new regulations any ship nents of cattle across Arizona can e unloaded only in special pens and II cars will have to be disinfected in ccordance with the specifications of he bureau of animal husbandry. But S the Southern Pacific has already that no interstate ship 1ents will be received, this clause yill probably have little effect at resent
