DAMASCUS TILES SHOWN

An art sale that promises to be
notable event will be the public dispersal
Of Thomas b. Clarke's private collection
Of beautiful cid textiles and embroid-
cries and his remarkable gathering or
antique pilates OF all nations"
The public sale will be under the man
agement OF the American Art Associa-
ton early in January, the public ex-
hibltion beginning January and contin-
uing until the date of the sale. Mr..
Clarke has always been prominent among
the American art collectors. and the
sale of his great collection OF American
paintings has not been forgotten. "Ohce
n collector always u collector seems to
apply to him aptly, for rs soon as his
paintings had been dispersed he began
seeking other channels wherein he could
exercise his Connoisseurship.
II was when building his new resi-
dence on East Thlrty-iifth street that
Mr.. Clarke conceived the idea OF adorn-
ing the walls OF the interior solely with
old hangings and plates. to the exclusion
of oil paintings and water colors. From
that time Mr.. Clarke has been a diligent
and enthusiastic collector of old textiles
and plates.
SO enthusiastically did he collect that
his accumulation soon oyerran MS mouse
room and his collection grew to such
an extent that 1t became question or
storage or public sale. After due
consideration the latter disposition was
decided upon. and hence occurs th's
sale, which will have such deep lh'tt-
est for other collectors

SECRET MISSION OF
 SCIENTISTS TO PRESCOTT

PHOENIX, June 24.-Two scien- lists of national reputation will spend a part of the summer in the noun tains of Northern Arizona in the vi cinity of Prescott. One Of the party is Prof. Leo Leob, president of the American Pathological Society with headquarters in New York City, fam ous as a research worker in the field Of experimental medicine and bacter- iology. His associate on the Arizona visit is Dr. w. o. Sweek. a famous pathologist and surgeon of Chicago.
 Arizona was chosen for visit for two reasons but the exact attraction has not been made public by the sci cntists. Dr. Sweek preceded Prof. Leob to Arizona and a laboratory was opened at temporary residence established here in Phoenix. Both are reticent about discussing the ob- ject of their Arizona visit and de- clare that their trip into the noun tain section is wholly for the purpose of recreation with the possible oppor- tunity for quiet consultation of diff ferent problems in the scientific field of medicine
 Prof. Leob is the author of a mum Der of scientific works of research, enc of which treats extensively of the effect of reptile poison dealing ex haustively with the Gila monster of the Southwest desert. Dr. Sweek is the author of numerous writings on vaccines. For the past year he has been associated with pr. John B. Murphy, of Chicago, doing expert mental work in this connection.
 Both of the scientists were extend ed invitations by the Arizona Medical Society to attend the meeting just at Prescott but it was only | possible for Dr. Sweek to accept and attend.

PLENTY OF BOOZE STILL
 STORED IN TUCSON

TUCSON, June 23.-Taxes on per sonal property are coming in quite well, but not as rapidly as Assessor Began believes they should Person al property on which the taxes have rot been paid by the 18th of this month will be seized and sold to sat isfy the taxes. Notices were sent out from the assessors office on June 15 and many people have paid no atten- ton to the notices at all and, as there are only two days left in which to make the required payment it is probable that number of persons will not make the payments and their property will be liable to seizure al ter Friday of this week.
 There is no record of such a pro ceeding having been taken before in this county, but the large amount of unpaid personal taxes at this time makes the seizure proceedings nee N9Sdly y OlI LHC Dat Ol lllt dSSSSSOl . office.
 A few of those who are taxed on personal belongings have given bonds to make the payments in De cember, but the majority of those notified that their personal taxes are due have failed to make any reply.
 The liquor stocks that still exist in this city and county have been assessed with real estate and the taxes on the booze are collectablc with the real estate taxes. In the event the taxes on the liquor stocks are not paid the real estate taxed with it can be sold. The taxable value of the liquor stocks existing in Tucson is from $25,OO0 to $30,OO.

SWANSEA COPPER MINES
 ON FIRM FOUNDATION
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Arrivals from Bouse give glowing reports of conditions at the Swansea Consolidated mines, where the force employed is over 100 at present, and production reaches to six cars a day for shipment to Humboldt.
 This output comes from new de velopment inaugurated by the man. agement, which is operating under or ders Of the court and authorized by the receiver in bankruptcy. The evi- dent success being made has stimu- lated other mines in that field, and several deals are said to be pending, with every indication of lively times following this fall. The Swansea people are also operating their rail road from the camp to Bouse, but the huge smelting plant on the ground is not in action, and according to re- ports, will not be for the present.

CORN FEDS DRAW
 AWAY FROM LOW GRADES

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS,
 June 21.-Corn fed cattle advanced IS
 to 30 cents last week, drawing away
 from the lower grades by just that much or more, bulk of the cattle sell ing steady for the week.
 Receipts today are 5000 head, the supply being restricted by fears of high water. as well as crippled condi- ton of some of the carriers. The threat of water damage has disap- peared today, and clear skies remove all danger Of flood. Packers are all buying. as the river has been station ary since morning, and will start fall ing today. The market was strong to 10 higher, some sales Is cents up.
 Native offerings were light, as ship pers feared high water. but some yearlings reached $925, bulk of the natives $S15 to So A feature today was the sale of some prime fed steers from Canyon City. Tex, at $910 and $925, weighing 1914 to l.444 pounds average. highest price ever paid for Texas cattle on the open market An other leading sale today was a train of IS cars of steers from Phoenix, Ariz., fattcned on ground barley. at %.S5 to $S.25, weighing around 1,200 pounds, including load of bulls at S6.65 and load of stags at S7.15. These prices were very pleasing to the shippers, as was also the light shrink, the cattle taking a good fill here.
 Butcher grades remain firm account of scarcity. Quarantine arrivals were delayed by washouts, although two or three trains got in late. for which buyers were waiting. Stockers and feeders are in strong request. but supplies are limited, desirable cattle largely at SIPS to $S, a few cattle above these prices
 In the hog division light receipts met strong demand, and the 6,000 head that arrived sold higher, most sales at $7.55 to $7.65, top $7.7O. The break in prices last week looked but repair work was even more speedily done than usual re- gently on the occasion of breaks, which bears out the prediction that prices will work higher after the end of June. Receipts during June have been smaller than the talent pre- licted
 Sheep and lambs remained steady oday, with some signs of strength, eceipts only 2,1OO head Native bring lambs brought $950, and some ow grade mixed Texas stock brought ;5.75, forwarded to this market from t. Worth, where it did not get any ids. Native ewes are worth $45G to 5.25.

 OTHER BIG SHEEP DEAL
(From Thursdays DaiIy.)

kTTOIl uuISudy Ddlly.)
 Between mining deals and range transactions, Yavapai county during the past two months has been on the crest of the wave of prosperity. It has been almost a daily occurrence of a mine changing hands or a livestock sale being closed up and yesterday another range deal for over $30,000 was negotiated, in which Charles E. Burton bought from Simon Poquette, of Ash Fork, all the latter's sheep and grazing rights.
 Mr. Burton in the past two months las made other very heavy purchases of livestock, and it is admitted that he is destined to be the largest in dividual owner of sheep in the state, if not in the southwest. He has his headquarters near Jerome Junction, where he has recently reclaimed a large domain of arid land and made il productive by pumping water from wells. During the past month over $250,000 has changed hands for range holdings in this vicinity, and several other deals arc pending.

RRAWNY PLACER MINER
 HELD HIS OWN
(From Fridays Dailyl

An attempt was made on Tuesday night at about 8:3G o'clock to hold up an old placer miner in his cabin near the Ruth mines on Indian creek, but was frustrated mainly by the physical ability of the prospective victim. and his screams which attracted attention of miners at the above camp.
 ]. Griffin. who brought the news to the city yesterday, stated the name of the miner was not known. On enter ing the cabin the robber attacked his victim without a word of warning, having in his hand club. with which he rained blow after blow on the lead and shoulders of the old man. The latter's screams were heard at the Ruth camp. situated about 200 yards away. and several miners came running to the place. The holdup then took to the hills and as yet has not made his appearance in that sec ton. It is believed he went down the Hassayampa and is getting out of the country where no telephone communi- cation can intercept him.
 The old placer miner afterward stated lis wounds were not serious. which he attributes to the blows giv- en being glancing ones. He was talk en to the Ruth camp and will here after reside there. The incentive of the crime was over $1OO in cash which he carried on his person, as we'll was it believed by the holdup there was in the cabin quite large sum in gold dust.

DEAL CLOSED FOR
 MOHAVE MINE IN PRESCOTT
(From Fridays Dai.r.>

Contracts were signed in this city
 yesterday whereby the Arabian mine located in Mohave county was pur-
 chased under bond and lease by w.
 R. Layne, of Casa Grande. The own
 CTS of the property constituting the
 Arabian Gold Mines Company are T.
 c. Norris, A. w. Edwards, of Pres
 colt; John Mason Ross, of Bisbee, and
 Eli Hilty and Robert Brannock, os Kingman.
 For the past three weeks Mir. Layne
 has been making an examination of the property under temporary op-
 ton and he was so satisfied with its possibilities that he came to Prescott and closed up the deal with President Norris and Secretary Edwards of the company. A consideration of near ly $l0O,OO0 is involved in the trans action and the purchaser has agreed to conditions which insure continuous operation of the property and to terms which provide for the final pay ment being made in IS months.
 About two years ago the Mines Company of America was working the property under a bond and be- cause it was refused an extension of time when the first payment fell due, the company threw up its option, con trary to the advice of the engineer who had directed the development work. Since that time, engineers have made examinations and reported . that there was ore blocked out to the value of S3700O0. The ore is low grade and will require extensive mill ing facilities to treat it proftably, and therefore large initial investment of capital will be required of the new owners. It is understood that Mir Layne represents capitalists who are one of the big tobacco companies. For the past five years he has been ill the mining business in Mexico. Had not Mir Layne secured the option on the Arabian, 2 San Francisco capitalist was ready to open negotiations for the property.
