After studying it all out, I went at it and combined thought and action to degree sufficient to get away with it.

PURPOSE OF BOY
 SCOUT CLUB IS TOLD
(From Saturdays Daily)

The Boy Scout organization is in Prescott to stay, Dr. H. T. South worth told large gathering at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon held yesterday noon at the Yavapai Club. The boys of Prescott have shown an active interest in it since Mrs. Hugo Richards first announced her inten- ton of financing the movement
 One of the first duties of the Boy Scout, the speaker said, is to pur- chase a uniform with the money he has earned
 Since Prescott does not have a Y NJ. C. A., believe this new organiza- ton should have been started long ago." Dr. Southworth said. 'I have promised to give all of the time I can spare to the boys. With the cooper ation of other citizens of this city it will not take the local charter long to be one of the best in the State"
 Howard Wester, Boy Scout com missioner told what the organization stood for and cited many interesting things accomplished by Boy Scouts in other cities in the country.
 "To be mentally, physically and morally perfect is the aim of the Boy Scouts in America" Wester said. ITO help the other fellow and to be pre- pared for every emergency is taught the members of this organization.
 ''We teach them to excell in every thing they attempt to do. In some cities members of the Boy Scouts are doing many useful things for the com- munity. For instance, in an Eastern city they are taking care of the Or phan'S Home grounds. In another city the Boy Scouts are reported as taking care of babies in nursery for mothers who have not the time to at tend their children's wants during the day nor the means to place them in a private institution"
 The majority of those present at the luncheon offered their services to the newly formed organization.

COLUMBUS DAY
 OBSERVED IN PRESCOTT
CFrom Fridays Daiiy.)

All banks and public buildings were closed yesterday in honor of the dis covery of America, this date being set aside as a legal holiday. Although no elaborate ceremonies were planned by the Knights of Columbus, an or ganization founded in honor of the great Italian philosopher and discov- crer, citizens of Prescott remembered that it was holiday and little activ- ity was noticeable about the streets.
 America was discovered by Chris topher Columbus on October F, l4o2. He planted the Spanish flag and pro- claimed it discovered in the name Of Spain, the country which had given him his ships and sailors to make the long sea voyage. It was only until recent years that Columbus Day has been set aside as legal holiday.
 The local order of Knights of Co., mmbus celebrated the holiday with a ball held in the Odd Fellows hall last night. Many were present and good time was enjoyed by all.

BIG LAND DEALS
 OCCASIONING INTEREST
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Arrivals from the Upper Verde country stated yesterday that rapid fire land deals were being made, in which it was believed the United Verde Extension Company was hgur- ing as a buyer. to date six large ranches having changed hands situ- ated in a locality near where the new shelter is to be built
 This movement is believed to be the forerunner of early construction of the big plant.
 The site for the projected smelter has not been given publicity, but it is reported its location will be several hundred feet above that of the United Verde at Clarkdale, to obviate dam age to farms through the smoke con dominating nearby land holdings. With the large deals closed preceding the building of the Clarkdale plant, and followed by the Extension adopt ing d similar line of action in con struction of its works, the two big copper companies will own the most desirable farm properties Tn Upper and Middle Verde.

DOUGLAS LINKED TO
 FUTURE OF SWANSEA
(From Sundays daiiy.)

Arrivals few days ago from Bousc reported that community as deeply engrossed over a deal in which it is stated that James s. Douglas had taken an option to purchase the Bouse and Swansea railroad stock of certain individuals representing d controlling interest therein.
 Mir Douglas was visitor last week to the holdings of the Swansea Con solidated, and his name was also as sociatcd with deal pending therefor, under a lease to be authorized by creditors when this matter comes be- fore the Federal court at Phoenix on October lS when the present lease eX- pires. The fact of Mir. Douglas be- ing in that field, and making an in spcction of the Swansea is considered as the forerunner of important devel- opments. Senator w. A. Clark. is re- puted to be another bidder for the Swansea, and during the past six months has had his engineers in that field at frequent times. Bouse IS the terminus of the railroad running into Swansea, and is the only outlet for the copper camp, ? miles distant. The releasing of the Swansea mines seems to meet with the approval of creditors, according to statements made a few days ago by local attor- ncys retained, but whether the pres cnt leasing arrangement will be re- ncwed is uncertain. The property un- der the management of E. C. Lane, superintendent of the estate of Judge Thomas, deceased, has made re- markablc output during the past year, shipping total of 200 cars of a grade of orc said to give average values of per cent in copper. The recent visit of Mir. Douglas to Bousc and Swansea, the railroad deal being closed, and his probable association with the future of the Consolidated, has cnlivcncd as we'll as strengthened mining in that field more than any other movement in many years. The affairs of the Swansea have been in the Federal court in a state of bank ruptcy for over two years.

OLO FIRST HOME REV|vED;; MAKES
 GOOD SHOWING
MILLING PLANT SOON TO START: BIG TONNAGE EXPOSED IN NEW WORK PERFORMED.
CFrom Fridays Daily.)

Development has progressed to such a stage in the First Home mines of Big Bug district, that reduction will begin next week, was the state ment made yesterday by Superintend- cnt w. II. Worthington, who was in the city.
 The mill on the Oriental property, recently purchased, is being repaired for the purpose, as well is Notation plant being installed. The First Home was taken over by a syndicate with which local and Los Angeles people are identified. Cleaning out of the old workings, retimbering the shaft to a depth of 300 feet, new eX- ploration and ore bodies determined, warrant milling to be inaugurated.
 Mir. Worthington stated yesterday that depth of 240 feet has been reached III the old shaft, and the ore is a surprise in size as well as grade, The values arc silver and lead only, and without taking into consideration conditions prevailing on the 300-foot level, the tonnage open for develop mcnt insures the plant will be run to its capacity for months to come on a basis of treating 50 tons per day. This well known mining operator, who comes from Mexico, is optimistic over the property, as well does he state that the representations made by the former owner, Ed. Block, pre- ccding the closing of the deal have been more than verified as 10 actual conditions prevailing underground from top 10 bottom, in mineral char acter of the product, as well as values carried. The property laid idle for nearly ten years, owing to the low price of the metals.

P-THE-LOOP
 AVIATOR WILL FLY HERE
(From Fridays Daily.)

Thomas 4. Edison, the famous in vcntor, is staunch booster and an admirer of Little Laddie Laird, the lS-year-old boy aviator, whose cx- Itraordinarily sensational and spec tacular aerial maneuvers have gained him an international reputation. This brave Scotch lad will loop the loop and show many other ''hair-raising' stunts when he appears at the North ern Arizona Fair, October 19, 20, and 2l.
 Edison declares that he considers the six fcats of this boyish exponent of darc-dcviltry the greatest contri- button to science since the Wright Brothers first flew a heavicr-than-air machine several years ago.
 "I was awcd, astonishcd and amaz- ed,' asserted Mir. Edison recently, when l saw the ease and grace with which this courageous boy handled his tiny biplane in the clouds. I could not believe my eyes at iirst-that such little lad could be such a fear less flicr. His loops and dangerous twists and turns set my nerves ting ling.
 "Two years. ago Orville Wright told me that man had done about all with the aircraft that could be done with it until the inventive genius pro vided some automatic balancing de- vice calculated to act more quickly than many can think and act at the same time. This cherry lad who laughs at death showed that he was wrong.

Then l spent whole day figuring out how it was possible for boy like that to be performing feat the man who invented and flew the first aero plane declared was impossible. It offered sufficient food for thought and deep thought at that. When 1 sought | out the little lad and asked for all cx-

RAILROAD MOVE STARTS
 CAMPS TN ACTION
(From Sundays Daily)

We were advised by prominently known mining man of Southern Ari- zona a short time ago that our copper holdings in the Squaw Peak district, would soon receive attention, in view of early construction starting on the Mesa and Clarkdalc railway, and we are here to act accordingly" said Az fred and F. s. Gunnter yesterday, who arrived Friday from Silver City, New Mexico.
 They come to start annual assess ment work on their group of IS claims, on which they have been per forming this character of develop ment for the past eight years. Both visitors admitted, however, that the projected road is the inducement for them to come to make observations. When built, this railroad according to reports of the route chosen, will be within five miles of their camp, and if such is assured, they propose to be- gin operating on a permanent basis at once.
 In addition to the holdings of the Gunnters being benefited by this rail IOdu, OlHCIS VIII DC SlIlilidl lS duCOlCu. Significance is attached to the organi- zation recently of new copper com pany for the Squaw Peak field, in which the issue of stock met with a ready sale among investors, a work ing fund of Sl60,OO0 now being in the treasury. Since publicity has been given to the new railroad movement, prospectors are entering the Copper Canyon country, distant about five miles from Camp Verde, and many locations are being made. The pre- ferred zone seems to be on the slope leading into the Verde valley, where the formation would indicate copper conditions as attractive. Copper can yon derived its name over 45 years ago from surface showings, but not until the railroad furry seized that region has any interest been mani fcsted toward making locations.
