DIAMOND STUDDED
 WRIST WATCH AND
 BRACELET IS SHOWN
L. L. Gilman Places on Display the Most Valuable Piece of Jewelry Ever Seen in En- tire Southwest. .

The most valuable piece of jewelry, ever handled by a Bisbee dealer. will be put on display this morning in the Gilman wondow when a wonderful wrist watch. made of diamonds and oriental saphires, and valued at close to S2000 can be seen.
 L. L. Gilman showed the gem. or the composition of gems, to few people yesterday who pronounced it the finest specimen of the jewellers art ever seen on the counter of western merchant
 The mounting is entirely of platin- um. with the exception of a small por- tion of the watch which is 24 carat gold. There are one thousand dia- monds in the affair, seven of them equalling in size gems. of over three earats. The stones. in themselves. are of the purest white and are rated at from s275 to SS25 per carat to the trade.
 Inc diamonds are perfect and have been cut for the ornament They are egg shape and of considerable size. It is a we'll known fact in stone cut ting circles that when an old shape stone is cut that the original must be several times the cut stones size. This is one of the reasons for the value of the jewel.
 Besides the large diamonds there are eight egg-shaped oriental saphires. or beautiful blue. The combination of blue, the light gray of the platinum and the put whiteness of the dia- monds. combined with the many smaller cut and uncut pieces, makes of the watch bracelet the most beauti- ful things ever placed on display in the Southwest.

PHONE CONDITIONS
 OVER STATE RAPIDLY
 GETTING TO NORMAL
Division Manager and Plant Superintendent Visiting in Bisbee. All Toll Lines Cut by Recent Storm.

For the first time in the history of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph company's time of doing business in Arizona every toll line over the various rivers in the state were washed out. On the other hand the company, for the first time in this section, has been able to demonstrate its ability to do temporary repair work and get communication through at the earliest possible moment.
 The above facts became known yes terday afternoon with the arrival of o. F. Teschnor, division plant super intendent of Fl Paso, and R. L. Bur gess. manager of the Southern Arizo- na division of the company. Both of ficers of the company will spend a day or two in the District aiding the local officials in putting the serv;c, back on its normal basis.
 According to Burgess direct com munication with Phoenix, from Tue son. was had late yesterday when the workmen of the company succeeded in shooting, with the aid of a make shift, gas pipe cannon. a wire across the raging Gila river at Sacaton. Heretofore the company has maintain ed service to the state capital by way of Hayden where a lineman took 9 wire across several days ago.
 The trouble, though country wide, has been the worst in the southeast ern Section of the state. The snow first attacked the company's wires at Steins pass, on the Fl Paso and Southwestern, where a matter of eighty poles were taken to the ground by the wind and the weight of the snow. Through this section it is well known to what extent the storm worked havoc with telephone busi- ness.
 The damage in Tucson was nothing compared with that in Cochise county. In the Old Pueblo the rain was very severe but otherwise the elements kept well within bounds. At Yuma the recent rise of the Colorado threat ened to do great damage to the plant there. It was only after many breaks had been repaired that continuous communication was maintained with coast points.
 "The situation is rapidly clearing up" stated Division Manager Burgess. The trouble. upon an occasion of this kind, is due to the fact that we need equipment and that is hard to secure in any great hurry though our distri- outing depots are making every effort to get the service back to it's highest efficiency"

MEAT QUIT PUT
 IN THE WEST

That hereafter there should be a slow increase in the output of beef and
 mutton in the range States of the West but that this increase is likely to be accompanied by an increase in the cost of production, are the chief con clusiens of a report on Hive Stock Production in the Eleven Far Western Range States which the department
 has just published. This report is one | of the five sections of the exhaustive report on the meat situation in the United States, in the preparation of
 which the department specialists have
 been engaged for some time. Itl dis
 cusses the reasons for the long decline i in meat production in the West and
 explains why there is reason to believe
 that this is now a thing of the past
 In addition, it includes detailed studies
 of the present cost of producing steers
 and lambs. | Between 1910 and 1914, the year in
 which the Investigations on which the
 report is based were made, the num-
 bers of live stock in. the II States of
 Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, I Montana. Nevada, New Mexico, Ore gon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming declined about 13 per cent. For this 0eCllne the report nOlQS the settlement
 of public lands and the consequent
 reduction of the range primarily res ponsib1e. A number of other causes
 have contributed to the downward movement, but, it is pointed out, these
 have been more than offset by high
 prices and therefore more profitable range animals, and the general agricul- tural development which have favored
 production By leading to a more wide spread adoption of the practice of win ter feeding and winter pasturing on alfalfa and cultivated crops. | The prediction that this decrease
 hereafter will give way to an increase /, is based upon the belief that the ann
 ount of live stock on farms and home- steads will be greater in the future;
 that the stock ranges in the national forests will continue to improve; that tho carrying capacity of the stock ran-
 ges on the public domain may be in-
 creased by legal regula tion; and, final I1y. that high prices of range animals and Letter methods will result in a more efficient utilization of the avail
 able forage, or, in other words, a greater production per unit of forage.
