HIGH PRAISE IS ACCORDED OUR
 EXHIBIT
REPUBLICAN SAYS IT IS NOT ONLY A CREDIT TO YAVAPAI. COUNTY BUT STATE AS WELL.
(From Thursdays Daily.)


 When it comes to any individual county in the State of Arizona mak- ing a representative exhibit in every department, Yavapai county certainly is deserving of mention, for in three of the principal sections of the Ari- zona State Fair the "Mother of Coun- ties" has displays which are credit to that county and to the entire State of Arizona.
 The agricultural and horticultural exhibit is again one of the principal centerS of attractions. Housed in it's own building of native pine, with its exhibits artistically arranged. display ing two large canvasses, of the his torical Thumb Butte at Prescott and the famous Williamson valley, the scene of Wright's popular book, "When a Mans Man. the exhibit is strikingly placed before the hundreds who daily throng the building. The many blue ribbons hung on the plates as a result of the first days judging emphasizes the common verdict of the quality of Yavapai's fruit. It is also important to note real growth of the county's agricultural resources, by the bringing in of the Little Chino's irrigation project.
 Yavapai county. appreciative of the wonderful prosperity which has come to it during the past two years as a result of the remarkable and stable growth of its mining industry, has this year placed an exhibit at the entrance to the mining building which eclipses any like exhibit ever made by this county The famous Little Daisy, at Jerome, whose stock has in that time advanced from 40 cents to $40 share, displays ores representative of that wonder mine of this mining cycle, while the stable old United Verde shows at its side representative ores which are producing S30OO0 a day. A cone exhibit of the ores from the Loma Prieta mine from the promising Copper Basin district adds to the cop per exhibits. From the Humboldt Consolidated Smelling Company. a complete exhibit is made including concentrates. native copper, ores from the DeSoto and Blue Bell properties owned by that company and two monster copper bullion bars. On the first table of the exhibit practically every ore in the mineral kingdom is to be found, including copper, gold. silver, lead, zinc, tungsten, molybden- um, antimony, aluminium, manganese, cinnabar, vanadium, etc, showing the great diversity and wonderful oppor- tunities Of the grand old county from the north. A unique part of this ex- hibit IS a large painting of the new court house for Yavapai county, which is now being built at cost of S250. OOO below which block ot granite IS shown which forms the material for this building.
 Here also is canvass typical of the mining industry of the county, and which together with the two mention ed above were produced by the fam ous Indian painter of Yavapai county, Miss Kate Cory.
 In the educational department, as we'll as the livestock, this county is amply represented. The mining ex- hibit IS under the supervision of Grace NJ. Sparkes, secretary of the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce, as- sisted by A. C. Gilmore.
 The agricultural exhibit is being di- rectcd by Fair Commissioner Bian- conf, assisted by Miss Sparkes and Prof. McOmie. Republican.
