LARGER STORAGE
 FOR LAKE WATSON
(From Sundays Daily)

It has been deemed advisable bv the Hassayampa Alfalfa Farms Co. to harness as much water as possible at it's Lake Watson dam on Granite creek. and in short time the adding of another three feet to the spillway section will begin This will increase the capacity of the lake to an a1di- tional 1000 acre feet, which action has been requested by the head c: the Russian colony now on the ground.
 The spillway is situated on the west end of the dam, and is three feet lower than the main structure of S7 feet in heighth. Since the first oi January the overflow has been con tinuous. at times reaching to over three feet in depth for a distance os 70 feet in length. Yesterday the over flow at the spillway was over eight inches. and the loss of such large body of water. at this particular time of the season for finishing winter crops. leaving the main body intact for future uses. prompts early action for this increase in storage.

DEAL IS
 CLOSED FOR BILLY BOY
(From Saturdays Daily)

NIEOlil OdlGA Ndg 6oA1t
 Ed. Block yesterday announced that his Billy Boy and Christmas groups of gold mines, situated on the Has sayampa river, ten miles to the south of Prescott, had been formally turne1 over to a syndicate Of Eastern in vestors and operations were to begin in a very short time on plans that em- brace a heavy outlay of capital.
 In speaking of the deal Mir. Block stated that the terms agreed up on were agreeable to all interested. and while the consideration will ulti- mately be for a big sum, the actual price was withheld for the present. This group was eagerly sought by othe- operators but their terms were flatly rejected. His attitude in this respect was backed by what is abso- lutely in evidence from development in establishing a desirable proposi- ton after further work is given, and which was admitted by engineers of the purchasers.
 In this group there are five patent cd and three unpatented mines, ad- joining the Climax and McNulty & Mcbride holdings. In addition 10 over 1000 feet Of development, the Billy Boy has milled large tonnage and returns in gold were satisfactory. The Christmas was acquired after what had been determined on the Billy Boy and both were consolidated for this deal.
 The new operators will begin a system of preparatory work by es' tablishing d camp, and making sur face improvements, as well as intro ducing modern machinery. They propose to pursue line of energetic development to depth.

In the window Of a Gurlcy street store there was placed o1 exhibition yesterday a small shipment of ore from the tungsten mines of George Thompson, on Tule creek, Tiptop district, that attracted the attention Of several hundred people, owing to the high value of this metal, that ie quoted at S65 per unit, and for its popularity among prospcctors, many of whom are securing this and other silver sections to make locations.

LIGHT RECEIPTS
 CAUSE PRICES TO GO UP
Speclal Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
 KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, Feb. 7.-The cattle market advanced IS to 25 cents last week because of light receipts. The supply today was l3.OOO head, containing a large per cent of beef cattle. and prices aver aged steady on all kinds, cows Shade higher. Best steers sold at $S.65, ani some enormous steers, 1900 pounds average. on the oxen order, sold at SS. 10. bulk of the beef steers $7.5O 10 SS25. Cows and ieifers usually sell little stronger on Monday because packing houses are anxious to start killing gangs, and they never have anything held over from the previous week. Choice heavy cows are worth up to $7, middle weight and flesh S5.5O to S6.25. best heifers $S,75, bulk of the heifers S625 to %.50, bulls $5.25 to S6.50. veals $S to SlO.5O. Stocker and feeder offerings included string of good to choice Colorado stockers weighing 750 pounds at S7.53, and some fed Colorados, 900 pounds, at S7. bulk of the stock steers S6.25, feeders S6.oO to $7.35, choice cattle in these classes up to S.75. Iowa con tributed a fair run today, stock steers included at $650 to SIPS, stuff to killers and for the country at S5.25 70 S6.75. Chicago had good run ani reported weak prices, and the up ward trend of the market has beeu temporarily halted by the fairly lib eral supply all around today. OF course. future market will depend on volume of the receipts, the balance being in favor of sellers last week, but slightly the other way today.
 Hogs are apparently we'll entrench- ed just under S. attempts to depress prices having only momentary effect. Receipts today were 11,0O0 head. and strong efforts were made to get them cheaper. but the close was fully steady. top S, and most of the sale, show only a slight decline, bulk S7.60. Receipts are decreasing at markets in the East, which results in more orders from that quarter to be filled here, increasing competition and strengthening prices. Pigs were sell ing extra high in Buffalo last week account of shortage, hence a better market here. Complaint has been made that more than the usual per ccntage of medium to common lights were included in the last week. Pros poets are favorable to sellers.
 Sheep and lambs sold 10 to l5 high CT today, lambs going to $lO9O, al which price dozen or fifteen doubles sold, and feeding lambs brought Slo The top lambs today included ship ments from each of the three Colo rado districts. San Luis valley, Ar kansas valley and Ft Collins. Some vearlings sold at S9SO, and just fan ewes brought S7.45, prime ewes wort up to S7.75. Receipts are 9.OOO her' today. and light supplies are in sigh
 for balance of the week. Scarcity will continue the leading market in 1 fiuence here.
