 It Is a mistake to say that the bond cures the contract. Ii is elementary that the provisions of the bond can not extend or broader those of the contract. As the author of the bond in question, can truthfully say that there is no intention to extend the contract by the provisions of the bond. The bond was drawn in its present form so as to avoid any ques- ton with the bonding company, and also for the purpose of allaying the fears and complying with the honest of the minority member of the board to the so-called general features of the contract.
 In conclusion. permit me to assure the public, through your paper, that TO fears need be entertained as to the ample protection afforded the county through the contract in ques- ton especially as to those portions Tor which our office Is responsible. The county attorneys office is ready at all times to assert and defend ev- ,ry statement here made. I would ike to say further that from my knowledge of the personnel of the board. l am quite sure that every member Is honestly desirous of. and will use his best efforts to secure for he county court house that will be l monument to the citizenship oi iavapai county. and that if any mis- akes nave or will be made, such mis- akes will be honest ones.

SHARP ADVANCE IN
 THE PRICE OF CATTLE

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, Feb. 28.-Cattle advanced 25 to 5 cents last week, and the improved condition was not fully realized by shippers till they began to get returns from their sales this morning. Re ccipts today were 13,0O0 head, and the market was strong, some of the clos ing sales 10 higher. The general feeling prevails that still higher prices are billed for the near future. Best steers here today brought sS.6O, which does not indicate the strength of the market. as does the rank and file of the cattle at s to SS.35, very fev steers below S7.60, and a good many sales around SS.50. Of course. prime steers would go above So now.
 A feature today was the arrival oi 30 or 40 cars of good steers from the North Colorado field, and from the Arkansas valley. These steers sold tip to $S.50. and bulk of them brought SS to $S.35, practically none below s, weights running from LIPS to 1850, few rough steers up to l 500 pounds
 Western fed bulls brought S6.40 and S6.45 in carload lots. Cows and heif CTS sold strong, best heavy COWS now worth S7 or better, neifers S850. fair to good cows around $6, best heavy bulls $675. veal calves up to S11. Stockers and feeders held up firm a; recent advances, though there were no sensational sales, lack of quality being the only reason. as everything was primed for high top. Some black yearlings that went out last Fall at $40 which have been rough ed along since, were returned and sold at S7.S5, having gained 30 pounds per head in the meantime Most of the decent stock steers now sell above S, and feeders range from S7.50 to S.o0. a few feshy steers being taken at SS or a little better.
 Ho~ --ceipts were 1000 head, mar let ; 10 20 higher than Saturday. and 10 cents above best time last week, which means at highest range since the break last October Tha feature was heavy demand from order buyers for shipment to Eastern points, this trade being literally swamped with orders, many of which they could not fill. Packers got in step. and paid up to the top. though the nustling order buyers picked the cream of the crop over, at SS.25 to SS.50, the latter the top price. A good many light hogs sold at SS.l5 to SS.25, and bulk of all sales was at SSl5 to SS.45. Scarcity in the East. and dc creasing receipts at Western markets, with a continued heavy demand to- the meat, makes the hog prospect very strong.
 Sheep and lambs sold strong to 10 higher, best sales at the close. Re ceipts were 14,OOO head Seven cars of lambs brought $li.1O, each of the three feeding districts of Colorado, having lambs at the top price. and the It. Collins district contributed | two cars of ewes at SS. % pounds average, highest price of the Winter for ewes. Medium common lambs ranged down to S1075. and feeding lambs arc quotable Up to S10.25. best yearlings around Sl0, wcthers SS.35.

en years, operations arc to be imme' diately resumed in the workings O! the May Mining Company. The May adjoins the Blue Bell mine on the north and prior to 1907 presented equal ore-yielding opportunities. Tn that year of panic and unstable fnan cial conditions, however, the operat ors of the May were forced to close down the mine. The Blue Bell peo- pie, to the contrary, were able to con tinue operations, and to good pur' pose; for the mine is producing high grade copper ore to a depth of 30 feet and has for long time been a steady and consistent shipper. The Ohio people behind the May com pany, encouraged by the splendid fu' ture of the Blue Bell, and the prob ability of the same rich ore body pre- vailing in the May workings, have decided to resume operations. As . means to that end electrical machi1 cry has been purchased for the mine The Blue Bell and May are located in the Mayer section.
 A Bond On Lincoln.
 D. H. Bradley, IT,, a former oper- ator of mines in Parall and other sec tions of Mexico, has taken over th= famous Lincoln mine under bond and lease. Philadelphia capital is inte: ested in the project with Mir. Bradley A force of twenty men is repairing 3 the roads leading to the mine, clean ing out the old drifts and stopes. foi the purpose of inspection. A new shaft is to be sunk at ce,i- tral point in the large ore shoot ex- posed in the old workings, the hrsi objective being a depth of 300 feet. At that point the shoot is to be open ed and ore blocked out At the samS time the shaft vii be opened to 401 feet, where similar work will be done The new shaft is to be equipped with an air-compressor. drills, electric hoist, etc. The machinery is en route to the mine.
 A Bit of History.
 Development of this ore shoot, as outlined by Bradley, will doubtless re suit in the resumption of ore ship ments from this famous old producer In former years the Lincoln was tn pride of the Bradshaw mountains ana better than S500,000 worts of nigh grade gold ore. In due course. however, the ore, at depth, becam what is termed refractory" There after operations became desultory and finally ceased. The suspensioa was not due, however. to any lack O. gold in the ore, but solely to the fact that the reduction processes of thai era could not reclaim the values afte- -he ores became base. The records show that the last dozen shipments made by the former operators mad an average gold value of $S3 per tol Bradley will treat the ore in a IS stamp mill near the shaft. This mil vas recently modernized and supplied with the oil-hotation process.

FIGHT STARTS TO SAVE
 THE LIFE OF KERMEEN

PHOENIX, March 4. - Another fight to save the life of Walter Ke-- meen, condemned to die at Florence penitcntiary in Arizona on March lC for the staying of ]. r. Harrell, a Los Angeles bank clerk, who was repriev ed at the eleventh hour on January / as the moose nung ready to swing him into eternity, started today in Phoenix
 Although the time limit has expired for persons to appear before tn, State prison board and plead for Ker- meen, it was announced today tha; Mrs. J. J. Kermeen. the boys moth CT, would be given an opportunity to ask for he- sons life.
 Will Plead For Son.
 Mrs. Kcrmeen, unattended by coun- sel, can appear before the prison Board in person. There sine will voice a mothers broken-hcarted request that her only son be saved from death on the scaffold.
 Attorney General Jones oi Arizons stated that Mrs. Kermeen must pleaG in person and that she may not bs attended by an attorney while she is closeted with the prison board.
 On March the prison board adopt cd resolution stating that all pleas must be made in writing. but it was decided to waive the rule in order 10 allow the mother to ask for her sons life.
 Mrs. Kermecn stated that she would remain in Phoenix to fight for her son until the last minute.
 Question of Sanity.
 When Kermeen was rcpricvcd on January / the action was based on . request of the governor of Nevada. who asked that a further invcstiga- ton be made into Kcrmccn's sanity. Apparently this investigation has not been made. according to tclcgraphic reports from Arizona.
 Kcrmecn was tried and convicted on a charge of slaying Harrell, thc Los Angeles bank clerk, whose death took place while the couple were or a hunting trip. No motive for the crime ever appeared.

Robert w. Cole and L
NJ. Cole Visit Old
Home

Robert w. Cole and l.. M
Cole returned last Friday after
noon from a weeks visit to their
old home in Owsley county, and
they report as having one of the
best times of their lives. They
say that they have about five
hundred kinsfolk in Owsley and
that during the time they were
there that they visited and saw
about four hundred of them
This is some kinsfolk. bat Bob
and Mat told it, and we guess it
is SO.
The editor of this paper rem
embers well when they drove in
from Owsley county thirty-th three
years ago last December, and
they have only made a few visits
to their old home since that time.
They say that Owsley county
has as many good people accord
ing to population as any other
county they know. and that there
are many prosperous farmers
there, and that the way they
make their visitors eat is a eau
ton.
While riding over a large part
of the county visiting their rela-
tives and friends, they inquired
about the race for judge of the
Court of Appeals, and they say
that Judge Sampson is largely
in the lead in the parts of the
county they were in. They be-
lieve from the information they
could gather that Judge Samp-
son will carry Owsley county by
a substantial majority. They
have kinsfolk almost enough in
the county to carry it for Samp-
son, and they say that they are

Bob and Mat says that they
sure love their Owsley county
folks and are going to visit then
more in the future than they
have in the past. About al
of their kinsfolk are Republicans
but Albert Brandenburg ant
Albert they think does not near
any harm by being a Democrat,
He was raised that way and
can't help it, but they say that
the pity of it is that he has eight
children that he is training the
same way.
But they say that their demo-
crat kinsman does not come up
with their Republican kinsfolk
as Green Mainous has eleven re-
publicans and many others can
bear Albert.
They visited the old log cabin
on Buck Creek where they were
raised. and went up and down
the creek where they used to
fish and go in swimming. and
they were disappointed when
they found the deep holes filled
up and could find no place in the
creek where they could play as
they did when they were boys,
more than thirt, three years ago.
Bob and Mat tried to be young
again while there but when they
found so many relatives had
been born since they left and
have now large families of their
own and some grand children,
they had to acknowledge that
they are not as young as they
were thirty-three years ago.
While in Bonneville they were
startled by light coming down
the street, which they took to be
the head light of an engine, but
when it approached closer, they
found it was only the red face of
their cousin Squire w. M. Main
Gus, who came down the street
following for Judge Sampson.

time on this visit ard we wish
them many years of prosperity
and happiness.
