EXPERIENCE NARROW
 ESCAPE ON GRADE
(From Wednesday's Daily.) )

Returning from Phoenix to Pres colt, Monday, Miss Grace Sparkes and John Bianconi narrowly escaped death when an automobile in which they were riding ran of the Copper Basin grade. Bianconi and Miss Sparkes were returning from the State fair where they had charge of the Yavapai county exhibits. The fact that rock prevented the light car from plunging down a hundred foot embankment is all that saved them from almost certain death.
 Bianconi and his passenger had al- most reached the top of the grade when the machine suddenly skidded and slid over the bank. The rear wheels stopped when they struck boulder, or the machine would have probably turned over and killed both It required three hours to get the machine back on the road.

YAVAPAI WINS
 MANY HONORS AT FAIR
(From Wednesdays Daiiy)

At the Arizona State Fair just closed, Yavapai county was particu. larly successful in competing against the other counties of Arizona. From this county four displays were made, mining, agricultural, educational and 1 livestock.
 The mining exhibit was attractively arranged and called for considerable favorable comment from the hun dreds who thronged the exhibit. AL though no premiums were awarded ill this department whatever, 1t is safe to wager that Yavapai would have come in for her share of honors had any judging taken place. Due to the won- derful mineral displays which were made by the mining counties of Ari- zona, it is a certainty that more at tention will be given this department in the future.
 For the best, largest and most com prehensive exhibit in the agricultural and horticultural department, Yava> pal won the grand silver trophy cup and first cash prize, as against all other Arizona counties competing. Ii is also interesting to note that for the most artistically arranged booth, Yav apai county won first prize.
 The great surprise in the agricul- tural department was the display of citrus fruit, including oranges, pome. los and dates, which was made by Castle Hot Springs. To the great constcrnation of Maricopa county the oranges from Castle Hot Springs were pronounced of better quality and flavor than any exhibited by the Southern counties and were awarded the blue ribbon.
 E. c. Well of Prescott, again cap tured the Fred Harvey trophy cup for the purest milk and cream pro- duced in the entire State and this cup now becomes the permanent property of Mir Well.
 The educational exhibit which was sent by Prescott and Jerome won as a standard exhibit and received the blue ribbon and first cash prize.

PRESIDENT OF COMPANY MAKES INSPECTION TRIP: ENGINEERS IN THE FIELD AND DEALS CLOSED.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Arrivals from Copper creek report
 rumors as current that the Bagdad
 Company is preparing to resume, and
 that the trip of inspection of the
 holdings made last week by President
 Bronson. of New York City, was for the purpose of arranging details along this line. The appearance of civil and mining engineers, three of these corps being in the field. indicates probable railroad building as under final con sideration. Reports are also heard that the selection of either the Yucca, Seligman or Swansea surveys is to be determined as the route for railroad building, in which the Yucca project seems to meet with favor Mir. Bron- son left Prescott few days ago for Pioche, New, where he has mines un- der operation, and it was stated he would return to his Arizona camp be- fore February 1.
 The presence of mining engineers in that field at the present time, to- gether with quite large deals having been closed, and other sales pending, is considered by those interested there as the initial step by which the large company has practically decided to go ahead again. In addition to the copper situation attracting interest, the gold-silver zone of the district is also bringing in quite large number of prospective investors, a San Fran cisco syndicate having its representa- lives there to make examinations of certain properties which carry the metals preferred. Transportation is the essential matter under considera- ton. as forerunner for mining to resume on a large basis

KNIGHT OF GRIP
 COMES HERE 40 YEARS
(From Thnrsday's Daily.)

NFGOrl furSnayS Dally.b As a commercial traveller to Pres colt, Sig Simon enjoys the unique dis tinction of being the veteran of all "roadsters" visiting the city. During his visit this week he recalled that in October of 1876, he first landed in what was then more familiarly known as the village of Prescott, with its one-story buildings. pine logs hgur- ing mainly as material used in con- struction. The population, he stated, was composed principally of miners, and the nearest railroad in the West was Los Angeles, while to the east was Pueblo, Colo.
 The stage held the right of way for travelling, and the country was just beginning to cool down after a warm ten years of fighting the Apaches. Simon came into the country under conditions which were not only diff cult in establishing business relations with the few merchants, but the trip was perilous to life as we'll. He is still on the road, as genial today as in the long ago, and he informed many friends yesterday that so years of traveller to Prescott will be his goal. He has many thrilling "reminiscences to relate, and his physical vigor re- mains after his long treking to "see the folks"

 DEND; HAS IN TREASURY BIG SUM OF s. 537, ,341.6s
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Stockholders of the United Verde
 Extension Mining Co. have been ad- vised of the declaring of another dividend of SO cents per share pay, able after November 3rd, which was authorized at meeting held in New
 York City during the latter part of October. The official notification given to all stockholders of record of October 10th, is also accompanied by a letter which reviews mine con- ditions up to date, and among the more important matters mentioned are the following:
 The cash on hand October 10th was Sl,O1 ,34l.6S. and the amount due from ore shipped was approximately g. 00,000, making a total in the treas ury of S3,537, ,34l.6S. This sum does not include the disbursement made of 50 cents share.
 -hAhS NOIiNitiOiiS arc llcHtlOnCu as showing that development has pro- gressed favorably on the l,40O-foot level, and it is conservatively csti- mated that over 7OO,OOO tons of ore arc in sight between the 1,4OO-foot and the l,300-foot levels. Eight up- raises have reached the l,30O-foot level and assays of the ore exposed are better than the previous estimate of 16 per cent.
 On the l,30O-foot level something over 300 feet of drifts and crosscuts have been run in the ore body, but no upraise as yet has been extended to the l,20O-foot level. It is known, however that so far as development has progressed on the ,200-foot level that the large ore body does not reach that zone. The winze from the 400 foot level, after passing through IA feet of Is per cent ore and 46 feet of very low grade ore, encountered at l60 feet one of the bars of intrusive waste characteristic of the deposit. Sinking continues.
 The sinking fund in the treasury of over S3,sO0O0O is supposed to be for future disposition in shelter con. Struction, and expenses kindred thereto.
