CLOSE GUESSES HAD
 ON STEERS WEIGHT
Two People Are Tied For the Roast, offered by Miners
 Meat Market.

When two people guess within a fraction of a pound of the correct dressed weight of a mammoth, Salt River Valley fed steer, their prognos ticating abilities are comparatively marvellous. This is what occurred when the guesses were investigated in the contest held at the Miners Grocery and Meat Market, yesterday afternoon.
 The steer, in question, was one of the largest ever seen in the District. Dressed, the front and hind kuarters weighed 93S% pounds. From the weight alone the animals size may be shown. For several days the store conducted a guessing contest at which many hundred opinions weer offered. Fred Kaminski and John Mador tied, guessing the weight within a fraction of a pound at 9331a. These two will have to argue the result out, with the proprietors of the establishment. The rward, in the case, was ten pound roast.

REDMOND COMPANY MAKES BIG HIT AT
 CENTRAL THEATRE
Stock Company Gives Excel lent Play in Bought and Paid For" ''Fine Feathers" Tonight.

Lovers of the more serious form of drama enjoyed a real treat at the Cen tral theatre in Lowell last evening at the initial performance of the Ed. Red mond Company. the play being
 Bought and Paid For" one of the fore most successes of the latest dramatic season.
 Patrons of the Central bad the Op- portunity not only of seeing a good play, but a good play well played. The performance of the members of tho Redmond Co. is deserving of the high est praise, as the presentation of this drama is attended with difficulties of no small nature, and fl is to the com pany's credit that those difficulties were in every case capably surmopnt- ed.
 The acting of Miss Audell Higgins as Virginia Blaine calEed forth the highest encomiums from her audience. The part she depicted requires histron ic ability of no small order. and Miss Higgins was most effective in the tense emotional scenes which it was her part to portray throughout the piece, while at times the tragic ele- ment in her role was relieved by flashes of humor so well done as to proclaim her aa artiste of unquestion- ed ability.
 Miss Eleanor Blevins as Fannie Blaine delighted her auditors with the vivacity and sprightliness of her work. though when the occasion required it she showed that her strength was not confined to comedy alone.
 Miss Marvin Hammond was dainty and pleasing in the part of the maid, and while her role might be consider ed a minor one. it was pleasing to note that she played it with as much care and ability as might be called for in more conspicuous place.
 Mir. Hugh Metcalfe as Robert Staf- ford was strong throughout and his acting in the third act especially drew forth the admiration of the audience. His enunciatiOn was distinct and his fine stage presence a factor in produc- ing a strong impression.
 The comedy of Mir Roscoe Karns was thoroughly appreciated and form ed pleasing relief in play which ar

COMMONWEALTH EX. LOOKS MIGHTY coon
 TO STOCkHOL DERS
Party of Eleven Shareholders in Pearce Property Visit Mine Saturday and Return. with Good Reports.

That the future of the Common wealth Extension mine. located at Pearce and controlled by interests in Bisbee, has a particularly bright flu ture, is the opinion Of eleven stock holders and directors of the company who, on Saturday. visited the proper ty.
 The party making the trip included the following: M J. Brophy, M. J. Gun ningham, Dr. F. E. Shine, w. B. Goh- ring, J. $. Williams, J. l.. Cannon, Rob ert Hennessy, Thomas Blair, Gus Hic- key. John Pemberthy and Charles Cor bett
 According to the investigation of the property it was found that a four foot ledge of S15 silver and gold ore had heen opened on the 225 level. This is a continuation of the vein found on the levels above. The development work. so far, has not been carried to any great length in determining the extent of the ore chute but it is con sidered certain that the amount of ton mage. commercial in character. is con siderable.
 The company at once will begin sinking another fifty feet in the shaft and then crosscut from that point, seeking another continuation of the vein found on the 225 level. If all in dications are realized this level will prove the property and will make of ii what the many stockholders have long thought it-another Commonwealth.
 A fe wof the party, on Saturday. made a trip through the Common wealth mine. which is said to be in very prosperous condition. Not Q small part of the enjoyment of the trip was had by the Bisbee people from the many haps and mishapa which occurred to various and sundry tires on the way back to Bisbee, which place was reached late Saturday night.

SUCCESSFUL MEET HELD BY ST0CKMEN
 FROM OVER COUNTY
Cochise County CattleInen's Association Hold Conven- ton in Benson. Urge That Improvements be Made.

BENSON, March 6. - (SpeciaD - One hundred or more cattlemen, iron every part of Cochise county, met here today to attend the session oi the Cochise County Cattlemen's As sociation. The conference was one oi the most successful ever held. both from the point of attendance adn i'm portance of the work accomplished.
 The officers, chosen for the Follow ing year, are: president, B. J. Mchin ney, San Pedro Valley; secretary treasurer, Ii. L. Johnson, Wilcox; first yice-presidant, Dave Adams, Ora goon; executive committee, James D. Cook, Wilcox; Tim Blevins, Chirica- hua; Fred Bonnet, Tombstone; Will jam Lutley, Tombstone. and Frank Moore, Fucker. Wilcox was chosen for the next meeting of the associa- tion which is scheduled to take place the first Monday in the coming August.
 Several resolutions were passed during the session. The first asks the board of supervisors of Cochise county to pay the bounty on coyotes, as provided by law. Another request ed the Live Stock Sanitary Board, of Phoenix, to have the brand book re- modelled and reissued at once. A third placed the Association on record as favoring the initiation of a law which would compel the railorads, oi the state, to pay for killing cattle, re- gardless of whether it occurs on the right of way or on crossing. It was also resolved that, when the owner ship of cav or cattle could not be established the money be paid into the treasury of the Live Stock Sani- tary Board. Another resolution thank ing the citizens of Benson for the royal welcome accorded the visiting cattlemen and their families.
 The general feeling among the stockmen appears to be that the sea son of 1916 will be one of the most prosperous in the history of the cat tie business in Cochise county. The ranges appear to be in excellent con dition and there is every indication for a continuation Of a top market for the products of the range. To night an orchestra, from the Tenth cavalry, stationed at Fort Huachuca, furnished music for a big dance which closed the session.
