LOCAL MINING MEN
 FORM ORGANIZATION
(From Fridays Daiiv.)

Since the old Midnight Test mine has been revived and is now making a wonderful showing, interest has na- turally drifted to that field. During the week ten claims were located, on which development will begin at once. The prospective bononza owners are George Caulder, Henry Brinkmeyer, O. s. Wakeling, NJ. I. Damn and H. Miller. The latter has been appointed superintendent, and is equipped with practical ability of many years ex- perience. The location of the new group is to the north of the Midnight Test, and only three miles to the south of this city. The field is virgin and limited prospecting shows favor able conditions prevailing.

 EXHIBITS FOR STATE FAIR
(From Fridays DaiIy.)

Two carloads of exhibits left for
 Phoenix yesterday to be placed in the Yavapai county exhibit at the Arizona State Fair, which opens next Monday and lasts throughout the week. John
 Bianconi, who is to have charge of the agricultural exhibit and Grace Sparkes, who is to be in charge of the mining display, left early yesterday morning for Phoenix and will super intend the placing of the exhibits.
 Yavapai county has carried off the honors in the agricultural department for two years in succession and has become permanent owner of a hand some cup awarded by the fair associ- ation. An even more elaborate trophy is offered this year and this county has more than even chance of bring ing it back to Prescott. The agricul- tural exhibit this year far surpasses any the county has entered in previ- ous years. The mining display also has a varied assortment of rich ores which have been collected from Yava- pai's best mines. Mohave county claims to have one of the largest as- sortments of ores ever shown at a State fair and if this county carries away the honors in this department il will not be on account of lack of com petition.

CATTLE MARKET
Correspondence.

Special Correspondence
 KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, Nov. 6.-The strength shown on kill ing cattle last week held good today, sales strong to Is higher, stockers and feeders barely steady, receipts $500 cattle and 1000 calves. Hogs sold 10 higher to order buyers but packers kept up their fight and refused to pay more than steady prices. Sheep and lambs sold steady.
 Beef Cattle.
 he prime steer market has not been tested for week, but the right kind would sell up to SIPS. Short feds were the best here today, several sales at S925 to S965, medium kinds around SS5O. Good weight Okla homa and Kansas grass steers sold up to S9O, and Colorado beef steers weighing 975 to 1,06O sold at S.l0 to S.5O. The tendency is stronger on beef steers, which got the full ad- vance today, as killers fear drop in the supply within the next few weeks. Medium to good COWS sold strong, at S5.75 to &, canners in larger supply, but steady, at S435 to SASS. Local packers have been shipping in large numbers of cheap cattle to kill at their plants here. which they bought at lower prices than prevail here at St. Louis, Chicago and St. Paul.
 Stockers and Feeders.
 The market closed off 25 cents last week, with a fair number held over. Best kinds sold steady today, strings of yearlings from the district around Hereford, Texas, selling at &25 to $40, some pretty good Colorado yearlings at %.15. medium yearlings S625 to S6.75 feeders mostly at S6.S5 to I-z5, fleshy feeders up to S8.50. New Mexico yearling stock heifers sold at T75, stock COWS S525 to S6.50.
 Hogs.
 The market closed last week in a demoralized condition, but the open ing today was strong. early sales 10 higher, top So65, bulk of sales So.15 to S960, receipts 11,000. Receipts were liberal at all points last week and packers saw chance to begin their Winter packing season on a re- duced price basis, hence their stiff fight for lower prices. Whether or lOl lillS DICdk VIII SllCk ucpcIuS OH volume of receipts. Total supply at the five leading markets today is 78,- coo, as compared with l0l, 900 last Monday. and if the country can keep up that kind of regulation of the re- ceipts for little while the market will doubtless regain recent losses.
 Sheep and Lambs.
 The supply of 1000 head contained nothing choice, fair to good lambs selling at S1090 to S1105. with the added advantage to sellers that fills were good. A few native lambs sell up to Sl1, and fat ewes are worth g to &.35. A few short fed lambs are coming, not very we'll finished, and selling at S10.50 to S1075, money making prices for feeders. The first storm will bring in a good run out of corn fields, which might cause tenn porary break, hence it might be wise to ship before the first storm comes. Feeding lambs bring S9.35 to So75, ,hoice light feeders up to Sl0.

DIVING GIRLS TO BE
 FEATURE OF THE FAIR

PHOENIX, Nov. S.-There1l be the prettiest, shapeliest and niftiest collection of diving girls ever gath cred together in this State performing every afternoon and evening at the Arizona State Fair in Phoenix, No vember 13 to IS, inclusive.
 The charming mermaids are the stellar attraction of the great water carnival of the Rice & Wortham shows that have been exhibiting at many of the State fairs throughout the country All over the East the grace, ability and beauty of the Wor- tham water nymphs have been com plimented upon.
 If the press notices are to be be- lieved, and they are from reputable journals in many Of the East's largest cities, the collection of diving girls that will show here this year will ex cell by far the performers of past years at the State Fair.
 Wherever they have executed their aquatic performances in other cities they have been the banner attraction and have always done their turns" before capacity audiences.
 Several of the girls hold diving records, long distance swimming rec ords and various other honors that have been won as a result of their pronounced ability They will do all of these things in the mammoth tanks at the Arizona State Fair.
 Girls diving from high platforms on the back of horses, diving hand cuffed in sacks and doing a score of other difficult stunts, certainly will prove the banner attraction of the water carnival at the Arizona State Fair. They will also swim races and exhibit all of the many strokes used by the best professional swimmers.

DECIDE ON LARGE
 MINE OPERATIONS
From Sundays Daily.)


 w. H. Jones, superintendent of the Little Jessie in Chaparral, IS in the city and gives a favorable report of that property since unwatering has permitted exploration of the old lev els, where new ore bodies of high grade values in gold are being opened.
 The 3S5-foot point has been reach ed, and when a depth in the main shaft of GAO feet IS reached, sinking to the l,000-foot level has been decided upon by the company. This action is due to all upper levels carrying larger and richer ore bodies than were antici- pated. The new move for the Jessie is financed for all development planned.
