 SHELDON TO RESUME
(From Wednesdays Daily)


 After an absence since early in the year in New York City, Mark Bradley returned yesterday to Prescott, and made announcement that two very important mining movements for this field had been successfully closed, the resuming of the Sheldon on Lynx creek and the Prince Albert on Groom creek.
 There is to be no delay in getting the latter shaped up for immediate action, he stated, and in short time the former will again wheel into line Tn both cases ample capital has been subscribed for carrying out large op- erations. Mir Bradley stated that f- nancial affairs for several weeks in the East were disturbed so far as West ern mining investments were con cerned, owing to the country entering the war, but this situation is being relieved readily of any anxiety so far as the future figures and mining mon ey is again proving popular The lib- erty Loan also handicapped invest ments, but this matter being settled, it was his belief that desirable propo- sions in the mineral industry would meet with favor henceforth. In an of the Prince Albert resum- ing in a few days the underground workings have been kept unwatered for several weeks, while with the that property in a short time also will be in condition for prepara- tory development to begin, and later a very extensive line of deeper work is to be planned and energetically | prosecuted.
 Mir. Bradley brings news that min ing in Yavapai is becoming generally | known for the big successes made | during the past year, and he antici- pates large capital as ready and will ing to enter this popularly known field.

THWART PLAN 0F FOOD THIEVES
 THEIR AIM

TUCSON, June ?. - In order to thwart the plans of food speculators who are seeking to contract far in ad- vance for the grain crops of the State farmers are being asked to avoid making such contracts and it is being pointed out to them that they might as well get the profit from the in- crease in food prices as the specula- tor In other words they are being shown that if it a good thing for the speculator to buy mp the crops, then it is good thing for the farmer to hold on to them and take the profit which the speculator would otherwise make.
 Fair profits to the farmer will en- courage food production this Fall and next Spring and will keep prices nor nal. If spectators succeed in tying up the grain crops, prices will be ab- normal and the farmer will not get the return he is entitled to.
 The Arizona Council of Defense is investigating wherever possible re- ported speculation in food production and pitilcss publicity will be applied to those who take advantage of the war situation to extort abnormal pro- fits from the consumer

APACHE COWBOY
 TOURNAMENT A SUCCESS
(From Thursdays Oailv)

(from IhuTSC2yS Dailv) Yavapai cowboys who have return
 ed to Prescott after participating 1T
 the Apache county tournament held
 last week at Springerville, eXpres,
 themselves as very much pleased with
 the fairness of the event, and the hos pitality extended all visitors. The
 occasion, however. lost its local mean ing and it became better known as
 pr. Osborn's Frontier Days. from the
 able manner in which this Verde
 resident conducted one of the best shows ever given in Arizona.
 The local experts divided honors with other range artists, and the purses aggregating over S2,0OO found an even break. The attendance each day of the three averaged 600, and as remarkable as it may seem. there was not the slightest discord in the award ing of prizes. This was due mainly to Dr. Osborn, who is an old hand in running open-air celebrations and knows the temper of the public as we'll as the tricks in the game.
 The roping event was won by Heck Marley, of Winslow. his average for three calves being 5 seconds.
 Bert Golfer, of Apache county, won the relay race, while l.. C. Bennett, of Prescott, came along a close second. Bert Golfer also captured the cowpony race in quartcr-mile dash.
 Tick Tack, of Prescott, owned by Doc" Pardee, won the 30O-yard dash, with Pancho, owned by Pat of Apache, second.
 Tick Tack also was first in another quarter-mile dash, and Vanity Fair, another Pardee runner, which was ridden by Mrs Henry Ritter. Of Hill side logged under the wire second. Five horses started in this event.
 The amusing feature of the last day was when the horses were SCOT ing. Dr. Osborn stepped to the front of the grandstand, where 1000 peo- pie were restless as the steedS failed 10 get off, and announced that he would wrestle any man in Arizona !. or the fun of the thing, catch-as- | ,atch-can rules.

The winner stated to the crowd hat he followed the training of ath- etes in his youth, and wrestling was is speciality in physical culture.

Saving Waste.

A serious situation confronts the Arizona Council of Defense in the Salt River valley, relative to the per, ishable fruits which are ripening faster than the market can take care of them. Thousands of tons of apri- cots and plums would have been lost in the Salt River valley had not the council of defense taken immediate steps to check the loss. Miss Grace l. Tufts IS spending the greater part of her time at headquarters of the council in the State house, answering calls of persons who are appealing for help to save their fruit Organ ized work in the shape of a clearing house plan is in charge of Miss Tufts, and volunteers are called upon to gc to the orchards and pick the fruit for canning or drying. Under this plan, the conservation of apricots and pl,sns has been very successful, but there is still going to be some loss.
 Through the new commission which has charge of State institutions, a squad of men were sent from the asylum to pick apricotS which were later shipped to the penitentiary. in dustrial school and the Pioneers Home. The boys battalion, which is now engaged in farm work in the Salt river valley, was also pressed into service to pick fruit for their own use

A small plat map is made in the office and designated to cover 2 specific territory.
