(From ThnrSday's Daily.)

Mir. and Mrs. J. Marshall Morgan are soon to leave for Houston, Texas, probably to remain. The change of residence is due to lands of Mir. Nor gan, embracing several thousand acres reaching immense values from oil having been developed a short time ago. Sections have been leased to different operators and every tract has proven a flow of this article. Mir. Morgan made the investment over 2O years ago, buying from the State for a nominal price per acre. for the pur pose of engaging in the. cattle busi- ness and to have an asset for the future by developing water and culti- vating the soil. The oil area expand ing to include his holdings of over / ,0OO acres under one fence, has made investors eager to close deals. and for this reason this we'll known resi- dent has decided to leave Prescott.

BIC BUG CASE IS SETTLED BY A
 COMPROMISE
BENSCH IS ENTITLED TO PRIOR RIGHT TO WATER BUT MUST SHARE IT WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, so COURT RULES.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The long-drawn-out action of Bensch vs. Fletcher, wherein the plaintiff asked that the defendant be enjoined from using certain water in Big Bug creek, was settled yesterday evening, temporarily at least, when the court issued an order directing that the creek water, which is highly desirable for irrigation purposes, be used one-half of the week by the de- fendant and the remainder of the time by the plaintiff. The case was begun several weeks ago by Bensch, who alleged that he had appropriated certain water in the creek for irrigat- ing his adjacent land, and that later Fletcher had moved into the neigh borhood and started taking the water away from him.
 After hearing evidence for two days the court ruled that the plaintiff held the priority in the matter of appropri- ation, and was thereby within his rights in claiming the scanty flow ot the waters of the creek. However, in order that the crops owned by the defendant should not be damaged, the court ordered the plaintiff to share the water with Fletcher during cer- tain days of the week, measurements  recently made showing that there was apparently sufficient water to irrigate both places if it was used judiciously. According to yesterdays order, Bensch will be entitled to use the water from Wednesday evening until Monday morning, after which time the current must be turned into the ditchcs of the defendant.

(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The first large oil exploration move ment for Big Chino valley has ma tured by the arrival of a diamond drilling equipment, which IS to be placed in operation on the holdings of Mcssrs. Cunningham, Smith, Hard ing & Black, of Fl Paso.

It was brought from Ajo, where this firm ex- plored for copper, and proved an other mine for that belt.
 MT. Smith, one of the firm, stated that the introduction of this type oi a machine will more readily and eco nomically solve the problem whether an oil flow exists or not. It is be- lievcd the formation will permit of a depth to be given of over 60 feet per day, and if results arc successful a standard oil drilling rig will go in al once.
 The firm has secured large acre age south and cast of Valley, it. lands adjoining those of Carl Rees who is farming and cattle raising. Mir Smith is to arrive from Fl Paso to- morrow and will direct exploration

MINES WORKING
 DESPITE JOINT STRIKE

GLOBE, Sept. 7. - Globe Miami district mines are now all at work
 Although the joint strike of the l. U.
 NJ. NJ. & s. w. and the I. w. w. has
 not been called off, it is no longer a
 factor in the industrial situation in the district Federal troops make it possible for all men to work who de-
 sire to do so. The real trouble is the
 scarcity of American labor, other
 than which will not be employed in the district in the future. A great many Americans left the district just prior
 to the strike and during its first few weeks These have found employ
 mcnt elsewhere and not many of them will immediately return. Con- sequcntly the mines can get back but slowly to normal forces of operatives. The same condition prevails in other districts of the State wherein strike troubles have prevailed and repre- sents the largest damage inflicted up on industry by the strike organizers. It will not be overcome until there is again a supply of labor equal to de- mand, condition that, in view of the draft. is not near at hand
 Inspiration Copper Co. has four sections of its mill going. Miami Copper has half of its mill in opera ton. In all departments 1t has 700 men at work and will shortly be ready to take on the third shift. Old Dominion has more than 700 men on. It has its mill started and the smelter fires going. International Shelter IS about ready to fire up. cleaning out being nearly finished. All the smaller producing properties of the district arc at work and getting out ore. Several hundred more men than can be immediately taken on have been -ustling for jobs about the different this week. Selection ot those returning to work IS being made very carefully.

The mine is be- ing opened up in the meantime and as the showing has improved, I have decided to get better action by plac- ing a gasoline engine at the works. I will also hire miner, and keep pace with mining and milling as the situa- ton calls for"

PLANS FOR FAIR BEING RAPIDLY
 COMPLETED
WORK OF COLLEC C TING EXHIBITS H A s BEGUN AND IMPROVEMENTS ARE BEING MADE ON SEVER AL OF THE BUILDINGS.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

According to Secretary Grace NJ. Sparkes, the arrangements for holding the coming Northern Arizona fair in this city are shaping up in a most encouraging manner. Out at the fair grounds a number of improvements are under the course of completion, while others are about to be com mcnced, and in a few days the work on the new mining building will be started. A concrete floor is being put in the women's building, and the place is being entirely re-decorated and overhauled, so that when the big show opens, the department devoted to the things dear to the heart of the feminine visitor will be one of the most attractive places on the grounds.
 John Bianconi, fair commissioner for this county, has begun his work of collecting the exhibits which are to adorn the agricultural and horti- cultural sections, and in covering the county, Mir. Bianconi expects to visit practically every farm in Yavapai county and solicit products for the ex- hibits. Arrangements have been made with local cold storage firm for the keeping of all perishable arti- cles, and the, secretary of the fair states that all persons having exhibits which are in any manner perishable, the articles should be brought to the office of the secretary or sent in by Wells Fargo or parcels post. Such exhibits as melons, fruit, vegetables, etc, will be certain to remain in good condition if they are brought to the cold storage plant as soon as con- venient. The articles should be well wrapped so as to prevent their being broken or bruised in transit.
 The mining section is to be given much more attention this year than in former times, and Tom Marmont, who has charge of this department, will leave today on his trip through the various camps for the purpose of collecting the mineral specimens which are to be included in the list of exhibits. Every mining district in the county is to be visited by Mir. Mar mont, and this fact, together with the fact that all of the mining counties in the northern part of the State will send big exhibits, will insure an un- usually large and choice line of speci- mems for the department Anyone having specimens of minerals which they wish to display, can have them taken care of by sending them to the mining department of the fair, care of the chamber of commerce. All speci- mons and exhibits should be tagged with the sender's name, the location and name of the property from which the ore came, and statement of the nature of the sample. Arrangements have been made with the local order of Elks to use their club building as a depository for the samples until the time they are wanted at the fair grounds.
