No Request Yet Received.

Members of the Board of Education
said no request from the association
for the use of the schools, or protest
from the Merchants Association, had
been received. They said, however,
that il the proposed use of the schools
conformed with the requirements
necessary to the granting Of permits
sion for the use Of school, there
would be no question that permission
would be given.
It was planned by the association
to place in each of the schools con :
cerned a barrel of apples, to be sold
to the children as well as to the par
ents. A small profit would result,
which would be turned over to some
school activity. This would be with
in the rule Of the board which re-
quires a percentage Of all funds de-
rived from the use of school build
ings be given for the purpose stated.

TWO HOUSES GO DOWN
 GULCH IN JEROME
(From Fridays Daiiy.)

Arrivals yesterday from Jerome re ported cloudburst as doing consid- erable damage Tuesday afternoon, two residences in the path of the heavy downpour being washed down the side hill, and completely destroy ed. The Wynkoop home situated near the Catholic church was com- plctcly demolished and all its contents strewn down the gulch for half a mile. Consternation prevailed among housewives, and an exodus was threat ened, but the people were pacified and precautions taken to avert similar occurrence, so far as possible. Con siderable damage was done to roads in that region. The downpour is said to have been the heaviest ever known in that district.

OIL EXPERT APPROVES
 DEL RIO DISTRICT
(From Saturdays Daily.)

T. B. Bassett, mining engineer of national prominence, recently com plcted an examination of some oil properties in the Del Rio district in which A. A. Fairchild and other Phoe- nix people arc interested, and in his preliminary report which has just been submitted, he says:
 q am in accord with other engi- necrs who have visited this district and studied the geology. noted the mechanical difficulties which always accompanied the sinking of pioneer wells in any district, and believe that this field will be a proven one.
 There have been those who de- cried the possibility of finding oil in this field; these dissenting opinions have generally arisen from arguments overheard in the discussion of oil lands in general. the principal topic being the broken condition of the eX- posed strata, allowing the conversion of oil into gas and its ultimate escape. In this field the physical conditions rcfutcd this. There are no evidences of shattered or crushed conditions ol the formation"

JUDGES SPLIT'ON
 DECISION ON PARDEE
(Flom Fridays Daily.0

That the decision by which Johnny Dobbins was made chief champion broncho buster, was not unanimous, leaked out last evening, when it be- came known that Sterling Hummer, one of the three judges, had refused to sign the award. Plummer's reason was that he believed from the marks on Big Sid's shoulders, that Doc Pardec, the 19l6 champion. had cer- tainly qualified. Moreover, Hummer believed that Doc made the best ride of the week and that his work during the entire contest entitled him to the second wearing of the medal.
 This was extremely interesting, so Mir. Hummer was asked to make a statement. All he said was this:
 q have $500, and can ind plenty more, that says Doc" Pardec can outride any broncho buster that can be brought to Prescott. The same money also says that he can ride any horse in the string here. and can ride him to a cold, hard, unoompromising finish

ably be acted on this year. That is, things will have to be done to make it easier on the men who get the bucking horses and steers ready. A new and larger corral, with divisions for the various classes of riding stock. and new chutes that will make the saddling of bad actors more safe and easy, will be needed badly.
 Some of the cowpunchers who watched the bucking from the chutes this week have declared themselves in favor of an entirely new arrange ment for the benefit of the spectators. It is true that the bucking IS much more spectacular when viewed from the vicinity of the chutes, than 1t is from the grandstand. It has been suggested, that in rearranging things, the association raise the grandstand and put the corrals behind 1t, so the chutes can lead out from under the place where the boxes are now locat- cd. This would give the occupants of the grandstand the rear view that has been described as hundred per cent more thrilling than that now available
 The present arrangement for the calf-tying is probably the best, for 1t gives the people in the stands a chance to see the race between horse and salf all the way to the finish.
 Talk about enlarging the grounds and building a mile track has again been revived. This improvement would be expensive, but with the proper kind of promotion, three years of auto and horse racing would repay the original investment, or so much of it that the first cost would not be excessive. Auto racing would prob ably be better during the fall for the Northern Arizona fair, for then bet ter booking of we'll known drivers could be secured.

MANGANESE MINE MAKING FIRST
 SHIPMENT
SAID TO BE ONLY PROP ERTY IN ARIZONA OF THIS M E TALLIC CHARACTER THAT'S ACTIVE AND MAR KETING PRODUCT.
(From Saturdays Daiiy)

The first known manganese mine in Arizona to reach the stage of ship per is the one owned by C. E. Cham pie, located in Castle Creek district, about two miles from the Castle Hot Springs resort.
 This property is practically proven from development and the owner stat ed yesterday the first shipment of a carload begins moving early next week for the s. F. F. & P. railroad, consigned to a Philadelphia buyer The lot will average 45 per cent, and the second car Is on the dump to be loaded later The greatest depth reached is by shaft of S0 feet, but system of tunnels at other points practically insures an inexhaustible tonnage The manganese does not carry any silica and is pronounced by chemical authorities to be of an ex- ccptionally high grade, thus reducing treatment charges to minimum.
 Mr. Champie stated that as far as it was possible to discern the vein is permanent and averages nearly three feet in thickness at the point under development, and apparently the grade is getting better as depth is be- ing reached. Where the property is situated is inaccessible to teams, and slow headway is being made in de- livery owing to the lack of pack ami mals. To the railroad is over 24 miles, but delivery IS under way and the heavy transportation expense is off, set by the high grade of the ore.

Almost v years old to a day, Mrs. Frances Birch, mother of Robert and Sidney Birch of this city, passed away at 2:2O yesterday afternoon Joseph Birch, her husband, who also lives here, is an invalid, and has been bed-ridden for over two years.
 In the passing of Mrs. Birch, a woman of great Christian devotion is lost and whom to know was to love. Up to the time she became too old to engage actively in church work, she was an ardent worker in the Episcopal church, under the auspices of which she will be buried tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock.
 Mrs. Birch was born in County Wicklo, Ireland, on July II, lS4O. At the age of eight, she was taken by her parents to Ottawa, Canada, where she lived until 1880. In that year, she removed to North Dakota, where she lived until 1908, coming then to Prescott, where she has lived with her husband and son, Sidney ever since
 Mrs. Birch gave II children to the world; nine of them grew to maturity. Six of them survive her. They arc her sons, Robert, Sidney and William, her daughters, Mrs. J. C. Carl of Car lisle, x. D.; Mrs. c. A. Stevens of Dubuque, Iowa, and Miss Frances

JULY 4TH CROWDS
 WERE RECORD BREAKERS
(From Saturdays Daily.)

The estimate of 6,OOO people for the Wednesday crowd at the fair grounds was an accurate one. Fig urcs from the gates showed that the Fourth of July attendance in the grandstand stood at just about that number. This was the largest one days crowd in the history of the cele- bration, which is now five years old, and planning its sixth birthday
 The growing popularity of the Wild West sports in Prescott at the season when this climate is the most desirable in the world to the inhabit- ant of the scorched south, will prob ably force the association to extend its facilities for taking care of crowds before another year. \ new grand stand of much larger proportions is a necessity, and if the Northern Ari- zona Fair this year, proves as big as Frontier week, the additions or the will have to be started before very long.

BIG MOVEMENT IN LOCATING
 O|L LANDS
YER 25,000 ACRES IN BIG CHINO VALLEY TAX EN UP IN PAST 2 WEEKS; FIVE COMPANIES FORM ED; 8 RIGS COMING.
(From Saturdays Daily)


 During the past ten days over 25,- GOO acres of land have been located in Big Chino valley, and five operat- ing companies have been formed to drill for oil. The lands taken over were inspected by oil engineers of California and New York, and the re- zion passed upon and showing fav- orable indications is situated some distance from Valley, or where the Chino Valley Oil Company has rig in action. The sedementary forma- ton was selected, where no Assures exist, this action being authorized by the oil experts, and endorsed by those who are to place their holdings under development.
 The lively movement was mention ed yesterday by C. L. Dunbar, prom inently known mining man of Mo have county, with whom is associated oil operators of California. MT. Dun bar comes to Prescott to close up title matters and stated his company is now practically ready to begin moving ahead, rig being en route from Los Angeles. New York City and Phoenix capital is also interested in the company and five sections have been acquired.
 Other oil companies organized and which will begin work in a short time arc the New York Oil Syndi- cate, the Hayes Oil Company, The Arizona Verde Company, and the Harvey Holm Company.
 The new locators have been guided solely in selecting sites for exploring by determinations made in other oil fields, avoiding as far as possible for nations where dykes penetrate, and going into those sections where val ley lands have proved desirable in sedementary makeup and without any apparent disturbance having talk on place through volcanic or other uphcavals to create quartz Assures or kindred conditions.
 Mir. Dunbar also stated that three rigs are being assembled at present in Los Angeles, and it is quite prob able five outfits will be actively drill ing inside of 60 days, all within sight of each other.
 The recent inspection made of that country by set of five engineers, said to be representatives of the Standard Oil Co.,, it is inferred is be- hind the new movement for exploring the sections taken over by those who are following this line of business.
