BRADSHAW FIELD
 ON SOLID BASIS (Fror1 Friday's D,TvO

Ed. Block has returned from an in vcstigation of his mining interests near Crown King, and particularly the Fairview Extension, confirming reports of the good showing made by John Anderson, who is contracting. A shoot of high grade oxidized ore was struck short time ago. and Mir. Block states he has concluded to out lay additional capital to extensively develop, and feels very much encour- aged over the outlook. He said fur ther: There is a splendid state of affairs now prevailing from one end to the other of the Bradshaws, which indicates that mining is on a solid foundation, the practical is in evi- dence, and the progress of deep devel- opment is warranting the large outlay made; the situation is the best I have ever witnessed, and the coming year will in all probability sec the biggest and most prosperous gold mining di- vision in the State; the mines are there and capital and muscle are solv- ing the problem"

PLANS MATURING TO
 INCREASE CITY WATER
(From Wednesdays Daiiy.l

Investigation of the water resources of the old Majors ranch on Groom creek, is now being made by Mayor Timerhoff and other officials of the city, preparatory to taking action to utilize and conserve the large flow by means of a concrete storage dam.
 Saturday another inspection was made of this property, which was pur- chased by the city some months ago, and it is quite probable preliminary work will begin in short timc It is proposed to construct the dam at a point where the outflow comes from a series of living springs, and the stor- age capacity from this source will per init of lake of four acres with an average depth of ten feet, aggregating from l0,000,0O0 to 15,00O,000 gallons. A pumping plant from this point is also under consideration, with a lift of about 240 feet to the summit of the range, 5000 feet distant, and from that elevation a gravity flow to the Thorbeck ranch of 5000 feet below will be afforded. Connection then is to be made with the gravity pipe line from the latter place that supplies the city at present from the Banning creek shed.
 Prompting this movement is the desire of the city to eliminate as far as t is practicable the heavy expense in pu|nping regularly from Del Rio, especially during the dry seasons of the Fall and Winter months, when the Thorbeck source is limited. It was stated by city officials yesterday that <he flow at the Majors ranch is regular and does not vary to any ap- preciable extent when wet seasons are prevailing, and for this reason the project is favorably appealing to city officials to mature plans and begin action as soon as details can be ad- Justed. An analysis of the flow from the springs has been made and is pronounced as chemically pure, the source of the water being the Groom Creek range, lying to the east, and of an elevation as high as 7,500 feet. Where the springs are flowing on the Majors ranch, IS the only place on Groom creek where water is visible, at this time of the year.

CORNERING CORN
 OBJECTIONABLE TO PATRIOT
CFron Wednesdays DaiIy)

NIAOii W CuHC>udy DdllN.D
 There IS one farmer in Yavapai who refuses to be swayed from the path of patriotism by marketing his pro- ducts at a price never before offered, and his name is U. w. Bosley, of Fer guson valley. He has raised an un- usually large crop of corn this year, the heighth of which had never been attained in this section, reaching to over l4 feet, and while in the city yes terday this Is the emphatic manner in which he outlined what he would do with that product:
 Not stalk of the fodder nor an ear of the corn is to be sold on the market; ii Is all going to feed cattle, -aogs. chickens and turkeys for our Allies. l can clean up right now a good sum, but when patriotism is to be measured by dollars, I propose to stand pat and assist in the manner above outlined. I don't want the middleman to get in on the game by reaping a bigger profit from my labors than IS indicated by cornering the corn crop, so l will split the differ ence and make it ffty-hfty deal from the producer direct to the con- sumner, so far as that principle can be applied; ii prices hold up, I will quit ahead, and am satisfied to take a chance anyway"
 Mir. Bosley has been farming in this country for many years, and like many other tillers of the soil has been favored with fine season in growing crops, and will take the long road in stead of the short one to receive his reward, with patriotism the moving spirit.

POWER GOING INTO THE
 BRADSHAWS
STABILITY OF THE BIG MINING FIELD IS AT LAST RECOGNIZED, AND MANY MINES ARE ON THE CIRCUIT.
(Prom Fridays Daily.)

What is regarded as the most inn portant movement ever eventuating in the Bradshaws, so far as reiecting the future stability of mining, is the introduction of electricity for operat- ing plants. the Arizona Power Com pany, now having under construction q line from the DeSoto camp. The poles are laid to Crown King, and mines that are tapped are the Wild flower. War Eagle-Gladiator, Swas- tika, Spring Green, Lincoln, Gold King. Nelson, Zika. Crown King and others, which are in a direct line oi the power service going in.
 This movement is due to the sue cess made by the Bradshaw Develop ment Go. in solving milling of the complex ores of that field, and also to the excellent determinations which this firm has proven in making the Wildhowcr mine a remarkable prop crty. Future mine work IS now to be attended with minimum expense in operating machinery as against an expense heretofore which made this character of work burdensomc, re- sulting in lack of capital and limited development. The coming in of cleo tricity is already having a wholesome effect in plans maturing for old mines to resume and according to well founded reports a dozen properties will be active inside of the next 60 days.
 Arrivals from Crown King during the week stated the outlook for min ing could not be better than at pres cnt, and which is based on the large outlay being made in this power movement, with permanent operations assured

opinion was handed down by the judges. More blue ribbons were cap tured by Yavapai county than any other county represented at the fair. \ complete list of the prize winners will be printed by the Journal Miner within the next few days, so that the farmers throughout the county may know how their articles compared with those of other counties Thir- teen of the Arizona counties were represented in the agricultural hall, Mohave restricting her display entire ly to the mining department. That the commissioners who attended the Northern Arizona fair gained conSid- crable information as to the best methods of displaying their exhibits was easily noted by the manner in which the various counties compared with those from the north. Judge F.. F. Sandsten, Of the Agricultural Col legc of Colorado, was again the judge in this department, the entire building being managed capably and efficiently by Dr. Oscar (. Bartlett. Fair Com missioner John Bianconi is to be con graduated upon the splendid showing made by Yavapai county in the agri- cultural and horticultural department, while the mining display made under the direction and supervision of Sec retary Grace M. Sparkes, deserves worthy mention to say the least.
 One special baggage car for the transportation of the exhibits was given through the courtesy Of w. A. Drake, of the Santa Fe. That Yava- pal county was enabled to make such creditablc showing is due to the ac- ton of Messrs. Stephens, Stukey and Jaeger, the board of supervisors, in making the necessary appropriation so that the products of Yavapai coun- ty could be gathered and displayed to the best possible advantage by their representatives.

(From Wednesdays Daily)

Mike Mutich, some time of Jerome, leader among the Austrians, former deputy sheriff, and adventurer, is in the receiving hospital in Los Angeles with a fractured skull and other in- juries which make his recovery eN- tremely doubtful, the wounds having come as a result of Mikes attempt to terrorize a number of his countrymen in a pool room at Temple and Main streets, in the city of the angels.
 Mutich, who has until recently been a prominent figure in and around Jc- rome, went to the coast city several weeks ago, after conspiracy charges which had been filed against him by the United States authorities had been dismissed. Mike, who is about 90 years of age, and powerfully built man, was on duty as a deputy sheriff during the Wobbly troubles in the copper camp.
 His latest escapade, the news of which reached this city from the coast SAd4 NNu Oll sDAllddA. al which time he IS said to have attempt ed to bluff a couple of Austrians in the pool hall Two of the men attack ed Mike with clubs, and the big fel- low was nearly dead when the cops broke in and routed the rufians.
 According to one of the Los An geles morning papers, Mike had ac- quired considerable of a reputation as q gun man and all-around rough-necE, especially among his compatriots on the coast, and it was in an attempt to maintain his standing that the scrap of Sunday took place The paper which contained the account of the fuss, stated that the Los Angeles po- lice accused Mike of being the pos sessor of a criminal record as long as a mans arm. He is said to have been sent to the pen at San Quentin for robbing a man of S20, and that he later killed man at Bakersfield. Ar ter this, according to the police story. he fled to Arizona, and managed to bump off another man at Yuma, after which he was appointed deputy sheriff in another county.

DOC CAPTURED A FEW
 EVENTS AT THE FAIR
(From Fridays Daily)

Doc Pardee, who recently returned from Phoenix where he had been at. tending the State fair, states that ir the racing and roping events, the boys from lavapai county made some unusually good showings, and in fact came home with more than their share of the prizes.
 Doc had two of his favorite horses entered in the racing events, Tick Tack" and Vanity Fair" At the last minute it was decided not to race the iirst-named horse, and accordingly the pretty animal got rest instead of a workout. Vanity Fair" however, gave a good account of herself, and ir competition with some of the finest horseflcsh of the West, managed to drag home two second premiums and one third prize. Doc himself did pretty good, taking first place in re- lay COW horse event and grabbing off seventh money in the roping exer- ciscs.
 Other Yavapai county lads who brought home part of the bacon were: Lee Robinson, winner of the wild horse race; Tom Wells, winner of first place in two relay races, and Walter Cline, who took first in a re- lay and third in two other races.
