YAVAPA| YOUTHS ARE DESTINED
 ID bE RICH
PICK WOOL FROM THE DEAD CARCA ES OF SHEEP ON DESERT, WITH THEIR NDS, AND REALIZE BIG SUM.
(From Tuesdays Oaiiy.)

That old adage, Its an i'll wind that blows nobody good" is applica- blc to one of the most unusual incl dents along business lines which has ever been known in this section.
 Two youths of southern Yavapai became aware of a splendid oppor- tunity which suddenly arose to make some money as sheep were dying by the score west of Congress June ton. They conceived the idea of picking the wool from dead carcasscs and made a bargain with a commits sion merchant to dispose of the fleece at a price of 60 cents pound; Go ahead boys, and get the goods; I'll take it all, provided you give bill of sale,' he said to conclude the deal, and away he went to Phoenix lcav- ing behind his hotel address. The two boys put packs on their burros and struck out Returning home at 900 o'clock that night they had cleaned up 43 pounds by the hand clip route They persisted diligently and neither shirked for over two weeks in picking with their fingers enough of the wool to weigh over 400 pounds. The product was sacked and shipped to Phoenix con signed. to the buyer at his hotel Six days later came back a check for S750, which caused these youthful fn- anciers to chucklc with delight
 They would have persisted in the wool business, but the stock of goods run out, owing to so many animals being too far advanced in decay to permit of work continuing. The boys after the check was honored at Phoe- nix formed tight co-partnership and swung into the Liberty class, buying a $500 bond, on a fifty-ffty combine.
 The sheep had been abandoned by the owners after their death, and if the wool clip had been of a good grade these boys would have been paid nearly Sl 500. These youths are waiting for comeback among sheepmen, but as yet there has not developed any intimation that such q move Is contemplated. The sheep have long passed the period of iden- tihcation, and several owners say they are pleased that somebody has pros percd by their bad luck.
