HORSE ROUNDUP IS
 PLANNED IN THIS STATE

ALBUQUERQUE, \. NJ, June 20.-A great number of range horses in the southeastern parts of Navajo and southwestern portions of Apache counties of cast central Arizona are suffering from dourine. The disease is highly contagious and usually re- suits in the gradual cmaciation and final death of the animal affected.
 At present 1t seems to be more or less localized and confined to the eastern half of the Sitgrcaves na- tional forest and small area in the northwestern portion of the Apache national forest.
 Last May decided effort was made by the members of the Showlow Stock Growers Association and the |. $. bureau of animal industry in conJunc- ton with the State of Arizona and the L. :. forest service to eradicate the disease. \ roundup of all horses on the affected area was attempted but as many of these horses arc ab- solutcly wild only partial success was attained. So manyiof the wild horses in the roughcr and timbcrcd areas cludcd the cordon seeking to enclose thcm that the work will have to be done over.
 MI parties concerned are agreed that it k essential to absolutely cradi cate the disease from the range. X new roundup iS planned and by a more general participation of the stockmcn and use of additional equip mcnt. il is hoped to capture the greater number of horses in this large area. Those animals not en- closed in the roundup but suscepti- blc to the disease will in all proba- bilily have to be hunted down singly and killed on the open range.

(From Fridays Daily)

The long-promiscd reJuvenation of the Big Ledge Copper Company has apparently materializcd, and follow ing yesterdays meeting of the stock holders of this corporation. 1t was an nounced that an entirely new dircc- toratc had been elected and the con- trol of the organization had definitely passed into the hands of the Com solidatcd Interstate-Ca Callahan Mining Company of Idaho, the last-namcd corporation being one of the larg- est and strongest mining organiza- tions in this country. The new direc- torate comprises the following named: John A. Pcrcival, president of the Interstate Callahan, and Jos cph B. Cotton of New York City, s. s. Titus of Grand Forks, N D.. and Milie Bunnell. Charles Batre, A. L. Warner and NJ. c. Rodcarmel, all of Duluth, Minn.
 The announcement that the big Idaho corporation had secured control of the Big Ledge organization and that the new owners would finance a somewhat elaborate scheme of de- velopmcnt in the mine and smelter properties of the ncar-dcfunct cop per company. did not come as a sur prise to those who had been familiar with the inner workings of the Yava- pal copper. The financial affairs of the Big Ledge under the direction of Batrc and the late Ernest Le Due of Duluth had not been the most TO- seate, and fl was an open secret that unless some plan for further financ ing fhe corporation was found, its future operation would be more or less doubtful Batre. who was for merly vicc-prcsident of the company, steps out of office and will have to be content with a place as director. The block of 3C0,0G0 shares of the company's stock formerly owned by LeDuc is reported 10 have passed into the hands of the Interstate Callahan crowd. and this holding, to- gcther with other blocks Of securities which they were able to procure from various sources has given them the control oi the Big Ledge
 That the Big Ledge is a meritor- ious proposition none can doubt, but the operation of the big copper com pany on Big Bug creek has never en- countcrcd smooth sledding. At one time several years ago, the stock of the company went as high as SS on the New York Curb, but the sccuri- ties are now said to be worth from Sl to SIPS. The recently circulated report that the big Idaho organiza- ton under the direction of Alr Per 6iyal was about to take over the property had the effect of whooping

BRIBERY CHARGE PROVEN
 AGAINST FRANK TAYLOR
(From Sundays Daily

Frank E. Taylor, who for the past two days had been on trial in the Superior court on charge of at tempting to bribc two officers. was found guilty yesterday evening, the jury returning its verdict after it had been out about an hour Taylor and his partner. John Wilson. were ar rested in April by Deputy Sheriff O. \. McDcrmid and Constable Speer oi Camp Verde, both of the men be- ing nabbcd for transporting booze. The officers started to bring them to Prescott 10 couiinc them in the county jail. and the prisoners are said to have produced a large roll of bills and offered it 10 McDcrmid if he would consent to turn them loose. The cop took the money and then brought the men to Prescott and lodged them in the county jail. The bribc money was locked up in the sheriffS safe.
 The defendant took the stand yes tcrday morning and told the court that he admitted paying the SSS0 to Officer McDcrmid. but that he only intended the money as cash bail. lnasmuch ss the payment was made al , a. m. and at location about 20 miles from Prescott. the defend ants story apparently did not carry much weight with the iurymcn. and the verdict of guilty was speedily reached. Wilson will be tried on the same charge at a later date.

STATE YIELD OF WHEAT WILL BE
 ABOVE AVERAGE
UNUSUALLY GOOD CON- OPTIONS MAY RESULT IN CROP OF NEARLY A MILLION BUSHELS BE- ING PRODUCED.

PIOENIX, June 20-Thc condi- ton Of wheat in Arizona June was 80 per cent of normal crop, l.. NJ. Harris. field agent at Phoenix for the bureau of estimates of the United States department of agriculture, states in his report
 He forecasts crop of 942,NOO bushels. The production last year was S25,O00 bushels. and in 1915 the crop totaled l.l6O.OOO bushels. That this years production will exceed last years k considered as most grati- flying to both the government and the grower. and this fact is all the moro emphasized through the difficulties the growers have passed in bringing this crop 10 maturity.
 In Maricopa and Yuma counties the crop is very good but in other coun- ties if is below the average. says Mr Harrison in his report The below average" Mr. Harrison explains, is due to lack oi water and damage from insects.
 Oats acreage in Arizona shows an increase or lu per cent, according tO thc government estimate Other est iinatcs made by Mr. Harrison, in cludc those on barley, hay and fruit.
 Is to oats acreage. he says Ii 900 acres were planted this year, which compares with lOOOO acres last year and with 5000 acres aS fvc-year average. The total production this year should be I30,O0O bushels. This compares with +0OOGO bushels last year and 5000 bushels in 1910.
 The barley crop in Arizona will be about lO20.Ono bushels This is l25.- O0O bushels less than produced m 19lz The acreage this year Is about 30,000, compared with 23,p0 acres

 CONTROL OF b|G LEDGE
Directors Meeting Held In Prescott Yesterday Results
 In Many Changes

I the price of Big Ledge stock from a 60-cent level to the figures above mentioned, and in financial circles il was assumed that should the Inter state interests take over the prop erty, its operation would at once be started on larger scale than the property had ever known.
 Many stories and reports of the pending rehabilitation of the Big Ledge had from time to time been current in the New York financial district, and by reason Of the fact that LeDuc was unfortunately never able to deliver" on any of his prom iscd financing plans. many of the brokers were led to believe that the story that the Interstate was to be- come interested in the property was mythical. It was in August, 1917, when the doubling of this concerns capital was first preached, the officers of the B. L. having announced. it is said, that powerful western banking interests had been lined up to back the property to the extent of Sl,- 100000 The banking interests, how ever, failed to materialize and a short while later the Big Ledge substituted Enrich & Go. of New York as its fiscal agents in place of John Borg, a substitution which, it is alleged, did not attain the ends which the management had hoped for.
 It was long contended' by the enc mics of Batre that while he was a mighty good iron ore man, his eXper- fence in managing copper property was not the most extensive in the world.
 The control of the Big Ledge by the Interstate organization is said to have been consummated about two weeks ago. but the first indications Of the successful termination of the deal came yesterday when it was an nounced that the directorate would be composed principally of share- holders in the Idaho corporation. President PercivaI was in Prescott about six weeks ago, at which time 1t Is presumed he made a final in- spcction of the local holdings Of the Big Ledge and pronounced them worth having. Besides the group of mining claims owned by the outfit, a good sized smelter, never fully completed. is an asset of the corpora ton. While the property is being operated, it is going ahead on very limited scale, and the shelter has never been operated. With the finan- cial assistance which the Idaho or ganization will be able to give this big project, there is reason to be- licvc that the next year will see some rather interesting developments at the property.

WELL OF UNITED CHINO
 OIL CO. BEING CASED
CFrom Saturdays Daily)

The work of easing up the well at the property of the United Chino Oil & Refining Company was started this week. and yesterday evening it was stated by those who had visited the well during the day that the irst string of casing had been in- stalled. The putting in of the casing will eliminate the trouble which had been caused during recent weeks of losing the string oi drilling tools. l. seems that after d depth of 700 or 500 feet was reached, the well did d lot of caVing, as much as six feet in some places, and with this Situa- ton prevailing, Il was no easy matter to recover the drilling apparatus after il had broken loose from the cable which connected il with the up- per world. With the casing in place the job of recovering the drill point and shank will be nothing very ser ious.
 General Manager \. M. Mcclellan will leave on Sunday for New York Cily where, il k stated, he will com- plclc the final arrangements for the listing of the stock on the Curb mar kct. One ot the largest brokerage firms in Gotham is 10 take over the proposition, and stockholders arc hoping that there will be material rise in the value of the stock follow ing thi= deal.
