CHINESE BANDITS BUSY

TOKYO, July l6.-Advices from Antung, Manchuria, on the border of northern Korea. tell of continued out rages by Chinese mounted bandits on the upper reaches of the Yalu river. A band of several hundred raided the police station at Changbu and carried away arms and ammunition. On the following day the residences of the wealthy people were attacked and sacked of their, contents. Subse- quently about 20 persons, including officials of a lumber mill, were car ried off by the bandits as hostages, probably for the purpose of ransom. The Chinese government has or ganized a punitive expedition.

OIL BOOM WAVE HTS SOUTHERN
 YAVAPAI

The purpose of the movement south of Congress Junction, about seven miles distant, at the railroad station of Flores, where surveyors have been at work for some weeks, is now revealed, and the filing yester- day of GA oil locations launches what is destined to be the biggest oil un- dertaking ever known in the state.
 The initial acreage taken over is ten sections, and there are affixed to the documents in the county re- corder's office 128 names.
 Today another batch of locations will receive official consideration. when a total of 42 sections of land will be absorbed for oil exploration. The signatures attached to each loca- ton show that those identified with this huge movement are from Cali fornia, Nevada. Oklahoma, Texas and Arizona, and the immense acreage is segregated into two legally organized companies.
 Representing the big combination is T. w. AIarlow, who said on his visit to Prescott yesterday;
 There will be installed immedia- tely two of the best equipped rigs that can be purchased, and I am leav- ing this afternoon for Los Angeles to make the purchases, to return in- side of a week. This government do- main is unoccupied, and not a single habitatoin exists. neither is there any mineral in evidence so far as the surface shows.
 Our geological engineers have re- ported favorably and on thei rrecon- mendation the vast acreage above stated is now acquired. You may rest assured there will begin at once prac- tical exploration and there will be no interruption from lack of capital. We have been very quiet in our in itial operations, but now that the lands desired are taken over, we are not withholding our plans from the public. Interested are some of the best known and most successful oil men in the country, and several from the Texas and Oklahoma fields have recently looked over the Arizona holdings, sanctioning the expiora- tions decided upon"

DEAL SHOWS VALUE
 OF GOAT INDUSTRY
(From Thursdays Daily.D

(From Thursdays Dally.l
 The recent sale of a large number of goats by Carrow and Oscar Rush to William Paar and others attracts attention to this industry, which is declared to be rapidly growing in im- portance in Yavapai County, Arizona, and in fact the nation. In the past six months many large flocks have changed hands, mostly between prac- tical goat raisers. Prices are the highest in the history of the industry in Yavapai county.
 The prices are based on the value of the true Angora goat. This animal now stands more firmly than ever in the estimation of the worlds trade The Angora is valuable both for the mohair and the flesh, both of which have been standardized in the mar kets. More and more uses are being found for mohair in the textile trade, both in the United States and Flu rope. And it is noted, goat flesh IS now competing with mutton on the eastern markets
 The herds of the Rush brothers, who have ranged their territory for the past IS years in the vicinity of Kirkland and Placerita, were sold to Parr and Walker, who now have one of the largest goat holdings in the county. Included in the deal was the Fairview ranch, headquarters for the past IS years of this outfit An other part of the deal covered the George Reese herd of 400 Angoras, together with the Reese ranch on French gulch. The total selling price of these holdings was said toI be in excess of s 500.

BIG PLACER OBJECT
 OF A LAW BATTLE
(From Thursdays Daily)


 Prefacing a big legal battle for control of a huge and reupted rich placer field between Rich Hill and Round Mountain, a suit to exact a settlement under the terms of an al legged contract ,and involving 40 claims and over 10000 acres of ground, was filed in the Superior court yesterday. The parties are mining men and 6nanciers of import, ance, and the action was brought by Attorney J. E. Russell of this city.
 The suit is intended to compel an apportionment of interests in the big placer field, which lies adjacent to the famous Octave camp, in the inter ests of eight men, parties to the orig inal contract, all to share alike. R. M Merrill, F. NJ. Merrill, P. C. Black and F. K. Black are suing w. F. Plank, s. A. Plank, s. T. Axtel, L. Nj. Axtel, V. L. Axtel, F. c. King, F. C. Orozco and V. N. OFozco to compel them to transfer title to one half interest in 40 claims, alleged to have been filed in the district, fol- lowing the contract which stipulated that the parties would divide equally, all interests in 20 claims, originally located. and all other activities that any of them might engage in in that particular part of the Weaver mining district. The claims are specifically located in township 9 north, ranges 4 and 5 west ,and township s north, range 4 west. The original location includes 6700 acres of ground.
 About year ago, K. Af. Merrill, who is we'll known here through his connection with the Midnight Test group near Walker, became interested in a large placer field near Octave. He went to s. A. AYtel, who agreed to advance the money for the devel- opment. w. E. Plank and Merrill agreed to locate all the claims and did take up such as they considered worth while at the time, carrying out the terms of an agreement. Under the original arrangement, the four plaintiffs were to have half and Plank and the three Axtels the other half.
 It is alleged in the complaint that after the original filings had been made, Plank located 5l additional claims adjoining the group-thougl in the complaint it has been set up that there are but 40 whole claims, on account of overlapping. The plain. tilfs now seek to compel the defend- ants to follow the contract in diyis- ion of interests in the additional claims.
 Ii is said that a dredger will be put on the property this fall, and that the gravel is good for 50 cents yard. Water is said to have been found in ample quantities by the sim pie process of digging trench across one of the main washes in the group.
