CHINO VALLEY ID HAVE A FAIR
 ON OCT. IA
(From Thursdays Daily,}

The Chino Valley Farmers Bureau has Tn its membership a live pro- gTessive number of the farmers. 1t has been planned by this association to give community fair, to be held at the Prescott Farms schoolhouse on Tuesday, October IA. On that day the farmers will take their pro ducts and they will be judged Two days later the entire exhibit will be brought to the Northern Arizona State Fair and set up as a commun- ity display
 The farmers believe that this will assist them in making a much better display for the reason that the judg ing can be done aloud and they car directly benefit from the decisions made by the judges. This will also give them a better chance to line up community exhibit.
 This IS done purely from an edu cational standpoint. The judging will commence at 10:3O on the morn ing of the l4th and in the afternoon sports of all kinds will be held.
 A. B. Millett, president of the Chino Valley Farmers Bureau, was in Prescott yesterday and through the Northern Arizona State Fair as Sociation has extended an invitation to any interested people of the coun- ty to visit the community fair. Pro lessor George, in charge of the school, is boosting the community fair and is responsible for the inter crt which has been aroused. A meeting to complete the arrange 1nents of the fair was held last even ing. County Agent Scheerer, Faii Commissioner Bianconi, L. L. Bates and T. F. Wilcox were present to assist with the preliminary work.
 Bureau is for Progress
 That the Chino Valley Farmers Bureau is bent upon bringing its dis trict into prominence is shown by the fact that the association went or record favoring the breeding Oi pure-bred Durock Jersey hogs. This in fact means more than it sounds for with every farmer raising hogs of this breed stock 1t will not be long before that community will be known throughout the state as the districtz where pure-bred Durock hog are raised.

 ARTISTS ROUNDED UP
(From Thursdays Daily.)

AA ACAAA T AAhAA SNAoJ .
 What is alleged to have been one or the most gigantic mining swindles ever concocted in the state has been exposed by federal officials, and the arrest of the three Lefkowitz broth CTS and w. R. Stedman unravels what the postal authorities believe was intended to be a high handed game of interruptions financing.
 Passing through Prescott yester- day for New York City was U. $. Marshal ]. P Dillon, who had Stead man in charge, and he is to appear for trial in the above city next week.
 One of the Lefkowitz brothers was taken into custody at Los Angeles, another at Globe, and the third in New York City. They had prelim- mary hearings before different court commissioners, and each was bound over to appear for trial in the sum of Sl0000. Steadman failed to secure a bond, and he goes east under ar rest. The specific charge against each defendant is using the mails to defraud, and it is claimed the evi dence was amply sufficient to hold all of the accused. They will be tried in New York City. The so- called copper property they were en- deaviring to float for fabulous sum is situated near Superior, in Pinal county, and according to the cvi- dence submitted is rated as value loss

rate assets of the company. It is as. sumed that the proceeds are to be applied to paying judgments and debts outstanding against the com pany.
 A complete dissolution is implied in the statement that any balance will be distributed among the stock holders, according to the number of shares held.
 The Tiptop is situated II miles westerly from Canyon postoffice, its shipping point when in operation being Phoenix. Its shaft is slightly in excess of 800 feet in depth, with 400 feet of tunnel of the 100 level, 1000 feet at the 200 level, with drift ing every 100 feet lower.
 Mining property, including an old style hoist of 5000 feet capacity, is involved, together with concentrat- ing mill, consisting of a double rock crusher, Denver mill, Whitley table, pressure sinner and settling tank, slime table, etc.
 The mill was housed within a good building, surrounded by large doby office and mems quarters. An cleo tric light plant furnished illumination as we'll as power for the operation of the pumps.
 It is estimated by certain interest ed parties that at this time there is over 10000 tons of silver-tungsten ore on what is known as the old dump, while considerable tonnage of high value silver concentrates have been shipped during the time when the mine was an active pro- ducer.

ARGUMENT INTERESTING
 AND TIMELY
(From Saturdays DailY.l

An able and timely argument in road building for Yavapai county ap- pears in q late issue of the Jerome News, the contribution of C. C. Steamer of Cottonwood, part of which is reproduced in the Journal Miner as follows:
 There is considerable effort being r'ade to secure bond issue for Yav- apai county and a commission will soon be in the field gathering data on various projects. It comes from reliable sources that the Prescott Jerome cutoff will be completed, ready for travel, in about 90 days. This is most gratifying news to the residents of Jerome and the Verde valley as well as to Prescott and all towns in the immediate vicinity.
 "The time IS now ripe to consider one of the most vital issues in the confines of Yavapai county in the
 way of a much needed and often 'alked of automobile road from Pres colt via Jerome, Camp Verde, Pay son and on to the great Roosevelt reservoir. This road has been the source of much speculation for years and because of the lack of funds both Gila anld Yavapai counties have neg lected to put it through.
 People of Yavapai county and in fact all over the state make the same mistakes that whole nations make, when they attempt to develop for eigu sections of the earth and let their own sections lay lormant. Aside from the inexhaustible mines of cop per and gold, Yavapai county has a wealth of other resources that have never been touched, and here and TOW is the time for every citizen in terested in the good roads program for the county and the development of her many resources to give lit
 le consideration to the aforemen-
 toned Camp Verde-Payson highway.
 "At present there is a sort of trail rom Camp Verde to Fossil creek, whereas a road constructed from Camp Verde along the west bank of
 he Verde river would pass through several miles of rich farming coun- Try, in close proximity to the Verde Squaw, Squaw Peak and other min ;ng properties in that neighborhood; thence along the Royal Gorge of the Verde Gone of the most wonderful ,hasms in the United States) and dose to the noted Brown springs and ine ranch, and, best of all, leads to he famous hot springs IS miles be- low Camp Verde

ANCIENT REALTY DEALS BASIS
 OF SUIT
(From Sundays Daily)

Involved transfers of property all legged to belong to the estate of Ger hard H. Schuerman are sought to be strengthened out in suit to quiet title, filed in the Superior court yes terday by Anna Mclaughlin, execu- trix of the Schuerman estate, against number of surviving relatives of the deceased. The land in question is officially described as lots II and 13, block 19, City of Prescott.
 The defendants in the action are Rose Mary Holiday and her hus- band, William M Holiday; George Sherman, Henry Sherman, William Sherman, Minnie Sherman and Anna Sherman.
 The complaint lays claim in behalf of the estate to real estate, and all leges that back in 1875, on Septem- Der 7, to be exact, Levi Bashford deeded the lots to John Kirkwagon, father of Rose Mary Holiday, and that this old deed constituted cloud on the title ever since.
 Again, ten years later, mortgage was executed on the property, by which Henry Scheurman, brother of the deceased, purported to have ac- quired an equity therein. This mortg- age between the brothers was satis- fled, the complaint says. But the heirs at law of Henry Schuerman, now known under their American ized name of Sherman, consider the mortgage still to have given them rights, which the plaintiff now wants adjudicated.

BONANZA SILVER FIELD
 OF OLD IS COMING BACK
From Fridays Daily)

The old McMasters silver mine on Turkey creek, near Goodwin, has leaped into the limelight since being revived by Messrs. McKenna and Williams, who are operating under 2 lease. Returns from the first ship ment of Y tons made to Fl Pasc gave d silver content of 200 ounces and 25 per cent in lead. Another shipment is to be made at once which probably will be the last, as winter is approaching and roads into the country may be closed any day
 The zone in which this property is situated bore an excellent name ir early days for productive ability, ant he high grade ore is not causing any particular comment, as that field en
 oyed an early day record.
 Arrivals from the field say the out look for other mines is indicated by recent developments and an old time silver boom for early ill the coming year is quite probable. As yet there has been no sensational discoveries made of the famous Pine Spring character, but since a dozen camps are in existence again in that favor ite region 1t would not be surprising any day to learn of history repeating itself in a bonanza strike.
