BAG THREE CATS ON
 SYCAMORE CANYON HUNT
(From Sundays Daily.)

T got lyin' story" Dr. R. N. Looney told friends on his return to the city yesterday from the ranch Is miles south of Williams. It devcl- oped, however, that what the doctor meant was a lion" story, and to prove the essential allegations, he toted Ramsay Patterson, the govern ment cat-exterminator, around with him as a witness.
 Three mountain lions fell to the guns of the doctor and Patterson during the week, and the latter wants it understood that the former batted .667 per cent. In other words, ne got two of the three
 The first cat, a large male, was killed in Sycamore canyon, near the ranch of the Perkins brothers, on Monday. The hunters then rested a day and bagged two more, both females, on Wednesday. Inethe bat tic with one of the beasts, Dr. Loo ney's quick accurate shooting saved the lite of one of Patterson's favorite Ion dogs, wno was involved in a life ard death struggle, and was not winning on points, or even standing d SHOW of newspaper decision.
 "This was the first lion hunting 1 eve! did," said the physician, "and l like it so we'll Pm going again. The animals were committing many mur- ders among the livestock in that re- gion."

MT. VERNON TO BE FIRST
 PRESCOTT CITY STREET
(Fram Friday's DallyO

The entering wedge of paving has been ordered inserted.
 The office of City Clerk J. H. Rob inson yesterday started the legal pro- cesses which will result in the appli- cation of the Arizona Improvement Act of 1913 to the streets of the city, when publication was ordered of a resolution to pave five blocks of Mt Vernon street between Aubrey and Sheldon.
 That this move will quickly result in the lining up of other areas to i'm prove streets IS asserted by backcrs of paving. The very best type of street surfacing will be used, and the improvement of Mt. Vernon for a distance of $500 feet, 50 feet wide from curb to curb, is expected to set an example for other parts of the city. Already, it is said, there are stirrings and rumblings of other pc titions in process of being gotten out
 The resolution fixes the class of paving to be put down, specifying a bottom ballast of one inch of sand, a permanent base of five inches of concrete and a top coat of two inches of bitulithic When bids are called for the contractor will find himself under necessity of using this surface, the same kind iof asphalt mixture that is being used with sue cess in Flagstaff, wher it is ex- tremely cold, and ill Phoenix, Tucson and other southern cities, where it is extremely hot
 It Is natural that Mt. Vernon should be the first street on which paving IS to be insisted upon, for, although it is a purely residential street, it is built on soil that is the least tractable of any in the city dur ing wet weather. Lacking the sandy content of many of the other streets, this thoroughfare becomes a morass, almost impossible to motor vehicles in the rainy summer season and i'll the snowy winter months. Pave nent with a permanent base and a resilient surface is the only solution to the problem of Mt. Vernon street.
 Most cities get the paving of busi- ness streets finished first, but here it IS regarded as satisfactory to nave the object-lesson demonstrated on a residential street, on which are many of the incest homes in Prescott.
 The pavement will take in the in tersections of Mt Vernon with both Aubrey and Sheldon streets.

NEW PRoSPECTOR IS
 ASSISTING THE MINER EE-an Sa4..-d...,r nn;l-rN
CFrom Saturdays [

At the mining camp of Brent x Samuels, about eight miles southeast of the old Roark ranch on the Lower Hassayampa river, the good Lord, with the assistance of a cloudburst, has performed a generous act," !" writes Harry Colverg to a friend in this city. Tine writer then goes into details, saying that he. had read in the Journal-Miner of the strike made by McNulty & Bride near Prescott by the cloudburst route, and it would be only proper to note that his mine was similarly blessed by the torren- tial downpour. He would suggest that each holding be rechristened as Cloudburst No. 1 and No. 2, as the discoveries made had the same origin, the wall of water stripping the formation and leaving exposed tne big dyke on the main Assure.
 He was unable to ascertain what values were given at the Brent 6, Samuels strike, but intimated it was bonanza showing on account of the free gold ill evidence, and that the. matter was being kept secret as to what actually had been deter mined.
 Of the McNulty & Mcbride situ- ation in this section, a copper propo- sition, Mir. McNulty stated few days ago the exposure made was without doubt the main mineral bear ing dyke of the system. and that it was paralleling the zone where ne had been developing for many years. He said:
 "We were getting ready to use that ground for a big dump. but the cloud burst intervened fortunately, and now we have what has been our objective in exploration for many years. We are going into that condition and the ore will stand shipping. The big area had been churn drilled and pros pected, and now after over fifteen years the mineral deposit has been uncovered by nature. The query naturally arises, what is the matter with all of these scientifically trained gcologists who have examined our holdings, and have failed to get at the meat ill the nut? Me for the cloudburst as mining engineer; it's cheap to have one sticking around. y

NEW TITLE ADDED TO
 OUR OFFICIAL REGISTER

Every day or two some little thing, if not big one, shows that d more intimate relationship than formerly with the rest of the world leaves its impress on the manners and customs of the United States. For instance, Frank L. Polk, acting secretary of state, will soon take his place in the United States delegation at the peace conference. with the title of undersecretary of state. As coun- selor of the department, MT. Polk was the first assistant to the Secre- tarq, but it was found that foreign chancellories do not attach the im- portance to the title of counselor that they do to that of undersecre- tary, with which they are familiar Hence congress recently created the title of undersecretary, and Europe is expected to, and doubtless will, accept the. bearer of it as speaking with full authority in the absence of MT.

 DIVORCE
(From Fridays Daily)

Twice married and once divorced to (and from) the same man; his help-meet for two dozen years, the mother of seven children by her two unions to him, and now, the victim again of his cruelty and intolerance that IS the unique story of Nancy Elizabeth Myers, as related in suit for divorce against John T. Myers, filed yesterday.
 Failure to provide, absence from the home, cruelty and false accusa- tions of inhdelity are set up in the complaint as grounds for complete separation and the custody of the youngest child, Vera Lee, aged four. Mrs. Myers charges that her hus- band has not contributed to her sup port in year.
 Of the seven chi1oen of this dou- bIe trial of matrimony, three are ma rure and married, four are minors, all of whom, save the last daughter, Vera, are with the father.
 Going back into the history of this case, the complaint says thRt the couple were married for the first time at Frisco (nowN known as Reserve), New Mexico. on February g, 1895. After the family had moved to Ysv- apai county, Mrs. Myers secured a divorce in the Yavapai court on June IA, 1911. Nearly two years later, or in May, 1913, MT. and Mrs. Myers were remarried in this city.

 Petitions in Circulation
 A list of the elector-taxpayer of Yavapai county has been furnished the committee by Assessor C. E.. Gentry. Commencing today through out Yavapai county these petitions will be circulated and it is believed that the entire county can be conlbed and the reports filed with the com mittee by the 18th day of August, immediately following which they will be presented to the board of su- pervisors of Yavapai county. Those qualified to sign these petitions should bear in mind that the first step that of signing the petition is merely to get the matter before the elector-taxpayers and the board of supervisors. Thereafter, they will appoint tht highway commission, five in number, who serve without compensation and whose duties it will be to investigate and report to the board of supervisors the roads to be constructed or improved, the amount of the bond issue, etc, after which the call for the bond election will be issued.
 The petition which will be circu- ated immediately in the Verde dis trict and which is the same for every section of the county reads as fol- lows:
 "To the Chairman and Mem
 bers of the Honorable Board of
 Supervisors of Yavapai County,
 Arizona. Gentlemen: We, the
 undersigned property taxpayers
 and otherwise qualified electors
 of Yavapai county, Arizona, do
 hereby petition your honorable
 body to call an election for the
 purpose of determining whether
 the bonds of Yavapai county,
 Arizona, shall be issued for the
 purpose of the construction and
 improvement of county roads of
 said county, and hereby urge you
 take all steps and do all things which are necessary and proper
 in order to submit the question
 of the issuance of such bonds to
 the property taxpayers of the
 county who are in all other re-
 spects qualified electors of Yav-
 apai county, in compliance with
 law for such election"
 AS explained above, it is impossi- ble to state the roads to be built or the amount of the bond issue, until the necessary signatures have been secured. the petition presented to the board of supervisors, the appoint mnt of the highway commission by l the board of supervisors, the inves- tigation and report of the highway commission filed with the board of supervisors.
