OF FAIR PRIZE WINNERS;
Besides Grand County Prize This Sec
tion Scores Heavily With its Fruit
And Farm Products.
Pcc.a1 to the Joumal-Mlncr.
PHOENIX, Nov. 1. Yavapai
C.amty bat reason to feel proud of
iicr exhibit at the First State Fair.
Xhcf are .stock, and minerals, and
,,,it -I an tnerc are agricultural
,f'.(liu-. Yavapai having the larg
est .iii'! finest exhibits in that line at
the i..ir this year; one exhibitor,
.done the United Verde Company,
liawMR captured about sixty prizes.
av.ip.ii won the blue ribbon and
df.iwl jrizc for the best County ex
hibit, winning the cup which -is val-
I tied at and which is offered
this yi ir for the first time. It is to
lie lie Id by the county winning it
three tunes out of five and who can
dotihi especially who from Yava
pai comity can doubt that we will
I continue to hold it now that we have
it in ntir possession?
The Fair officials regret that the
I limited space at their disposal crowd
ed out so many things which should
have li.nl adequate space for diuplay.
They wish to impress upon the
people nf Yavapai and upon the peo
ple o 'he whole state that we arc
crowing, arc no longer simply a ter
ritory, but arc a sovereign state and
that cur State Fair facilities need
to Rmw proportionately. Buildings
have a way of refusing to expand,
however great the need, until the
people of the state encourage the
Lrgtslaturc to furnish money for
their growth. Box atfer box of per
fectly good agricultral products came
to the Fair this year, for which
thoe in charge had absolutely no
room to display.
Hut there was one department that
I Yavapai County did not help to
crowd, dear me, no! Your corre
spondent entered the Educational
Department with a pleasant feeling
I of anticipation for the joys ahead,
danced interestedly at the exhibits
I from other counties while en route
to Yavapai, then began to sit up
and lake notice, then began to search
wildly as with a fine toothed comb,
tat never a solitary exhibit from
w county could be unearthed in
that department. Reporters to the
I'lght of us, reporters to the left of
and each and all proud of what
f'" particular county was doing
M what it was showing at the
I rt State Fair, but alas for the cor
respondent of the Journal-Miner, re-
( 'reenting Yavapai County, who felt
'ke emulating Cock robin when he
fntt Ins head under his head, poor
rhinp," and hide away from the
proud and haughty representatives
f the other counties. We know
hat we have just as good schools in
avapai as in any other county in
Ihe state Then why not let the
ft,t ff the state realize it, too,
'oiigh our exhibits at the State
"air' For if wc do not toot our
I Me horn, who, please, is going to
lli it for us?
Yavapai did very well in the Wo-
lnjn's department and captured her
oil miota of prizes on what she cx-
"b'tH, but the ladies in charae of
I department expressed the hope
tat Prescott and other points in
atapai would enter more ftillv into
he
M'tmint in years to come, than they
rve done this year.
Duke has an unusually inter-
h'"iR exhibit from his Dig Hug

PUTTING GRAND
CANYON ON CANVAS.
(From Wednesday V Dnlly)
Mr. and Mrs. Leo Von Rosenberg
arrived in the city Sunday from
the southern part of the state, the
former being engaged as a mining
engineer in examining copper mines
in the Ray country for an eastern
syndicate, and is en route to New
York city. Mrs. Von Rosenberg is
enjoying a few days of recreation
and release from her arduous duty
of painting the Grand Canyon at
El Tovar. She has been engaged in
her professional work for the past
six months, fininshing several can
vases, anil in a few days returns
to her studio at the rim. Several
months will elapse before she con
cludes her task, when she returns
cast. She paints from nature, and
from personal observation made,
which has given her a nation-wide
reputation as an artist of the high
est order. The first canvas sent
cast excited very much admiration,
and was readily purchased.

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS,
Oct. 28. Buyers failed to make any
great dent in the cattle market last
week .though they had plenty of
ammunition in the shape of a big
run, 74,200 cattle and 9600 calves.
Country buying for the week
amounted to 35,000 head, one of the
big weeks of the season in that
trade. Kansas pastures fell off in
their offerings, the quarantine dis
tricts had about the usual number
but the panhandle, New Mexico and
Colorado came to the front with
augmented supplies. Butcher cat
tle, particularly cows and heifers,
and veal calves, finished the week a
little higher, and medium to common
stock steers quit a shade lower.
The cattle supply today is 26,000
head, some fewer than last Monday,
but more than a year ago the same
day. Kansas exerted herself with a
home stretch burst today, and heavy
receipts arc here from the ranee
country. No prime fed cattle arc!
comintr. short fed steers scllmir at I
$7.50 to $10.00, not including pas-'
turc steers that have had a little
feed, which bring $6.00 to $8.50,
Eighty-five cars of quarantine cat
tle are here today, selling about
steady, the steers at $4.25 to $5.75.
Odd head of Colorado beef steers
last week brought $9.00, and top
loads of beef steers $7.50. Last year
same week $5.30 was paid for the
best Colorado beef steers here. Colo
rado feeders sold up to $6.90, stock
steers $6.75. Panhandle two year olds
sold at $7.1a here last week, and
Panhandle feeders grazed in Kan
sas brought $7.50 here today. Cows
and heifers arc 10 to 15 higher today,
selling largely at $4.00 to $6.50. Ship
pers have had nothing hut encour
agement up to date, and the market
horizon appears clear of clouds now.
Hogs took a big drop today, 15 to
25 cents, which makes total losses
about $1.00 per cwt. in less titan
two weeks. A big run today gave
buyers a chance to knife the situa
tion, already in a weak state, prop
erly. Run tomorrow is estimated
at 14,000 here, which means nnother
decline, but dealers think the bottom
is close at hand for this break. Top
today $8.20, bulk $7.90 to $8.15.
Sheep and lambs acted in a puzzled
way last week, finally closing a
quarter under the best time. Er
ratic supplies make the future un
certain, though popular belief ex
pects stronger supplies, based on
expectation of smaller runs. Re
ceipts arc 14,000 today, market
strong, best lambs $7.00, feeding
lambs $6.10 to $6.35.
MAKING GOOD HEADWAY.
(From Tliurmlny's Dnlly)
John Anderson, contracting on the
Billy Boy mines of Ed. Block, is
making good progress and the show
ing is better than at any time since
work was started on the property,
is the report brought by miners from
that camp. The tunnel is being ex
tended from the 200-foot point, and
a high grade ore is in the face with
the vein increasing in width, It is
the general opinion of miners who
have inspected (he work recently
performed that a big producer is assured,

SAMPLES ASSAY
HIGH IN FREE
GOLD
(Front Saturday's Daily.)
Charles Mackling, who has been
performing the annual assessment
Work of the Brooklyn Mining and
Milling group- during the past month,
brought to the city yesterday sam
ples taken from a recent strike that
run as high as $100 per ton in free
gold.
He states that the vein exposed is
fourteen inches in width, and was
found on a parallel vein to the old
workings about fifty feet distant
The strike occurred in the tunnel',
being driven and hail reached about
forty feet in and within thirty feet:
of the surface.
The Brooklyn was operated about
seven years ago, but the principal"
work was done in a vertical shaft
without any cross-cutting being per
formed. It is the belief of Mr.
Mackling that the mother vein haw
been tapped, and from the pannings
made of the ore the results arc at
tracting attention among mining
men. The Brooklyn holdings are
situated about one mile west of Dew
ey in the foothills. C. W. Pcarsall
