DEATH OF MRs. CooK.-In the prone, place for such announcements, in this issue of the MINER, will be seen a record of the death of Mrs. Hattie F.. Cook, wife of our friend Hon. E. J. Cook of this place. which took place at their residence on Thursday morning, May 18th, 1876.
 We have seldom, if ever. in the line of journalistic duty, been called upon to chron- lcie the death of one whose life has been so pure, so modest, so unobtrusive and so much beloved by those who were so fortunate as to enjoy an intimate acquaintance with her. Among the foremost in every good work she was yet willing to leave the direction to others and was content to do her part without Osten- tation. kind, affectionate and loving wife and mother, her chief happiness was with her family, yc. she was ever mindful of the courtesies due to others and never failed to render them on all proper occasions.
 Her husband, now bowed down beneath a weight of sorrow almost unbearable, and the two children she leaves to the care of other hands and hearts in the superintendency of their education and direction of their conduct, have the sympathies of the people of Pres- colt in an unusual degree.
 The memory of Mrs. Cook will long re- main green in the hearts of her friends, and her example in life a sweet incense and stimulus in others to initiate her faultless life.

Orlando Allen, of the butcher firm of c. T. Rogers X Co.,, is erecting a nice family residence on Carlton street, near Marina, on portion of his property now known as "Las Flores" It is beautiful place, and the house when completed will be credit to that part of the town. We took look at it yesterday and were pleased to see that he appreciates comfort, as evinced by the con- struction of fire-places instead of stoves in the sitting-rooms. His avowal that he is building it to rent, never fails to bring the tip of the hearers thumb to the tip of his nose, while a spread hand performs a semi-circle in the air in front, as though he would say ''toO thin,"

School Matters,

Some of our friends, it has seemed to us,
 have been somewhat captious with reference
 to the building of the new school-house.
 The position of School Trustee is never profit
 able, and often thankless; yet it is a posi-
 ton that somebody must fill, and we regret
 to see them embarrassed by opposition in
 their laudable and honest efforts to do the
 very best that can be done for the people. . As business proposition, every man who ! thinks must know that there is no invest
 ment of a public character that can be made to yield as good returns to taxpayers and property owners of town or village as that Judiciously expended in building good,
 substantial and commodiOus school-house
 where all the children of all the people,
 whether rich or poor, can receive liberal
 common-school education. We have in our own experience known the population and
 number of houses to double in three years after S20, school house had been built in town that had been at a stand-still or on decline for the past eight years, and with no apparent cause for the improvement other than that people at once acquired con- fidence in the stability of the place from the appearance of the school building, and moved there with their families and bought property, with the assurance that it was a good place 10 educate their children: and thus property increased in price and the town from dying condition revived and is hourishing to-day. Prescott, if she choose. can become the' great educational center of Arizona and New Mexico She has the eli mate, the health, and all the natural sur roundings to make her the seat of colleges and schools that would attract the wealthy and well-to-do of other sections who would seek residence here for purposes of health and pleasure, if by so doing they could combine the education of their children. Many of the wealthier classes of Sonora would also seek to give their children an English education if such facilities were near at hand. in view of these possibilities, and by no means inproba bilities, it behooves us to encourage the natural tendencies to such results by making beginning. We have the climate, the health, the water, the timber, the society, and all other necessary elements, including the largest white popu- latlon Of any town in the two Territories, and why not build a schOol-honse by taxa ton, as the people have voted, and not an noy the Trustees by captious objections and suggestions calculated only to confuse and retard the progress of so needful work

1 CONTRACT LEr.-Baker tS Throne were
 awarded the contract for building the new
 school-house of brick, as per specifications
 on file in the office of the County Superin-
 tendent, on Wednesday, for the sum of sll ,S94.75, payment to be made as follows:
 When the foundation is completed to the
 satisfaction of the Trustees and accepted bv
 them, fifty per cent. of the estimated cost of
 said foundation as per contract. When the
 brick walls are up, the roof on to the satisfaction of the Trustees and accepted by them, fifty per cent. of the estimated cost as
 before, and when the building is fully
 completed, according to the plans and
 specifications on file, ready for use, &C., cepted by the Trustees, and free from all liens and claims against it, then the balance is to be paid and the contract ends. Baker X Throne have sub let the foundation and brick-work to Allen, Winters, and Toftman, for S6,2OO. The contractors propose, at any time when the Trustees will pay them the whole instead of fifty per cent. due at the time, to give good and sufficient bonds for fifty per cent. in excess of the amount so due. The building will ne 32 it. ? in. by 73 fl. 6 in. on the ground, with tower 20 by 70 It. square,-two stories high, each If feet HI the ciear. TWO rooms and nall below and a hall 30 by 70 feet above, hard finished, etc. The trustees have decided to raise by taxation only half the amount voted at the recent election, viz: 5000 instead of S6,OOO, and incur an indebtedness, to be paid here after, to cover the balance. This appears to be the best plan that could be devised, and as 1t IS in the nature of a compromise it is hoped all will Scquiesce and cheerfully join in helping the work along. When comple- ted, this will be q building we can all be proud of, and none will ever have cause to regret having encouraged its construction
