As OTHERS sEE Us.-A visitor to this
 town, who has travelled extensively, declares
 that he has never witnessed so marked n change in any town, as has occurred in Pres colt during the past year. The new build ingS must number about two hundred: all of them are neat and attractive, and some of them would be a credit to any town in the world. On every hand one sees evidence of vigor and prosperity; yet some of these | PrcSCotttes grumble most ungratetully Saying nothing of the gifts nature has show cred on them in the way of climate, scenery. water and nearly all that makes life pleas ant; they complain of dull times and scar city of money. The visitor passes around secs the largest and most handsome stores of the Territory filled with enormous stocks of goods, and knows that there must be great trade here to justify shrcwd merchants in carrying such.stocks. He sees loaded wag- ons and pack trains coming and going. He notes clerks busy waiting upon crowding customers; blacksmith shops noisy with work; mechanics in demand at high wages stables and feed yards alive with customers: and then he searches vainly for evidence of dull-times. Money cannot be really scarce m town, which supports so many saloons ans games Of chance; where so many well dressed men sit on the porches around the plaza; and whose outgoing stages arc rob- bed monthly. Virtue k the attendant of respectable poverty. When money gets scarce in a town, idlers, prostitutes and rob hcrs abandon il, as rats leave a sinking ship. If the people of Prescott can not realize their prosperity, by contemplating the solid evidence of it We first named, let them sec it in the less agreeable proofs last given; or let them compare their condition with that of similar towns in California and other States Change for the better is no less marked throughout the couEtry, whose busi- ness interests center in Prescott No great sisacity l, needed to sec in this town a pres eut thrift and abundant prosperity for the future.
