 OUR PROMINENT CITIZENS.
 This article on Phenix and Salt River valley would not be complete without a review of some of the peo- pie who have cast their lot amongst us, and by their enterprise have brought about this era of prosperity. which is rapidly bringing Phenix to the front as the principle city in Ari- Zona.
 E. IRVINE Is one of the oldest business men in Phenix, if not the very oldest that is at present engaged here. Commenc- ing in q small way he has made very rapid strides. In looking over his main store and adjoining rooms, not less than S50,00O worth of goods met our gaze. In season the quantity of grain handled by this house is very great. They own large store at Tempe, which during last harvest did good business. They act as agents for Geo. w Curtis lumber mills, of Prescott, and during the past year must have disposed of over fifteen thousand dollars worth of lumber. In d few days the contractor will de- liver the first installment on his con tract for 100000 brick, to be used in the construction of a new building cor ner MOntezuma and Washington streets. X few months ago the prop erty, 50x130, was purchased from A Goldman for f2,0O0, and in a few months more q handsome two-story brick, with cellar, will cover the en- tire piece of ground, making it the finest building in Arizona. It will be filled with stock of goods valued at nearly $1OO,OOO.
 GOLDMAN 6 co.
 This firm was started by Adolph Goldman and dates back period of four years. They carry S5O,O00 stock, and by next Christmas will cer- tainly double, it not treble, that quan- tity. At present they occupy the largest building in Phenix. Many a poor farmer in years past has been enabled to put in a crop by the aid of liberal credit obtained from thIs house. By keen foresight and a strict attention to business, the foundation, eXcelled by no house in Arizona, was laid by the founder of this firm.
 ASHER X ELLIS Opened a large store in Prescott, with branch at Camp Verde, five years ago. They removed their entire stock of goods to PheniX ten months since, and must now have on their shelves and on the road nearly $4O,O00 worth
