THE EAST!!
 THE EAST THE EAST
THE EAST !

Arizona is soon to bc part of tho East
 She Is cut loose from San Francisco, and be
 come commercially part of 3s States
 instead of one'ss in the past. Business, sym
 pathy and interest 10 do it, and the railroad
 to finish the good work.
 When entered this Territory, three years
 ago, found nearly every one speaking oi
 sending to, or going inside. Enqulring Of a
 Hassayamper where that place was, be told
 me San Francisco. I found the whole bust of the Territory going in that direction:
 Wool, bullion, hides and other products. Goods were received in return, that were made in the Eastern States, and had their value enhanced 50 per cent (but not their qualityl by stopping hem in San Francisco and paying the enormous taxes and profits levied there. I fonnd every miner look ing to San Francisco as the place where he was eventually to dispose of his mines, and the United States were practically ignored.
 found, occas sionally, mine bonded, but rarely sale. The sheep men realizing next almost to nothing for their wool, and found prices ruling here which would keep the Territory in the back ground.
 After spending one year here and study ing and observing the situation, went East to purchase goods and start a business here and do what ir,lle I could do, by in- forming business men and capitalists there, of the coming importance of Arizona.
 Since the commencement Of my humble efforts, backed by the quick and generous patronage of the trading public in and around Prescott, for seyenty-hve miles, have succeeded in accomplishing one thing the complete and total annihiIation of the High Prices, which had begun at that time to cause settlers to leave, disgusted with the country, where oyeralls were s 50 pair; nails 40 cents pound; an axe handle sI %, and lead pencil, 9 cents, and other things in proportion.
 During the time I have been in business here, the Southern Pacific k. R., has carried freight from New York and Boston to Yuma at 31S cents per pound; their rates are now trifle higher, but still low, and they deserve credit for their freight tariff ever since they opened their road to Yuma.
 They have only anticipated what Boston | Capital was doing in another direction. put ting Arizona in direct communication with the Emporiums of the United States. which 1 a re in New York. Since then more mines | have been sold to Ea stern parties than San I Francisco. More and more merchandise | has come directly through from the East, and what predicted as to the future of Ari. | zona, that her great development was to | come, by, and through Eastern capital, seems certain to be realized.
 I am about to visit the East and purchase more goods for my two stores here, and in reviewing the past three years, I wish to assure all who have cast ia their lot with Northern Arizona, that while wages will for a long time remain where they now are, that prices of merchandise can nerer again go to the old rates, and that the spectacle of B man woi king thirty or thirty-one days for BIO, and paying 8 50 for pair of oyeralls will never again be seen. The public, who from the first and without cessation, up the present time, have so generously patron zed me have done the good work.
 If there is any person who has not heard ,f the NEW YORK AND BOSTON STORES. would say that they are located on the East side of the Plaza, Prescott, A. T., that 'ne store is devoted to Dry Goods for house. hold use and everything for complete out it for infants, Misses and Ladies may there 'e found. Dresses from Calico Wrapper. or sl, up to an elegant Silk, made ani trimmed in the latest style, Hats for La lies and Misses, etc. In the Mems Depart nent, which is a few doors below the Bank . 'tore, there will be found the largest stock f clothing of all grades. Here a man can purchase suit of clothes, from Ss 50 for a whole suit of Linen. up to as nice and good suit as he can wish. ( Boys can he made to look as tidv and Ieat as Boston High School scholar for 3 90 and upwards.
 keep ali grades of goods and furu ish a omplete outfit and at prices that afford ma {, moderate profit but will not put me on a nancial equality with Rothschiid just yet, l have three good clerks with whom I hall leave my business during my absence, T nd I shall make It my aim to keep my j iock In the complete condition the public an now find it in. ?
 THANKS, THANKS, THANKS,
