HISTORY OF MARICOPA
 COUNTY.
CONTINUED

By this time, 1871, quite little community of farmers had gathered together in this part of the valley w. B. Helllngs had commenced to build his flour mill in the fall of '69. Major c. H Veil then bought ia with him, and by the spring of TO, q mill was completed, which had capacity of 100 lbs. per day of flour that brought $10 per hun dred. The machinery for the mill was brought n at great expense via Ehrenburg on the Colorado The freigh. paid was l2}% cents pound gold, Greenbacks being then worth 80 cents on the dollar. X few buiidG lDgs soon sprung up around the mill, among them a small store by A. L. Rogers, ard a stage station on the old route, between Ft- Mcdowell and Wiukeni<g. Here the settlers used to congregste on any imports ant occasion, and this lit,lo nucleus of settlement was called Mill City Another house where these had working pioneers frequently met and exchanged news was at Major sic iSz-isls.t5 the rIizs ilouse nay be see1 a65szsz.
 least of Phoenix, on the north side Iof the Tempe road. Here Major Mckinney kept little saloon, and here was sold the first whisky ever rctailed in the Salt River Valley. Close to Jack Swilling's house, w. A, Hancock kept a small store for a y~-,Ile, and then moved down to Murphy's house, which still stands near Phoenix on the Tempe road. The post office was also kept there with Geo. E. Mowry as clerk and Postmaster.
 Duling the year 1870, the choosing of site for town was faVorlte subject of conversation, and also cauGed 6 good deal of discussion Major Mckinney and many others were for having it laid oil about one mile east Of it's present position. while the Siarar boys, c. II. Gray, Jno. Montgomery and others, were in favor of the present site, and Hel> lings, Swiiling etc., cn the other 1 IT n around the Touring mill. At Inst Mai. McKinney's place was partial ly decided upon, and some, Capt ". 4. Hancock among them, even commenced to build. Capt. Han~ cock already had town sl'c par tialIy surveyed at this place, " hen dlscontentment again arose among the settlers. To adjust difficulties after two or three informal meet i igs at McKinney.s saloon, q moe = ing was finally called at the house of Moore which brought ortler out Of chaos. and brought forth also the town of phoeniI, now the most iin> portant city in Arizona.
 As the minutes of these meet ings of the city forefathers eau not fail to be intere sting to the reader. they are here quoted, as recorded ia tho old books of town records.
