Reduction Works.

Citizens OF Prescott met in the Court
House last evening to hear the report
of the committee selected 10 solicit sub
scriptions to aid in the erection Of reduc-
ton works as per plan and proposition
made by F. A. Tritle.
Hon. John G. Campbell in the chair
Minutes Of previous meeting were read,
also report of committee showing that
quite q liberal contribution had been
made though not enough to meet the ne
quiremenis, and the committee asked
for more time in order to see such Of
the citizens - they had been unable to
meet. The chairman urged that the
time be given and in order that the cit
isens might get better understanding
of what is needed in the way of reduc-
ton works. Prof. Chas. P. Williams Was
called upon to say few words from =
scientific standpoint as well a. give his
views relative to the ability Of the sur
rounding country to supply works such
- we're being discussed.
Prof. Williams CATER stating that he
WAS examining this section At the solic-
itation of Gov. F. A. Tritle) went on to
express his confidence in the ultimate
success Of the undertaking, stating that
his opinion WAS founded largely upon
what he had eeen during the past ten
days while examining the mining dis
trict south OF Prescott, and from such
other evidence as he was able to get, of
q reliable character, to the effect that
We have surrounding Prescott, ore in
sufficient quantities and of a character
such as TO permit of successful and
profitable treatment, thereby creating q
home market and result in disbursing
thousands and thousands Of dollars in
the community, that We cannot other
wise expect.
Mr.. Kennedy a very thorough mining
man, from the southern part OF the ter
ritory was called upon and in very
few words he explained why, in his
opinion it was essential to this commu-
nifty that immediate and active steps be
taken to secure reduction works in Pres
cott
Mr.. Kennedy had received \ mistaken
idea of this section from reports that
had come to him and he was glad that
he WAS able to say that from what he
had seen he thought the mines OF north
ern Arizona second TO none and that
when the fact became known and proper
appliances we're had, that Yavapai coun-
ty would walk boldly to the front As
bullion producing county.
Gov. Tritle was called upon, in re-
Spouse to the demand of the committee,
for further time and, after going over
the ground fully setting forth the sd-
vantages that must necessarily accrue
to Prescott if successful in getting the
works established, and complimenting
the citizens for the interest they were
taking in the good work, giving gener-
ously, extended the time until Wednes-
day evening, Nov Sd, at which time the
committee will report At a meeting that
will be held at the Court House for that
purpose.
The slanderons circular against W. o.
O'Neill was written by democrat and
the author is not only known but he
will be held to . severe accountability.
Such vile work insures O'Neill's election.
A genuine eastern tramp Of the most
impudent kind 10 doing the town fright
ening women and children. When

thing to eat. why he did not 60 out to
work on the railroad he said he had new.
