 Prescott the capital of Arizona is the county seat of Yavapai county. and IS especially favored as to location for cii- ma,;c advantages. and commercially, as a distributing poin, for alarge area of mining and grazing country. It can and should be made large city. Our peo- ple should be awake to their advantages and to their Guties.
 . A railroad is being built seuthward from the Atlantic & Pacific to tap Pres- cot. and the rich region surrounding It. Some people hug the delusisn that when the road is completed season of won' eerful prosperity will have been forced upon Prescott, and vicinity, and that everybody will be rich, happy ard con- tented, alrnos, without effort on their par. Such proposition is in the high es, degree absurd .
 We must do something ourselves oui isca, capitalists must unite their purse strings and start under way enterprises which Will prove profitable with the im- proysd facilities which 2 railroad w'l bring. They must not depend entrei, upon outside capital to come in and dc for them. They claim to have con- fidence in the country; les them demon stra,e their faith. II IS generally con oeded that gres; deal of outside capita will be attracted to this vicinity, bu home enterprise should be represented There IS great deal of money here ou IL is centralized among few. There money enough to put genera! reduction works In operation, erect agood hotel give employment to a great many idl' men and stimulate the mining and othe industries of the country generally There shosld be other employment te :he lOcL capital than piling up interes at two per cent per month. dealing 1T warrants and bonds and shaving gilt !: edged paper. No legitimate busines can stand such rates; that kind of busl- ness is an injury instead Of benefit s' any country.
 Meneyed men have a perfect righ to use then cash as they choose piovid- ing they do no, violate the law, ant less favored people may not dictate tt . them wh1, they should do with their com ye. i, would seem that the rich men O Prescott ei,he, do not have the faith 1T Yavapafs resources which they profess or they are nesiecIins golden opper' .rn;,ies. One of our banks IS said ;c cary $Ioo,ooo in deposits which prove tha. :here $ plenty ot none, here, yer a: present the producers are few and the consumers many. There IS capital enough here to keep all ,h' labor employed. and VIC believe wi't profit. We would ike 10 see reduction works put in operation by home cap'- talisis. < hote, erected tha, would bt credit 10 .he town; artesian we'll boring machinery brought into the country ard operated by our people. ane many other enterprises engaged m fol the advancement of our material inter- ess Then with the railroad and the outside capital which it will bring, the prosperity of this section, would be per- rnsnen,'y assured.
