It will not be many months until the "Doubting Thomases on the coal question will be changing their tune to Il told you so. we always knew there was coal there, we were the frs. to suggest the prls- pec;ing for coal" and similar strains. To Paul Loske belongs the sole credit of being the first discov- erer of coal indications in Will low creek valley and of first having partially prospected the ground. His faith in the existence oi coal has never wsvered loran instant and unless the geological formations differ entirely there from every where coal has been found, there is no doubt of its existence. The ba- sin is located only about four or five miles from town and all the land embraced in it has been located.

At no time in its history has the future prospects of Prescott looked SO bright as at the present time. Not only does the future look bright, but the present business of the town is by no means discouraging. The building of the Santa Fe. Prescott

The many other results in cident on the building of this road, such a. the opening up of many mining properties which only await cheaper transportation. the facilities which it will afford the people of Phenix to enjoy our delightful sum mer climate and innumcrabie other advantages which it will offer will also help not only the town but the entire country. The amount of tax able property should he greatly in increased if not nearly doubled within the next year or year and a half. which will result m reduc- ton of tho rate of taxation and whenever this county can show more reasonable rate of taxation it will be d much easier task to induce capital to invest here. The JouR- xAL-MISER has great faith also in the existence of coal in Willow creek l valley, and there is but little doubt that it will be prospected during the l next few months. Should it result {! in the discovery of coal, in paying | quantities Us is confidently expected, it will add another very important factor to the prosperity of the place and it would be no surprise to see the town double in population within loss than two ysais.

\ few people seem to act upon the idea that $ newspaper published m country town is a subject of char ity. That it is for the use of the public on all occasions when required and that its services should be given free. When this class giyesN io the local paper in the shape of patron age they seem to think that they have performed a wonderfully char itable act and that ever afterwards ,he editor is under lasting obliga- tions 10 them. Cases however of these SI. % obligations are very lew and far between. Happily also. the class of people referred to are scarce in Prescott. but a few of them exist here. They are always to be found in the rear of the procession. with their backs turned to the line oi march when there is any public en- terprise to be promoted. Hence II is no wonder that they entertain the ideas they do in regard to newspa- pers. which are always progressive and always ready to give a helping hand towards any enterprise that Is likely to advance or promote the material interests of the town.
