custom OF calling upon sick people,

diseases like typhoid fever and

HOW IT LOOKS.

At no time in the history of this
 section, has the future of Prescott
 and its surroundings had that guar
 antee of assurance in prosperity as
 can be claimed for it today. The
 willingness of capital to invest, the
 building of new railroad, the pur- chase of mineral properties at heavy
 prices, the stability of improvements in town and country, and the arrival daily of men bent on all pursuits, certainly must be weighed in the scale that our section enjoys abroad at least fair name. For years and up to within.a short time ago. there fingered doubt as to whether the resources of Yavapai would uphold capital which might seek to develop it, continuation of living of ofeach other was the rule and a state of affairs generally indicative of standstill was experienced. Today ss everyone must recognize this state of affairs has undergone g radical change. Commercial houses, the safest and surest method by which to judge the prosperity of com munity, have increased in the past two years to double what they have been in capital invested. Through out the county in another branch, that of mining, a favored call has been extended this industry by out side capital. It is on the shoulders of this element we have leaned and on which we depend for the future to carry us to prosperity. Nothing can be expected from the live stock interests, for its advancement bears fruit only to few. Agriculture is limited in its sphere to a few sec- tions. The sustaining of a commu. nifty like Yavapai inl the past would be an enigma difficult of solution were it not for mining, and the building of an expensive railway with the healthy condition of business in the metropolis of the county, argues solely in favor of the mining industry.
