Prescott TOT tt4'H
 u,ouId never go further than this. e We doubt if there is any place in
 tbe United States where sufferers s from asthma can obtain as quick Q relief from the climate alone as in
 Prescott.
 Senator Wolcott of Colorado does | not like the new Columbian stamp.
 He calls it a plaster, and has intro duced a resolution to have it sus- pended. In design, color, and fin ish, the Columbian stamp is the
 finest that We have ever seen. The
 only objection which can be made against it is it's size, and as the
 stamp is intended for use only dur
 ing 1898, and is distinctive histor-
 ieal issue, this objection can be
 easily overlooked. The Colorado
 senator should employ stamp
 ticker.
 The prosecution of the cases
 against the cattle men in Wyoming
 has been dropped, and the twenty
 three defendants have been dis
 charged. Nearly one thousand
 talasmen were examined, resulting
 in failure to secure a jury. The
 affair has involved an expenditure
 on both sides of about $500 GOO. IL
 has kept the State in ferment Tor
 nine months. The men discharged
 to-day wore among the prominent
 citizens of the State, but number
 of them must leave, so strong is the 1
 sentiment against them.
 "Uncle George Pullman as the |
 monopolistic millionaire of the
 Pullman car service is familiarity i
 called, has trouble brewing for him.
 He has had his own sweet way, in
 the matter of furnishing sleeping l
 accommodations to the travelling public in this country for a long
 time with the exception of one or
 two lines of railroad. A recent tel
 egram from Chicago says that it is
 now war to the knife between the
 Vanderbilts and the Pullmans on
 the palace car issue, and the pres
 ent indication point to the house of
 the Vanderbilts will give the Chi
 cago millionaire a pretty close race
 Hitherto Inc Yanderbilts have
 operated the Wagner cars only on
 their lines, but now they have under
 taken to compete with Pullman and
 to supply roads outside of their own
 territory with cars at tower figure
 than Pullman has ever dreamed of quoting. There may be nothing
 in this rumor but the travelling pub lie will hail with delight a tug be- tween thesS mighty money kings.
 C, NJ. Clark has secured another months time in which to secure an additional mineral exhibit from 1 this county for the Worlds Fair. This will give miners a good oppor- tunity to have ther properties ' properly represented by samples of { ore. and all who havefailod or neg leeted to send samples from their 1 properties should do so at once. c This is a grand opportunity for ad- vertising our resources, which l should not be overlooked by own { CTS of mining claims. Thousands II of dollars of capital were brought V to this territory for investment as o the direct result of the New Orleans few years ago. As that D was purely national exposition, c attended mostly by residents. of the b United States, the result of a prop s, ar exhibit at the Worlds Far. k which will be attended by people b from every nation on the globe, fC should be infinitely greater than it, r, and We desire to again impress upon minersand owners of mining claims that they send samples for this pur- pose. The only cost to miners at c; tending the preparation of an ex- re hibit is taking the samples from cl their claims and sending them to m Commissioner Clark at Prescott ia
 The information asked of the city T council, by the citizens committee al ast fall, but which was refused. as tl 70 the cost of the change of the h. .ity water works from their old site ol Q the present location, is now at VI land ia financial statement pre- st pared by $. l.. Bright. While we th lave the assurance of the ex-mayor. O D his recent valedictory, that the Bl axPayers of Prescott were not con- ns 'elled to go down into their own bl pockets to pay for this, the state ce nent referred to shows that during mi he year 1892 the water works cost DC he enormous sum of Sl6,OOO
 hls IS about S6,OJO Tn excess of ven the largest guess made in ref renee to the estimated expense. ex he total expenditures of the city s saL 'r the year amounted to nearly Io, '4,0O0, the amount left in the city qu easury by the old council being Tel lly between $500 and $500. The Gr 'URNAL-MNER man only had an :, to glance hastily over a T. Bright's report, from which the iore figures were obtained, but as :" on as the committee, in whose que nds it now is, finishes their exam Ation of 1t, we propose to give the Nc x payers of Prescott an insight C Q the money that has been spent, are { which we have been assured not come out of their pockets. T } will not, however, undertake to heic from whose pockets this money and ne, but will leave that to abler den Gsd. ads. iSy'
