< Prosperous ou.looa.

The prospect for prosperous season for the coming summer is just now unusually bright. The building of the new railroad, with a disbursement of several thousand dollars per month in Prescott, has a!reedy given quite stimulus to trade here. Visitors arc being al tracted here from various sections in the east, and already contractors and builders are being asked to prepare plans for new buildings. \. c. Burmister and ]. M. N. Moore each have Hew residences about completed in East Prescott, while SheriH Lowry has one well under way, and which will be ready for occupancy soon in the pine groves in West Prescott.
 The JoURSAL- MINER was, on Sat. urday, shown the plans for six room cottage, which a business man proposes to build somewhere on the east side of the creek. It will l,e built of stone or brick, and will cost about 5,0O0 As he hasI not ret succeeded in purchasing a lot, hiS name is withheld for the prssent.
 Mr. Woodruff, of the Prescott National Bank, has been looking around for . lot on which he pro poses to erect a residence
 Another new residence will also be built on Nit. Vernon avenue in East Prescott during the early spring months. Quite . number of others arc being talked of, some of which will no doubt mateFialize. and the prospect now is that next summer will see more new buildings erected than any single year since the city was started.

This does not allow anything for the health department nor fer emergencies which may arise, and only by the strictest economy and watehfulness can the expenses be kept within the above estimated limit. If this estimate can be car ried out two thousand dollars war rants GU which interest is growing by day and night could be redeem ed. The indebtedness at present is $S5.S42.SS. If this could be re- funded, the annual saving would be about S2,l62.00.
 While this may seem to be q pessimistic view, your committee believes that our city has a good future before it and hopes to present a more roseate report at the close of the year. In conclusion it presents the following resolutions and asks their adoption;

Flagstaff seems to be on the very eve of a genuine boom. Not a boom created by excitement and ex- aggeration, but one of general merit. The recent discovery of mineral in the Grand Canyon and of coal north east of the town promises to make a large city of our sister town, if future devel- opment of these properties is in keeping with the present prospects. The place is at least to be congrat- ulated on the present bright pros poets which she enjoys and it is to be hoped that she may realize even greater benefits than are now hoped for.

4 carefully prepared statement of
 the financial condition of our town
 appears in this issue in the form of
 a report from Morris Goldwater,
 chairman of the new finance com
 mitte of the city council. One of
 the alleged statesmen, who has for
 several years occupied a position in the city council, objected to the
 publication of this statement. The reason given was that it would hurt the cIty's credit, A perusal of the report, however, would indicate that the real reason is an effort to con ceal the truth from the tax payers. The statement does not present the financial condition of the town in a very favorable light, 1t is true, but as matter of justice to the present city council, the people here should know the whole truth. They should know just how their money has been spent in the past. and
 should know the condition of the eley at the time the present city ooune!i went into office, that the sihs oi their predecessors may not De visited on them. Let each sat ot officers stand squarely on it's own record and by that record let them be judged. It is by that, and that 1 alone, that the JoURNAL-MINER has judged them. By referenc to this Financial statement it will be seen that the expenditures for the water works has exceeded by about 5000 our estimate of their expenses. The document is one we'll worthy of pe- rusal by every tax payer in the com nunity.

The report of the water commit tee of the city council will be found in this issue, and will be found interesting reading. A no- ticeable and commendable feature of this document is, that the pres ent conncil does not propose to spend the peoples money ad libitum by hiring work done by the day, but by the contract. The new city council has certainly started out on the right tack. on a system atic business basis, and we have enough in its several in- diyidual members to believe that they will continue on this line.

4 private telegram was recelYed
 here last evening announcing the
 death of Americas great statesman,
 Hon, James G. Blaine. The news
 was confirmed later by press dis
 patch. His death occurred yester-
 day morning, Friday, January 27, at
 II o'clock. His illness has been
 protracted and lingering, and the
 nature of it has not yet been learn
 ed. Mr. Blaine has been promi-
 nent character in American politics
 for several years. His name is a
 household word throughout the
 nation, and the history of his entire life is so familiar to all, that a bio graphical sketch would add noth- ing to the information already known of him. History will record that he was one of the greatest men of the world, of the age in which he lived. A correspondent furnishes the following concerning him:
 sThis morning the sad intelligence comes to us of the death of one of the brightest minds and characters known in history. James G. Blaine has been the central figure in all the most important affairs apper- taining to the American Nation for over quarter of a century. His indiTidgaGttyysnd personal magnet IsQa, his varied experience, his sa- gacious mind, his bravery and man hood, made him a master amongst men. He was Gar seeing, patriotic, independent, generous and just, and in any contest wherein he found or believed the American people re- quired assistance, you could rest that in the midst of that contest and in the hottest portion to the end, as a central figure, was this remarkable man. Hewas pure ly au American, and loved the i Nation, to which and for which he surrendered all his mental | and physical powers. His name | passes down into history as one of the worlds strongest minds and | most experienced statesmen. We think it a pity that such an one could not have filled the highest office at the gift of this people. Yet he office of President of this Ma ion could add no laurels to the orowof man who by his superior reached the very top round of the ladder of fame. So he Ileeps quietly while we mourn his oss. Peace be to his ashes"

Geo. Nj. Bowers. one of the Nee
 dies property owners, has com menced an action in the district
 court of Mohave county against
 Henry Schaefer, discoyerer of the White Hills mines. The action was brought to recover the sum of Sl5,000 for an alleged breach of contract. MT. Bowers contracted with Schae- fer to sell his mines for the sum of $l50.OO0 and was to receive ten per centum of the selling price. Schae- fer failed to put in an appearance at the time the first payment was to be made on the property and after waiting ten days or more the would be purchaser became disgusted and went home. Bowers now sues for his percentage alleging that he has performed his part of the contract and that the sale would have been made had Sohaefer fulfilled his part of the contract. The suit will ex- cite considerable interest here and in Mohave county. Needles Eye.
