 More buildings are to go up in town, and good ones at that.
 What a pleasing similarity there IS in names-Crook and McCook, for instance.
 Bring in capital, Mir. Railroad, and the more excursions you can rustic up, the better.
 Ferdinand Scopel is building costly and beautiful residence on south Montezuma street.
  Every stranger who comes to town Is struck on Prescott, and they are not slow in speaking, either.
 It seems as if entending locators in Prescott are as desirous to flock around the depot as flies take to a mollasses barrel.
 There will be a spesial meeting of Prescott Lodge, No. If, A. o. U. W. at 7;30 tonight. All members are requested to be present.
 Some individuals in Prescott are cursed publicly because they are ever rustling to push our mineral resources ahead and the country with them.
 A Phenix paper speaks of General Cook" coming to Phenix. Prob ably General McCook will feel like dropping part of his name if he should summer there.
 Prescott is going ahead fast, but she ought to be showed along a lit- tie more rapidly. We have the Ggk,,Hw a, fho bs1la H,,E ,f faEac ''stuff" to get 1t out. Rustic.
 Why does not more unity of action prevail among the business men of this city in encouraging mining and other men to come and see us and look into the resources of the various districts.
 Phenix is ablaze with glory and honor, but Prescott will 'saw wood" in the future. Look at our big machine shops, round houses and turn tables. This speaks, and it speaks also for the men who are behind it.
 Talk about railroads and what they do. They make ten towns where they kill one, and what would have become of Prescott if the good old" chestnut days had been permitted to run along with the progressive era we are now in.
 In days gone, Prescott was more of a military town than a mining center, as far as as the revenue from either was concerned. We still stick to the service, however, even if we are ripening into a com mercial metropolis.
 In every celebration in Arizona, or the exhibition of its resources in outside centers, the cactus and the Indian are ever conspicions by their prominence. These ''feat- ures" crop up again during the Phenix jubilee next week. 1t is about time the Indian was played out.
 There is a peculiarity about Phe- nix people, and they are said to be very touchy on the warm weather subject. A little bit of policy, then, in asking them to join us in a celebration on the Fourth, by stat ing that it will be a warm day, should bring the whole town up this way.
 Something should be done in the way of preparing for an appropriate Fourth of July celebration. Invite Fl Paso. Tombstone, Phenix and other hose teams, and in doing 1t have for your motto, a fair and square deal. Now is the accepted time, and don't wait until the middle of June, and then kick.
 Dr. Cotton was called on today to perform a delicate operation in surgery, that of removing an eye from a lady, the sight of which had been gone for sometime. The re- moval of the eye was necessary owing to sympathy with the other, which also was becoming gradually weaker, and in a short time would have resulted in total blindness to the person.
 When a representative party of business men come Lo town, eager to see and be enlightened on a country they are strangers to, hardly a soul is present to welcome them. On the other hand why is 1t universally so that when some cold blooded murderer arrives on the train. the whole town turns out and jams the platform so that the sheriff can eardly get through the crowd.
 A so called merchant" of this city remarked yesterday that the Board of Trade should be reorgan- ized and put into working order to invite people to come and see us. If we remember correctly, petition was showed under the nose of this self same individual recently on a public enterprise, and he was imme- diately seized with such an attack of whooping cough, that ne couldn't cough up" a dollar for'the scheme.
