 People who are not accustomed to mining towns are surprised at the l immense amount of bus ness done by Prescott merchants. The busi- ness is done without any signs of it being apparent on the streets in front of the business houses. In order to realize the volume of busi- ness, one has to watch the alleys in the rear of the big stores, and when he sees from six to forty buTros, loaded with a miscellaneous cargo | of merchandise, and, m addition, sees a number of freight wagons, with from six to a dozen animals each attached Co them, losde,i down to the guards pull out, he can form some conception of the trade done and where it goes. It may be inter esting to know that in one item alone, that of rolled oats, Prescott imports . car losd every two months. This no doubt accounts for the healthy appearance and ruddy glow on the cheeks of her sons and daughters.

 Thomas Nolan has also recently taken a lease on the Little Kitty mine, owned by Mrs. Dake, and has started work with four miners to develop it. There IS already a tun- nel in on the property 800 feet, which cuts the vein at a depth of 150 feet.
