Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1895-03-20

The first Prescott contingent from
 Phenix arrived today, and speak
 handsomely of the capital city and 9 the agreeable time had.
 It begins to look in a mining sense,
 as if the prosperity of this section, due to arrive every spring, had at last pitched her tent permanently in
 Prescott.
 The railroad jubilee collapses to- day in Phenix. It may also be said
 that several individuals collapse
 with it. After all there is no place
 like home.
 The Phenix jubilee eclipsed any
 thing in the liue Of a public demon
 stration every held in Arizona.
 Those people know good thing
 when they experience 1t.
 Charley Akers is said to have
 backed the Whipple nine in royal
 style in the recent game in Phenix,
 and comes back to Prescott with a
 wagon load of Salt River pumpkins.
 General McCook was agreeably
 pleased with Prescott hospitality,
 and last evening spoke out plainly
 that the town is all right, and he
 would never forget her or the people
 in it.
 Advertise Prescott. We haven't
 such a "cinch" on the outside as some people think, and did you hear recently many people say how sur prised they were to see such a nice looking town.
 Charley Akers had a narrow escape from being killed in Phenix by team running into the vehicle he was in. throwing him to the ground. He should ride that bicycle in Phe- nix, like he does in Prescott.
 Did you ever notice what a dear lite town Prescott is whenlwanderers who return again from other lands, broken in spirit and purse, say she IS the chief of them all z We hear this song every day.
 Many people from Phenix will come to Prescott on the fourth of July, believing that a big celebra- tion is to take place. Do not dis appoint them, and now IS the time | to prepare for Prescott's jubilee.
 Gurley street as it winds distres- singly up to Mob Hill should be | worked on by the chain gang. It is always Tn sight of every eye, and l some of the true Assure" veins along | it should be sunken on. It looks now as if the exemption law had hold | of it.
 It seems to us considerable time is waisted by the chain gang in fix ing crossings. Why not remove some of the big rocks in the center of streets. The work on gulleys is simply wasted and the next rain will prove 1t.
 Look at the number of houses that are going up. Some cranky people have suddenly quit whistling | their pessimistic song on the Iail- road doing us up. They will be shouting for the road, if these i'm provements are not immediately stopped.
 Hundreds of inquiries were made the ether day by visitors as to our mineral resources, but nothing could bs shown them to prove our claims. We have nothing but mines around us. and it seems bogus like to preach on a subject that we can not 'illustrate."
 Go down to the depot and peep into the big machine shops, the im- mense round house, and look at the turn table. Don't forget also. to ''slze up" the number of mechanics also. It's almost as good as the old military headquarters at Whipple used to be.
 The daisy weather we are ex- periencing is clincher on the "sun kissed" climate We are SO boastful of usually. We feel aggrieved, over it, because so many prominent men who are now here will not return to their eastern homes all blistered and sunburnt. Next time we'll do better.
 The city of Phenix is said to be a young Los Angeles, all of which is due to the rustling of its business men. There is no reason, then. why Prescott should not be the Denver of the southwest. We have the wealth in the hills to show people, but such should be display ed in a mining bureau in town.
 Remember the grand musical and literary entertainment at the Pat ton Opera House, March 26, 1895. The program is elaborate and we'll arranged, and the parts are taken by the best talent of the city. You cannot afford to misi it. Let all rest assured of large returns for their money.
 Every thing quiets down now to the stern reality of life. Sober thoughts take preference'over fighty { and the like, which { should be followed up and on now with something to benefit Prescott, in a mining bureau. a Fourth of July celebration, internal improve ments, and pull altogether for the town.
 The reception rendered General McCook and staff last evening was a brilliant event, and in recent years could not be equalled in beauty or splendor by any social or represen- cative gathering Prescott has en- circled to it commemorative of man $ or deed. The occasion was one in which people participated earnestly f for to our distinguished guest there ever clings deep and afectionate regard by the people of this sec tion, which last night for the last time was appropriately expressed.
 On Friday the celebrated Calhoun : Opera Company will arrive in Pres colt by special train from Phoenix. There will be fortv-fve people and q
