 PREsCoTT. Aniz.. June 8 The cold
 wave of last week having blown over one can form fair estimate of the climate of Prescott. During the day
 the weather is comfortably warm and at the same time delightfully."- cool. A
 mountain breeze which iH said to be al- most constant prevails. At night it is cool enough for light coat, at least a
 visitor from the Salt River valley finds
 such comfortable. It is difficult to con. ceive more healthful summer locality
 for an invalid than among the pines
 which tower over and surround the city. An interesting feature of Prescott is the character of the saloons and gamb- ling places. Prescott is saloon town and whisky town. It is also faro town and a crap town keno and rou- lette games being few and rarely pa- tronized. In the better class of the saloons Chinese are not tolerated while the large crowds of impecunious and cut throat looking Mexicans which are
 usually found in all saloons of southern Arizona are lacking. In three or four
 places women sing, dance and play
 every quarter of an hour. Most of the
 resorts are crowded as are the sidewalks in front of the row. The gamb blers,
 proprietors and barteaders are better dressed than those of4PheniK. This applies also tc the business and profess
 sional man, probably becanse the clim- ate demands less neglige and dis habille. Prescott boasts of one impre- | tentious place, mere ten foot wooden shack in the main street where no drink is sold at less than 25 cents prob ably the only place in where such prices
 prevail in all the country. It seems to have large ard steady patronage. The sidewalks in Prescott are all of blanks with beautiful large shiny
 headed nails sticking up half inch or
 more, st frequent intervals giving the pedestrian li5ars! opportunity of toe stabbing and impatient utterance. The buildings are mostly ot frame with the court house, leading hotels and busi- | ness places of rough brick. There are some very handsome residences on the l hill. In the construction of some of
 the latest species of red lime. stone is
 being employed than which there is surely nothing more beautiful and repu- tedly naught more durable in the whofe nation.
 Hon. John c. Herndon says he did
 not testify before Judge Olive in tho Hughes matter. He met the judge st
 the hotel, was invited to his rooms, in- dulged in & little informal chat in the course of which he learned much more than he could possibly have i'm mparted of the charges and investigation. There
 is rumor here that Judge Herndon is
 candidate for governor himself. A live merchant here is Harry Bris- ley, the leading druggist. He is 8 | liberal advertiser and says he is con- fident that his business has been great ly benefited by his advertising even in
 the small city of Prescott.
 Orick Jackson, Yavapai county im-
 migration commissioner, is about to issue 10000 edition of write-up of the county's mines. The appropriation
 was recommended by District Attorney
 R. E. Morrison and made by the board
 of supervisors couple of months ago.
 Hon. A. J. Doran lett for Philadel-
 phia to interest parties there in
 group of four mines adjoining those of Hon. J. S. Jones at Chapparal.
 Mrs. Dr. Chandler is visiting friends here.
