To the right of the Montezuma and about 20 feet back of the same was the first boot aud shoe manu- '1cturiug house, run by John Laughteu.

 To the right and further down to the creek, IS where D. Henderson & Co. ran a general merchandise house. The ground and a portion also of the building material, is to- day occupied by Fred Brecht as a blacksmith shop.
 In tle background is to be seen aaong the pines, the old guberna- to-ial mansion, standing to-day the same as of yore. with the possible exception of a few weathsrboards. It is here the machinery of Arizona's government first received oiling. and it IS here also the strife and heat of political life and social sectionalism among the HassaYampa 100 first re- ceived their baptismal fire. This building was erected in lS6i by Raible X Blair at cost of S250O and was a losing proposition to the firm. Mir RaiOle is still an active townSman of Prescott. Dan Hatz. we'll known to all Arizonaus. was among the carpenters employed on this building in 1861
 The building to the right in the illustration Is the one recently oc- eupied by our contemporary on Gurley street. IL was the first adobe built in Prescott and was run as a saloon, afterwards it was con verted into clothing house by Cook X Bowers, Washington French, still a resident of Prescott, being a clerk in the same.
