 Traveller Talks About the Town.
 Prescott, ATiz., Nov. 10.-(Special correspondence of The Republican, J. It seems like old times to be in Yav- apai's county seat, one of the best towns in this territory. It is o-d fashioned and the people are whole souled, but regret to say not as am- bilious as they might be. They want to feel that times have not changed; ]; that thsy are living the old life and desire to stay with it. Prospectors by the score are seen at every corne-. Prescott has more old prospectors to the square inch within her borders than amy other town in Arizona, Tombstone and Yuma in competition for second place. I would like to take up the subject of characters but that sort of timing will occupy time if Ir1R want to treat it faithfully. 1

 K a talk with Judge Wells lat
 ening was led to understand that lescott wanted an equal divide cn DIha exchange proposition. I told the judge that they would get it if the community would throw aside the.r ideas of the Rip Van Wrinkle order. They did not want to sleep at all, but keep awake and do something of an enticing nature; something to draw the Phoenilcian closer. If they ex- pected, suggested, a big representa- tiOn from Phoenix next summer and other summers to follow, they must be up and doing. Above all things they need new hotel and this alone will do the business of attracting the Phoemicians Quit of Prescott there are instructive features in the north, south, east and vest In a former letter I dilated on this subject-One that can be touched upon frequently. In a word the differences which exist should be wiped out and as a mis- sionary I propose to do my share in bringing about better fealing.
