DEPARTURE FOR THE WAR '! Arizona's Brave and Patriotic volun- unteers Will Leave for the Scene
 of War This Evening. A Housing Reception Will be Rendered. Them by Our Citizens.-Iet
 Everyone Turn Out.
From Wednesdays Daily.


 The plan now is to have the Ari zona volunteers, 200 strong, leave Prescott by special train at 6 p. m. this evening. --
 A committee has been at work U day soliciting subscriptions, 10 giy them rousing farewell demonstra- tion, and it is needless to. gay that our patriotic citizeRs responded nobly,. literally and promptly. h. stead of giving banquet, as 1t was first contemplated. q portion Of the funds will be expended in buying delicacies of various ki1ds for the boys to take with them on the train. The public school children. the fire men and civic societies and citizens will march down to the depot. head ed by the band, to bid the brave boys a farewell and to wish them God speed on their mission of var in the interests of humanity and liberty.
 As Prescott has the repu; atiOn of doing nothing by halves, thIs dem onstration should De one of the largest and most enthusiastic ever witnessed in the town.
 Every business place in the town should be closed up for an hour or so, and every man, woman and child able to walk. ride or crawl should be on the streets and help to swell the patriotic echo.
 The volunteers who are dbout to leave their quIet and peaceful homes m respond to their country's call, and to engage m the vicissitudes of war, are 200 of as fine young men as can be found anywhere on earth. Every last man of them nearly has left a good position and is making a great personal sacrifice from a ma terial point of view, and IS also offering to sacrifice his life to sus- tain the honor and glory of our na- ton, the greatest, the most humane, and most liberal one on earth.
 Let the appreciation of those who remain behind be shown in such a way, that, when around the camp fire, far away from home and friends, or on the field of carnage, should such be, these young patriots may be able to dwell with pleasure on the farewell given them and may be cheered bv the memory of 1t and encouraged to deeds of valor.

OUR PROPOSED DAM SITE.

The Journal-Miner Man Visits Them
 in Company With City Officials.
 The JoURNAL-MINER tnan yesterday accompanied Councilmen Gorham A. Bray, B. H. Smith and w. W. Ross, and City Engineer J. J. Fisher to the different sites of the proposed water storage dam for the city. The one recommended by Prof. Schuyler Is located just one and half miles west of town.
 The proposed dam for the reser- voir is I,450 feet long and ffty-seven feet high, to be made of rock and dirt. While it has the advantage of a larger drainage area to catch water from, It has a very great dis advantage in lack of pressure, not being of sufficient night to force the water into the present reservoir. The other proposed site which covers what Is known as the Potts ranch, is three and 8 hall miles from town, on the same creek. It is sn ideal place for storage dam, being sl the head of a box canyon, with precipitous rocky bluffs on either side. A dam 65 feet high at this point would cover 2 scres, and would only be 320 feet long on the top, and would impound l60,O00000 gallons of water. An arched over flow dam would be required here, while at the Schuyler site there is . natural spill way to carry of the flood waters From the upper site to the top of the divide it is six miles, the mountains being well timbered and ,he snow iall in winter and rain fall in summer is probably the heaviest of any place in this section. An advantage which this possesses, and which is . very great One, Is the strong pressAre which it would afford, being 700 feet higher than the bed of Granite creek, and nearly 500 feet higher than ths present city reservoir. This pressure would afford excellent power, capa- ble of producing a revenue annually of several thousand dollars-=oTe than enough to pay the annual in> terest on the bonds. A feature of it, too, is that 1t would permit of the electric light plant being placed at 6 point above the present reservoir and the water could be used without any loss, as 1t could be diTerted after use into the reservoir without in the least impairing its quality.
 The lesser drainage than the site of the other dam could be made up by the diversion of the waters of Aspen creek into it by means of . canal.
 On the homeward trip Aspen creek was visited by the party and at a point near where the proposed diversion dam is to be built Mr. Fisher measured the water in the creek by means of a small dam which he had previously built. He found that even at thIs late date, of a very dry season, that the flow of water amounted to 125.000 gallons per day. In the winter time and early spring the flow of water here is very large.

The Equitable Life Insurance Com
 panY Settles Claim Within Twelve
 Days of Proof of Loss.
 The Equitable Life Insurance company has the reputation of being the best life insurance com pany in the world. Not only is it solid financially and able to pay its obligations, but a very important feature of it is the promptDess with which 1t settles its death claims "a feature often of lhe very greatest importance to the bensficiIries Of its policy holders. All life insurance companIes are allowed sixty days to settle death claims against them, but the Equitable waives thIs time unless in special cases of doubt of some kind. Yesterday. J. 4. C.. Freund, special agent of the com pany, gave A. A. Johns, adminis' "a tor of the estate of H. E. Kri z . who Has killed in a recent min l, r accident, a check for $20O0 on policy taken out by deceased in October last. He had only paid one annual premium on the policy at the time of his death. The follow ing acknowledgment of the receipt O. the money by Mir. Johns is self eXplan rtory:
 Prescott, Ariz., May 5, 1898.

Freund, spe cial agent, pays its death claims, |, as administrator of the estate Of H. E. Kreige, deceased, received from the above named society today E,0O0, the full amount of the policy which Mir. H. E. Kreige held iD said society. And this very prompt payment was made within twelve days after proof of death was made. and within three weeks from date of death. I also take pleasure in recommending said society to all who may desire insurance, as the best. A. A. JOHNS,
