beneath .Le earth, untold wealth which only awaits the magic touch of capital and muscle to wrest Il from is hiding place to be utilized in ,he building up and adornmeni Of a great city
 h providing this mineral wealth it has been done with no ParsimOni ous hand. as nearly every preciou: metal known is found.
 With all these natural advantage: p1ovided. nothing Is left for tho community but to take advantage O. them and build and beautify. ana make of Prescott the prettiest hea'thiest and most prosperous city in the territory.
 The burning question of the houl for the accomplishment of this end is tha, Of a water supply and sewer age system.
 With these secured other adTan faces and improvements are bound to follow.
 These are needed as the firm foundation stone upon which all other improvements must rest.
 Assurances have been received from Washington that with an sieaua-e supply of good, pure wa ter. Wh.pple will not only be main taiuad ss a military post. but will be rsbuI. and enlarged.
 While the maintainance of a mili- tarr pose al Whipple is a necessity as.is from any pecuniary benefit which Prescott may derive from 1t the latter proposition is one vel worth considering by the commu nitv.
 Pans aul estimates have beer preparad by the city engineer, aP- prrrei by the advisory board O a1-ia,.-rs. for a water system, which II :s claimed. will give l.250OOO gal Ions O. water per day, the tota cost af winch system is placed a SSto0o.
 OuY citizens will soon be called up5n to take action on this matter aud it is hoped that every citizen o the place will put his shoulder tc the wheel a-d help t along.
 Just now the city health officer i' wrestling with uuisances existing II the town. and working to secure their abatement.
 In uiae eases out of ten where these exist. they are the fault o existing conditions, rather than O the property owners, where thel .x;.t and are caused from a want O sewerage.
 Filth accumulates on the sur face. dec5mposes. and eventuali, filters down through the soil, con tausaauug the water in the well: breeding disease and death
 With sewerage and water thl could 5e avoided. and the bouquet ot f.-I smelling odor and deat d,.'iEg fumes which now accumu la,e :u our alleys would become thing of the past.
 Sewerage is essential for the fur ther improye,aeD. of the place, 8 well as Tor the present and tuiur health of il.
 Men of means will not inve: money iu the construction ot hn buildings without this all imPortar adjunct tc their success.
 Those uho have tried it in th way of building fine residences ar y.rr much dissatisfied with thei  experiment.
