WiDgheld states that while the Verde valley has an altitude of less than two thousand feet and Pres colt has over five thousand feet, the former place secured just twice the amount of snow that the latter did and that the ground is just becoming visible to the eye. During the big snow he started to move his residence a structure 50x32 feet, across Clear Creek, distance of nearly half mile, and gave the contract to George Giles. Giles used the ordinary appliances at the start, but as the weather became colder and the snow harder, the Pres cOtt house mover made a pair of run ners and sailed smoothly over the ground with the help of only an old mule in less time than by the usual roller process and with no damage whatever to the house. MT. Wingtield suggests that Giles is the proper person to move the peni- tentiary to Prescott if the legisla- ture will permit him to get a hitch on it.
