mate friends of MT. Miller and Miss Minty were greatly taken by surprise.
 It was generally surmised that the nupJialS were soon to be sClemnized, but the idea had got abroad that this was to be the happy day, and it's an ticipation by twenty-four hours has doubtless disarranged many well banned provision of enthusiastic friends !The pair tOCk a special out of camp at , o'clock this morning and
 left Ash Fork this afternoon for the
 coast The major portion Of the honeymoon will be spent at Ho,el Cor
 cnado, and all principal points of in terest on the coast will doubtless be visited before MT. and Mrs. Millers re- turn in six weeks or so. MT. and Mrs. T. F. Miller, the parents of the groom, came out from California to attend the wedding, and the young pair start cut with the brightest of auguries and under the happiest auspices, carrying with them a world of gratulatory fe- licitations. On their return they will reside al the home Of General Minty until such time as their own residence shall be completed, ground for which will iGe broken in 2 few days. It will occupy a site between the brides form CT home and the residence of J. c. Tal- bolt.

 The rain of last week lasting the better part cf three days was a god send to this se-itiOn of the country, and more of it will be most heartily welcomed.

 Building and building talk, princi- paliy the latter, are very active. A number of substantial buildings is as sured, but there is going to be nothing like the boom in this line that was at first anticipated It will cost money and plenty of it to. put up structures such as are necessary under the fire ordinances, and many of those who suffered by the recent fire cannot com mand the requi site resources at a mo- ment's notice. Hence buildings are 10 go up slowly. Real estate values, however, remain firm and with strong upward tendency. There seems to be general mOVem ent cut to the hog back" where building lots are at present to be had for very reason able figures. It would seem that the future residence portion of Jerome is destined to be in that locality.
 John Brennan, an old miner and prOsp pect0r, well known throughout the Pacific coast died at the home of Judge Harvey last week of old age and ex- pcsure.
 The members of the Jerome gun club will probably desert the traps for a season. The doves in the valley are more tempting than the back and yellow saucers, and have an edible entirely absent from the discs. The trout season has alsa. opened and q number of Jerome adopts in the gentle art Of Izaac WaIton tote their poles down to Oak creek on every available opportunity

Woods is removing from the old Baptist church, which he has into a hospital for sev- era. months, to the magnificent new stone and brick hospital erected for his tenancy by the Copper company.
