 J. NJ. Hay, an experienced and enterprisinG young druggist arrived in Prescott last evening from St Paul, Minn., to take charge of the Mountain City drug store.

 The work upon the foundation for the bridge that is building across the creek between Granite and Me Cormick streets, on Gur.ey streets, is progressing rapidly. The wall placed on the east side of the creek is nearing completion and the ex- cavation on the west side is being pushed with all vigor. It will be hard to estimate the advantage to Prescott in having perfectly sub- sfantial and safe bridge spanning the main part of the city with that part that bids fair to be one of the best residence portions. It is too often the case that creek or a rail- road severing the two portions of city retsrds the development of the newer portion, and it would seem that this possibility has been an ticipated and measures taken to prevent any such danger by remov- ing the obst acles.

Globe and numerous points of interest, particularly in the game districts, They report that isolated country to be the sportsmen's para disc where deer and turkey abound in swarms. MT. Dolly says that in many places deer have been hunted so little that there is not the slight est difficulty in approaching them. But the much-talked of ''bar" that we hear so much of seemed to have been taking his vacation as none were seen on the trip. As for pros pecting they had no luck, not even stalking out claim. although they report having seen some copper that at least looked good. In that terri tory little prospecting seems to have been done. These young men wound , up their most delightful trip by spending few days duck hunting upon the Indian reservation just east of Phenix, where Mr. Dolly's . brother-in- IS agent for the Pima , Indians
