 Howard Legge, who as mining authority is well spoken of, was to have left for the coast today, but after sizing up his financial status, hesi- tated, and at last accounts was wrest- ling viciously with that safe in front of the Prescott hotel, so as to be well heeled and loaded when he reached his destination.
 Fred Philpott and Chas. Herndon have formed a co-partnership, and have offices in the Arizona bank build ing-rooms 22 and 23. They propose to do stenography and typewriting The boys are well enough known to our readers not to need formal introduction, as they have lived and grown up here. Success to you, boys; may the firm live long and prosper.
 Shortly before 6 p. m. last evening the fire bell rang and soon cloud of smoke could be seen issuing from the house of Under Sheriff Johns just back of Goldwater's store. The house was occupied by Rev. Bennett. It was only by the timely arrival of the "Toughs" that prevented the building from being in ashes today. Consid- erable damage was done, but was fully covered by insurance. Rev. Bennett demonstrated that he is still a boy by his run from West Prescott. The fire is supposed to have caught from an oil stove in the rear of the house.

 J. Q. Stephens of Williamson val ley, is visiting town today and instead of conversing on oil matters, is now handling range affairs, having just and delivered to his farm there a bunch of sixteen of the finest Hereford bulls money could buy. Mir. Stephens is an authority on the cattle business and handles the affairs in his line from a scientific point of view, saying it is just as easy to have the best as the poorest of anima Is, and that the cattle business is no ex- ception to the application of the gen. eral rule that blood will tell in that line as well as in other channels.
 It would take volumes to hold all the commendable things that are be- ing said about the new National bank building now going up in this city. Like the granite boulders that are about to be placed in position it is to be gigantic affair in one respect and beautiful in the other, in short. as a stranger said, ''It will unquestionablv be the finest building of its size in the United States" Already the building is becoming known even in San Francisco, and when finished it will hold its own" with any structure What contrast there is between the Prescott of today to that of but less than year ago, and what would the average Hassayamper of a few years ago say to the shifting of the scene as he faced this magnificent work, which takes its station among the permanent pillars of the city's on ward progress. ..---
 w. $. Adams, of Jerome, the editor of the Mining News, is visiting our city today. Like the fraternity gen erally speaking he has a decidedly pretty and substantial regard to pre- sent his listeners on the future possi- bilities of his section ill mining and for that matter will size up the thrift ness of the place as it shows up at present alongside of anyother locality Tn the west. On the question of a monthly pay roll which Jerome has to its credit from companies indepen- dent of the United Verde, MT. Adams says S3O,OOO is fair estimate of the amount disbursed, while in numbers of miners at work and companies operating in adjacent hills and ra- vines it is veritable network of min ing shafts and tunnels, a panorama of activity and progress, such as cannot be found anywhere in the west today. He feels enthusiastic over recent rich strikes, and mentions that of the Ven ture Hill, the Brookshire. Hull's mines and others which are getting deeper. and also richer as they are developed. MT. Adams is not alone in his mineral prophecies. and while his zeal is nat urally of the fondest for his home section, Jerome and vicinity are rated in mining circles. nevertheless as the grandest in the United States, and no better argument to sustain its
