The Steam Laundry.

The offering at Dake's opera house on Wednesday, March 13, is Wiede- mann big show in the farce comedy, "The Steam Laundry" play written on entirely new lines and unlike most farces there is well defined plot. The situation and climaxes are strong and the cast is made up of clever pee pie in their respective lines. The spe- cialties are new and bright, and the orchestra of fourteen men under the direction of Prof. Mcdonald is the strongest ever carried by a road at traction. The mammoth parade ench day at 11:30 is most unique, using two big bands, the first in the uniform of the Prussian cavalry. and the second "The Laundryman's Outing" Chi nese band with native instruments. The following is from the Clarkville, Tenn, Daily Chronicle:
 Elders opera house last night ac- commodated the largest audience of the season. The attraction was Weide- mann's big show in the farce comedy, "The Steam Laundry" The company gave clean, meritorious and pleas ing performance. The clever spe- cialties and orchestra of fourteen peo- pie were strong features" ."

Items From Groom Creek.

Groom Creek, Ariz., March, 9th Editor Journal Miner:-Out here on Groom creek, these beautiful days, with water running merrily down the gulches, something we have not had for the past year or two, every man and miner is full of business. And why should we not be, as it is one of the most promising mining districts in all Yavapai. Two years ago could stand in front of my cabin at noon and not hear a whistle; today could hear half a dozen different ones around me. But we have not only got the whistles but we have got the ore to back it up.
 At the Monte Christo they are sink ing as fast as men can go down an the gentleman who has the bond wi sure make a mine of it if it is in tn ground. But what took my eye wa the ore they are piling up on tn dump. There was hardly chunk O ore on the dump but that you could see wire and native silver through it and it was quite treat just to look at this ore.
 Up the gulch further we come to the Home Run mine. They are also sinking, and are now down some 230 feet. They will cut their station and keep right on going down. A day or two ago they struck better ore than ever but I did net find out how rich it was. wish there were more mining men on the creek like Mr. Monihan- He don't do the gophering act, look ing for rich pockets, but goes down to see whether he has a mine or not.
 At the King Kelly mine Lew Riley has finished his contract for Mir. Nolan. The shaft is now down S5 feet in good ore. They will also put on a whim and keep on going down.
 At the Midnight Test Mir. Pickrell will take off his whim and put on a hoist. This is a very rich little silver mine, and they always improve with depth in this section of the country.
 On the south extension of the Home Run group of mines is Bob Brow's and Laird's groupe of mines. They are opened up by a tunnel and shaft. They have eight full claims, one of the largest groupes of claims in this district, with plenty of timber and water.
 At the Empire mine they are run ming full blast. Dr. Hendryx has been out here for the last week; also Mir. Parker, mining engineer from Spokane Falls.
 We now have two saloons on Groom creek, so the boys will not have to go so far for their mountain dew. We also have a stage line that goes as far as the Home Run mine, so all you have to do is to take the Groom creek stage to reach any part of the coming great mining district.
 I believe if some good man was to come and rustic to get a postoffice centrally located and get little store and eating house, where men could stop over night, it would not be long before he could build up nice trade. As it is, man coming here looking for work has to put up at a saloon or go back to Prescott the same day, and it would keep him pretty busy to do | this and go around to the mines in | one day. T. J. Laird.

Fifteen Successful Seasons.

During the whole period of the ex- istence of the Andrews Opera com
 pany, fifteen consecutive successful seasons, they have never carried SC evenly balanced company nor pre- sented as attractive a repertoire of opera, as they are doing this season
 Always aiming to give the best possi- ble in their line, and always succeed ing to remarkable degree, it is the universal verdict of the press of the cities, where they have appeared this season, that the company is stronger in every respect than ever before. This is the highest compliment that could be paid them. The cast, taken all the way through, is without a weak point; the chorus is made up of ex- tremely pretty girls with good sing ing voices. The costumes are all new and handsome, the orchestra fine, and the performance moves with a snap and precision that is refreshing. They will appear on Monday and Tuesday evenings, March II and 12 in the opera house in Martha and Carmen.

Wiedemanns big show in the great comedy winner, "The Steam Laun dry" farce comedy in four acts, will be at the opera house next Wednes day night. The average farce comedy has no plot and the audience has tc depend on the specialties and few stale gags for the evenings amuse- ment. The plot in this play is ab- sorbing and the acting company is strong in every particular, and during the action of the play seven strong specialties will be introduced. Thirty people are carried, and the parade is one of the most unique ever put on the street. It is led by the Red Hug gar band in uniform of the Prussian Huzzars, followed by the laughing hit, "The Laundry's Outing,' a Chi nese band with native instruments. The orchestra of twelve solo musicians under the direction of Prof. McDon- ald is feature that will please lovers of high class music.
 Some of the legislative members ob- ject to d territorial appropriation of Sl0000 for the O'Neill monument, if Prescott is selected as the place to erect it. If an appropriation is made at all it should include in its provis- ions a monument for all the fallen heroes in Cuba. The privates who fell in that bloody San Juan charge were just as great heroes as the off cials.

Review of Trade Condition.

Dunn & o., makes the following report on the condition of trade ir Southern California for past month:
 Business throughout the country continues good. Bank clearings and railway earning, which are good meas ures of trade volume, indicate quite a gain in business over last year. Wool transactions are heavier, but prices tend lower. A revival in export trade in cotton is noted. There is no diminu- ton in movement of iron and steel and all markets report higher prices.
 In our immediate district interest concentrates on orange crop. Un- seasonable warm weather that has forced picking too fast and shortage in cars to move fruit has made a situa- tion that threatens serious loss to the grower. Packing houses are full of oranges ready for shipment, with practically no cars to meet the de- mand.
 Celery shipping is about over. The output from the leat-lands reached l. 500 carloads.
 Beet crop IS progressing more rap idly than at any former season. More than 5000 acres are already in at OK nard. About 15,000 acres will be planted in this vicinity. 2.O00 acres have been planted for Alamitos fac tory and many acres are being put in.
 For the first time in four years Southern California beemen look for large gathering of honey product.
 Condition of deciduous fruits and berries are promising and new can neries are being built in this section.
 Beans are quiet; prices stiff. Dried fruits and nuts are dull, holders gen erally willing to shade prices.
 The demand for labor will be un- questionably very great this year and unless there is a decided increase in of workers over last year great loss will result.
 Locally business is generally good, money active, interest rates easy, 44 to | per cent net on good security. Clear ances for month just passed show in crease of 30 per cent. over February of last year. Real estate brokers re- | port continued activity in sales of city | and country properties.
 Failures for February, seven; lia- Oilities, S27, 900; assets, S7,000; against -welve for same month last year, with | liabilities of SS0,000 and assets, S50,- )00.

The Santa Fe has leased ten engines from the Union Pacific. Some time ago the Santa Fe placed an order for number of new locomotives, but en- zine builders have been rushed with work and the locomotives have not been delivered. In the meantime the traffic on the railroad has increased and it has been found necessary to get additional motive power at once. The locomotives which are coming from the Union Pacific have been stored for some time at Cheyenne Wells, Colo. They are of the light eight-wheel type and are manufactured by the Bald win, Brooks and Rhode Island com panies. They will go into service out of Topeka.
 The informal negligee party which was to have taken place at Dougherty hall tonight has been postponed on account of the weather. Next regular class and hop, March 18th, as usual.

Fate of Al. Watkins.

Al Watkins and one Francis were bartenders at the opera house saloon about year ago, says the Gallup Re publican. Last spring they left, go ing vest Watkins bought some bur ros at Congress, Ariz., on the $. F. 6 P. railroad and started east on pros pecting trip. That was the last seen of him alive. He was worth several thousand dollars. Francis got rail road foreman at Williams to indorse a certificate of deposit for $500, which had been issued to Watkins. It had been supposed until this time that Watkins had committed suicide. Wat kins' brother came out from the east and started detectives on a hunt for Francis, who was reported in Mexico. Three different men have been arrest ed and taken to Congress for identifi cation, but none of them proved to be Francis. There is no doubt but that he will soon be caught.-Albuquerque Citizen.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

If the present legislature was re
 publican instead of democrati,
 wouldn't there be blue blaze of howl

 on account of its extravaganza.

 tically endorses the petition to H. T
 Andrews to consent to become a can didate for school trustee for an other term. This district cannot af- ford to swap horses while in the mid dle of a stream. It is right in the middle of new school building stream now, and there should be no hault or interruption or interference with the board while this is under way. Whether from any superior ability possessed by the present board or from other causes, it is a fact that under their administration for the past two or three years the schools have given better satisfaction than ever before. Harmony has prevailed between the board and the teachers as well as among the teachers them selves all of which has been condu- cive to the best interests of the school The board has also been extremely fortunate in the selection of teachers. and it would be difficult to find a more earnest, competent and en- thuslastic or more efficient corps of teachers than those now in charge of the Prescott schools. While the mat ter of the new school building, which has been inaugurated by the present board is of sufficient importance that the board in its entirety be retained as at present, the past success of the schools has been such also as to justify patrons of the school to urge Judge Andrews to become candidate for reelection, and it is hoped that he will not only do so, but that his cleo tion may be secured without opposi- tion.
 The Williams News voices the sen timent of large proportion of the citizens of the territory in the follow ing item: "If the delegates from O. conino county support that reform school bill, now before the legislature, their constituents should place them in exile forever. Arizona has just as much use for reform school as the devil has for holy water. It's a steal. and should be promptly set upon."
