THE PRESCOTT
 ELKS LODGE.
The Part They Will Take in the Coming
 Celebration.
Some of the rlany Interesting Features They Will Present. The Midway. The Cane Con- test.

Whenever the Elks take hand in anything their name in connection with it is a synonym of success. That is their general reputation, universally and the Prescott lodge is no excep- ton.
 The committee appointed by the Prescott lodge of Elks for the pur- pose of arranging program for the coming festivities have decided to hold Street Fair with a genuine Midway, July 4, 5, and 6.
 There will be an attractive floral booth on the plaza, where young la dies will sell beautiful buttonhole boquets made of flowers of the na- tional colors. They will also sell the official souvenir badge of the celebra- tion and huge unique red, white and blue rosettes. At this booth will also be dispensed lemonade and de- icious popcorn crisps.
 On the midway there will be an Edison projectoscope, which will give exhibitions every hour until II p. m. during the three days, with an entire change of program each day. Among the latest and best views shown will be the great Paris exhibition, in all its beauty with a panoramic view from Eifel tower, ascending and descending; the Galveston flood, showing in actual motion, and true to life size the city of Galveston laid in ruins; the bom bardment of Taku forts by the allied fleets; Carrie Nation smashing a sa- loon, and many comical scenes which will make you laugh till your sides ache.
 Another prominent feature will be the optical illusion Cabaret de la Mort, and still another will be the mystifying "Juno.'
 There will be an "Artful Dodger" to throw base balls and eggs at for 'so much per dozen" and many other wonderful, interesting and amusing features.
 The interest already shown in the contest for gold headed cane to be presented on the evening of July 6, to the gentleman receiving the highest number of votes as the most popular man in Yavapai county, bids fair to create a lively interest among the general populace of the county before the contest is ended. Ballot boxes have been placed in Robinson's cigar store, Brisley's drug store, Geo. H. Cooks jewelry store, the Windsor, E. A. Kastner & O., Modens ice cream parlor, Ed Shumate's ice cream parlor and the Palace. The votes are sold at 10 cents each and all are invited to vote early and as often as they pleaseii Equal suffrage will be upheld and it is hoped that through the help of the ladies that the best man will win. A result of the ballot as it stood at 8:30 o'clock last evening will be found else where in this issue.

YAVAPAl AT BUFFALO.
Arizona Leading all Competitors in Uniqueness as We'll as Magnitude
 of Her Exhibit.

The Western Mining Herald has the following to say about the ore exhibit from this county at the Buff falo exposition.
 Arizona is leading all competitors in the uniqueness of her exhibit, as we'll as in magnitude. Yavapai coun- ty, the home of the great United Verde, whose millions of annual pro duction are known throughout the world; the home of the many new mines just in course of development among which may be mentioned the Black Hills, the Iron King and the Mingus Mountain mines; Yavapai county is second to none in elaborate ness and value of her display, and probably equals that of any state in the union. Her gold interests are re presented by a stamp mill, complete in every detail, from the rock breaker down to the vanner, in order to show gold reduction in all its minutiae. Many tons of ore and concentrates have been put on the exhibition grounds to keep the mill going DOT ton of each day. The largest display will be of copper and copper ores, the magnitude of which industry sur passes any other branch of mining. A train load of enormous pieces of ore have been utilized in making up the great pyramid, which is one of the wonders of the exposition. A writer who recently visited the the grounds mentions the Arizona state exhibit as having left fragrant impression in his memory, and it is the only state he mentions in the mines and mining building. Had he gone into more careful investigation he would have discovered that Yavapai county is to be credited with the large portion. The stamp mill alone is a wondrous and novel piece of machinery to most people, and by it's awful chatter pre- vents all possibility of Yavapai coun- ty of being overlooked at the great fair.

A CURIOUS YANKEE NOTION.
The ''TcIediaGraph- and Its Wonder full Performances Are Not
 Commonly Known.

There are few people who know that letters and pictures can be sent by telegraph. Indeed, s9 persons in 100 imagine that such a thing cannot be done. But they are mistaken, says Chauncey AcGovern, in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. You can send your photograph from New York city to your friend in San Fran cisco and get his letter of thanks within the space of single hour Nor will the letter you receive be mysterious series of dots and dashes, but will look exactly as your friend has written it. It will be in hjs per sonal handwriting; not in ths hand writing of a telegrspher- If your friend fails to dot an 'i." you will re- ceive it without the dot If he un- derlines 6 word. crosses out another, puts a capital in the wrong place. you will see the letter with all these peculiarities.
 The apparatus that makes possible such wonderful feats is called by the inventor the ''telediagraph-" Consult the older words telegraph" "tele- gram" and telephone" the new term is their second cousin.
 The telediagraph is not a mere promise made by an Over-enthusias- tic inventor. It will soon have been in commercial operation for 6 whole two years. Why, then. do so few peo- pie know about the invention? Sim ply because the inventor saw fit A months ago to give the exclusive use of the apparatus to a syndicate of six American newspapers for the pc riod of two years. On the 18th of April that time expires, and the pie ture telegrsphine machines can be installed in every telegraph office in tha world

Hildreth has had over ten years of practical experience as a registered pharmacist and has the reputation of being one of the most careful and accurate pharmacists in this section, qualities that one appre- ciates when they want prescription compounded which may mean life or death to themselves or loved one.
 The room was arranged especially for drug store and is as handsome and convenient as could be desired. The front is one solid plate glass the glass being 12x14 feet, with row of nearly thirty electric lights around it which makes an ideal display window and at night is perfect blaze of cleo tric globes. A large plate glass win dow on the north side also serves as a show window.
 The fixtures are solid oak, hand somely carved and decorated with beautiful mirrors which add a charm to the interior of the store. The wall cases are all glass front which serve to protect the stock from dust and dirt, while large glass show cases are well filled with a fine new stock of toilet articles, imported and domestic toilet soaps, lotions, perfumes, cigars, etc. In fact the entire stock, which is complete in ever detail, is fresh and pure, and everything that is usually kept in first class pharmacy can be found there.
 Mir. Hildreth's personal popularity combined with his reputation as first-class drug man, his complete stock and splendid location all be- speak for him abundant success.

AN ODD INDUSTRY,
The Manufacture of Ffshfng Tackle
 and Surgical Thread from silk Worm Intesttnss.

A curious industry is the manufac- ture of silk-worm gut for fishing tackle. The best of it comes from the Spanish silk fields A silk worm ready to spin it's cocoon has within a long, much convoluted intestine filled with pure fluid silk. The gut makers take such worms. snip off both ends, then deftly draw out the full intestine, straighten it, pass it through sundry chemical solutions to cleanse and strengthen it, and at last dry it and tie it in punches, says an industrial ex- change.
 The result is a filament several yards long. strong, fine, elastic and in water nearly invisible. This is the gut leader attached to the end of braid ed line, to hold the hook.
 Silk worm gut is also useful in sur gerry. It has possibly the greatest tex tile strength proportioned to size of any known hgature.
 Chemistry has found out way to do in tanks what the worm does in it's stomach. that is, how to dissolve woody fiber into a clear, rOpy, liquid. This is spun by forcing it through in- numerable tiny holes in a brass cylin- der. Then the threads are chemically treated, washed. dried, hot pressed and variously tortured The result is thread that looks and feels like raw silk, but lacks the strength of true silk It is used for wool in many mills with real silk warp.

WILLIAMS
 WIPED OFF
 THE EARTH.
Electric Light Went Wrong, Making a Necessity of use of Lamps Which Caused the Con- flagratiOn.
The Total Loss Placed at One Million
 DolIars---list of The Heaviest Losers.

Williams, July, 2,-(Special to Jour nal -Miner)-The town of Williams, so far as the business portion of the town is concerned was practically wiped of the face of the earth at an early hour this morning, by fire. The fire broke out in the store of T. A. Fleming from the explosion of lamp that was left burning during the night on account of an accident to the electric light plant which caused it to be closed down for the night. The flames had made considerable head way before being discovered and all efforts to stop their progress was un- availing as they swept everything be- fore them, leaving nothing this morn- ing of the town but bare waste of ground. Conservative estimate of the total loss places it S1,0OO,OOO.
 The principal losers are as follows: J. P. Parker, owner of Hotel Tolfree, S35, 900; Geo. U. Youug, proprietor of | Williams News, Sl2,OOO; Max Salz- man, merchant, Sl00,OO0; Poison Bros., merchants, S5O,OOO; NJ. L. Rainey, S25,OOO; T. A. Fleming, mer- chant, S5,OOO; W. A. Dodson, S6,0OO; Geo. w. Martin, S7 900; W. M. Hay ward, Sl2,OOO; J. c. Phelan, S2,0O0; Jos Johnson, S3,0O0; E. M. Twitty, S2,OOO; James Walsh, $l,0OO; Julius Wexler, S6,OOO; B. F. Sweetwood, S3,OOO; Harry Loeb, S2,5OO; Captain P. Smith & O., Sl,OO0; H. F. Ash hurst, attorney, S2,50O; Tetzloff, s. 800; Geo. Matthewson, S3,0OO; c. E. Boyce, 5000; Williams Drug Co.,, S10OOO; l.. Schay, S3,0O0; Simpsons Opera house, SS,0O0; Nalskolski, S7, 900; A. B. Bruner & Son, $500; But ton Furniture house, S5,0OO.
 Besides the above there are num- Der of smaller losers whose names were not obtainable and the amount of losses not known. It is impossible to estimate the total loss exactly at the present time but it is as stated above. A very small percentage of the losses were covered by insurance probably not more than ten or fifteen per cent.
 The fire started about 2:30 a. m There was virtually no water supply and no fire hose to fight the fire with No lives lost so far as known.

A SILVER WEDDING.
A Brilliant Gathering on Satur- day Night to Celebrate the Twenty Fifth Anniversary of Mir. and Hrs w. (. BaShford'S S rlarriage.
Only Two of the Guests of Twenty Five Years ago Present, and Only Seven Present Who We're Residents of Prescott a Quarter of a Century ago.

Mir. and Mrs. W. c. Bashford cele- brated the twenty fifth anniversary of their marriage on Saturday night at their handsome residence in east Prescott. The spacious and beauti- fully kept grounds surrounding their residence were illuminated with Chi uese lanterns of variovs colors pro ducing beautiful effectin the foliage of the trees and upon the green lawn. Tee interior of the residence was also very tastefufly decorated with deli cate clusters and festoons of ever green. Over the window of the par Tor where the couple received their friends was a cluster of electric lights of yarous colors over a back ground of green forming the numbers '1S76 -1901." The rooms and grounds of the residence were thronged from early evening until nearly midnight with ladies and gentlemen who called to pay their respects to the couple and to extend to them congratula- tions on having reached the quarter century mark of married life. Al though the cards of invitation con tained the words ''No Presents" they were the recipients of quite a number of very handsome ones in silver, ap- proprite to the occasion.
 While the celebration of silver we'd ding anniversaries have not been un- common in Prescott, there have been but few heretofore probably two or three at most, where the parties cele- brated started on their matrimonial voyage in Prescott as this couple has.
 They were married in the Buffum residence on CorteZ street, then one of the handsomest residences in the town, afterwards known as the Alexander house and now the Globe lodging house. At that time what has since been termed as Mob HilP' was unknown, the only building in that portion of the town being the Columber house on Mt. Vernon street. The old school building which is soon to be torn down and replaced with a commodious and modern building was then in the course of construc- tion, while building on the lot on which is now situated the residence of Mir. and Mrs. Bashford was also under construction.
 Of the guests, who twenty five years ago extended their congratulations to the couple, together with good wishes for the future, only two were present to renew congratulations on the occasion of their twenty fifth an niversary. These were Mir. and Mrs. R. H. Burmister. Of those present on Saturday night, besides the above mentioned, only seven were residents of the town at the time of their mar riage, being Judge and Mrs. E. w. Wells, Mir. and Mrs. Jake Marks, Mir. and Mrs E. I. Roberts and Hugo Richards.
 The Prescott orchestra discoursed music during the evening and refresh ments were served to all present. Mir. and Mrs. Bashford are among Pres cott's most popular and respected citizens and the congratulations and well wishes which found expression in words for them on this occasion were heart felt and genuine, and in which the Journal-Miner joins.

George B. Upton. who was in Pres colt yesterday, said that the shaft on the Gro Grande mine near Wicken- burg is now down to depth of 2OO feet, and they are starting drifts and cross cuts both at this depth. They are also continuing their cross cuts and drifts at the 100 foot level. Sink ing will be resumed again in few days for another hundred feet.

Salt Lake Need. Water.

Utah proposes to avert pending ca- lamity to her agricultural section by supplying the Great Salt lake basin with needed water. Irrigation has cut of the supply, and the lake itself is in imminent danger of . drying up. The usual supply of water is being withheld, and evaporation is rapidly lowering the level of the lake. Cen turies ago the shores of the great inland salt sea were high on the mountains, where the line of the an- cient brook is visible to-day. and the lake, which has sunk to it's present dimensions, promises to disappear far more rapidly than in the ages past.
