Wickenburg Soap.

Manager Whitney Of the Phoe-
nix soap factory is engaged with
experiments with the product of
the soap mine above Wickenburg.
He does not know whether it can
be put into commercial shape, but
he believes a way can be found to
handle it. He says that while it
is not soap it will do what soap
will do and in fact attacks dirt
with much greater vigor than soap
does. The nature of the stuff has
not vet been determined. There
has been a sample of it at the
sheriff's office for a month. There
has been no noticeable evaporation
so what was at first supposed to be

RecoSnize the Founder.

The page in the Prospect de-
scriptive of Wickenburg should
contain a picture of Henry Wick
enburg in the center. Mr.. Wick
enburg is the founder Of the town
and even in it's darkest days has
stood by it, having faith that it
would some day come to the front
again. He is now being rewarded
and by retaining possession OF the
town property, which at one time
could hardly be given away, he has
become independent. He has ever
shown a willingness to do anything
which would be for the good Of the
town which bears MS name, and a
proper recognition in the Prospect
would no doubt please his numer-
Gus friends all over the territory
Mr.. Wickenburg, like Col. Postcn,
is one Of the old-timers whom
everyone has a goodword for, and,
like Col. Poston, while his generos-
ity has at several times made him

lous persons, his integrity and
honesty have always stood unque8-

The district northeast of town,
