NEW STYLE HOUSES.
Contractor w. w. Wood Introduces a New Method For Constructing
 Dwellings.

With the general improvement in all lines and branches of industry in the new Prescott has come new me thod for constructing dwelling houses. While the method is by no means new one in many places it has never been used here until Contractor w.. W. Wood adopted it this winter, and thus far it seems to be giving good satisfaction and it is said by those who have seen these houses in Cali fornia and other places, that they give splendid satisfaction and stand the test of time remarkably well, one house in particular, which has been standing in Los Angeles for nearly twenty years and is almost as good as when new.
 The plan of constructing these houses is as follows: The frame of the house is constructed just as if it were to be plastered and covered with rustic, but instead of the rustic it is lathed on the outside and covered first with a coat of stucco and cement. As soon as this coat is dry another coat of cement and sand is put on and while this is still moist third coating of cement and sand is put on in what is called a splash coat, that ;s if is ,oixod thin and thrown on with paddles, making thick, rough covering, but one which looks well when dry. The inside is then plast- cred in the usual manner.
 It is claimed these houses are ex- ceptionally warm and comfortable in the winter, and also are cool and pleasant in summer, on account of there being very little wood work to hold the heat.

TIE CONGRESS STRIKE.
Strikers Become Demonstratiye and Threatening and Force of of' ficers are Found Necessary
 To Keep the Peace.

Contrary to previously published reports, the Congress Gold company has not closed down their mill or mine, but both have been kept in operation although with diminished force. The company expects to be able to continue to keep both in oper- ation despite the strike which is now on there.
 Among the instruments filed for record yesterday was an item an nouncing the appointment ot eight deputies by Constable Pete Boscha. A gentleman who arrived from there recently explained the reason for this by stating that on Thursday a demonstration was made by the strikers with the apparent pur- pose of intimidating those who continued to work. A proces sion was formed in which the wives of the strikers appeared, and which was led by the Italian band of the camp. The strikers were addressed by President Burton of the Miners Union.
 No overt act has been committed and no breach of the peace has been made yet by the strikers and 1t IS said that they claim that no violence will be offered as they seem confident oi winning out by peaceable means.
 On the other hand the company Is moving along and are getting new men to take the place of the striker: and while the force ia not large tecy expect to be able 10 keep going Heretofore Mexicans have not beer employed as miners to any great ex tent but since this strike d number ot them have been put at worA the! give good satisfaction.
