THE PROSPECT SPECIAL.
An Elaborate Edition Which Beggars
Description.

When it comes to properly prais-
ing the special edition of the Pres
colt Prospect issued last week, the
News-Herald finds it's vocabulary
of superlatives somewhat limited.
1t is good one, better than ex-
pected, and the best ever issued in
or descriptive of Arizona. Its pro-
per distribution, and it is being dis
tributed in the best way possible,
will bring the wonderful mining
resources of this section Of the ter
ritory before the eastern and in
vesting public in such a forcible
way that it cannot but result in
doing an immeasureable amount of
good to the whole territory, and
especially that portion Of it con-
tiguous to Prescott, the mining CEN
ter of Arizona. The most admir-
able feature is the great number
and variety Of high class illustra-
tions made especially for the Pros
pect by it's staff photographers, one
of whom was imported from San
Francisco, where he had been
working for the Examiner. The
work was all done at home at an
expense of several thousand dol.
lars, and Editor Shultz and asso-
ciates are certainly deserving Of
much credit for their nerve in
tackling such a mammoth produc-
ton and carrying it to a most sue
cessful finish. Get g copy of it
and send to some friend in the east.
You will never regret it.
