Mir. Morgan and 'Ir. Damron, who have the Arizona .dition m charge, left what they re- . card as the most likely and mature ield for their work to be last visited. They come to Prescott in the hope F md with the belief that Yavapai, the reasure countyOf the territory, will be - nXious to display an equal or great r interest in a publication which
 fleets it more directly than any of N he other counties. The edition will U lot involve political argument, but is alculated to give Arizona a fair - moving before the lawmakers of 2 his country and before mining and ther industrial investors in the east.
