 | N. A. Mendelson, representing the California Wine and Brandy com pany of San Francisco, is in town MT. Mendelson formerly made regu- lar trips through this section in the interests of a clothing firm, but this is his first trip for eight years. He is naturally impressed with the greatly improved appearance of the town.
 Fred L. Thompson of 145 Grove avenue, died of Bright's disease about a. m. today. Mir Thompson was born in Erie, Pa. He was thirty seven years four months of age. He was employed at TwitchelPs mine, Copper creek, until about ten weeks ago, when he returned to Pres colt and has been confined to his bed most of the time. He was a model husband, kind and thoughtful, an industrious worker, careful and conscientious in all that he did. He knew that his end was approaching and was prepared to meet his Maker. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church of this city. The Journal Miner extends to his bereaved wife and family its sympathy in their great loss. The funeral will take place from the home, at 145 Grove avenue, Saturday at 4 p. m.
 Geo. ". Middleton did not get away yesterday, as announced in the Journal Miner and as he expected to. He was delayed until today in mak- ing his start, awaiting the return of Governor Tritle from Richenbar, the latter having gone down there to make an examination of some mining property. It is rumored that Mir. Middleton will go direct to Kansas City to arrange for a bond on the Merriwether property, adjoining the Gold Note group. Thence he will go to New York to join forces with parties whom Governor Triile has to ] take the Gold Note properties, and he will be associated with the gov ernor in the organization and work ing of these mines. If these gentle men and their friends take hold of the properties mentioned, it means a new large gold producer and the em- ployment of large force of men em- ployed in mining and milling and in i the development of our resources.
 After disagreement lasting nearly two years between the four fire com panies of Prescott, during which time they have been unable to elect a chief of the department, the contro- versy was finally settled last night by the election, by the delegates chosen by each company, of the following officers for the department: Chief, l A. A. Johns of the Dudes company, assi stant chief, Herman Voge of the Toughs company; secretary, Shirley Balderson of the O. K. company. It is to be hoped this will settle all diff faculties between the members of the fire companies, as such an important organization as this should work to- gether in perfect harmony. The Journal Miner would now suggest to the city council that they see to ii that the companies are properly equipped with up to date and effec- tive apparatus for the protection of life and property from destruction by fire, and otherwise encouraging the boys in the noble work they perform without compensation.
 Owing to the rapidly increasing business and travel between Prescott and the mining districts of Lynx creek and Groom creek, H. K.

A kast ner x Co.'S store, which will be Pres colt headquarters for the new line The new stage coach is a beauty, be ing handsomely upholstered III leather, roomy and comfortable There are front and rear booths fol holding small packages and baggage so passengers will not be annoyed by having the coach piled full ot bun dles, making the trip one of agony or account of being crowded.
