 T. J. Howell, an extensive rancher of Skull Valley, was in Prescott last Saturday on business and made the Journal Miner office very pleasant call. Mir. Howell says the weather has not been the best for the ranches in the valley, the cold weather having hung on so long that the vegetation was set back considerably and did not attain the growth it should have made before beginning to blossom. He says they are beginning to need some rain pretty bad now.

 J. B. Girand spent the first of teh week in the city, on his return from a short business trip to Prescott. Tuesday he departed for the Cataract Canyon country to proceed with the extensive work outlined by the Unit ed Gold and Platinum Mines Go. Within the next few weeks work will commence on a wagon road from a point on the Canyon railroad, down Cataract Canyon to Supai village. As soon as this has been completed work will be commenced on a rail road over the same ground and the installation of gigantic smelter and electric power plant in the canyon begun. This is an enormous under taking, as the road is we'll nigh i'm passible. Williams News, March 21.
 The youthful soldiers have attract ed a great deal of favorable attention from our citizens. as we'll as from Whipple. A non-commissionedo officer from Whipple came up on Saturday and drilled the boys for couple of hours. This is one of the most com mendable things that has yet been started by Prescott boys and should re- ceiye encouragement. It inspires the youthful heart to patriotism, as we'll as teaches him discipline. One of the splendid regulations of the company is that no swearing, smoking cigar etes or other improper conduct is permitted. They have guard house where those infracting the rules are kept, and the rules are strictly en- forced. Success to the young militia company.
