IRON KING PARTY
Arrives in Prescott Last Night and lake Sights of
 the City.
Leave This Morning For an Inspection of the Company's
 Pcpsrty.

The party of stockholders of tho American Copper company, consisting of thirty-one gentlemen from New York City and Kansas City, Mo, ar rived in Prescott last night, their spe- cia Pullman ear Nalcour being attach ed to the south bound passenger train. The party paid a visit to the Grand Canyon Saturday and were so filled with wonder and awe at the sight that they refuse to eve, e'tempt to express their opinion of this greatest wonder of the globe The party is composed largely of wealthy business men of the above two cities, the larger part being from New York, and having been actively engaged in the affairs of that great business center had never before paid visit to this section and their only idea of the place was what they had gathered from reading of it. One of the party, a very wealthy gen tleman of New York, who had never been further west than Buafflo. was so amazed at the distances in the great west that he began to give up all hope of ever reaching his destination.
 The gentlemen composing the party are splendid representatives of the in telligent, solid. wealthy business men of the east, who when they take hold of proposition and are thoroughly convinced of its merits. have the means and intelligence to carry it to a successful termination. and visits to our section by parties of such men, means more than can be calculated, for when they have seen with their own eyes and personally examined into our mining possibilities they will be ready and anxious to put their money into the development of the country.
 Arthur Kimberly. of New York, secretary of the company was in charge of the party. and it kept him busy looking after the unruly young scamps who were like lot of school kids turned loose for a vacation. Geo. H. Birdsall, the grandpa of the party, would put Peck's Bad Boy to shame. Although man apparently 75 years of age he could cut more monkey shines and make more fun than circus clown After the party i arrived last night they started out to | see what real cut west town looked | like under the pas lights.'' They i ''took in'' Whiskey Row to finish and this morning they were up early visiting the stores aT2 looking over the city. They purchased many cu- rious souvenirs of the place and without exception expressed them selves as perfectly delighted with | Prescott. The air was frosty and i crisp, just typical Prescott winter morning, and they were loud in their praise of our climate. In fact they were in high spirits over their trip.
 Their special car Valcour is one of | the most elegant ever seen in this sec tion, in fact few of such are ever brought to the west IL contains g ! berths and is furnished in a gorgeous manner in the interior with every convenience of a modern Pullman car. The exterior is trimmed in beau tiful onyx and is a sight 10 be ad- mired. Thgcar was attached to the Meyer train at S:30 this morning and left for the Iron King mine. the prop erty of the company, where General Manager Ben Blanchard will welcome them.
