AN ATHLETIC CLUB.
Proposition to Organize an Institution
 of This Kind in Prescott.

A movement is now under way among the young men of Prescott to organize a first class athletic club and from what the Journal Miner has learned will be organized as follows :: The club is to be organized as an in corporated company with 30. 900 shares of stock of s1 per share, par value to be owned and controlled by the mem- bers exclusively. Each member, upon paying his initiation fee of S4, which includes the first monthly dues, is en- titled to four shares of this stock. A. B. NOxOn, who has charge of the swimming baths, in connection with his billiard and pool rooms, has sub mitted very fine proposition to the members, which should the club bel started, would prove great advantage to one and all, it is that, for a small consideration, he offers to join, in conjunction with the club his swim ming baths, with billiard and pool rooms also thereby giving the mem- bers more facilities than they would have in other quarters. He also states that the building adjoining the Odd Fellows building can he leased. and by using the ground floor for the gymnasium with the rooms upstairs for club rooms. Prescott would then have an athletic club to be proud of.
 This is something that Prescott should have and the Journal Miner trusts that the young men may be successful in carrying out this pro- feet

MERCY HOSPITAL ADDITION.
Work Nearing Completion of This
 Magnificent Institution.

The addition to the Sisters hospital in West Prescott is nearing comple- 'tiOn and the structure presents very imposing appearance. The addition is 5Ox65 feet, just the size of the ori- ginal thus doubling the capacity of the institution. It contains fifteen wards, bath room and one surgical room. The latter will be very con veniently fitted up. Large corridors, eight feet wide, extend through the building, facilitating the means for proper ventilation.
 When the work now in progress is completed, Mercy hospital, in Pres colt, will be second to none in the southwest.
 It will compare favOrably with any hospital in Los Angeles in its com pleteness and arrangement for the comfort of its guests, although of course not so large as they. There will be nothing in either New Mexico or Arizona that will equal it in size or otherwise.
 w. S. Elliott is the architect of the new addition, furnishing the plans for it and experimenting its construc- tion, Mir. Skinner being the con- tractor, and the work is all first class in every respect.
 Ed Kiehl has the plumbing con- tract, which calls for the latest in the way of sanitary work. The good sis ters are to be congratulated on their success in providing such an up to date institution for the cure of the sick.

WILL DREDGE HASSAYAMPA.
A Company Which Proposes to Wrest the Gold Contained in the Gravel
 of the Above Stream.

The Hassayampa Gold Dredging company is making active prepara- tions to commence work on the Has sayampa river at an early date. Ma chinery has been purchased and on Saturday the company made cash payment of S1, 800 on its S3, GOO option on A. A. Moore's ranch. The mode of operation of this company was ex- haustively written up a few months ago. Briefly told it consists of boat on which the machinery is placed, after an excavation is made, in the bed of the stream. of sufficient depth to permit it to float It will float in four feet of water. It is capable of digging down then a distance of fifty feet if necessary. The gravel is taken out, around the boat or barge. and the gold is extracted from it. The gravel of the Hassayampa is known to be rich in gold, the problem hereto fore being as to the best means of get ting it out at a profit. The Hasa yampa Gold Dredging company thinks it has adopted a plan to solve the problem and are expending a large sum of money, preparatory to com mencing operations.
