Two Hearts Made One.

The Hotel Congress parlors were
the scene of a pretty wedding last
evening at which time the hearts and
fortunes of two of Yavapai county's
most worthy and estimable young peo-
pie were Joined for life. The happy
couple we're John J. Reddick and
Miss Josephine Hance, both of Camp
Verde, Arizona. Rev. L. o. Lewis in
few we'll chosen words spoke the
ceremony which made them man and
wife.
About twenty friends and acquaint-
ances had gathered in the parlors to
witness the launching of this worthy
young couples matrimonial bark, and
at a little past 9 o'clock Richard
Lamson struck up a wedding march
on the piano and the wedding party
entered the room, the bride leaning on
the arm of the groom. They were &C

YEAR OF DISASTERS.

The year 1903 has so far been rec
ord breaker for disasters. The Kan
as floods, it is estimated, says the To-
peka journal, have caused a loss of
millions of dollars. Other western
states have been damaged millions
and the crops so injured that the
eventual loss will amount to many
millions more. Then following close
upon these troubles have been storm
damages in Georgia and South Caro-
lima which will surely reach ten mill
ions estimating property loss only.
Of course the loss of life in the west
and south cannot be estimated in dol
lars and cents. In addition have been
the forest fires throughout the coun-
try and the injury all along the At
Iantic coast due to the drought. There
is no way of accurately estimating
these losses, but they will swell the
grand total several millions more.
| Now comes a flood in Oregon accom-
panied by an appalling loss of life.
The loss of wages due to strikes and
the stoppage of productive operations
is fully as great as the losses due to
natural causes. The American people,
however, have plenty of energy ano
courage to rally under such affiiction:
and they will meet and repair al
these disasters so far as the material
/ loss is concerned.

patrons wants and his genial manner.
he has made a host of friends. He
was employed with Frank Andrews in
the blacksmith shop in Prescott for
some time before going to Camp
Verde, and consequently has a large
number of friends in this city who
join in wishing him much joy in life.
The bride is The oldest daughter of
George Hance, one of the oldest and
most prosperous farmers in this part
of the territory. She was born and
reared at the old homestead in the
valley, and is a genuine Arizona girl.
She is a prime favorite with everyone
who has had the pleasure of her &C
quaintance, being of kind hearted,
modest disposition-one of those char
acters whom to know is to love and
admire. She is a graduate of the ter
ritorial normal school at Tempe, and
for time was one of the county's
most successful teachers. She has
great many friends in Prescott and
their unanimous wish will be that
her life may be long and happy with
the life companion OF her choice.
They will remain in Prescott until
Tuesday when they will return to
Camp Verde where Mr.. Reddick has
comfortable home awaiting to receive
its queen, and where they will take
up their future Residence.

Cow Men Have Duel.

A telegram from Holbrook to the
Albuquerque Citizen dated June 10
gives the following account of a dead
ly duel between two prominent stock
men of that section: ''News reached
here today of the killing of Henry
Barrett and probably the mortal
wounding of Prime Coleman, on the
Apache Indian reservation, about 100
miles south of this place, on the 10th
inst. Both men are we'll known, hav
ing been residents of Apache county
many years. Both were engaged in
the stock business. From meager ac-
counts of the affairs obtainable at this
hour it would seem that the two men
had dispute over grazing permits on
the reservation Barrett received four
pistol wounds in the abdomen and
died within a few minutes. Coleman
was shot through both thighs, besides
having his head severely beaten with
the butt of six shooter in the hands
of Barrett. Coleman was still alive
at last accounts, but was expected to
die from his injuries. This is one OF
the most lamentable tragedies that has
occurred in this locality for many
years. BotR men were married and
we'll respected throughout this section
of the country"

Chicago Visitors.

A party of Chicago capitalists who
are interested in the properties of the
Climax Gold company, and other
mining properties in this county, ar
rived from the east this morning and
took teams for Quartz mountain this
afternoon. The party consists Of
Thos. H. Cannon, J. J. Sloan, W. S.
Burling, ]. F. Lamberton. d. c. Ba-
con, and John E. Ericsson. Some of
the above gentlemen we're among the
large party of Chiacgo people who Wis
tied the Merchants Mining company
and the BraganZa Mining company's
properties some six or eight weeks
ago. and are interested in those prop
critics. The party will spend day at
the Climax Gold company's property
and thoroughly inspect the work
which has only recently begun under
the new management, but which is
making such a wonderful showing.
They were met in Prescott by j. G..
Rankin and Governor Wolfiey who took
them to the mines this afternoon.
Upon their return from Quartz
mountain they will take the train
Monday morning for the Big Bug sec
ton and pay a visit to the Henrietta
properties belonging to the Braganza
Gold Mining company, and probably
also the Merchants Mining company's
properties. They will leave for Chi
cago Tuesday morning.

ARIZONA
TOURISTS

This mornings north bound pas
senger train brought a good list of
Phenix people up to Iron Springs.
The past two weeks of hot weather has
started the residents of that city on
the run in every direction. 1t is said
a larger number of them will spend
the summer at Iron Springs this year
than any previous year. The sooner
Arizona people learn that they are
financially ahead when they stay in
Arizona for the summer and spend
their money here, the better it will be
for them. 1t has been the custom for
"a long time with Arizona people to
board the train at the first appearing
of spring and rush off to California
to spend the summer land all their
money!. Mighty little of this money
ever finds its way back to this sec
ton, and the result is that Arizona
keeps dumping all her surplus cash
into the lap of California to the fin
ancial disadvantages of our own ter
ritory. Another thing in this con-
nection which results disastrously to
our own merchants, is that people will.
wait till they get to the "city" to
buy their dress goods, millinery,
clothing, etc thinking that they will
save a little on them. When they
get there they find that they have TO
pay as much to the "city" dealers as
they would have paid at home, but
they must have the goods, so they rob
their home merchant out of the bust
ness that should have gone to him and
give it to some firm who has 10 mu-
tual interest with them. Whether it
is generally known or not, there are
many places in our own territory
where a few weeks can be spent dur
ing the heated season with as much
comfort and a great deal less expense,
than at the expensive coast resorts,
and the hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars saved would aid very materially
in the development of the resources
of the territory. A family whose ex-
penses equals or exceeds their income
viii not accumulate much for a rainy
day. The same is as true Of a state.
Let the people of Arizona keep their
money within our own borders as
much as possible.

Strong New Legal Firm.

A legal combination has just been
formed in this city and went into
force which makes one of the strong
est firms in the territory. The name
of the firm will be Hawkins, Ross and
Anderson, and the gentlemen com
prised in the combination are Judge
J. j. Hawkins, John NJ. Ross and Lee
roy Anderson. Judge Hawkins needs
no introduction or words of praise at
the hands of the Journal Miner, as he
has been a citizen of this city for
nearly twenty years, and during all
that time he has enjoyed large legal
practice. He was appointed by Presi-
dent Cleveland to the supreme bench
of the territory, which position he
filled with honor There is probably
no attorney in the west better posted
in corporation matters than Judge
Hawkins and the immense practice he
has in that line shows that his judg-
ment in matters Of that character is
rated very high.
While Mr.. Ross is young man and
comparative stranger in this section,
he comes here from San Francisco
where he was associated for some time
with Hon. A. c. Freeman, one of the
best known lawyers in that city. He
is graduate of Sanford university
and aside from being an attorney of
marked ability for young man, is a
very pleasant and courteous gentle
man.
Mr.. Anderson came to Prescott
about year ago from Taylorville,
ILL.,, where he was the junior mem Der
of the legal firm of Deunan and An
lerson for several years and enjoyed
the reputation of being one of the
leading attorneys in that part of the
state. As an index to the high es-
TEEN in which he was held in his
former home, it is only necessary to
state that two years ago he was can
didate for congress from the twenty
seventh congressional district of Illi-
nois, on the republican ticket, and
in district which was usually about
GOO democratic he reduced the demo-
cratic majority to about 200, and
made one of the best and cleanest
campaigns that had ever been con-
Quoted in that district.
Taken altogether the new firm will

power in this part of the territory and

THE BIB CO.'S
INDIAN DEN

The Bashford- Burmister company, |
which is always up to date and wide
awake for business. has just been max
ing some valuable additions to its
mammoth stock of goods. While these
additions are not altogether new yet
the variety and quantity has been
greatly increased. Some weeks ago
L. f. Fournier, who has charge of the
furniture, drapery, fnacy China and
carpet departments, took trip to the
government trading posts at Fort De-
fiance, Tuba City, and Red Lake, and
purchased one of the largest stocks of
Indian blankets, baskets, etc, thathas
ever been carried by any one firm in
the territory. The stock consists of
about 300 blankets and rugs, and an
endless variety of other rare cUrios
amounting in value to about $4,000.
This stock has just arrived and Mr.
Fournier is busy today in building
what be calls a "den" in the large
show window of the store. When this
is completed it will be one of tine
prettiest windows ever seen in the
city.
4 Journal Miner man was shown
this large stock and many wonderful
and interesting facts concerning the
Indian blankets, baskets, etc, were
explained, giving new charm and
interest to these naturally interesting
subjects. Mr.. Fourier has spent
great deal of time with the Indians
and in studying the best authorities
on these subjects and is probably one
of the best posted men in the west
concerning the manufacture of blank
cts, baskets, pottery and other Indian
wares. It is a fact not generally
known that all the figures and designs
that are woven and worked into these
articles are expressive of their daily
lives, emotions, conditions, tradi-
tions, etc. When these are known
they add greatly to the value of these
possessions. Mr.. Fournier's object in
learning these facts was to be able to
properly explain them to his custom
ers, and whenever a blanket or basket
is purchased be writes out a full des-
cription of the language of the ar
ticle. This knowledge also enables
him to purchase the most valuable and
interesting articles for his stock. A
more detailed description of the
"den" will be given tomorrow, and if
you want to see something that is
pretty and fairly bristling with inter
F est and expression go and take look
at it.
