ing day and night compiling an alb
stract on a prominent group of mines
for which sale is pending to eastern
capitalists. Every important deal in
mining property in this county is
based on abstracts made by this COM
pany, Which reflects credit ON the

Or" Berry, one of the fake Quaker
doctors, who visited Prescott few
months ago but who failed to get his
grating hooks into our people to any
apprecisble extent is in trouble at
Fresno. 1t seems the Fresno Re-
publican gave the faker a roasting,
and the latter instituted libel suit
alleging that his business had been
greatly damaged-by the truths told
by the paper. The doctor" went on
the stand on his own behalf admitting
that he never was connected with the
Quaker church, and had never worn
the Quaker garb until he started on
the road selling medicines. He is not
likely to get very deep hold on the
treasury of the Republican. The
trouble with newspapers generally is
that they are too lenient with this
class of leeches.
A rather pathetic little scene took
place the other day at the Merchants
Mining company's railroad spur when
the Chicago sxcursionists landed to
inspect that property. James O'Hara.
one Of the old time citizens in this |
section. knew that his brother was a |
heavy stakeholder in the property and |
rather expected that he would be with |
the party. Consequently be went out |
to the mine and when the train stop |
ped sure enough the brothers who had |
not seen each other for sc years stood |
face to face. The greeting was very |
touching, the brothers clssping each /
other in their arms and kissing like
two lovers. For some time they stood |
in each others embrace and neither
could speak for the happiness they
felt over the meeting filed them too
full for words. The brother did not
spend much time looking at the
mines, but spent the time in talking
over their boyhood days.
