INVESTORS
ARE COMING

Col. ]. T. Small, OF Lewiston, will
leave home on Tuesday evening for
New York City, where he is to join
party of bankers and brokers for
trip to Colorado and Arizona. They
are going to look over their interests
in some of the big copper and gold
mines that are located in those states.
1t is quite likely that a Journal
reporter will join them in Chicago,
and accompany the party through
their three weeks trip. The visit
will take them over one of the most
famous prehistoric portions of our
country, and we hope to present to
our readers an account of some of
those interesting scenes. Col. Small
recently made a similar and very sue
cessful trip through the Black Hills,
and he expects that the present one
will be far more interesting. This
gentleman rarely makes tour of this
nature unless the prospects are very
promising. and he expects that this
will be the most important that he
has yet undertaken. His companions
and business partners on this occasion
will be the members of the banking
house of Monroe, Rogers d Haynes,
of New York.-Lewiston Evening
Journal, Lewiston, Me-, May IL, 1903
The Journal Miner has private ad-
vices that the party mentioned in the
above item is due to arrive here on
Thursday. May q. Prof Bateman of
the staff of the Lewiston journal is a
member of the party and if the coun-
try and the mines impress him favor
ably he will no doubt give this sec
ton some good advertising. ID. C..
Monroe, of the Monroe Consolidated
and of the White Horse also is a mem-
Der of the party.

THE WORK HAS COMMENCED
ON THE STREET RAILWAY
Prescott and Adjacent Mining Camps Will En-
joy the Advantages of Electric
Railway Service.

Today will mark the beginning of {
new era in the industrial progress OF
the city of Prescott. To-day, Maybe,
1903, sees the beginning of work OIL
the first electric street railway il
northern Arizona, and Prescott now
takes her place among the up to date
cities of the west. The first car load
of ties for the Prescott and Mt Union
Railway company arrived yesterday
and are being unloaded and hauled to
the route of the new electric street
railway today, thus inaugurating the
work of building the line.
F. l.. Wright has been granted a
franchise by the city of Prescott to
operate an electric street railway and
he has associated with him the follow
ing gentlemen in the organization of
the above company: Attorney General
E-W. Wells, who is among the wealth
lest and msot substantial citizens and
mining men of Arizona: Joseph Mayer,
one of the best known and most pro-
gressive business men in Yavapai
county; E. A. Haggott, a we'll known
mining man of this section r.. r. Cole
man, a gentleman who has been ident-
flied with nearly all the railroad
building in northern Arizona and is
considered one of the best railroad
men in the west: DR.. r \. Looney,
one of the prominent physicians of
Yavapai county, and Thomas G. Job,
who is recognized as one of the lead
ing attorneys of Arizona. They have
shown their good faith in the future
growth and greatness of the city by
beginning the work in substantial
manner.
The Prescott Electric company has
just installed lot of new machinery
which greatly increases their capacity
and until the needs of the street car
line reach beyond the capacity of this
company it Will be able to furnish
sufficient power to operate the line.

ST. LOUIS GREAT
WORLDS FAIR
A Magnificent Mineral
Exhibit in View.
Field Commissioner DR.. Ward Will
Visit All Sections of Country
to Advance Mining.

DR.. William S. Ward, field commits
sioDer of the department of mines anC
metallurgy of the st. Louis exposi-
tion, who has been in Prescott for a
codple of days will accompany Col.
A. j. Doran, president of the Arizona
Board of Managers, to Phenix to-
night, to be present at a meeting OF
the board tomorrow.
DR.. Ward IS field of labor is the en-
tire mining section of the whole
country, and he has had an exper-
fence which we'll qualities him for the
position.
At the Paris exposition of 1889 be
was commissioner from Colorado. At
the Columbian exposition in Chicago
in 1893, he was chief of the depart
ment of Colorado, and collected and
arranged the exhibit from that state
He was also director of the depart
ment of mines and metallurgy of the
Paris exposition of 1900.
His experiences in these positions,
as we'll as his thorough knowledge of
mines and of mining, eminently quail
fies him for the, position he now occu-
pies. He has been able to obtain in
formation concerning the collection
and arrangement of exhibits which
are invaluable. 1t is one thing to col
lect an exhibit and an entirely differ
ent proposition to place it on exhibit
tion where it will attract the attention
of visitors and be seen and examined
by them.
DR.. Ward says that profiting by pre-
vious expositions the building of
mines at st. Louis is being built on
entirely different plans from build
ings at former expositions. Instead
of having one main aisle extending
through the building with side aisles
leaving it at various points the aisles
diverge from the entrance to all por-
lions of the building. By this ar
rangement the crowd separates i'm
mediately upon enteing the building
instead of passing up main aisle.
Other important facts have also been
learned of which advantage will be
taken at the st. Louis exposition.
DR.. Ward will visit all the princi-
pal mining districts of the country,
and will meet with the various state
aud territorial boards and confer with
them as to space required and will
superintend the installation of the
various exhibits.

Oklahoma Divorce.

about two years ago the couple, who
had lived together for years and had

Caribou Brown Dead.

Henry F., better known as "Cari
bou," Brown, died in Tucson on Sat
urday night. Caribou" Brown was
a gambler by profession, and was one
of the best known characters in Ari.
IONA. He was the soul of honor, and
integrity. During residence of near.
ly score of years in Prescott he made
many friends, as he was kind and gen.
erous, and law abiding and peace
full citizen. He claims to have been
born in 1918, which would make him
So years old at the time of his death,
but by many of his friends, he was
thought to be much older. He served
in the English navy in his younger
years being dismissed from that serv-
ice for challenging superior officer
to fight duel.

Large and Brilliant Gathering Show
Appreciation of 0rchestra's
Services in the Past.

The promenade concert and hop
given last evening under the auspices
of the Monday club, as a benefit to
the Prescott orchestra, was a we'll pat
ronized affair, there being between 20O
and 300 ladies and gentlemen present.
The entertainment was attended by
many Prescott people who are seldom
seen at entertainments where dancing
forms feature of the entertainment.
The musical program rendered by
the orchestra was composed of popu-
lar selections and goes without saying
that they were most excelIentIy rem
dered. In addition to the number
rendered by the orchestra was a solo
by Mrs. d. NJ. F. Weeks, entitled
"For All Eternity" by Mascheroni,
with violin obligato by A. b. Nader,
which ELECTED a hearty encore from
the audience.
A cornet solo by J. c. Barley,
Schubert's "Serenade, also received
an encore to which MIR. Barley re-
sponded.
j. G. Remington rendered 1.-The
Holy City" as trombone solo which
was heartily encord.
Another very pleasant feature of
the musical part of the program, was
a selection rendered by a male SEX
tette composed of Messrs. Thomas,
Poole, Yount, Ross, Kessler and Lam
son. Their voices harmonized beauti-
fully. They sang with precision and
they received a double encore before
the audience was satisfied. This was
their first public appearance as they
are organized for mutual pleasure, but
from the hit made by them last even
ing it is safe to predict that they will
be asked to contribute to the enter
tainment of the public in the future.
At the conclusion of the concert the
chairs which had been arranged in
formally around the room, we're shift
ed to the sides, and dancing was in
dulged in, the program of dancing
being quite lengthy and lasting until
after two o'clock.
The hall had been decorated for the
occasion very beautifully by the
ladies, but thier most successful
efforts at decoration were in the ban
quet room where refreshments were
served. A large table had been placed
in the center of this hall, which was
decorated with potted ferns and flow
ers, and lighted candles, in beautiful
ly designed candelabra of brass, giving
it most beautiful effect. The viands
we're also placed on this table and
served in an informal manner to the
guests who were seated around the
hall.
The entertainment was a very pro-
nounced success as a musicale. and from
a social stand point, and from finan-
ical stand point as we'll, and the ladies
of the Monday club deserve great
credit for presenting the people of
Prescott an opportunity of showing
their appreciation Of the many ser
vices rendered by this musical organ
ization on so many occasions, and to
which they responded so generously.

! lay the first track from the west end
of Gurley street starlight east on Cur.
ley to Virginia avenue, in the OTIS
addition, and it has not been definite
ly decided what course the line will
take from there to Whipple, but in
any event the line will be run from
east Gurley to Fort Whipple.
The company realizes that the
growth of the city is east and west
and with the idea of aiding in this
growth as we'll as to build a line that
will accommodate the greatest number
of people, it was decided to build this
as the initial line. 1t is the inten-
ton, as soon as this line is completed
and in operation, to build another
line from the depot to run south on
Cortez street to the southern limits of
the city. But, when this is complet-
ed it will only be the beginning of
what it is the intention of the COM
pany to do. 1t is the purpose to con-
struct and operate an electric railway
line extending for several miles out
into the mining districts, passing
south through the Groom Creek sec
ton, to Mt. Union and adjacent min
ing camps and on into the Crook can
yon country. This will put Prescott
in touch with one of the richest min
eral sections in the west, and will be
an incalculable benefit both to the city
and the mining districts which it will
visit, as it will bring them with a
few minutes ride of the city, and al
low them the advantage of quick and
cheap service in passenger, mail, light
freight, etc.
Although the growth of Prescott has
been marvellous during the past three
years, and the development of the
mining industry has never before been
made in such strides, yet the Journal
Miner predicts that with the install
lation of the electric railway service in
the city and through the adjacent min
ing camps, the growth will be even
greater in the future.

pumps, buildings, etc. The dry
placer plant has not been transplanted
yet but active preparations are under
way.
Grant Carter, Bill Rudy and num-
Der of others have just made a big
shipment of cattle from Kirkland.
The death of Uncle Davy Nichols,
of Skull valley, was a cause for con-
siderable surprise and regret. He was
a very old settler here, and a. veteran
of the war of IS6l-1S65 from nearly
start to finish. He had only drawn q
small pension for about two years
prior to his death. An increase was
allowed but death came before he
could use it.
Gardening is the general occupation
of the ranachers in Skull Valley and
good results are expected. Hay il
growing fast and fine.
Bill Rudy and James Stapp have
considerable ore at the Sharpnech
mill from their mammoth ledge neal
the railroad above Kirkland. Result:
have not been learned, but good re
turns are expected.

reported to be active again. They
