 tisement of the Eagles Investment
 and Building company an explana
 ton in detail of which may be found
 interesting to the general public. W.
 J. Wilsey, president of the Prescott
 aerie of Eagles, realizing the need of
 la hall, in which the aerie might be
 located permanently, and which could
 be called its home, formulated plan
 to secure such a building. He out
 lined his plans to a number of busi-
 ness men connected with the order
 and was enthusiastically endorsed by
 them. It resulted in the incorpora-
 tion of the Eagles Investment and
 Building company, with the following officers:
 President, R. H. Burmister, mayor
 of Prescott; first vice president, Den
 his A. Burke, mayor elect; second
 vice president, Col. J. F. Wilson, ter
 ritOrial delegate to congres and promi-
 nent attorney of the territory; secre-
 tary and general manager, Col. W. J.
 Wilsey, secretary of the Bannie Gold
 Mining company and business man of Prescott; treasurer, T. c. Archer, civil and mining engineer. All of the above are directors of the company, the other directors being Nathan Levy, Prescott merchant and Lon D. Hall Prescott business man.
 The company is incorporated for $50, 600, divided in to 150, 900 shares of the par value of Sl and the plan of operations is to place 75,00O shares of the capital stock of the company on the market at their par value of S1.0O
 During a visit east recently, Mr. Wilsey talked to number of mem bers of the order and of whom were enthusiastic in endorsing it and ac- companied their endorsement by agreement to purchase stock. At the present time, there are 315 aeries in the order and a total membership of 5000. Stock will be sent to each aerie in the United States, and instead of paying agents commission as is customary in the sale of stock the company will distribute to share holders presents amounting in value to Sl5, 600. These presents are mostly cash, the biggest one being g, 900 and ranging down to s1, there being 1,0O0 of the latter and 1000 of g. 50 each.
 As an inducement to the various aeries in the United States to sell the shares of stock prize banner to cost S5OO is to be given to the one selling the largest number of shares in pro- portion to membership and a S250 banner to the one selling the second highest number of shares in propor- ton to membership. Pianos and Pres colt town lots are also among the premiums offered.
 As an investment, aside from the presents which will be offered, the en- terprise is good one as the building proposed to be erected, in addition to the hall for the meeting of the Pres colt aerie of Eagles, will have large rooms to rent for business purposes on the ground floor, and a number of off, 1 ces in the second story and revenue can be easily derived from the build | ing to pay good dividends on the in- vestment. The building as planned | will ha ve a frontage of 100 feet and | will be 140 or 150 feet deep, and will | be modern in every respect, with par lors for ladies and ladies' and gents dressing rooms with steam heat throughout.
 Members of the Prescott aerie of Eagles have already subscribed largely for the stock but the sale of stock will by no means be confined to the members of the order either in Pres colt or elsewhere, but every one who so desires can have the privilege of and helping along the en- terprlse. By so doing he will be in vesting his money where it will give him good returns, and at the same time may receive handsome present.
 The Prescott aerie which was organ ized last May now numbers 200 mem bers, and its membership roll con tains the names of some of the best business men and most prominent citizens of the town. Mir. Wilsey, who is secretary and general manager, has shown his executive ability, and hustling qualities in building the aerie to its present proportions and will leave nothing undone to carry this enterprise through to a speedy and successful culmination. Any in- concerning it or parties de- siring full particulars will be fur nished with them by addressing Col. W. J. Wilsey.
