L. Dryer, who has been one of the
trusted employees in the New York
Store for the past three years, severed
his connection with the firm and will
leave in few days for San Francisco
where he will probably engage in bus
mess for himself. Mr. Dryer has made
many friends during his residence in
this city who will always be pleased
to hear of his prosperity in his new
home.
A. j Head has again embarked in
the lumber business. He is fixing up
lumber shed on his lot near the
depot and will carry a small stock of
lumber, but will make his special
efforts in furnishing lumber in car
load lots for mining companies and to

ing he will figure on all the material

H. P. Anewalt has returned from
an official visit to Phenix. He accom-
panied the excursion on Sunday from
Phenix to Florence and says it
was highly successful affair. Over
1000 residents of Phenix took adj
vantage of the 81 rate to visit Flor
eDce The day was an ideal one, the
weather being very pleasant. The lit
tie town of Florence never had such a
crowd in it before as on this occasion.
Tom Mclaughlin, who has been
connected with the Samuel Hill Hard
ware company for the past year, has
resigned his position with the firm
and will leave tonight for Florence,
Arizona, to take a position with the
bridge and building crew on the Phe-
nix & Eastern railroad, under his old
boss, for whom he worked for several
years. Mr.. McLaughlin's host of
warm friends in Prescott regret to see
him leave but wish him good luck.
The continued drouth is commenc-
ing to be quite seriously felt by the
Santa Fe railroad as it necessitates a
water haul over a considerable portion
of the road. At Seligman, which is a
division terminal point, all water used
has to be hauled and at Ash Fork also.
Water is scarce at several points also
on the other road. The S. +. P.
& P. railroad is delivering about 500,
600 gallons per day to the Santa Fe
at Ash Fork, a portion of it being
taken to Seligman.

item was $50, lac for Yavapai county
refunding interest. Expense fund
warrants we're second on the list
amounting to ga, ia. 60. Yavapai coun-

out of the treasury, and road warrants

The old Southern California engine,
purchased few months ago by the S.
F. P. 4 P. railroad, was turned out of
the shops yesterday and sent to Phe-
nix where it will be placed on the
regular run between Phenix and Flor
ence. The engine was practically re-
built in the shops here, and is now as
fine looking as any on the road. Ii
was also transformed from coal to
an oil burner. The boys in the shop
deserve great credit for the work done
on it, which could not be excelled in
any shop in the country.
Through one of those errors which
happens at the most inopportune time
Yavapai county did not appear on
Monday in the list of counties in the
call for territorial convention. The
call appears today in corrected form
in which it will be seen that Yavapai
county gets thirty nine delegates in
the convention. This was the banner
county of the territory two years ago.
