During the recent visit of Attorney General E. W. Wells to Phenix a me est1ng of the board of health, con- sisting of Governor Brodie, Attorney General Wells and Health Superin- tendent pr. Duffield, was held. Most of the business was routine but there was also a discussion of plans for the care of poverty stricken consumptives. It is not likely that the territory will be able to do much in that direction for some time hut it was suggested that the general government might furnish aid in the establishment of a sanItarium or hospital for invalids of that class. The board also decided upon form of license for undertakers.
 Ben Dunkle, whom it will be re- membered left Prescott few weeks ago with a very bad attack of the Gold Field itch, will come back to dear old Prescott just as soon as the cars can carry him. He writes to the Palace that the bonanza camp, is a hummer, but that the standard of wages is not to be compared to the cost of living, and that as a center of luxury a dollar in Prescott will go farther than five in that place, and all round this city is the best of any on the pike. Ben has tried the St. Louis fair, and now the big gold camp. He will probably camp this time Tn Pres colt.
 1. D. l.. Williams and Col. Alba Hey wood went out yesterday to Walnut creek for a visit to the Bar-Diamond Cattle company. Col. Haywood has become quite infatuated with this sec tion since his arrival here this time. He visited Prescott four years ago and gave an entertainment at the opera house as an impersonator which will be remembered by those who saw it as the best of the kind ever given in Prescott. Col. Haywood gave a few sketches a few evenings since to few presonal friends in which he demon strated that he has not lost any of his mirth provoking abilities, although he retired from the public stage some time since, having become immensely rich in oil in the Beaumont and other fields in Texas and Louisiana.
