.ELKS HAVE LET
 THE CONTRACT
For Brick and Stone
 Work On
Their New Building-The Pres colt Sand Stone Brick
 Will Be Used.

The building committee of the Elks Building Association opened the bids for the brick and stone work of the building last Saturday evening but the awards were not made until last night. There were six bidders on the brick work and two bidders on the stone work.
 The contract for the brick work was let to c. H. Valentine for the sum of s99S3, while the stone contract was given to Edwin Hall for about 5000.
 The bids were a little higher than the committee had expected, the lowest bid being about Sl200 higher than they had figured on the work costing. It was decided to use the sand stone brick that are manufac tured hy the Prescott company. The front will be of a specially prepared white sand stone brick laid with black mortar.
 This will certainly guarantee the Elki one of the most handsome structures in the city, or for that matter, th' | territory.
 It is estimated that the new build ing will contain about 700, coo bricl and between 90 and 60 tons of gre! | granite.

The Sewing Exhibit.

The library room of the public school building was thronged with ladies yesterday afternoon and even- ing. with a good sprinkling of men, to examine the work done by the girls in the sewing department. There was quite an array of articles of feminine wear on exhibition, three sides of the room being covered with them. The work is certainly a credit to both teacher and pupils. This opinion was formed not solely on the inspection made by a Journal Miner representa- tive. as he is not an expert on the subject although the work ''looked good to him. During his visit to the room there were a great many ladies present and the exclamations of sur prise and admiration made by them of the excellence of the work convinced him that his judgment was correct. The articles on exhibition furnished samples of both plain and fancy sew ing, practical and ornamental, and was certainly splendid.
 When it is taken into consideration that about seventy five per cent of the girls never sewed a stitch in their lives prior Ito commencing the work in the public schools and further that this department has been in operation only about four months, the progress made becomes more apparent. This feature of the public schools will prove of great benefit, as it deals with the most practical side of girls life, and the citizens owe a great debt of gratitude to Mrs. Richards for her generous support of it. Miss Corbett has proven the wisdom of the trustees in selecting her for the position.
 Now if some one possessed of sutti cient means would inaugurate a manual training department for the boys, it would prove great benefit to them and would make the Prescott schools as complete and perfect as any to be found any place, as the other departments are being conducted with the greatest success possible.

FAST MAIL SERVICE.

Speaking of the proposed inaugura- tion by the Santa Fe company of a fast mail train between Chicago and the Pacific coast, the Albuquerque Journal says that an order has been placed by the company with the Bald win Locomotive works for thirty five of the balanced compound, high speed passenger engines. With these scat tered along the different divisions, railroad men claim that almost any time desired could be made. "Those engines are the most rapid in the country, and they combine speed and strength said a veteran Santa Fe engineer yesterday. ''They have four drivers and each pair of drivers has a cylinder. They go so fast that it is almost impossible for the enginemen to see the signals and are capable of making 90 to 100 miles an hour on a level track. Of course these mountain passes would be troublesome, but at that I believe they could make a schedule of about fifty miles between Chicago and the coast. The Clark special made it from Ash Fork to Chi cago in thirty six hours running time, and believe to add soma four teen hours to the coast you will have about that time. By the way, those new high speed boys are the pets of the operative department and they are certainly the finest thing in the way of locomotive for all kinds of track that there is made. l think when these new engines are out of the shop that the Santa Fe will set a new rec ord to the coast from Chicago.

ship will be held at Tucson, commene- ing April I3. The committee of se- Iections of candidates will be: Dr. Babcock, Professor H. J. Hall and Professor s. M. Woodward.
 In explanation of the examinations Dr. Babcock writes: ''The examina- tion is not competitive and the one passing the highest does not nceessar- fly become the appointee. By the will of Cecil Rhodes one scholarship is awarded to our university. The examination is only to determine whether the student is eligible for en- trance to the university. The ap- poiutment will be made from four qualifications. First, literary and scholarly attainments; second, fond ness for and success in out of door sports, foo.bs!i, etc; third qualiti- cations of manhood and truth; fourth, exhibition during candidates school days of moral force of character and element of leadership. The recom- mendation is that the first three es- sentiaIs be decided by a vote of fel- low students and the fourth by decis- ion of the head of the school or col lege. Any and au Prescott students who are interested in obtaining one of these scholarships may get further information and data by addressing President Babcock at the University at Tucson.
