AN0THER DENVER

The Great Fire Was Blessing - A Model, Modern City Growing Under the Hands of an Energetic People. Business Flourishing An Ideal Pleasure and Health Resort.

Prescott. April 23.-(Special.) )-Resi- dents of other sec tions of the territory who visit Prescott at frequent inter- vals are unanimous in testifying to the rapid and substantial growth of this beautiful mountain city. Visitors who come only occasionally are greatly sur prised each. time ty the new improve ments, and Arizonians whose business or pleasure does net call them this way cannot grasp the full extent of Pres cott's growth. In the business section are to be seen such modern buildings as any city might we'll be proud of and which for a mining town seem to stranger to verge on extravaganza. But it is soon learned, if not known al- ready, that there is a wide diffeEence between a mining camp" and a city which bases it's prosperity largely upon the mining industry of a vast region. Prescott belongs to the latter class, and in this respect has a right to be regarded as a second Denver.
 Prescott is justly proud of her buildings-not alone her massive busi- ness blocks, but her palatial homes and this pride is more than justified. The great fire of 1900, which left Prescott but a heap of ashes, was not without it's appropriations. It destroy ed the best buildings, and paralyzed business for few days, but the ashes were quickly removed to give place to the modern structures of today. The elegant store buildings. So attractive outwardly, are only in keeping with the interior of them. Both within and without a high standard of excellence has been maintained.
 What rl1iObf Saar1- mo hoe proven good Judgment and the coming year will see many thousands of dol lars spent in the construction of build ings. The great outlay is warranted by the mining developments in the sur rounding and tributary mining dis trfcts. The mining industry instead of lessening has been growing greater and greater, new mines are being opened, and operated and in all the mining districts there is prosperity and pros poets of future growth and develop ment. The drouth this season has cer- tainly retarded the work, but the delay is only temporary and even for the, present the drouth has only interfered with the work, not stopped it.
 The future for Prescott seems bright and rosy and on every side are heard expressions of hope. Seldom is 1t that the people of a mining city are so firmly convinced of the future well fare of the place. The wealthy men are investing their money. the poor and the laboring classes are reaping the oenehts. The owners of the richest mines and the lhisssst enterprises are not taking their morey abroad for in- vestment or boarding it in steel vaults. What is being taken from the earth is finding circulation.
 With it's delightful altitude. cool and pleasant climate and beautiful scenery. Prescott is bidding for the eastern tourist trade, and is receiving it's share of it. With the completion of Whip- pie Barracks, military post that the government is now spending a million
