A PROJECT TO
BE SUPPORTED
An Opportunity TO Make the Indus
trial Resources of This County
Better Known and More Attractive
TO the Investor.

TO the Investor.
The judicious distribution of litera-
tGre, whether through public or pri-
vate channels has time and again been
demonstrated as accomplishing mater
ial results to the individual as we'll as
the community. Whether the motive
be mines or mining, climatic eondi
tions to be made known, or the desira
bility of landed rights in agriculture
or kindred pursuits, the results are
the same. 1t is the publicity that is
given in either channel that sooner or
later brings into prominence that
which is made known. An investment
may naturally be the outcome but if
not no harm can follow the making
known of the resources desired in eth
er channel. 1t is this principle Of
making the many million of people on
the outside familiar with the mineral
conditions of Yavapai and the agricul
truaI and other resources of Maricopa
that has prompted Messrs. Shultz and
Butler of this city to inaugurate the
second special edition of the Prospect,
and to place it before the many mil
lion of people who will visit the forth
coming Lewis and Clarke exposition
to be held in May of this year at Port
land, Ore. To this end these gentle
men are now preparing their laudable
work accordingly. In doing so they
desire to receive the support of the
two counties to be affected, and to
this end they will endeavor to clearly
and dispassionately make representa-
quaintance among the people of the
outside with the magnificent resources
open in this section of Arizonaifor in
vestment or investigation. They
should be supported in handsome
manner, for the character of the in.
formation that will be given, will TO
say the least be creditable to every in
dustry, and from the method to be
pursued, the edition will be handled
in such a manner that a conscientious
regard to its patrons and the commun-
ity will be extended.
In connection with this contem-
plated edition, it is perhaps proper to
mention at this time that Prescott has
been at various times in the past few
years practically robbed by the skin
game that has been successfully prac-
ticed by the itinerant fakir who has for
few days at time worked his game
under the guise of public distribu-
ton of printed matter. In short and
in fact this community has thrown
away hundreds of dollars, and nothing
represented has been carried out. The
legitimate is generally handled by
the home element, and it is this prin-
cipIe that is manifested today in these
bona fide promoters that prompts us to
entering. The last edition of the
Prospect at ST. Louis has brought the
many to a keen realization of one
fact, that Yavapai county is desirable
section in mines and mining, and if
this character of information will be
followed out at Portland, a better ae-
.quaintance with the country is sure to
result. There is everything good to
anticipate from this project. Nothing
detrimental will come. Arizona's
prominence today in the production
of copper places it as the third on the
list, while in gold yield it is likewise
coming to be recognized center of
prominence. These facts should be
made known through every avenue
possible, public as we'll as private, and
by so doing the country will in the
long run to say the least receive the
benefit of such information.
Linked to this special edition of the
Prospect there will be novel system
of illustrations. Every district will
have portrayed some familiar land
mark to identify its physical geogra-
ply, while in the line of general illus
trations, this work will be the most
generous of any heretofore issued from
Yavapai county. The movement
should be supported by every business
element as it will not only be cred
liable reflection of our industrial
backbone, but likewise will it be
wholesome argument for capital to
come and see to say The least.
