All Of the subcommittee have re-
ceived notice of their appointment, and
several came together yesterday to talk
over the work to be done. All are
apparently well pleased with having
been given plenty of time in which to
attend to their duties, and are enthu-
siastie in their prophecies of rousing
celebration. Monday afternoon the
executive committee will hold its next
meeting, when it is expected the re-
port of the soliciting committee will be
sufficiently complete to allow of the

for making up rough draft of the pro-

From fridays Daily.)

The executive committee of the
Fourth of July celebration met yester-
day afternoon and began work In ear
nest. For the reason that it is neees-
sary to await the results of the work
of soliciting committee before arrang-
ing prizes, the program for the three
days. sports was talked over only in
general terms.
Jos. Archambeau, chairman of the So
Letting committee, reported that he
had called a meeting of his committee
and would have all the members at
work today. The six members of this
committee will likely work in pairs,
each taking certain portion OF the
town. and in this manner make care
full canvas.
Because there are many details of
the work to be looked into, many of
the matters of interest taken up at the
meeting cannot be made public until
settled by the committee. Such con-
cessions as can be awarded will be
advertised and will be let to the high
est and best bidder. 1t is probable
that the lemonade and popcorn privi-
leges; also the badge, cane and SINH
lar rights will be disposed of in this
way. 1t was the unanimous senti-
ment of the committee to close the
celebration on the night of the Fourth
with a mask carnival, managed on the
same plan as those of past years. If
this plan is finally adopted the night of
the Fourth will be made the open door
to all. All places of business after
dark will he made reception places for
all visitors, ladies and gentlemen alike.
and everyone. regardless of age or sex,
will be made welcome, and eOurteously
cared for.
There are several features of the pro-
posed program which will make the
celebration novel and entertaining;
but for reasons of business they can
not be made public until all the de-
tails have been completed. The exeeu-
tive committee expects to see to the
matter of special rates along the rail
road today or tomorrow, and antici-

Stockholders are Pleased With Pfau
(From Fridays Dailv.)

(From Fridays Daily.)
Visiting stockholders of the Pau
Mining Company, who recently reach
ed here from Cincinnati, Ohio, and who
returned from three days. inspee-
tion of their property at a late hour
Wednesday night, left yesterday morn
ing for their home in the east in
their special car, attached to the regu-
lar overland train. Lee Pfau. one
of the chief stockholders in the prop
erty, who has been here in general
charge for some time past, aceompan-
led the party eastward.
Brief interviews with several men,
bers of the party developed that they
are all more than pleased with the con-
ditiOn of affairs at the new mine, and
that all have enjoyed their jaunt to
the southwest. While avoiding de-
tails as to the property they refer to
the development thus far. and to the
plans for early operations with marked
satisfaction. From what could be
learned it is the intention of the COM
pany to continue along the same lines
as during the past few months, pushing
the installation of machinery with the
utmost speed, and getting the plant in
shape to begin active operations with
out any delay whatever.
1t was gathered from what was said
that the only change to be made in
the management of construction is to
be the immediate adoption of such
steps as will facilitate the completion
of the work within the earliest pos
sible time. Minor portions of the
plant which might have been dispens-
ed with at the start are to be hurried
to completion, and the completed outfit
put in operation.
Several friends of the visitors were
at the depot yesterday morning to bid
them adieu, and the party left the west
with kind expressions of gratitude for
their sincere welcome at the hands of
the people of Prescott.

POLITICIANS JOIN HANDS.

Probably for the first time in the
history of any state or territory in the
union, even since the days of the early
colonial states, has it ever happened
that two opposing territorial COM
mittees, politically as different as black
and white, have been called upon to
meet in joint conference. This, how
ever is true of Arizona at this time, as
the members of both the Republican
and Democratic territorial committees
were in attendance at the joint state
hood convention in Phoenix.
This decidedly peculiar condition of
affairs b rings together the same men
to discuss the same subject, with the
same object in view, although ordinar-
lily from a political standpoint they are
unalterably opposed, individually and
as body. This odd coincidence was
referred to by member of the dele
cation in the joint statehood eonven-
tion who left Prescott last evening to
attend the gathering, and those who
heard him could remember of nothing
of the same nature in all the history of
politics within their recollection.

No Time Lost Preparing for the Fourth

Preliminary work for the Fourth of
July celebration is now on in earnest
and yesterday the executive committee
shaped affairs for the early arrange
ments. Its first work was to select
Ben Beleher as chairman, John H.
Robinson secretary, and the CONNER
cial Trust Co. treasurer.
Then came the naming of sub-com-
mites. which was done with much
care, the selections on each committee
being given serious attention. First,
the soliciting committee was taken
up, and finally chosen together with
all others as follows;
Solieiting-J. L. Archambeau, Geo.
Ruffner, T. f. Lift, Jas. Johnson, S.
A. Prince, and G. A. Bray.
Printing and Programs NJ.
Ling, lie Roy Anderson and t. L.
Shultz.
Parade and Music-Frank An
drews, A. W. Edwards, and L. B. La
rimer.
Decentralization. Delanty, L. F.
Fournier and Earl Smith.
Fireworks-Ed. Shumate, W. D.
Berry and Chas. Born.
Boys Sports-H. n. Thomas, Gus
Peter and Edward Meany.
Hose Committee-A. A. Johns, A.
Moser, J. H. Robinson, c. NJ. Dot
son and F. S. Jackson.
Cowboy Sports-George Rufner,
Miners Drilling Contest-A. A
Johns, NJ. G. Burns and H. w. Ste
vens.
Footraces and BASEBALL. P. Dill
Ion, B. L. Mccoy, and VIM. Neagle.
Indian Sports-J. H. Robinson, Joe
Cook, and Robert Brow.
Unless all signs fail Prescott will
this year have a celebration of which
it will be proud. Past experiences
have taught the promoters what to do,
and how best to do it, and the person
mel of the working committees justi-
fies the prediction that all will go
well. 1t is almost assured that this
year the hose team races will contain
three entries or perhaps more, as the
Cananea team has aonnounced its in
tention of competing if satisfactory ar
rangements can be made. This team,
with the Jerome and home team, will
make a warm three-eornered contest,
and it is not improbable some other
points may send teams here, in
the hope of pulling down the purses
to be offered.
j. H. Robinson, of the Indian sports
committee is already at work, and says
he believes he can so arrange that the
Apaehes who are billed for the Lewis |
and Clark exposition may stop here
and participate in the celebration. |
They are the choice of the tribe, and |
give excellent dances of all kinds. 1t |
is expected they will also include a
party of squaws expert in the ia
nous Apache basket work. Printing
of all kinds is to be put in circulation
as early as possible, and arrangements
for excursion rates on the railroad will |
be made from all points along the line.
The executive committee will meet
again this afternoon at O'Clock at the 4
office of Secretary J. H. Robinson.
