the center of prosperous, law-abidng
community bent upon personal and gem
eral improvement
Since the great fire, which four years
ago wiped out most of it's business houses
in a single night. IT has grown with a
rapidity and a substantial character and
beauty seldom equaled. Before the smoke
had cleared away, men who had seen
great stocks of merchandise go up in
flame, were doing business In tents set
up along the plaza and before the ruins
were cool, the debris was being cleared
away and material for new buildings I'M
loaded on the ground. There was a spirit
of rivalry as to who should put up the
handsomest buildings. and the city rose
out of her ashes with new and larger
beauty and went on her way as the bus
mess and mining center OF the north.
But beyond her mines and business re-
sources the homes and schools and
churches of Prescott have always been
her pride. home town from the very
beginning, 1t is still a city of homes. Min
ing men operating near have their homes

ing prominence as reso.. for invalids,
the climate has drawn many to perma-
nent residence in the city and pine forest

lation of about 1000 and is the largest city
