 PRESCOTT URSION-PhoenixI people never get done travelling and after they are all gone there will still be few to take advantage of good thing when it is offered. The moral isl that nobody appreciates how many people there are in this valley until he tries to call them out of the seclusion and count them. Yesterday the $ F. r. & P. ran another of it's popular ex- cursions to Prescott. On the train that : t were IFS Prescott passengers and itI was expected that about fifty more would go up onthe Diamond Jo last night. An extra Pullman had to be at tached to the day train.

 i ARIZONA CANAL DAM-Contrac- l tor R. II. Collins yesterday began the 1 work Of putting a two-foot brush and l stone crest on the top of the recently 1 constructed dam at the head of the i Arizona canal Extension. During the l flood Of a few weeks ago. when the ! dam was somewhat injured. it evident | ly settled a little. or else the crest of 1t was washed over, just which is not | known here, but the probabilities are ] it settled, for it was the first flood that | passed over the dam since its con l struction.
