It is said that geniuses are born. not made. Mining engineers who are ex- perts in their profession are made. There is no natural gift directing the current of their careers. unless indus try and ambition may be counted 2 heritage. To become a competent min ing engineer requires years of exper- fence in practical m Iing as well as a technical education Mining engineers of reputation are rot made on the in stant. Almost without exception en- gineers and experts have won suffic- cient prominence in Arizona to become recognized authorities, have been iden- tifed with the territor-- for many years, and of such is the above firm. Among the most recently CoIu-
 pleted contracts accepted by this firm may be mentioned a large amount or work on a new smelling plant of the Arizona Smelling Company at Hum boldt. All the ore bins. store. bunk houses and camp buildings were de- signed and erected by them. The mill of the famous Fl Tigre mine in SO- nora.

 Accommodations can be provided for fifty patients, and many of the lead ing mining companies reserve quarters permanently at the hospital for their employees, as also does the z. F. & P P. R. R. Co. DT McNally. the rail- road physician, being in charge of all railroad patients.
 Excellent ventilation and a modern system of heating together with the unrivaled nursing of the Sisters of Mercy. has been instrumental in mak- ing the work of the hospital most sue cessful in the treatment of cases. As may be supposed, the greatest number of patients are sufferers from injuries and diseases resulting from exposure in the nearby mining camps

THE sAsHFoRD-BURMIsTER
 COMPANY.

It must be conceded, for history bears out the statement, that there are three stages in the development of all populous communities. They are. first. the advent of the general mer- chandise store. which marks the birth of the camp; next. the change to stores devoted to individual lines of trade. marking the beginning of the town, and lastly. the modern depart ment store. which appears with the city. Judged from these metamor- phoses, Prescott has emerged from the second stage of development and en- tered upon it's existence as a city. In view of this fact 1t is fitting that the Arizona Republican should devote ap- propriate space. in it's review of Pres colt and the mining interests of Yav- apai county. to the one enterprise that has traversed the last stride.
 The store to which this distinction belongs was founded in 1863. before the birth of territorial government in Arizona. Its first proprietor was Levi Bashford. who conducted the general merchandise store of the struggling little settlement alone for a number of years. finally taking a partner and
