The Protecting FLAG.

That was a curious method taken
by two firms in Tampa who own
10000 head of cattle on the range in
Cuba. American flags were placed
all around the ranges so that in or
der to do damage to the cattle the
flag would have to be desecrated.
The Cuban evidently had faith in
the American flag and the insurgent
fears it or at least respects ft.-Or

THE PRESCOTT STEAM LAUNDRY

CoDDarativeIv few persons who have not been to some extent connect ed with the modern steam laundry realize to what importance the busi- ness has grown of late years If en- terpriscs were to be measured by the amount of money paid out in wages, the steam laundry might claim pO- sition far above other enterprises peo7 ple have been accustomed to think of greater importance. It will doubtless be a surprise to many readers to learn that The Prescott Steam Laun- dry pays out annually not less than SI5,OOO.OO. The modern steam laun- dry is of comparatively recent birth in Prescott. and until the advent of the above named company residents of the city were largely dependent upon the Chinese. Since MT. D. M. Clark, the owner and manager Of this fine, modernly equipped plant, has been operating here residents have come to appreciate the superior work manship and advantages to be de- rived through parOnizinS the modem steam laundry.
 Q Wnile doing all manner of laundry work in the very best style. the spe- cialty of the laundry is fine family and gentlemen's work. Respecting the class of work done it may be said that it is uniform in excellence and ap- breaches perfection as nearly as can be done by competent hands operating the most modern plant.
 The laundry occupies cOmmodious quarters located in the business DOT ton of the city and furnishes employ ment'tO over forty people.
 Wagons are run for the benefit of city patrons and a considerable busi- ness is carried on throughout the dis trict by means of special arrange ments with. the express companies. About eighteen agencies are being maintained throughout Yavapai county.
 MT. Clark, since becoming a resident of Prescott, twelve years ago, has taken an active interest in the welfare of the city and is esteemed for his business integrity and praiseworthy public spirit.

ARIZONA GOLD LODE MINES
 COM MPANY.

The Arizona Gold Lode Mining Com pany was organized in 1903 by MT. R. II. Burmister W1-o he'd owned the property for six years previous to it's incorporation. But little had been done upon # except the annual assessment work. The property consists oc four teen claims located about sixteen miles from Cherry Creek station, on t1e Prescott and Eastern railroad. One of the claims and the mill site have been patented. Following the incorporation active development work was com menced upon the Bugler claim in May. 1904. and has been prosecuted vigor- ously since that date. A tunnel has been run for four hundred and ninety feet directly upon the vein. Since pass ing the first forty feet the tunnel has been constantly in ore, the assay re- turns of which have proven most grat- flying to the management At a point two hundred and forty feet from the mouth of the tunnel the company put in an upraiSe one hundred and thirty feet oH the hank.
 Development on the Gold Lode claim has been prosecuted to a depth of two hundred and fourteen feet. through a shaft sunk upon the vein A thirty horse power hoist is now being in- stalled. One drift on the one hundred foot level has proven the existence of large ore body, while the shaft is being sunk on a vein averaging over two feet in width. On the Red Cloud claim work will be pushed this coming spring. At the present time a fifty foot shat and an eigthy-foot tunnel with other surface openings, is the ex- tent Of tsla development

PRESCOTT ENGINEERING WORKS.

 That Prescott was awaiting so inn pOrtant an enterprise can best be judged by the success which has at tended the establishment of the works here. Business has increased to so gratifying an extent that added ma chinery and equipment is being planned for the immediate future.
 At present it's various lines include the manufacture of special designs in ore cars ana DuCkelS. nedNN sheet metal work and general repairing of all classes of mining machinery. that has required the attention of experts. From twelve to twenty skilled and competent men are employed and the cCmpanys services are in demand throughout the various camps tribu- tary to Prescott. A contract recently completed for the RiGgby Mining an1 Reduction cOmpanys new plant at Mayer, Arizona, included the furnish ing of 100000 pounds of sheet steel and cast iron work, used largely in the construction of piping and fues for their process of reduction of ores.

The management Of the Arizona Brewing Company embraced one of the favorable opportunities of the time when it established its plant in Pres colt a couple of years ago. Located at a most advantageous point. just out side the city limits, and connected with the main line of the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix railroad by a pri- vate switch over 800 feet in length, stands the group of buildings compris- ing the plant of the Arizona Brewery
 The main building is a three story brick structure. about 60 by 90 feet in dimensions. while the boiler and en- zine rooms occupy a separate build ing The plant has been fitted with the latest patterns of machinery an1 mechanical appliances for the manu- fracture of a superior quality of beer, and the success of the venture is prov en by the recent enlargement of the capacity from 1900 barrels to 2500 bar rels a month.
 The extra pale Prescott beer of this brewery is on sale at the leading first class bars throughout that section of northern Arizona tributary to Prescott and recently the brewery has estab- Hshed connections in Phoenix that will open uD market for the beer at this place.

It is interesting in reviewing the careers of men who hay" made signal successes in mining in Yavapai conn ty to note the various stations in life from which they come. While For tune has chosen her sponsors from all ranks of society. as established by difference Of means and education. it is a conspicuous fact that the favored ones represent as a rule the conserva- tive. persevering and deserving ele- ment. The subject of this biography is conspicuous example of what may be accomplished in the treasure houses of the Yavapai county noun tains
 For a number of years after coming to Arizona MT. FenneH was in charge of the extensive interests of Senator Wm. A. Clark's United Verde prop critics and here he became familiar with the conditions of this section of AIizona, and so impressed with it's undeveloped mineral resources that he resigned his position after serving for a number Of years in that responsible position and commenced operations on his own account with headquarters al Prescott. His offices in the BashfOrd building are handsomely fitted un and Q force of clerks and stenOgraphers is kept constantly employed with the affairs of his numerous mining com panies.
 All of his mining operations have been conducted within few miles of Prescott in what is conceded to be one of the most richly mineralized sections of Yavapai county and under his energetic management prospects are made shippers and producers when development work proves the r,1.asaura of er,fi oiar1f ova ho1faS
 Often the best test of business sa- gacity is shown by the ability to grasp an opportunity that may seem to oth- CTS hazardous, and to bring it to sue cessful issue. This rare and unmis- takable talent is possessed to a re- markable degree by Cecil G. FenneH and has made him one of the most prominent and successful mining op- orators of northern Arizona.
