A Timely Question Regarding Prescott's Plans for the
 Fourth of July.
NO DEFINITE PLANS ARRANGED.
A Division of Choice Between Compet- ing Points of Pleasure-No Concerted Action in the
 Matter of Closing

The near approach of the 4th of July makes the question of what Prescott will do, a most timely one.
 There are as yet no arrange ments made as to any form of celebration here. and we find our people are going to use their in dividual preference in choosing a point for pleasure. Honors will be divided between Texark- ana, Camden, Gurdon, Little Rock and Serepta Springs.
 The matter of closing by the merchants seems to be a divided one. Some are willing, and ex- pect to close the entire day, re gardless of the action of anyone else. Others are willing to do what the rest do, and still others who, claiming that there is no at traction here, see no reason for losing the days trade.
 The unsettled condition of the closing, proves the necessity of commercial club composed of the merchants of the town, which will have some authority in set ting such matters.

Group Little Over One
Month.

Not much over q month ago ID. G,
Williams and his Salt Lake associates
secured a bond upon a property in the
st, George section of this State, and
without further ado they set to work
seeking to develop producer. They
have found the task not q difficult
one, for upon reaching Salt Lake yes
terday from the property, Mr., Williams
announced that he was being followed
by one car of ore, while two more are
awaiting the wagons on the dumps Of
the group. The property is known as
the Black Warrior, and while not an
entirely new proposition, 1t is a
stranger to the local ore market, and
the first consignment will be looked
unon with considerable interest in local
circles.
The work being done by the local
interests in charge consists of tunnel,
from which winzc is being driven.
The tunnel is in seventy-fve feet, the
winze is down l75 feet, and the three
cars of ore arc the product of pure
development work so far accomplished.
The ore carries mainly lead, running on
an average of so per cent, while tho
silver contents will range somewhere
round ten ounces to the ton. The
group consists Of four claims. the haul
TO the railroad tracks being forty
miles, via a splendid road.
Mr.. Williams deems the Black War
rior the making OF fine producer.
The present showings are ideal, and
he considered success assured. The
section wherein it is located contains
many fine mines, and local interests
have several properties there that are
showing up well. The section is very
satisfactory one in which to carry for
ward work, rs the weather conditions
the year round are all that could be
desired. Mr., Williams will leave to-
night for White Pine county on bust

There is such a colony of Salt Lakers

and many others either in New York
temporarily or having established head
quarters there. All seem very much
satisfied with conditions.
Mr.. Morrison was in the East on
mining business, and when he was
asked regarding the success of his mis-
sion he replied that he could give no
details, merely stating that the trip
was highly satisfactory from busi.

Very Much Pleased With
Present Conditions.

Taking into consideration the loca-

of the resources already demonstrated
to exist upon the same, ii would appear
that the Nevada Utah company In the
Comet group of Beaver county has o
proposition of splendid merit. General
Manager A. r. Schneider of the Ne
va9a Utah company was at his desk
Thursday after having spent several
days at the mine. and to The Tribune
he announced himself as being in every
way gratified by the present physical
condition OF the property.
Upon the upper levels the manage
meut has encountered some extremely
rich and handsome red metal ore, and
the crosscut on the 100foot level still
continues to penetrate such rock in the
most faithful manner. The most sig
njican, development at this time, how
ever, is the ore occurring III tho main
shaft at point ESQ feet below the sur
face. Mr., Schneider states that the find
has Just been registered, and he did not
have the time To wait at the mine for
developments, The ore is n sulpbide of

these hopes. They certainly have cause

der, there is great amount of activity.
He can tell from the great number of

hears good reports from different Sec
tons of the county that would tend to
