Junction City Lumber C0mpa ny.

This morning we dropped in at the Junction City Lumber mill and found the 60 or more hands there busily engaged in manufacturing lumber. Under the sheds the buzz of saws and the noise of machinery could be heard on the one hand, and the sound of hammer and saw in the construction of more sheds for the increasing stock of lumber could be heard on the other. The yard was full of wagons unload. ing rough lumber for the rip mill, newly added feature, and the side track was filled with cars to be loaded for the outgoing product.
 The eleven acres of ground comprising the plant and yards is fast filling with lumber. the present stock amounting to more than S30,000.
 This mill which started on rather small scale, has grown until today it's monthly pay roll is more than Sl5, ,000, for men and material, and requires 10 to 90 wagon loads of lumber to feed its saws. Jno. A. Davis. the manager is making a success of the Junction City Lumber Co.

 Auspices Prescott W. 0. ".

Prescott theatre goers are promised Wednesday night, OctO- Der 10th, big minstrel jubilee by the choppers, and from what we hear, 1t promises to be the event of the season. The style ad- hered to will be "Old Time Min strelsy,' something seldom seen on the so called minstrel stage of today For with the advancing of minstrelsy the old time darky scenes, capers and peculiaritleS are nearly all lost sight of and the strength of minstrelsy of to- day grouped in a grand specta- cular" first part; gorgeous cos tunes, numerous electric lights and effects are presented to us season after season. The old time after piece, or finale" in which
  appeared the whole company is a thing of the past.
 Not so with the Dixie Minstrels in which the choppers will ap pear. It will be of a style new to the younger generation and re- minding the olders ones of the days of Dave Reed, Archie White. Billy Emerson, Happy Cal Wag- ner, Dick Sands and many others who have gone to the great be yond and who have left the world brighter for having been here. An evening at the minstrel then meant an evening of laughter. The Dixie Minstrel is faithful reproduction of the old time min strelSy.

Too Wet 10 Hunt.

Stamboul, La, Oct. 10-Secre. tray Latta returned to day from his visit to the president in the latter's camp on the Tensas river bringing with him batch of newly dictated letters, and recol. lections of a very wet night spent in camp. He says that yesterdays rain was even more than was bargained for, and that while the first effect was to put the woods in good condition, they became so wet by , o'clock that the party was compelled to return to camp. The rain, which had begun early in the day, continued throughout the night, and it was decided not to venture out at all today, owing to the water in the cane brakes in which they are hunting. No one has yet sighted a bear, but the dogs found a trail yesterday, and the professional hunters ex. pressed the opinion that from the sound the baying meant they had located a real bear. It was dark, however, and it became necessary to call off the hunt. The president puts in much of his time when not engaged in the hunt in reading and in converse. tion with his as SociateS and the guides and hunters who ac company them. Another deer was shot yesterday.
