 WORKING MINE
 REPRODUCTION

The New Yavapai club at Prescott has been practically completed ana by the first of July the formal open ing will take place. It is now being furnished in modern style and will be one of the handsomest and most com modious club structures in the south west. The Prescott JournalMiner gives a very complete account of the construction and arrangement:
 The Yavapai club of the future Is a pride to point to. and while the oit one was memorable for the pleasures It extended and the prominence II gave to the industrial life of the com munity, the introduction of distinctive features in the present structure is to be commented as worthy of brief review.
 In this respect a notable change in design has been made. and one also that is in harmony with the principal industry of the country-an addition known as "The Stope" On entering the building from the Gurley street side the old hallway is again passed into. Leading to the east from that point or from the office, one goes into the main station. an opening 1Sx24 feet. From this a crosscut, twelve feet long, courses to the east where the vein is reached. and a drift twen- ty-four feet long. running north and south. is passed into. In the face of this drift at each end a metallic scene awaits one. of the most realistic im- agination in mining life Ores are to be seen embedded in the forma- tion at both points, and a vivid idea | is given one of the practical opera | tion of a bonanza. The timoering ! of this stope is an attractive feature of it's mechanical makeup, as well as the arrangement of its interior of life like conditions prevailing in any mine. The side timbers are 10x10, while the roof of the station is sup ported with 10x10 beams, with lag. ging of Oregon pine.
 .!'le otu.u than natural conGiticus ' prevailed in constructing this novel ! addition to the club, and no oraaTsp- tation will be permitted. Every stick of timber used is in the rough, and 1t is a perfect reflection of any frs! class piece of mining property. Mn CTS candlesticks are to be seen i'm. bedded in the timbers at all points and from the handle of each an cleo trict light glows. Dozens Of these candles are to be seen, and this ad' dition only adds to the general attrac tiveness of the scene. Signal attach ments are aIso in evidence, and Tn case one gets lost or the cars slip from the rails, there is provision
 made for the rescue of any from foul
 air or otherwise. If visitor desires

 The color scheme of the interio
 varies, many beautiful tints being il
 evidence to harmonize with the woot
 work, which is of fumed oak, ant
 wainscoating and paneling of .th' same character. The floors through out the building are of hard wood maple. The billiard room, card room assembly or ball room. cafe, buffet and the other apartments are as be

 The northwest corner of the thir'
