Streitz X Thompson, en- gineers, have been instructed to pro- ceed with the survey of the site for the proposed federal building and will begin the work this morning.

 A COUPLE OF SURPRISED MEX lCANS.-Yesterday morning there was a fierce fight in the street in the lower part of town between two Mexican women. While they pulled each oth- CTS hair and assailed each other with vile names, a crowd of 200 gathered to see the fun. Finally Constable Murphy appeared, when one of the women ran away. The officer took the other and started to jail with her. On the way they overlook a couple of Mexican strangers who had just come to town. one of them proposed to pummel the officer, and they laid down their bundles and started toward him. When they got within a conven- tent distance. they were covered with a revolver and were added to the process sion destined for the jail.
 HOUSE BURNED UP-A few min utes after o'clock last night, a fire alarm was sounded from box 2S, oc- casioned by the discovery that a building just south of the capitol was in flames. It was a new frame struc- ture, not yet fully completed, and though the fire department made a good run, before it covered the in- tervening mile and a half the building was practically destroyed. It was re- ported last night to have been the property of a contractor named Crutchfield. The house had never been occupied and the origin of the fire could not be learned. It was a forbidding night for a fire as a high wind was blowing all evening from the south and east and it was for tunate there was no house to the west of the burning building, within a long distance.

 STATEHOOD TREE-The Prescott people have hit on a pleasing idea ;,, IO FDT Miner: What will probably prove one of the most interesting events from a historical standpoint, twill be the planting of the Statehood tree during the coming Fourth of July celebration, and most appropriate was the selection by the committee yes terday of Governor Sloan to perform that ceremony and make the dedica- tory remarks Chairman E. A. Kast- her interviewed the governor last evening during his brief stay in the city and he unhestatingly accepted the invitation.
