 dertake 1t Jointly.

The preliminaries only were arranged yesterday by the point excursion com mittee consisting of R. B. Burmlster, w S. Goldsworth, Dwight B. Heard, J. F. Cleaveveland and Harry Welch. but when the influence of these two orSani- cations is officially behind anything 1t has to go. And when that thing hap pens to be the further cementing of d cooperative spirit already most pro- nounced, between two such fine com munities as Phoenix and Prescott, the support of the public is already assured, especially when the plans are to en- courage people to do what theT are al- ready mucn inclined to.
 After the meeting yesterday the news was broken gently to Prescott by the following night letter:

With the intention of sinking 500
feet from the 125-foot level, gaining
total depth of 625 feet, a new COM
pany, organized last week in Port

Gold Hill Mining company. The new
company will be known as the Grey
Eagle Mining company. Of which
Ward B. Stevens will be manager,

Wolfe will continue as engineer. For
mer Manager VanHouten will remain
in the Gold Hill district, which he
believes Is soon due to come to the
front In a mining way. The Grey
Eagle has a new and complete mill
ing equipment. A two-machine air
compressor is now being installed,

will be used in sinking. The mine

visable.
