CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
 TO WELCOME TEACHERS
(From Fridays Daily.)

On the 18th of December loo school
 teachers will visit Prescott as dele
 gates to the Arizona Teachers In 1 stitute which will hold its annual con-
 vention here from that date until the 24th. A report has been circulated that Prescott would be unable to en- certain the visitors and many of them were doubtful whether or not
 to be on hand. They have no need
 to fear that the few days will be tire
 some or lacking in entertainment.
 Numerous affairs have been arranged
 and last night the Chamber of Com
 merce voted to see that each of the
 visitors would be taken for an auto
 mobile ride, although it was not de
 cided that these rides be in the na-
 ture of an automobile club run. In
 order to give these trips official sane tion President Fredericks appointed a committee composed of Messrs.
 Hesla, Ling and Dr. Blain.
 MT. Armitage reported for the
 Water Users association that the pump had again been connected up and had showed a flow of twenty gallons per minute without any per ceptible diminution in the height of water in the well and that at 9 o. clock this morning the pump would be in action and that all the citizens of Prescott were cordially invited to be present.
 In the course of operations Messrs. Kent and Joslin aided the association by loaning them casing and the pump.
 The body passed a resolution to boost for the Panama exposition at San Francisco and to solicit the first state legislature to make a suitable appropriation for state building at the fair
 It is reported that the Commercial Mining company and the United States mine both in Copper Basin are making preparations to open up their properties and employ in the neigh borhood of 200 men. At present they are forced to ship all their supplies to Skull Valley and to transport them by wagon from that point to the mine. Were the road from Prescott to Government Springs put in eOndi- tion that trade which may be diverted from this city would in all probability be turned here. The matter was re- ferred to the committee on roads and boulevards.
 Secretary Fraser made a report on the Yavapai exhibit at the Territorial fair and explained that it was i'm possible for Yavapai to win the cup, as by the present system of awarding the exhibits are classified and each article is awarded on percentage basis. By this scheme an hundred varieties of potatoes are only classi fled as one exhibit when being cred ited on the diversity schedule. It is to raise as many kinds of products in Yavapai as in the south ern counties and on this diversity basis it is impossible for Yavapai to win the cup. Fraser suggested that instead of going to Phoenix and spending the money which is really needed in Prescott that we hold the county fair and follow the adage, "that charity begins at home" He paid fitting tribute to the royal entertainment which was rendered him and attested that every thing was on a high and elaborate scale.
 E. S. Shepard read a paper on the possibility of brick manufacturing within three miles of Prescott. He exhibited samples of dark terra eotta and light yellow brick which had been made in Ohio from raw clay shipped from Prescott. The two styles of brick when laid side by side made an attractive combination for build ing fronts.
 President Frederieks spoke of a personal letter which he had received from General Brush and Lieutenant Dodge after they had arrived in San Francisco. They spoke of the un- bounded hospitality which they had received at the hands of Prescott $ citizens and assured President Fred ericks that they would never forget the spirit of good fellowship which the entire population extended them without reserve.
