 P. P. Hastings suggested that a
 map of the county, showing the
 reads, towns, mines and particularly
 the surveyed lands, would be valu- able advertising medium. Such a
 map could be outlined in black and
 white and printed from a plate and
 would serve the purpose of an ex- pensive Autographed map. The Santa
 Fe had such a map of the A. 6 c. country, and it had been in great demand. The matter was referred to the advertising committee.
 Eugene Neuman, upon being in vited to speak in relation to his sum- mer colony at Idylwild, said that he had sold 200 lots to people of the Salt River valley, who had signi- fled their intention of establishing homes there. The great difficulty had been in inducing them to build homes, as each person wanted to de- fer building until he had some neigh bors. MT. Neuman thought the Cham Der of Commerce should cooperate in the enterprise. At the close of his remarks he was advised to submit definite proposition to the Tourists and HOmeseekers' Committee.
 F. P. Cruiee stated that while re- gently in Phoenix, he had been told by Shirley Christy there were num- Der of race horse owners who would like to train their horses in Pres eOtt during the summer, if the old race track could be put in order | and stables erected. If this could | be arranged, it would bring forty pr fifty men here. Upon motion, the ,nair was authorized to appoint special committee to look into the natter.
 The secretary was instructed to make arrangements with the Bank of Arizona for permanent headquarters, which had been offered free of .harge, and to procure the necessary furniture. A. J. Head, who was present., kindly offered to donate quantity of chairs.

RECKLESS USE OF FIREARMS IS
 CONDEMNED
(Frsn Fridays Daily.)

Since the Rivera shooting has
 caused such widespread comment, and
 the carelessness of the small boy
 with his firearms has received uni
 versal condemnation in the practice
 so wantqnly followed within the
 city limits of using weapons at his
 own discretion, many complaints
 have been recorded against permit
 ting this practice to be continued. Yesterday in recOunting what has of ten happened at her home in West Prescott, Mrs. W. J. Martin, wife of the well known mining man, stated
 that but a few days prior to the wounding of the above Mexican resi- dent, she was struck by a bullet of small caliber, and in turning around saw several small boys running away, knowing that the shot had struck her. Mrs Martin states that had it not been for the loose fit ting dress she wore the bullet un- doubtedly would have penetrated her body. Mrs. Scott, another resi- dent of that part of the city, few days ago, had an experience that proves the wanton disregard of the small boy for the life of people re- siding there. She was standing near the window of her home, when a bull let came crashing through and lodged near her, in the furniture. Many similar affairs have been given publicity. Alexander Zinforth, stranger, from Portland, Me, while coming to the city from a trip to Thumb Butte, last week. yesterday stated that he say several boys near the road, with rifles, and distinctly heard the hissing bullets as they passed close to his person. He in creased his gait, and considered him helf fortunate to escape without being struck.
 The boys are said to indulge in the 1 practice of shooting birds on the ground and from the trees at their | own free will, and never take into where they are aiming, | so far as property or people are to be considered. They have been seen within the limits of the city using their firearms, and the Rivera incl dent is but one of many that will follow if not immediately suppressed l

 He had letters from eleven people
 who were coming to Prescott to ex-
 anime into conditions. The current
 issue of the West Coast Magazine
 contained an advertisement of Pres
 colt and several illustrations of the city. In regard to the inquiries be- ing received, the secretary stated
 that 95 per cent of them were re-
 garding land. The most. urgent need was pamphlets and matter was being prepared for one.
 Chairman Heap of the Tourist and Homesteaders' Committee reported that he and his associates had been examining locations for a summer colony and that the most suitable was a tract of land lying between the Zoo and Indian Hill. The property was owned by F. M. Murphy and the committee was awaiting the return of that gentleman from New York to open negotiations with him. A map had been prepared of the tract which lies directly south of the Zoo, and later in the evening, during a recess it was examinted by the mem- bers.
 F. G. Brown reported that six new members had been added to the roll, four of whom had paid their. dues.
 Speaking for a special committee that had been appointed to confer with Prof Holman of the University of Arizona regarding establishing a school of mines in Prescott this summer, F. O. Smith stated that it was the intention of MT. Holman to bring students here, and spend the first two weeks in one of the big 1 mines of the county and utilize the of the period in studying conditions at various other points. The course of instrue ton was open to all persons interest ed in mining and it was hoped that !, the summer school would be made a feature

Coll was ex- aetly adapted to fill the various du- ties that would be required of him in Prescott as the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. MT. Fred erieks then called upon LeRoy An dersOn to relate what his committee had subsequently, accomplished in the way of securing a man for the posi- tiOn. MT. Anderson stated that the names of five or six applicants had been considered and that the one deemed the best was E. D. Barrows of Sacramento, Cal, who has been doing special work for the Evening Bee of that city. He was the pri- vate secretary of W. E.

CONSTRUCTION OF
 BRIDGE NEARLY COMPLETED
From Thursday's Daily)


 Constructiop of the new Terri torial bridgs across the Verde River at Camp Verde is nearing the end and it is expected that by the end of the present week it will be turned over to tn he Board of Control by the Missouri Valley Bridge and Iron company. The third pier was com pleted last week, and the removing of the wood superstrukture will be finished today. The final work will be the laying\of the steel frames and will require but a few days, when the bridge will be finished, with the exception of the approaches. This will be done by the Territory, and will require but a short time, the fills being light. The bridge is 300 feet in length, and is durably con- strueted, all three piers being lodged into the bedrock, and have with stood tremendous freshets during the past month, without damage. The bridge is one of the most popular public undertakings ever extended that section, and with the road move ment, the people are much pleased ever having it available for traffic.

BUSINESS ACTIVE IN TOWNS ON
 SANTA FE
CFrom Fridays Daily)

Returning yesterday from an of fieial trip of several days along
 the main line of the Santa Fe, c. E. Gentry, chief deputy assessor, states that the man killed a few days ago, near Ash Fork, by the Overland
 train, was either Samuel Norton or Samuel Walton. The unfortunate man was walking down the track, and owing to deafness did not hear the approaching flyer, which gave the customary signals of warning and attempted to slaeken in speed. The man was thrown several feet in the air, and death was instantaneous. The body was also badly mangled. The deceased was walking toward Williams, and while fairly well dressed, had but a small sum of money on his person. His body was returned to Ash Fork and buried.
 MT. Gentry states that /the double track of the Santa Fe has reached point about four miles east of Ash Fork, and is being used daily Tn train service. Rapid progress is being made in laying rails with the new spiking machine, and it is ex- peeted that in a few months Williams will be reached with the double line in running order The work of lay ing the extra track west of Ash Fork to Seligman was started today, and the shifting of several hundred track men is going on for that pur- pose.
 Business conditions along the line at many places were reported as good and with the return of the thousands of sheep to the summer range, continuation of good times is an- 
 The liveliest town along the Santa Fe visited by MT. Gentry, is King man, where over 100000 head of sheep are being sheared, requiring over one hundred men in the work. The business men of that city erect ed at their own expense several sheds, provided water, and extended other considerations to the wool growers.

The bullet has not been ex- tracted from the top of his head, near the median line of the skull, the attending physician stating that it is a very dangerous operation and may be attended with serious re- suits if an attempt is made to re- move it. It is embedded to a depth of nearly two inches, and if com plieatiOns do not follow, it is be- lieved he will recover The past twenty-four hours have been the most favorable in the man s condition since receiving the wound.
