 Greets Old Friends.
 w. E. Deity, mining engineer. While l have often been a visitor to this city and the mines adjacent in a professional capacity, will say this, that the ride today over the territorial highway pays for the trip to Prescott, and there is not dis. senting voice in the large number who took the trip over the wisdom of the expenditure of the public money. l am pleased to renew pleas ant associations and to greet old friends again"

 Pioneer Stage Driver.

It was a question to "get there" at any cost, and the prancing mustang held the key to the travelling situation.

Yes terday MT. George went out into the hills at a swift clip in an auto on a very smooth grade and in a country that was safe to life and limb. Upon his return he said: This has been one of the greatest trips of my life, not withstanding I formerly resided in Prescott. The territorial highway is one of the greatest pieces of work l have ever seen, while the scenery excells anything I have ever believed was to be found in Arizona. | l wish We had had that kind of a . roadway, when my father was staging it in and out of Prescott in early | days. The visit has been a very agreeable one and I will come often in the future to see the pretty little city that is so handsomely situated among the pines a mile high. The old time climate still holds good and is a splendid asset"
