STEPHENS MARKET
From SATURDAYS Daily.)

(From Saturdays Daily.)
A business change of importance
was that which was consummated
yesterday when Bob Young and
Fritz Keller bought the Stephens
& Hoover meat market on West
Gurley street from J. c. Stephens
With the taking charge of the
business Monday morning by the
new proprietors the place will be
thoroughly renovated and otherwise
improved to the end that modern
market in all RESPECTS will be the
result.
Messrs. Young and Keller will
handle the business themselves, be-
lieving that in this way they can give
better satisfaction to patrons. In
fact, they about know the meat
wants of every family in Prescott
and will make it their personal
business to see that these wants are
catered to. Mr. Young was for
thirteen years the manager of the
o. K. market and Mr. Keller worked
by his side for a period of seven
years on the block and in that time
they both grew acquainted with the
desires of the trade. Their aim will
be to please and to accomplish 1t
they will handle none but the best
OF meats and at prices which will
meet competition in any part of the
State.
Until such time as new slaugh.
terhouse can be erected they will
slaughter elsewhere than where ii
has been done in the past.
The new partnership is composed
of two competent men and is sure
to prosper.

SOME COLD IN THAT
COUNTRY, HE SAYS
(From SATURDAYS Daily

Mr.. and Mrs. John A Griffith,
with their daughter, Miss Geneieve
Griffith. are recent arrivals from
Grand Forge, B. C., attracted to this
section TO remain for the winter to
escape the frigid climate OF the
northland
Their impressions are decidedly
pleasant and it may be possible
they will locate here. When asked
if the weather suddenly changed in
his country and the mercury dropped
down toward the freezing point, the
visitor replied: THAT is what We
are hoping for right here. At our
home in the north the temperature
ranges from 80 degrees TO IS de-
grees below zero-for at least six
months in the year. and the mercury
right now is at work In fact, the
Grand Forge region has the undis-
puted title to being the coolest place
on this earth. and there is not the
slightest break in the frigid climate
from the time it begins to get cold
Until the summer suns get into
good working order.
1--WE have dropped down to Pres
colt in a jump and our aim is to get
gradually acclimated and go into
what you people call cold weather,
which from reports received is like
slumbering beside blast furnace so
far as the climate up north is 20
be considered"
Mr.. Griffith is a retired capital
ist, and for many years was well
known mining operator in the above
country. Later they may visit the
Castle Hot Springs. and when full
fledged Chinook wave strikes their
homeland sometirse within the next
year or so, they may possibly take
the back track to see how affairs
are going ahead From their pres
ent disposition it would appear, how
ever. as if this section has added
another desirable family to the stead

PROVISION IS MADE
FOR THEM.
(From Sundays Daily)

Supervisor William Stephen yes
terday settled for all time an in
teresting point raised by many cit
liens since the public school bond
issue was carried several days ago.
The point raised was:
IF the county has no authority to
issue courthouse bonds has it the
power to issue school bonds?"
The board has because provision
for bond issues is contained in the
general school law The courthouse
advocates base their campaign for an
election and bond issue upon the
initiative and referendum law. No
special provision for such an cleo
ton is made in the statutes, it is
declared.
After the election is held by the
school trustees of a certain district,
they deliver report of the result
to the county supervisors who then
issue the bonds.
The report of the recent election
will probably be forwarded within
the next several days to the county
supervisors. The school trustees. will
then look over tentative plans for the
two structures to cost about $685.

ROAD INTO SLATE CREEK
TO SOON BE READY
From Saturdays paily.l

Road Superintendent DIM. Clark
stated yesterday that next week
the new wagon road from the sum
NIT of the State highway into Slate
creek will be ready for traffic, the
distance being about 200 feet.
Heavy work was encountered at
one point on this line where a cut
of twenty-six feet deep through 14O
feet of granite was necessary to keep
the grade down, but which is now
being completed. Between the Com
mercial camp and Skull valley the
repairing of that road for the dis
lance of about six miles goes ahead
and the grade is being widened.
In anticipation of heavy traffic of
the future, sections are being capped
with gravel, and when completed this
strip will be a veritable boulevard.
Auto travellers recently have COM
planned of the soft condition, but
this is due to the character of the
work going on and is only tenn
porary.
From Prescott to Simmons a
force is at work and needed re-
pairs are being made to be COM
pleted in a short time. 1t is re-
ported that after the Copper Basin
equipment is available, work will be-
gin on the road from Whipple to
Dewey, as surveyed by Engineer
Goodman of the State Another i'm
portant piece of work will be cen
tered to the Verde valley in re-
pairing, while under consideration
for the near future is the Mayer
and Black Canyon sections A re-
view of road building in short
shows that practically every local
ity in the county is being extended
consideration in either repairing
old or in building new roads.

worked were taken from the dump
without any asserting whatever. The
plant has been leased and in a short

One Of the desirable features at
tached to this property is that it

tonnage blocked out with that on the

being opened by tunnel, and under
