ELKS NIW HAVE THEIR
OWN SNUG REST.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

" OAA AhA Sdas A(dAAS -
Three hundred and twenty-five
Elks OF the local lodge, No. $50,
B. P. o. E, will meet at their rest
Tuesday night to burn the old
mortgage which has embarrassed the
order so long. This happy occasion
will unquestionably prove a source
OF much JOY among the local Elks.
Yesterday the building was rescued
from under the hammer and at the
present time the order is in such a
thriving state that the Elks may
practically feel the building is their
very own.
The history OF the Elks' building,
the members struggles to save it,
and the final victory, reads like a
book
Eight years ago the building was
erected at a cost approximating S70,-
GOO. The theatre occupies but 4
portion OF the huge structure The
ground floor is divided into stores
and lobby and entrance TO the thea
ire. The second floor will when
finished, be the club rooms, and the
third floor has been the lodge rooms
since the erection OF the building.
In 1905 the Eiks decided to build
a modest rest, where now stands the
theatre. at a cost within their means.
But at the urgent request OF the
citizens OF Prescott, they changed
their plans and put up a building
far in advance OF the needs of the
city, in expectation that the popula-
ton would increase with an an
ticipated boom.
For the first four years after the
erection of the building tremendous
losses were incurred and the lodge
realized that its policy must be
changed or they would lose their
entire holdings
At this time the Elks Building
Association appointed Z. II. Meek
as manager, and he Immediately
placed the property upon a paying
basis. As result OF his continued
management an investment of $685.

Its value is estimated to be great

ruler At a conservative estimate,
at least. 10000 workers-pushcart
men, drivers, sorters, buyers and ex-
perts-are engaged in this industry
throughout the. greater city. More
than 100000 tons OF waste paper is
collected every week-a yearly crop

OCTAVE RESUMES BY
FIRST OF THE YEAR
(From Thursdays Daily.)


As the outcome of an inspection
made OF the holdings of the Octave
Mines Company during the week, it
was stated yesterday by H. c. Gibbs,
the president; D. P Lees, treasurer;
S. D. Wright and H. S. Hopper,
heavy stockholders, that it had been
decided to resume operations not
later than January l.
The party made the trip from the
east especially to look over the sit
uation, and aside from Mr. Gibbs,
a frequent visitor in recent years,
his three associates visited the prop
erty for the first time. Their OBJ
servations were conclusive, and all
freely admitted the proposition was
an attractive one. The plan of op-
Grafton covers a straight line of de
velopment only, Mr.. Gibbs stating
that the big plant was not to be
utilized under any conditions what
ever until sufficient ore had been
blocked out to warrant treating, and
when a large tonnage was avail
able Underground conditions were
found feasible for the beginning OF
exploration under an economic sys-
tenn, and considering that several
years have passed since suspension
took place, the property was yet in
good condition to so ahead on the
lines mapped out
The reviving of this famous old
gold producer creates considerable
comment of favorable nature
among mining men of this field
many OF whom were conversant with
its meteorological makeup when il
was closed down. 1t is a parable
case to that of the Vulture, that i:

L
NEW YORK, Nov. l2.-Is the
millennium at hand? New York's
union of walters has declared
against tipping and is holding mass
meetings and otherwise working out
plans TO abolish the nuisance
Already nearly half OF the 5000
active union walters here have signed
petitions to the legislature to make
it misdemeanor to tip a waiter
or for a waiter to accept tip and
to provide as punishment to fit the
crime a years imprisonment or a
$500 fine or both. The walters have
the enthusiastic backing OF the COM
mercial travellers organization. The
average wage OF walters here is SIS
month Some receive more but
many less. For the difference be-
tween this wage and a decent liv-
ing they must depend upon tips,
which they claim is prejudicial to
self-respect. Hence. they will de-
nahd wages OF $50 or thereabout

were Judge Sloan. Attorney, General
G. P Billiard and Neal CLARK. The
latter was driving when the start
was made
Friends in this city presume that
some rough going was encountered
or that the machine became balky

senses as yet. The lack of word,
however,, has alarmed friends of the
three.
Ordinarily the trip from Phoenix
to this city takes about eight hours.
1t is possible that the heavy rains
