GOLD DREAMLAND
SEXES OLD MINER
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Bill" Sykes of stage driving
fame in this and other sections of
Arizona, before the iron horse
wendell its way along what is now
the Southern Pacific and the Santa
Fe routes, has something up his
sleeve in St. Louis, Mo-, resembling
the big FL Dorado hidden on the
desert, with the earmarks of the
Peg Leg. the Niger Ben or the
Adams diggings-millions in the
old time cache.
Sykes writes to friend in Pres
colt that he wants him to go along
early this fall. as an expedition is
forming and the heat at present
prevents the wild rush and the sure
shot reward all are to receive. Sykes
also states that he has known that
somewhere between the twin
peaks" gold galore was ready for
the lucky finder, but his dreams
had never attained such a practi-
cal shape as to permit of the iden-
teal spot to seek and find until he
embraced the teachings of a Hindu
priest, and now the dawn Of the day
of success seems near. Psycholo-
gical guidance is assured. and as
he says, "all that remains is to get
move on and go after it with
both feet"
Skyes was with a party that left
Prescott over thirty-fve years ego
to pick up few million in the yei
low stuff. in the, northeastern cor
ner OF the State, but they all re
turned with their gold bags empty.

STONE OF SCHOOL
From Fridays Dailyl


With pomp and ceremony, the
Grand Lodge of Masons will lay the
cornerstone of the new Prescott
high school sometime during Au-
gust or at such date when the con-
tractors pronounce the word to
go ahead" The local order is
already arranging its plans for the
coming event and it is proposed
that it be made one of the greatest
in the history of Arizona.
The grand master of the State
and other State officers will be
among those present at the cere-
mony. In addition, scores of Ma
sons from throughout the State
will probably answer the invita-
ton to come here.
Twenty-nine years ago when the
cornerstone for the State capital
was laid, the local Masons were
in charge. Alonzo Bailey, now
dead, laying the stone. Later, the
building was converted into the old
high school building and today the
wreckers are rapidly approaching
that portion of the building where
the old cornerstone has been solid
ly imbedded for nearly two score
years. 1t is suggested that the
Masons take charge of. and pre-
serve the old cornerstone.

THE BIG ELECTION
(From Thursdays Daily)

Taxpaying voters of the county
will be called to the polls on Tues
day, July n, to determine whether
or not $250,000 in bonds shall be
issued for the the erection of a
new court house to replace the
present antiquated structure. Thar

Supervisors after an extended Pc
riod of campaigning. litigation and
propeling of the good ship Boom
the new court house"
The date set was concurred in by
all three members of the board,
who were present, and the action
was taken in concurrence with the
initiative petition signed by over
fifteen per cent of the tax-paying
voters of the county. There is
every indication that the day now
set for the final climax to the in
teresting proceeding, will remain
final. In other words, the board
will probably refrain from postpon-
ing the election again after it is set.
Long Term.
The boom for a new court house
was started nearly a year ago. In
itiative petitions were drawn up and
signed by the requisite number Of
voters. The question arose as to
whether or not the Board of Sup
ervisors was vested with the au-
thority to issue bonds for public
improvements. The point was IN
important one and went to the
courts.
Judge Smith in the Superior Court
declared mo-. The boom for a
new court house was apparently
dead. In fact no steps were taken
to appeal. Finally, reawakening
occurred and the case was appealed.
The Supreme Court reversed the
decision and the election was an
assured fact.
Some strenuous campaigning will
be done by the new court house
boomers between now and the date
for the election A major portion
of the taxpayers throughout the
county will be in the CITY during
the Frontier Day celebration and.
of course, they will be afforded
plenty OF opportunity to become

with my husband" Uttering these
words, Mrs. Hilaria Esparcia Val
edes invited the officials at the
county Jail to place her in cell.

separation as was ever called to the
attention of the local authorities.
About month ago, the woman
eloped with Juan Garcia, taking
with her five tots. The husband
objected to this course of proce-
dure and traced his faithless wife
and lover to a wood camp near
Prescott. Arrest was followed by
a trial. Garcia was sentenced to
six months in the county jail and
sentence upon the wife was sus-
pended. the poor innocent tots max
ing necessary such a course.
Witnesses testified that the hus
band was a law-abiding citizen and
that he supported his wife. After
the trial a reconciliation was eff
fected but the latest developments
indicate that the return to the Je-
rome home was only temporary.
The officials are at a loss as how
to act in the case.

Beauty Of cities Has Cash Value.

A decision which should be Of spe-
cial interest to San Franciscans, per-
picked as to the billboard problem.
has just been handed down by the APP
pellate court division OF the New
York courts. says the San Francisco
Chronicle. A construction company
has unnecessarily destroyed several
shade trees on a city street. and the
lower court had mulcted IL in damages
to the extent Of $500 for each tree
destroyed. and $1,000 In addition for
willful destruction of aids to civic
beauty. The bearing Of this decision
on the billboard problem is seen in
the new conception OF beauty as a civ
ic asset, a view Of the local difficulty
so often lost sight of In unfolding
the award the appellate court stated
that It looked not so much at the com
mercial worth of the trees as at their
aesthetic value. which, II considered.
was the more important OF the two.
The decision Is without precedent, but
It is a striking illustration Of the new
idea as to the Importance Of civic
beauty, not only for aesthetic but for
commercial reasons.
