LIKE OTHER DAYS THE
OLD PECK IS ACTIVE

lFIOI1 w eQHtSQdy 5 Ddlly.)
Arrivals in Prescott on Monday
from the Bradshaw mountains, stat
ed that one of the main topics en-
crossing the attention of mining
men, was the reviving of the old
and famously known silver bonan,

Richard Uumlah and o. l. Tawney
who had secured it under a. lease.

worked out. Another zone is to be
exploited, as we'll will a line of
large development be followed into
the old workings that produced
silver ores that ran into the thou
sands 'of ounces to the ton in years
gone by.
Tawney and Umlah are known
in mining circles as capable men,
and the fact of them. associating
themselves for the purpose to re-
vive this old property is regarded
as significant of the possibilities of
that or any other mining PROPOSE

of this old time property at any
rate is creating very much COM

evincing keen interest as TO. the

WRECKERS TEAR DOWN
ANCIENT CAPITOL
'CFrom, Wednesdays Daily.)

fFrom, Wednesdays Daily.l
Falling victim to the steady trend
of modern education and the need
for increased facilities. the irst ac-
tual capitol building OF Arizona is
thing OF the past A score of
wreckers armed with a complete
outfit of wrecking paraphernalia are
today putting the finishing touches
to the old monument.
Many thoughts are recalled uaily
by scores of business and profess
sional men and even women and
children. as they walk daily by the
scene, to the tune of the crashing
hammers and chisels The old build
ing. long a landmark OF the city
and notable for the service it has
rendered in the task of converting
Arizona from a wilderness into its
present grandeur, had become a
fixture to the eye and the thought
that it is now disappearing has
caused more than one interesting
expression of inner feeling.
The building was erected in 1885
when the offices were removed from
the small frame structure now To-
Gated in West Gurley street At
that time, the building was regard
ed as gem for home. There
was plenty of room, the quarters
were of excellent construction and
the arrangement for those days and
this part of the country were con-
ceded excellent.
In 'So while the fifteenth terrific
rial legislature was in session the
capital was removed to Phoenix.
Two years later, the School Board
of Trustees purchased the struc-
ture and land for $4,000. With
a few improvements the building
was made an ideal school. at that
time supplying more than sufficient
room for the city's needs. A small
four-room structure had been the
only dispensary of knowledge up
until that time.
From 90 until 1904 the old CAPT
toll was used as a school building
for the Joint use of all branches OF
the local school department.
In 1908 after the Washington
school was built at a cost of $751;
600 the School Board ordered ov-
erh7uled the old capitol in order
to use it solely for high school pur-
poses. Improvements costing $1,000
were made and Prescott for the |
first time in its history prided a
structure exclusively devoted to the
use of the high school grade. The
tenth annual commencement exer-
cises were held last week.
"Oftimes as I go by the old
building and l see the wreckers
pulling down that which has been
so pleasant in our memories, l wish
that we could have devised some
way in which we could have pre-
served it." declared President NJ.
B. Hazeltine of the School Board.
