PRESCOTTS AGAIN
 VISIT IN PHOENIX

Thomas J. Prescott and wife of San Diego arrived in the city on Sunday night and will remain for several days. Mir. Prescott, who lived many years in Phoenix, is not sure that he would not like to re- main here. It is not much like the Phoenix he left behind him. He has been here only once until now since he went to the coast three and a half years ago.
 During his residence in Phoenix, MT. Prescott acquired a great deal of valuable property and he has re- tained all of that and is glad of it. He once owned a ranch which he sold at the time he left for what he had paid for it. He wishes now that he had also retained that, for it is now worth several thousand dollars more.
 In short, though MT. Prescott does not admit it in so many words, he believes that those who leave Phoe- nix make mistakes.
