COPPER COUNTRY IS
 FORCING TO THE FRONT
(From Wednesdays Daily.

w. Jeff Martin of Rumble Bee, now in the city, reports a healthy condition prevailing in the Black Canyon copper field, due chiefly to the big operations at the Kay, where a three compartment shaft is being sunk to a depah of 1000 feet in 6 formation prevoiusly explored by diamond drilling. In addition to this big undertaking, the visitor stated the Harris property is being shaped up, and dozen smaller properties in that section will be moving this spring.
 The railroad situation is the basis of considerable comment, and when plans are definitely decided upon as to route, and a volume of details to be outlined and adjusted, the crys- talization of this important question would be made known.
 The past year there have been scores of engineers in that field, and it is now admitted that a huge schist belt is there.

PRETTY TRIBUTE PAID

Yesterday there was observed along the entire line of the Santa Fe system, including every branch rail road subsidiary thereto, a beautiful and solemn tribute to the memory of o'clock for a duration of five minutes o'clock for a duratoin of five minutes not a move was made in any depart ment of this gigantic railroad service.
 This action was taken in reverence to his memory and at the time the funeral rites were being observed.

 Mir. Ripley had visited Prescott quite frequently when the head of the Santa F6- and t IS stated stztteA 94Iha 9f him that he had personally known more rail- road men and could readily recall them by name than any other rail road magnate in the nation. He started at the foot of the ladder and climbed to the highest round, which gave him a familiarity with the busi- ness and tempered his later manhood with a good will toward all, from the lowest to the highest. He passed away at Santa Barbara, Cal, few days ago.

WHAT PRESCOTT
 HAS LOST BY NOT
 HAVING PAVED STREETS
BY MARY PETTID (St. Joseph's Academy)


 This question seems almost ironi- cal when asked of enterprising peo- pie of this modern day. Anyone can see the opportunities Prescott is los ing, the precious time and energy wasted.
 Must it be said that the man who placed this advertisement, Prescott, Mile-High City, All Modern Convent ences-Best Climate and Water in the State" in the different parts of the city, has not told the truth? Arc rot paved streets one of the modern conveniences? Yet Prescott which, according to statistics, has more wealth for its size, than any city in the United States, has not one paved street. Flagstaff, not one-half the size of Prescott, boasts of paved streets.
 Health-seekers, looking through the atlas of the United States in past years, found that Prescott was to be their Promised Land Arrived here (but any doctor of Prescott will tell you) numerous wealthy health-seek- CTS, have immediately sought more up to date health resort, because their doctors last injunction was: Don't ride over rough roads, see that the town is clean" Earnest seekers after health, they could not stay-the roads were too rough, the unpaved streets are too unsanitary.
 The business man, who displays his wares, is dismayed when the breeze in the summer and spring blowing over the unpaved streets disposits dust over his carefully arranged dis play, causing much annoyance and extra work.
 If we have paved streets, it will mean electrically lighted streets, and these two modern conveniences will eventually bring a modern hotel, which we need badly, and which would accommodate hundreds of summer resorters, who have, in the past, been disappointed and have had to leave our town on account of the. lack of proper accomdnodations.
 If tourists heard that the mile-high city, whose natural surroundings are wonderfully attractive, possessed paved and electrically lighted roads within the city, innumerable more tourists would make Prescott one of their stopping places, and thus in crease the prosperity of the place hundred per cent.
 Prescott is, and will remain, if we so wish it, the commercial center of Northern Arizona; her banking is the soundest; she has the most up to date stores, but if we are backward in this one regard (paved streets), we will be less progressive in other things. and as a matter of course we are going to lose out.
 Next June. Mt. Vernon and Pleas ant streets are to be paved, and if residents see our great necessity cant you, Business Man? The Santa Fe depot, neat and mod ern, tells the newcomer that he has arrivel at a real, live western town, but when he reaches Gurley, our principal street, and sees river of mud or, in dry weather, is greeted by a whirlwind of dust, he is quickly disillusioned
 Business men of Prescott! Give your town something in return for the living" she has given you for many years. You will be compensated by the gratitude, not only of your contemporaries, but of your poster ity, for your wholesome interest, in cooperative community improvement they will say, Behold! his works live after him"

Things at Hartley had insisted upon

/ was shamed by it. / felt indecent in
my almost involuntary conjectures re-
garding Mrs. Sidney. Circumstances
did demand an explanation. No one
could perceive the strange facts of the
house and not speculate as to their
cause. 1t might be unpleasant to do
so, but it was impossible not to do so.
The predominating fact, however. was
that my folks were coming home, and
I knew that my affection for Mrs. Sid
ney had become a sacrament and my
affection for Isohel tragedy.
The yacht brought these dear people
to the landing in the river at Hartley
house. l, in the city, was called on
the telephone by Isobel. There was a
dynamic value in the inspiration of her
voice. She was, in her greeting, CHEEKY
and wholesome. 1t was a glad, clean

"Ahem, thirty-five dollars, eh? Why,
am willing to pay forty-five dollars.
Would you have any objections to my
going to your landlord?"
''You had better come in and see
my husband first"
"Why should I see your husband,
ma am?'
Because he is the middleweight
champion of the world, and after he
gets through with you l don't think
you would even want to pay ten doll

him to expect you this evening"
The man has not returned yet. He
probably never will. He wants to rent
