MRS. l. (. DERRICK
 CALLED BY DEATH
Froln Fridays Daiiy)

Mrs. Leslie Derrick died yesterday morning at her home on South Mt Vernon street. The end came as a period to the sufferings of a brave woman, whose last few months were Ia struggle against an incurable ill., ness.
 With her at the death bed were MT Derrick and the dying woman's mother, Mrs. Clara L. Helmer of Everett, Wash, who had come to be near her daughter during the illness that was known to be terminable only by death
 The body will be conveyed to Clin- ton, Wis, for burial, and mother and husband will accompany it.
 Mrs. Derrick came to Prescott Is years ago as a teacher in the Pres colt High school, where she taught history and English. She had gradu- ated from Beloit college in 1899 with the degree of A. B. and had taken her M A. degree from that institu- ton in 1901 following her return from a year of travel and study in Europe. It was in 1907 that she came to Prescott.
 During her service in the high school, Miss Edwards, as she was then, assisted in bringing the insti- tuition to its present recognition as a preparatory school. She worked under the direction of Louise Gibbs, now Mrs. Frank Hart, in this work.
 In 1912 she became the wife of Mir. Derrick, then cashier of the Prescott National bank.
 It can be said of the deceased that she left her impress on her com munity, not alone by reason of her work with its chief educational in stitution, but because of her wonder ful character and warm personality. The fortitude she displayed during her final illness is an index to her remarkable strength.
 The funeral services, by which the community may recognize the pas sing Of a valued member, will be held at the home Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The Rev. Lee Howard of the Congregational church will of ficiate. The burial will take place on August 10 at the girlhood home in Clinton beside the grave of her father.

OLD INDIAN SKULL
 FOUND BY CREW ON
 HIGHWAY TO MAYER
From Wednesdays Daily)

A relic of the old Indian days is on view in the window of the Birch cafe adjoining the St. Michael hotel, lin the shape of a skull brought in last week by members of the road crew employed on the Prescott Mayer highway.
 The skull was unearthed by the men while grawing the road. It is estimated by Bob Birch to be about l00 years old. From the condition of the skull, it is apparently that of an elderly Indian. This supposition is supported by statement of Col Fred Bowler that it was a custom of the Apaches to kill members of the tribe, both men and women, when they had outlived their usefulness.
 On the right side of the skull, on top, two fracture marks are still to be seen, and third is found on the left side, lending color to the belief that the Indian was killed. The relic Is ill good state of preservation, though two or three of the teeth have come out since it was found. It is in two parts, the jaws having come separate from the cranium and upper part of the face

FRONTIER DAYS
 AFFAIRS CLOSE
Lot of Detail Work Remains to Complete Financial Statement Which is Due Soon; Growth of the Institution.
CFrom Wednesdays Daily)-

Within the next few days the Prescott Frontier Days association will be in position to render its financial statement to the guarantors of the 1922 contests. Since the close of the contests, the management has been busy arranging first this detail and then that. The steers which had been placed on pasture at the Wes- ton ranch were sold Saturday thru the untiring efforts of Bill Johnson, assistant arena director.
 The mass of data and figures and the checking of all bills is no small task It can be pointed out with pride by the Frontier days officials that at least one institution in the state of Arizona has been managed to date without an official receiving one cent of remuneration. The Frontier days have grown so that today they compare favorably with the Arizona State fair and the unsel- fish work of the Frontier Days as sociation officials IS something that stands in class by itself
 As matter of general information it is interesting to note the manner in which funds are received and dis bursed by the Frontier Days associa-
  ton. Committee chairmen submit their budgets and work as near as is humanly possible within that amount. When a bill is contracted it must be approved first by the chairman of the originating commit tee, then voucher is drawn which is signed by the originating chairman then by the executive chairman and executive secretary, after which 1t IS presented to the treasurer, who makes of the voucher a voucher check While the enormous detail work connected with such a transac- ton is apparent, all officials approve this method of handling the finances
 Chairman Otrhel of the finance committee is particularly anxious for those whose names appear on the subscription rolls to make their re- turns immediately. Only few of these items remain, as majority of the business interests preferred to be- come outright guarantors.

ROAD
 IN GOOD SHAPE
Traveller Writes Chamber of Commerce That Highway is in Better Condition Than Ash Fork Road After Rains.
(From Frioay's Daily)

The road between Prescott and Seligman is in fair condition, except for some rough spots on which road crews are working, according to in- formation received yesterday at the chamber of commerce from P. A. Oliver of California, who is traveling to the Utah side of the Grand can yon. MT. Oliver was in Prescott last week and few days ago set out to make the trip overland to the canyon and around to the Utah side, a trip which will take him about a month. In his communication, he says:
 Crews are working on the rough spots about 25 miles south of Selig- man. The road from Prescott to Seligman IS better, in my opinion, than the Ash Fork road, especially after the rains.'

 YEAR POSSIBLE
From Thursdays Daily)

It is considered likely that con Istruction of the long-awaited federal building to house the Prescott post office, United States district court and other federal offices here may be brought about within the next few months, according to J. A. Mayne, of Selma, Ala, superintend- ent of plumbing installation at Fort Whipple under a contract awarded by the government to William Will bey of Alabama.
 MT. Mayne last night left for Okla homa, where he will visit his family before returning to the Wilbey head quarters in Alabama. Before leaving he said that Mir. Wilbey IS planning to bid on plumbing work for the federal building here It is Mr.. Mayne's understanding that the gov ernment intends to let the contract for the Prescott federal building within the next year.
 The government has owned the tract of land on which the federal building eventually will be built, for six or eight years. It lies on the southwest corner of Goodwin and Cortez streets, and the construction of a building there will add to the civic center" of Prescott.
