 |S UP: u I Y'S PROGRAM GROWS
Many Organizations Working Together to Make the 1923 Community Free and Christ mas Eve Program Worth.
(From Tuesdays Daily)

The Prescott community Christ mas tree yesterday was raised to a commanding position in the plaza, at the right of the central walk from Gurley street on the north side of the court house. The tree is as high as the Buckley ONeill monument, which 1t faces; and when Bob Con- nell and his decorations committee and all the others who will help in the community Christmas program get through with it, the tree will look million dollars to the eyes of all the Prescott kiddies who will gather around 1t on Christmas eve.
 With the help of Bert Savage, Chairman Cornell will string electric wires and cover the tree with tiny colored electric light globes, to be lighted for the community program. Meanwhile, local organizations of every sort will join i'll decorating the tree with all the goodies and gifts they can get together. Among those who will take part in this work will be the Rattlers club, the Fellowship Bible class, the Young Women's Christian association, the Boy Scouts, and many others. All organizations or individuals who want to help with this work are asked to communicate with the chamber of commerce.
 A big community Christmas pro gram will be given on the plaza Christmas eve, when the tree is sighted. This program, which is now being arranged, will be under the chairmanship of Prof. s. H. Martin, superintendent of city 5choosl The basket committee under the chairmanship of Mrs. Richards is preparing plentiful supply of baskets full of good things and serv- ceable, for distribution at the tree, md the membership of Good Eel ows club which IS helping with this work, is daily increasing. Ben Pow ITS is i'll charge of the financial end of this work, and any contributions o swell the fund will be appreciated. |

.DOS OR|S ORE
 VALUES LARGE
(From Tuesdays DailyJ


 Indications that the showing of high-grade silver ore encountered at the Dos Oris mine last week will confirm the hopes of those interested in the property were forthcoming yesterday when samples which E. Nutter, general manager of the property, declared were taken from the full width of the eight-inch vein were assayed and found to give the following results:
 A sample from the middle of the streak of argentite which it was de- clared would run between 500 and 1000 ounces in silver ran $12.40 in gold, $1,320.60 in silver, making a to- tai value of $1,333 A sample from the south part of the streak ran $16.52 in gold and $l,O43 in silver, total value of S1,060.13 to the ton. Assays of samples from the black sulphide streak laying alongside the richer argentite deposit assayed $500 in gold and S5l.10 in silver, a total of $6970 to the ton; and of a sample of lead ore laying on top of the argentite streak, the assay was 28 per cent lead and eight ounces of silver to the ton.
 The Dos Oris was recently taken over from Burmister & Hill by the Standard Metals company, formed by a group of seven Denver caDital- ists for that purpose. Manager Nut ter will continue exploration of the eight-inch argentite streak immed- lately after the holidays.

The University of Arizona is no

 Such was the message of Dr. Cloyd

 Prescott High school student body yesterday morning and the Prescott
 Rotary club yesterday noon.
 Dr. Marvin yesterday appeared be- fore the high school students in the auditorium and presented. Prescott with the University of Arizona
 Presidents cup for 1922, in recogni- ton of the success of seven Prescott High school graduates in making the highest scholastic record in the fresh man class of 1921-1922 of any group of freshmen students from any other Arizona city. On the cup are en- graved its name, the date, and the following inscription: "Won by the Prescott High School,% followed by the names of the seven students who swon the cup for Prescott High Elizabeth Angel, Wells Heap, Dor othy Hill,.

 These figures do not include the campers at Groom Creek, Granite Dells or below Fort Whipple. The Iabove figures only cover the count Of new arrivals and, as many of the fears were here 90 days or longer, such cars were only counted once.
 AS there was located here during the three summer months an average .of more than 5 cars daily, which .cars remained here during that time, we believe there were at least an average of 15 more cars of campers, that we termed as transients, only remaining from F to 48 hours. These figures make total of 1,500 cars per month or a total of 4,500 cars during the summer season, ill addition to which are the cars that came through this section, both in the spring and during the fall sea- sons, which are not included in our estimates.
 Using the actual check made by the Pine Dells company, as a basis, which showed 1,237 passengers in the 4l2 cars reported by them, we believe we had during the summer season at least 13,500 onc-night camp visitors, plus those in the 42 perm ancnt tents located at Pine Dells, who paid over $3,OOO in rentals and which on basis of S1 each per per son per day would bring the total to 17,O0O camp visitors, averaging more than F hours each ill this section of the county.
 Your committee would urgently suggest that the chamber of com merce arrange to make provisions for one, and one only permanent camp ground, as close to the city of Prescott as possible, and that all campers be concentrated at such a location, doing away with the camp CTS being scattered in various places, as ill the past That 1t be so located that our visitors will have the benefit Of gas, water and electricity, all of which we know the great majority of visitors will appreciate and will be more than willing to well pay for.
 'El Paso, Tucson and various towns and cities ill California and other western states have provided such grounds and not only find them profitable but also lind that they stand as splendid and perm arent advertising mediums to the establishing them.
 When it is fully realized the amount of money that is annually spent by our visitors in this com munity, we believe the business in -crests will see that by increasing the convenicnccs for their. use, we will rapidly increase the number of visitors, all Of whom leave money ill Prescott and adjacent towns
