BANK TO OPEN AT
HUMBOLDT NEXT WEEK
(From Friday's Daily.)
Hlimboldt, no longer a village, but
now a thriving, prosperous town, is
to have a bank to cater to its finan
cial wants.
Ever since the management of thc
Consolidated Arizona Smelting Couk
pany was placed in the hands of G.
M. Colvocorcsscs, that institution has
continued to expand until today it is j
conceded to be one of thc most cap
ably directed copper concerns in the
btatt. And along with thc expansion
cf thc smelter thc town
has grown
apace, waxed rih and ambitious. In
iaci tne smeucr is tnc town, tor with
out it there would be no Humboldt
on the map of Yavapai county. Oat-
man was thc first town to bc hit by
a boom, then came thc Jerome ex
citement with the bringing in of thc
United Verde Extension, but the
growth of Hlimboldt has been steady
until today it can not house its in
habitants and dwelling places arc im
possible to secure. During these
JC3i4 01 graduar.ng from it swad-
,1ImS clothes Humboldt has not hid
a banl:- but ,he business of th.
smelfintr company and the lartei
ipany and the large
i
number of us employees has been
transacted through the Prescott State
P.ank. But Humboldt has now
rearhed a commercial standing where
it is entitled to more consideration
land the Prescott State Bank, ever
I quick and responsive to the meds ot

branch there, which will furnish all.
