SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT.
Basket Social at Walnut Grove Net.
Over Hundred Dollars.
J. N. Piper is engaged in teaching
the school at Walnut Grove and Mrs.
Piper is teaching the one at Craig,
both in the Wlanut Grove section of
country. On Saturday night the two
districts united in a basket social for
the benefit of the cemetery in Walnut
Grove, the proceeds to lie uted in
fencing it.
The affair was interspersed with a
musical aud literary prgramme, which
was quite interesting. Of course
every oue knows what a basket social
means. A young lady puts up a lunch
for two iu a basket and then the bas
ket is put up at auction and sold to
the highest bidder the purchaser hav
ing the privilege of sharing the lunch
short visit with his family. He re
ports the work of putting iu a com
pleie aud up to date metalic circuit
system for that city as about com
pleted. He also reports things looking much
brighter for Jerome, as the smelter
has begun to hum again in good old
fashion, and coke has lieen coming iu
in suciffient quantities to warrant the
addition of another train on the U. V.
and P. railroad, nhich was pur on to
day, making two trams running daily,
a thing that has uot beeu done for
many months past.
The smelter is also doing business at
the old stand, 'hree 100-ton jackets
having beeu started up within the
past few days and two more were to
start today, making five 100-ton jack
ets i nning full blast day and night.
This gives the people of Jerome a
great deal of encouragement and
there is no doubt that a few more
weeks will see the mine and smelter
running with bigger forces than ever
before. There are several thousand
tons of ore on the roasts which has
been burned out and are ready for the
smelter, while some ore is being taken
from the mine and roasted.
The large new hoist has also just
been started up p-id is working in a
very satisafctory n .oner. The Journal-Miner
congrat lates Jerome that
Two new bills were also introduced.
One was by Corbett providing for this
appointment by the district attorney
of any county in the territory, with
the consent of the board of supervis
ors, of a county detective having all
the powers of a general police officer.
He shall have authority to arrest per
sons without warrrant. His salary
shall not exceed $1500 a year. The
other bill was by Kibbey amending
the divorce laws. It changes the
period of abandonment before a suit
for divorce may be hruoght from two
years to one. It also makes other
than physical cruelty a canse for di
vorce. A memorial against ceding a strip
from northern Arizona to Utah was
adopted in the house.
Bernard's stock bill and the bill
amending the law so as to make the
office of county assessor elective in
first second third class counties were
passed.
A bill providing for the reduction
of salaries of county treasurers and

J. J. Fisher, who returned a few
days ago from an important surveying
trip, near Needles. California, in
speaking of the enterprise with which
he was connected, said he lielieved it
would prove a bouauza to those inter
ested. The proposition is to irrigate
a tract of land embracing between
RXO00 and 40.000 acres lying just
south of port Mohave, by
ditches, flumes, etc.. the water to In
taken from the Colorado river. The
people who are back of the enterprise
are wealthy Michigan ieople who have
plenty of means, and if the survey
just completed develois the fact that
the water can be placed on the
ground, work will lie commenced at
once. Mr. Fisher says the soil is as
tine as ever lay out of doors aud every
inch of it will be worth $100 ier acre
if it can lie irrigated, and he believes
it can. This will furnish homes for
quite a MMfed of families aud it is
to he hoped it will prove a success.

SATURDAY NIGHT SOCIAL
The popularity of the Saturday
uigbt social dances, at I. O. O. F.
ball, were demonstrated again last
Saturday uight when between fifty
and sixty couple were present, not
withstanding the fact that a grand
masquerade ball had been given in
the same hall only the night before,
aud at which ball it seemed like every
dancer in the city was present. On
that account the managers of the Sat
urday uight social hardly expected
that many dancers would put in an
appearauce. but those who have been
attending these socials have enjoyed
them so much that they felt they
could uot miss even this one, so, as
above stated, they turned out in
good numbers and had a fine time.
There was no special feature for
this occasion, except the music which
was furnished by the club's regular
orchestra, Mrs. B. H. Smith and Er
nest Emanuel, and which is always
enjoyed by Prescott dancers.
Next Saturday night the social will
take the form of a Washington's birth
day party, the date being February 21.
the day before the anniversary of that
notable event, and an appropriate sou
veuir of the occasion will be given to
each person in attendance.
Messrs. G. F. Tinsler, Henry Suder
and Frank Lowe, the committee hav
ing charge of these socials, have made
a grand success of the venture aud
the socials will undoubtedly continue
to lie a regular weekly feature of the
soieal life of Prescott.
DON'T' FILL THE BILL
The sheriff's office in Prescott re
ceived a telegram yesterday afternoon
from Nogales that two Mexicaus had

with that of the murderers in some
important details, and be is of the be

that part of the territory somewhere
will proceed to Nogales to take a look
at the prisoners as soon as he can be
found and notified.
