The Arizona Miner Prescott, Arizona Territory May 24th, 1873 Camp Date Creek. It was late in the evening when we arrived at this military post and exI ndian boarding house. The post—trader’s store of our excellent friend, Geo. H. Kimball, was filled with citizens, military officers and others, who were anxiously awaiting letters and papers from Prescott and other up—stair viil ages. Capt. Geo. F. Price, an old newspaper editor, stumper and soldier, Lieut. Trout and many others whose names have slipped our memory, were there. Kimball offered us samples of nearly every good thing in his establishment, many of which we had to refuse, owing to paucity of transportation facilities. A good supper, change of horses and driver, a crack of the whip and we were bounding along for Wickenburg.
