"D. F. Mitchell Esq., the photographer, has sent us two handsomely taken and artistically executed stereoscopic views of the Prescott schoolhouse. Proud as we are of this magnificent building, it brightens our admiration and increases our veneration to know that we have a man among us capable of transferring its shadow indelibly to paper, in order that we may admire it at home and send it abroad. Mr. Mitchell has a large number of Arizona scenes suitable to send away, and we are told by those who have had experience that nothing is more highly prized in California as coming from Arizona than these views. Human likenesses, true to nature, he makes a specialty of. Go and “secure the shadow, etc.”
