 CTS if an account of the progress of
 BlSbee City becomes monotonous.
 During the past week we have had
 many visitors in camp-even has
 member Of the newspaper fraternity deigned to sojourn in our midst. in the
 person of MT. H. N Woods. now st. tached to the staff publishing the
 Tombstone Nugget. Having, as vet, no accommodations for those remain Ing over night, tue stores open thcir doors as refuge to the wanderer; and every evening counters anl all avail able places are utilized, making an inn al once humble, yet vast i'm pTovement upon the wilderness fur
 nished by nature. Twice this week nine or more visitors slept iu the store of Messrs. Nichols, Lamb & O., fill. ing floor room completely.
 Tombstone has awakened to the stern reality that her sister neighbor may at no distant date be a for midable rival of no mean consider ation. So deep an interest have the population Of Arizona's brightest pros pect taken in Bisbee City that sub scription for direct communication has met the hearty approval of all. Messrs. Chas. Ackley, Jas. Dickey and II. NJ. Woods have surveyed the closest possible roadway this side of the San Pedro river, making an easy access to the Pass without passing through Charleston, and avoiding a long circuitous route of abou; ten miles of unnecessary travel; also the crossing the San Pedro twice, feat of no mean undertaking during the heavy rains along the bottom lands. The new road is already |" Jagged" " and Il is the firm hope of the ones in- tcrested that ere another month passes we will have forgotten the old time worn trail in the existence of a well marked road way not more than g miles in it's entire length. Then ln- deed, may We expect a maIl-ronte and in this joining with the outer world will we become an item worthy of no ticc.
 Improvements in tho shape ot build ing. are retarded because of the difl- culty of procuring lumber, and so the different classes of business are at present content to use caEvass arch i'ec:ure for shelter. We have now meat market-a branch of Messrs Kramer (E Co., of CharlcstOu-under the management of NJ. A. Ryan, and at thls early day it requires four beeves to supply the demand per week. Lots are being graded and sold all down the canyon, even below the shelter. and should water be found by Messrs. Herring & Co, there can now be no doubt of a beautiful and profit able future for this mountain settle ment.
 The Queen is progressing in her powers of production with every blast. Each full days work consumes nearly fifteen tons Of ore, making the round of three shifts (day and night about thirty tons. Each charge consists of 300 pounds of ore, 5 pounds of silica and charcoal and coke to complete it. From the run of full twenty -four hours, there is between four and five tons of ore. which in San Francisco quotes at 227O. Today, besides the shipment of 43,OOO pounds now on it's way to the Eastern reduction works, there lies 10000 pounds on the metal " dump" awaiting teams to freight It to Benson. "Actions speak louder than words" The shelter, under the able of its inventor, MT. Lewis Williams, is perfect in the working of ores from the mine. The crucible bottom, made of A mixture or clay. quartz and coke, DulveriZed, seems too trail to withstand the intense chemical action of the copper upon it's surface, and in consequence thereof requires constant attention and occasional replacement. Eveutu- ally. all these delays will be avoided, and then can be known the full power of production,
 As yet, everything about the mine shows an unlimited quantity of high grade ore. Openings at different points, it matters not where, always disclose the welcome green" and at all times during the day visitors may he seen hunting specimens" which are most generously given by the own CTS of the mine-MessTs. Martin and Ballard. At night it is a glorious sight 10 watch the flowing metal as it leaves the furnace spout and passes down the slag-waste. The weird ap- neorance of trees and grass, the bus iIe off the workmen, make one doubt the existence of peaceful rest" So lives on Bisbee City, happy and hope full "i"hS'
