An Extensive Water Project.
TOMBSTONE, May 24.-The Huahucs
Water Company have pipes laid to this
city, and will be ready to deliver water in
a few days. The source Of supply is al
the Huahuca Mountains, being the con.
centration of several streams from differ.
ent canyons of the mountains. Work has
been under wav since last July, and is q
complete success, as the finished main
line of pipe, about rs miles, will proceed
from another canyon in the mountains,
with five miles of pipe, having the great
est fall of any in the United States Of the
like character. The streams are capable
of running 1900, 900 gallons of water daily
when in full flow. The reservoir is capa-
BILE of holding 1850, 900 gallons, and is
completed. The work contemplates the
removal of the quartz mills from San Pc
dro River to Tombstone, being heretofore
at that point in consequence Of the scar-
city of the water. The cost of the works
exceeds $500, 900. The capital is being
furnished by New York, New England and
the Western Investment Company of New
York City. The project is of great prom
Use to the future of Tombstone, and will
be of vast benefit to millmen, as more
than $4,000 is daily spent in freighting
ore to San Pedro River to the mill sites.

OF new ones will be of vast benefit to the
community, and will largely increase the
bullion output.
A Hot Meeting Of the Produce and
Grain Exchanges.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.-The Produce
Exchange held a very hot meeting this
morning over the question of a number of
prominent members seeking to join the
Brokers' Grain Exchange, among whom
are such well known operators as Geo. W.
McNear, VIM. T. Coleman, H. l.. E.
Meyer, A.. Bannister of the Starr King
Mills Company, B. Bruce of Balfour,
Guthrie & Co., E. Mehlert of Dresbach &
Co. and others. 1t was decided to enforce
the rule that any members Of the Produce
Exchange joining the Grain Exchange, or
any similar organization, either in person
or by proxy, be suspended OF ten days
notice. A lively rivalry has arisen between
the two Exchanges. The Grain Exchange
shows greater dash and familiarity with
the call business, but the Produce Ex-
change intends to make a vigorous fight
for the supremacy, and will start an in
formal afternoon call on grain on and af-
ter June l, in addition to the regular
morning call. A lively speculative bust
ness in grain is p~rophesied in the near fu-
ture.
