i The heavy coke teams have, pulled off and the fine road constructed fol : the benefit of the Copper Queen com pany at an expense Of &2jO10 hat been turned over 10 the county anu . i. no longer lined wi;h iweuiy-four. mule teams hauling coke to the sns.- ters. To say that Bisbce is lively i- not half expressing it. | is booming
 Tine railroad party has concentrated just on the edge of town and several hundred men and twice number oi
 animals arc at work putting the fin ishing touches to the Bisbes end O.
 the railroad, which will be compleled
 to the smelters by the first oi tue
 month. The first cars of coke came
 in on Monday last, and were un-
 loaded within half a mile of the
 smelters. 1Ee great amoupto Of work
 going on around the smel;ers and
 mine would indicate that the future
 output was 10 be far greater than any
 thing heretofore dreamed of. The
 Neptune, which is a splendid property
 and which has long been iIie, has, il
 is surmisel, become the property of
 tho Queen company. This is very
 valuable grouHl and aljaius the Quees. 4 walk over the contact two
 or three miles in an eas:eriy direction. and which is from one-quarter to one
 half mile wide, lying between lime and porphyry, will give one an idea of the vast extent of virgin ground
 still undeveloped. That this extent of country is rich and capable of sup
 porting population of ten thousand
 souls if worked in a systematic man ner may strike the reader as T remark
 able asseEiioh, ltIr lime will proye that
 the picture is not ovesarawn. =
 The greater portion Of this ground
 is owned by eastern parties who nei ther work it themselves or allow others 10 work it. 1t is the same spirit which exists to g great extent in Tombstone district and which, a. though allowable under our existing mining laws, is most detrimental Co the welfare oi any country. One thing is certain, Bisjes is still in her infancy and the certainty of capital coming to the rescue and developing a country which is capable O: such large returns for the money invested Is beyond per adventure The most important in!- provement noticeable in the toHn is the new water works, which, next to
 the Huachuca works in this city, is probably the most perfect in the Ter
 ri,ory. The water is furnished by the Copper Queen mine and is forced di-
 rect from the immense pumps into a
 3!-inch pipe which is laid throughout
 the city. Seven fire plugs arc located at convenient points in different places on the line. The citizens have pur- chased l zoo feet of hose which is dis tributed in lengths and at points where it will do the most good. Each
 fire plug is housed with the hose a.
 tached, the houses being built in 2
 substantial manner and about gix feet square. At a moments warning the
 water can be turned on and Q stream
 thrown onto any building in the town,
 making a cOnfiagraiion of any magn%
 tude impossible, and the paying oi ex-
 orbi:ant insurance rates thing of the hpast. Three streams were turned On
 Atone time on Tuesday for the benefit
 of those who had subscribed 10 the fund, and the work dcne was moro
 than satisfactory. It required three linen to hold each nozzle and the {, streams were thrown over the highest
 two-ftory building in the camp.
 | The six mohths past have been busy
 ones for the builders and artisans Of llall kinds. The magnificent hotel Ilknown as the Mansion House is one Iof the finest and most elegantly fin ished places of iis Lind in Arizona,
 A spacious stairway leads to the sec
 ond story, where one can Dc accom-
 modated with any kind of room. All of the furniture is new and was shipped direct from sheboygan, Wis consin. It is all made of oak and : walnut and the chairs O. bentwood which is SO popular at present. Down
 stairs is the saloon a=d office, and q
