Analysis proves the;~ater toibe of absolu-
te purity. There is at this point natural
fish pond 800 feet in diameter, stocked
with an abundance OF carp of from to
q pounds weight. A popularity Of the
water is that neither snake nor frog has
ever been known to exist in thence
the greatest enemy to fish propagation
in the destruction Of the spawn is con-
spicuous for its.abseRce.
One of the most ardent defenders Of
the interests Of the county and who is
doing as much, If not more than any
other, to buoy up the spirit of the dis
consulate of Tombstone is Bagg, editor
and proprietor of the "Daily Pr =. :"
Tombstone q situated on "a fine
plateau, 1860 rect above the sea; the
business portion includes about 20
blocks, nth wide regular streets inter
vening, which are lighted by gas.
Its water works are the just pride of
its inhabitants, being as pure in quality
and ample in supply as any city can
beast of in the entire territory. Two
companies unite in furnishing the supply
viz: The Sycamore Spring Water Co,
from the base of the Dragon mountains,
and the Huachuca Water Co. from the
mountains of this name. The latter
company pipe their supply from a reser-
yoir OF 100000 gallons capacity a dis
lance OF over 20 miles at an aggregate
cost of half a million dollars. The
water has such pressure and the fire
department is SO complete that con-
Migration would appear almost utterly
impossible.
