DESERVED SUCCESS.
The Cameron Mine Wili Eclipse All
 in the Territory.

The Cameron Mine Will Eclipse All
 in tho Territory.
 The .La.t Chance" in the Grand Canyon. owned by Messrs. Camer",, and Berry, is clearly a misnomrr. Iu- stead of being the ..last chance" it has proven itself tho precursor of we'll meritrd success. The mine is now b, . ing developed very rapidly there being fully 800 tons on the dump in additinn to about one thousand tons in sight, and all indications go to prove tha, the mine will turn out to be one of the richest copper camps in the territory. In addition to this. this en,erprising company has commenced work ou the f". mine and the Grown Peak mine. the latter particularly being exceed. ingly rich in silver and lead with more than sufficient g"ld to pay working ex- penses. A full description of thes. mines together with the wonderful caves adjacent thereto which have lately been discovered. will appear in our special edition. to which we invite ihe attention Ot our readers. as we have no doubt that all will rrj",ce wi,i, Us that success has crowned the well. directed effort of these our fellow citizens,

THE WATER QUESTION

The urgency of providing an ade- qnai" supply of water for a c":nn'unit!! like Flagstaff is being felt by ever!
 one. lt is manifest to all thinking persons that we cannot wait until December next before prncuring a supply. Day by day the supply is growing .carcrr. wellaftrr we'll K giv: ing out. and if the railroad company should cut nlf tn" supply it is ditfirult to estimate the amount of distress that would be wra<i"nrd. If the railroad company did take such action it could scarcely be considered blamablp. Oa,ng [" the continued drought. the. railroad people as well as others find their supplies diminishing and 1t l.. lu, b,,sinrss policy on their part to husband their resources as much as possible. fl we suffer from lack of water we can blame nobody but our. selves. We have ample resources almost at our very domrs and farther lrocras,ination in providing a sufficient quantity of water will not alone M' fmlish hut criminal. Dollars and cents should not he permitted to weigh In the balance in this matter. Our very existence as q community depends on having n sufficient water supply and if w. fail to meet tbr +xigencv now we VAa'l be guilty os criminal negligence.
