 Mining District.


 Bisbee, Ariz., Oct. 1S.-(Special cor of The Republican.eAf ter an absence of thirty days I find the Bisbee camp again revelling in pay day, the customary output in green money, yellow and other metal fall ing into the hands of 1,150 men on Monday last, then to be distributed through various channels of trade, and much going over the gaming ta- bles and adjacent bars as prelude to the general distribution. Of course the company's store is the recipient of the first rake off, the patrons of which, as employes of the Copper Queen Consolidated, being obliged to see the store people before defraying other liabilities. The trades people lie in wait and in some instances they fail to secure their due, the debt or having visited ''the bank pre- viously Bisbee camp is unlike Je- rome Clifton and Globe in many re- spects and it can be said that the Copper Queen company treats its employees well. It would take too long and occupy too much space to enter into details, so I will switch off to general topics, leaving matters per taining to the Copper Queen company and other propositions over, to be taken up under the head of mining in a later letter.
 Most notable in the improvements brought about in the past two months is the new Masonic temple, the lower portion of the building, 100x40, being reserved for the offices of the Copper Queen This is brick, with founda tion of stone, rising eight feet. The brick were made at Tucson and the stone was quarried in the Burro mountains, down the canyon. When the building is completed it will rep resent an expenditure by the Queen company of $2O,OOO, not adding fur nishings of the company and Masonic order November g is set apart as the date of dedication by the Masonic grand lodge, which will hold its an nual session in the second week Cf the eleventh month. The local lodge, which numbers forty-five members, is making extensive preparations to en- tertain guests, first in the form of an exploration of the cave meeting hall below the surface in the Copper Queen mine, and a banquet set for 300 persons, and otherwise. It is ex- pected that California, New Mexico, the southern states, Wisconsin, Ili- nois and Michigan will send delega- tions, and of course Arizona will lead them all in representation. MT. Lew is Williams in speaking of the event, said that it would surpass anything of the kind ever offered ill Arizona. Edward Vanderlip Of Crit t:enden is the oldest master Mason in Arizona and MT. Williams next. Judge VanI- derlip in a recent converse ion said that he and Mir. Williams had compar- ed notes at the last session with the above result. H. G. Howe of Tomb stone, eX-surveyor of COchise county, is the architect and Richard Ruadla, company foreman, superintended the carpenter work on the new building.
 J. B. Anguis, the merchant, has just completed and now occupies his two story building on west Main street. The upper floor con aims some twenty elegantly furnished rooms, which portion of the buildin g is known as the Hotel Anguis. Open ing day was Oct. g. Fer particulars see ad. in Republican.
 The management of the Copper Queen has expressed a willingness to flush a sewer leading out of the can+ you. to point below the mine, semi- week1yvfn the event of the town peo- pie putting down the aforesaid main for carrying off foul matter, the ac- emulation of which increases as the population grows. This liberal offer should not be overlooked for a mo- raent. Doctors bills and incidenta!s under existing conditions amount to more in month than would the est of the main, hence it is obvious that the sewer be constructed immedi- ately
 Wealth is acquired very rapidly in Bistee. There is the case of a 12- year-old newsb0y who in the past few weeks has secured an interest in the Copper Queen He would scorn ito sell a newspaper, even though a dcl- lar was in sight. Wonderful what in- fuences mining camp has upon some people.
 The adobe next ito the office of the company physician which is cccu- pied by Mckay as saloon, was sold recently for s2,200. It has a foltag of eleven feet, depth forty feet
