A Famous Foot Race.

The late George Warren. who dis covered the Copper Queen mine, was strange old character in many ways. Ben Williams, Superintendent Walter Douglas predecessor, from a sentiment tai impulse presented the old prospec- tor at various times with a suit of clothes, hat, boots, linen, complete outfit. Did George blossom out next day in all his newly acquired finery? Not much! Once in possession of the dry goods George immediately soaked" them and promptly acquired large and boisterous jag with the proceeds.
 It is further related of the old pioneer that he staked the Copper Queen claims against a bottle of fre-water on his chances of covering fifty yards in less time than horse would require to go the same distance. The ctaims were owned by several persons before the present company secured them.

Who are the ten greatest men of the nineteenth century? This is. favorite conundrum just now. across the water, but we have seen only one attempt to solve it in print. An Eng fish periodical names Abraham Lin coin, the statesman: Grant, the sol dier; Darwin, the scientist: sfhack- cray, the novelist; Herbert Spencer, the philosopher; Jenner, "the most commanding figure i in medicine;" Froebel, the educator; Beethoven, the musician; and Morse and Stephenson, first masters of electricity and steam
 It is easy to imagine, says Youths Companion, the frantic objections Frenchman - for instance would raise to a list which mentions not one of the masters of art and life of his own nation. Noting that the list is restricted to Englishmen and Amer jeans, men of the Anglo-Saxon race, and to Gcrmans-frst cousins.

 The real truth is that man. wheth- Engl'shrlan or Frenchman, who undertakes any such classification. en- gages in perilous enterprise. He may not hope to satisfy anyone but him. self Probably every thoughtful stu dent of our own time has at least one hero whose name he would vote to substitute for some name given above.
 Yet this is a good list. one worthy of respectful consideration. It is not ours. We merely import the conun- drum and the answer. But the Amer ican who constructs a more glitterinp roll of honor will have to read hard and think deeply.

 THE SOUTH BISBEE,
 A half-mile to the southeast of the Lowell and Arizona, is opening it's siXty-one claims on a large scale. The main shaft is down 800 feet and encour- aging ore has been encountered in d Nwinze sinking from the north drift on the 700-foot level. A contract has re- gently been let to Peter Johnson and Maurice Denn for sinking t 600-foot shaft on another portion of the com pany's property. The. South .Bisbee is backed by Los Angeles capital. Its stockholders are confident that it will prove .a great ore producer. Maurice Denn is the local manager of the mines.

 The Bisbee West Mining company's property is situated two miles vest ward from the South Bisbee. It has an ideal location, and d spring in the near by mountains will be developed in the near future sufficiently to furnish the new camp with water. Being almost a brand new mine it has not yet been de- veloped to any great extent, although it has been producing a fair grade of ore from the beginning. A station is

Bisbee's mines other than those held by the Queen are six in number: The Lowell and Arizona, the South Bisbee, the Bisbee West, the Easter Sunday the Lake Superior and Western and the Cochise.

 { Such briefly is the story of the origin
 of Bisbee. Since that far day it has grown wonderfully. From a tough, gun-fghting community of two or three hundred souls, it has grown into a city with population of six thousand. It has experienced i'll fortune in it's time, but has staunchly ridden the waves of adversity to a port of prosperity and atfluence. During it's existence it's main business street has thrice been razed to the ground by fire, and twice in the days of the camps infancy did it seem the ore in the mine had been exhausted and that the little town in the Mule mountains must be abandoned. But larger bodies of ore were discovered better houses were built, and the day of anxiety and doubt was forever rel egated to the shadowy shelf of oblivion. The mine has now in sight enough ore to supply the shelter at the present rate for generation. It's present an- nual output must be in the neighbor- hood of 10000, 900 pounds of copper.

With over six thousand pop ulation, Bisbee has no pra.ticing law yer. The inference is that it does not need a lawyer, for lawyers are as ensy to get on demand as candidates for nffico :,

The Hospital.

The camp also supports an exception ally well equipped hospital for the ben eft of it's employees. Three doctors and a very competent corps of nurses and assistants insure competent treatment for the sick or injured miner. The hospital can accommodate from thirty to forty patients. Persons not em- ployed by the company are permitted to enter the hospital upon payment of a nominal fee.

Our Tall Police.

Bisbee can boast the tallest constab- ulary, in proportion to its number, of any camp this side of Mars. Constable Del Lewis stands six feet, five and one- half inches, while another member of the "foorce," shorty" Corson, combs his hair at distance from terra firma of six feet and seven inches.

The Library.

The Copper Queen maintains a public library, the finest and best equipped Tn the southwest. It contains several hundred volumes of works on travel, science, political economy, and all the standard works of literature. Its reading room has on file all of the leading mag azines and periodicals of the United States and England The manner in which it is crowded nightly by Bisbee's citizens is conclusive proof of the pleasure and benefit it affords.

DOOM OF THE LOBSTER.
The Supply Constantly Shrinking and the Price Rising Cor
 reHpOndinEly.

The extinction of the lobster is threatened. He is in too much demand as an article of food The United states fish commissioner, in answer to an inquiry from Representative Fitz- gerald, gives statistics which show the catch of Holsters in Massachusetts waters has decreased 70 per cent. dur ing the last IS years. The yield was 4,3l5,416 pounds, valued at $l5s.229 in 1880, which in 1898 fell to l,693.74l pounds, valued at s147,7O2. The yield has not only decreased but with in- creasing scarcity the price has ad- vanced, this in turn causing greater activity on the part of fishermen. The fish commissioner, says the Chicago Tribune, has been doing it's best to maintain the supply. During the last five years 3S7,04l,7 ,7O5 young Holsters artifcially matched have been liberated on the Massachusetts coast. Practi- calfy all, the eggs from which these Holsters were hatched wouSl have been destroyed had the commission not pur- chased the egg-bearing adults from fishermen, which is good evidence that but for the commission the supply of Holsters would be practically exhaust ed to-day. The New England states have laws against the catching of un- dersized Holsters, and also of brood Holsters carrying eggs, but the laws do not seein to be well enforced. The result is that in spite of the work of the commission the lobster supply is constantly shrinking, and the time may come when the lobster will be as much of curiosity as is the buffalo, and only multi-millionaires can afford to eat them.
 Anti-Typhoid InOculatiOn.
 The Lancet says that owing to the presence of typhoid fever in Natal every man ordered for military service in that colony has been given the op- ton of being inoculated with anti typhoid serum. It is said that 70 per cent. of the troops have accepted the offer.

Public School.

Bisbee has the third largest school system of the public schools Of Arizona. It has an attendance of 573 pupils. The school building also ranks third among those of the territory. Fight instruct tors, including the principal, are main tained, partly through the generosity of the Copper Queen, which pays the entire cost of the school during two months of the year. The public school of Bisbee has a longer school term than any other in Arizona. Much credit must be accorded $. F. McItae, who, iSs principal of the school during the past two terms, has had much to do with bringing it to its present state of efficiency.

 LAKE SUPERIOR AND WESTERN.
 The Lake Superior and Western has already encountered rich ore. It is as- sured of success. Itadjoins the Copper Queen property and is owned and, backed by members of the stockholders of the celebrated Calumet and Hecla mines. John Graham is general fore man of the mine.
 THE COCHISE.
 The Cochise Miring company $ mines have the most favorable location of any of the smaller mines, if one may judge by adjacent property. The Fucker, the richest portion of the Copper Queen, is contiguous to the Cochise. So close, in fact, are the two workings that the miners in the latter can hear the ham, mering of those in the larger mine. The Cochise is going steadily ahead with its development work and any day may come into the body.of ore that cer- tainly exists in that vicinity. l.. c.

The COChiSe Review.

The Review, while keenly conscious of the unseemliness of throwing bo- quets at its own shadow, nevertheless feels obliged to accept this opportunity of introducing itself to those beni ghted portions of the habitable world that are still ignorant of the fact that Bisbee has real live newspaper; not dod- dering patent-medicine catalogue, nor bill board, but a real, hustling, news distributing journal. When its owners purchased the Orb, little more than a month ago, its daily circulation all told was less than two hundred copies. To- day the Review reaches nearly one thousand readers in Cochise county, Tucson and northern and eastern cities. It receives daily the best telegraphic report in the west-the Western Press. It endeavors thoroughly to cover the field of local news, and to present to the attention of probable investors re- liable information concerning the vast undeveloped resources of our county.
 The Review is d legitimate business enterprise. It has no political axes to grind, no schemes for personal ad- vancement, and has no political preju- dices to handicap it in its mission of telling the truth as it sees it. That it is not temporary and unstable ven ture may be inferred from the names of its stockholders, men who have been unidentified with the town from its mu- nicipal childhood and who naturally regard Bisbee as their home and wish for its success. They are:
 SPENCER w. CLAWSON,
 CHARLES C. WARNER.
 JOHN A. CAMPBELL,
 STARR K. WILLIAMS.
 CHARLES A. OVERLOOK.
 JOSEPH r. CHISHOLM
 The Review has thoroughly equip ped office and has as competent corps of pressmen and printers as may be found in the territory, and its news report is by far the best for the western reader. While covering the important events occurring throughout the world it reports more fully than others the news of the west.
 A recent instance was that of the Scoiield mine disaster in Utah. The evening of the disaster the REVIEW presented it's readers with full and detailed account of the explosion and the sad results. The Associated Press reports appearing in other territorial papers gave a vague story that was pitiable by comparison. With its un- equalled press dispatches, its thorough knowledge of its environment and the good will of Bisbee's citizens, the RE VIEW cannot fail of success.

Good care, ample food and iudicious
exercise are the essentials in feeding

fed during the summer, but not 80
much that the little fellow, will be
indisposed TO eat freely OF grass or
other bulky food, for the latter is nec-
essary to the proper development OF
his stomach and digestive organs.
Two pounds Of oats day should be
given to the colt after weaning, and
he should be allowed to. learn to eat
some even before weaving. Vary the
grain feed with barley or even corn;
and il, occasionally, ground grain in
thick slop is given, the effect will be
good. But this feeding should be
moderate, and not calculated to de-
velop too much fat.

Changing Plans.

The farmer who is continually chang
ing his breeds OF stock or his favorite
crops ia very seldom money maker.
He is apt to find out that he made the
change just little too late. He sees
some one making money on beef cat
tie, and he abandons dairy farming to
breed fat cattle, only to learn that he
ought to have bred hogs. He tries
hogs. and becomes convinced that
sheep are more profitable. He gives
up crop that he knows how to grow
to take up some. speciality that his
neighbor has found profitable one,
and few years experience teaches
him how to grow it, but it also teaches
him that he could have bought his ex-
perience much cheaper. We do not
mean that man should not change
his breeds OF stock, his crops or his
method OF farming, but he will do well
to make his changes gradually, and
not part with good thing every time
lie thinks any one else has q better
thing.
