The water question in Bisbee is be- coming one of grave importance. The wells in the west end of town that have never been known to fail. are now be- ginning to show u very perceptible shrinkage in the supply, and it is only in the early morning that good watelsis to be had. If the dry weather contin- ues in it's severity great while longer the water supply in this section will surely be exhausted. And then what?
 Messrs. Baxter and Jones, Bisbee's crackerjack team of drillers, who went down to Tucson to compete in the drill ing contest on the Fourth, were passen- gers on the incoming train this after noon.
