4 lnCkY Miller.

MT, Steve Miller, of the Copper Queen store, was in state of glee when he called at the REVIEW office on Thursday morning. The cause Of this hilaritr was the fact that on Wednes- day he received letter from the men who have been hOri for artesian water on his ranch on the san Pedro river, stating that at depth of 4l5 feet strong How Of water had been en- COuntercd and that a constant flow was bringing up l50 gallons per minute. This well is located in th St. David artesian belt, about seven miles from Berson. Mr Miller has eighty acres of choice land, as level as floor, which can be irrigated with this artesian How. This land is fenced and it will be at once seeded to alfalfa. . 2.
 Mr. Miller is to be congratulated not only or his individual gain, but also from the fact that he has contributed a source of wealth to Arizona, Whoever develops water to irrigate an additional acre of land in Arizona is public ben efactOr.

TRE IMPROVEMENT co.
They Are Pushing Their Various
 Enterprises With ViqOr.
Their Telephone Line Now Reaches NaCO, Overlook and San Ber-
 nardinO Ranch.

The Bisbee Improvement company is pushing it's various enterprises with commendable vigor. This com pany has achieved such success already that there is quite demand for stock outside of Bisbee. People with money have applied for several thousand dol lars worth Of the stock. but all appli cations for stock from non-residents of Bisbee have been turned down, as it is the policy of the company to keep all the good things possible in Bisbee. Besides, the more men who can be in terested as stockholders in Bisbee the greater the home interest in the vari- ous enterprises to be promoted.
 Last week the telephone line reach ing Naco was absorbed by the Bisbee exchange, and during the present week MT. A. C. Hunt, the electrician for the company, has been putting in small exchange at Naco, which will probably include ten or twelve phones. On Sat urday last an instrument was put fin at Overlook townsite, and the business men of Bisbee now have ''hellow connection with that point, which will be a convenience not heretofore en- ioyed. Those who desire to reach the long distance points will be required to go to the central office in Bisbee, and for such service charge of 25 cents will be made.
 MT. Hunt has, on his individual ac- count, taken the contract to construct telephone line from Naco to Cananea, 8 distance. of B miles. The various mines of the famous Cananea camp will be connected by phone, requiring half dozen or more instruments.
 The work of putting in the Bisbee telephone line was begun six months ago, and now 73 instruments are in use in Bishee, besides the outside or long distance connections.
 Mr Frost an electrical engineet, is now in Bisbee making surveys and other arrangements for supplying the city with electricity, the plant to be put in by the Bisbee Improvement company. This has long been needed, and it's coming will be hailed with de- light by the public. The generating plant for furnishing electricity will be located in the ice plant at "the switch, " about mile below town.
 The ice plant, contemplated by the same company, will be an up to-date lO-ton plant, to be in operation at the beginning of the next ice season, and it is understood that Bisbee will then be supplied with ice at lower rate than they have previously had.

GREENE CONSOLIDATED
AM litigation Over This Property
 Compromised at Phoenix.
Giving to W. C. Greene and Ills As-
 sOCiateS Undisputed Title.

A special dispatch from Phoenix to
 the Tucson Star, dated the 18th says the litigation over the celebrat- ed copper mines at Cananea, Mexico, owned by the Greene Consolidated Copper company, was finally s"ttled to- day by compromise. The Greene com
 pany now has undisputed title. The Arizona investors are all taken care of and have assured profit and are satjs- fled.
 MT. Greene and Judge Barnes in con sultation with Mr. Gage and MT Horn don after three days consultation final ly brought this about. The two 200 ton smelters are ready to blow in, and copper production will now begin and continue without stop for many years. This assures @ railroad from Naco to the mines. It is a part of the business tributary to southern Arizona and is of great importance to the mining indus try. .....
 This will be specially gratifying to the people of Bisbee, where Mr. Greene maintained Headquarters of the Greene Consolidated company until recently, While he has So vigorously contended in the courts, still lawsuits are eXpen- sive and he no doubt was glad to end his legal fight, even by compromise. Legal battles have been fought over this property in Phoenix, Fl Paso, Texas, New York city and in the courts of Mexico.
 The results of the many tilts in the courts have been to vindicate MT. Greene and his associates in their con- tentions, but notwithstanding this the basis of compromise was one demon streting the we'll known generosity of MT. Greene, who has always been dis posed to protect all the Arizona stock holders. The mines at Cananea are great properties and no doubt will yield fortunes for all who have been so fortunate as toretain interests in them.

Much inconvenience has been caused in Bisbee recently by the non-arrival Of freightS from the west.

Porte RiCarS for Hawaii.

At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon three car loads of Porto RiGans ar rived in Tucson from the east. They are en route to the Hawaiian islands, where they go under contract to work for the sugar planters. They made too much time since leaving New Orleans, and it was feared that if they were left long in any largescity waiting for their ship they might skip, and the cars were stopped at Sanderson in Texas, as it was quite certain that they would not attempt to run away in that wilder. ness. Before the annexation of the. Hawaiian islands to the United States coolies were imported from China, to
 gether with Japanese and Portuguese, to work under contract. The Ameri- can immigration laws put stop to this, and the planters have been east ing about for some other means of se- curing laborers. Attempts were made to induce southern negroes to emigrate to tho islands, but with little success, so now the. are trying tue scheme of getting Porto Ricans, who, being al- ready under American jurisdiction, are not subject to the immigration laws and can be taken under contract. The train stopped in the Tucson yards two hours. Tucson Citizen.
