miles of artificial canal cutting lis needed,
far less than at Panama.
Besides, the and to be tTaversed is the
lowest depression in. tine entire Cordillera
range. between the Arctic Sea and the
Straits Of Magellan. The crest Inc and
reservoir of thecanal would be Lake Mic
aragua itself, only 10 feet above the sea
level.
It's outlet, the San Juan river, can be
awaited of for navigation s.xty-five miles,
and the lake itself is tifty-six miles, so
that. by cutting and upbullding channels
from the Pacific ocean twelve miles, and
from the Caltbbean sea westward to the
river. thilty-six miles,, a continuous wat
erway can be obtained, which, by means
of locks and dams. can be navlgated from
ocean to ocean.
The country here is so beautiful that, as
a pleasure route, the trip will be one Of
the finest in the world.
The cost of the canal VIII be enormous.
A careful estimate of the work shows
that ait least 500, 000, COO will be required
for the p
Thirty-two vessels, it is calculated, may
pass through the cana per day, or II $50
in a year. If two vessels of 2, 900 tons dis.
placement each should pass through at
each lochta ge. 20, 000, 600 tons would be the
annual capacity. The net annual tol-
rage Of theSueZ Canal is nearly 10, 900 900.
The t,ms of transit will be twenty-eight
hours.
If this canal We're in operation today its
benefits to commerce and esp &c ally to
the interests of America, would be inesti-
mable. Tha Unlted States government
could absolutely control the destiny OF
the western hemisphere, for a naval sta

termin. and a fleet Of modern warships,
would dominate she Atlantic eastward to
the Windward Islands OF the West In

The marine distance from New York to

VARSITY PLAYERS.

1t is now pretty we'll settled that George
Carlson will not be able to play on
Thanksgiving. This, together with the
fact that Jebb will in all probability be
unable to play in that game, makes our
chances for bringing home the Rollins
cup look very slim at present. The
Varsity team. however. always takes a
brace and plays its best game against
the d. A. c. and it may be expected that
the game will b. decidedly closer than
present prospects would seem to indi
cate. There has been good deal of talk
to the effec, tn f, Robinson ard Galley,
OF the Wheel club, and Bob Shaef-r, an
old 'Varsi y player, will be with the team
on that da,. Although these men would
no doubt be willing 10 play with us. and
though it may be they have volunteered
their services, it is very unlikely that the
Athletic club will permit them to play.
Our agreement with the Denver eleven
is that the Varsity will play only students
and, in case of need, the coach. 1t is not
10 be denied that these new men are
much needed and would pretty nearly
hold down the D. a. c. team. In the
event of these men joining the eleven,
the line up would be: Tonkin, center;
Turman and Shaefer, guards; Mortimer
and Robinson. tackles; O'Connor and
c rlson, ends; Whitehead, quarter; Pa :

A DiSOrderly House.

There was disturbance at a disor- derly house kept by woman named Amelia Romero Tuesday night about 10 o'clock, with the result that Rosalio Topeta is fatally wounded and not ex- pected to live, and Pedro Ariola is be- hind the bars awaiting the result of his victims wounds. The first news of the disturbance reached the office of Justice Williams over the telephone and he immediately dispatched Off, cers Thomas and Doyle to the scene of the disturbance. The officers found Rosalio Topeta lying on the floor with two bullet wounds in his body which had been fired from 3S caliber reVol- yer. One bullet entered an inch above the left nipple and came out under the left arm. The second shot entered the back and ranged down, lodging four inches above the right kidney. pr, Edmundson was summoned and the injured man cared for.
 After the shooting Ariola made his escape and was overtaken st Pete Han sens where MT Hansen had the MeXi- can he'd at bay with shot gun,
 Ariola was brought back and had a hearing before Justice s. K. Williams. He admitted the shooting and said he shot Topeta because that worthy had called him names. The justice did not think that kind of defense worth any consideration and he was ordered to jail to await the results of Topeta's wounds. The wounded man is not ex- pected to live and the chances are good that the gallows will again come into action. .i}syf

School Notes.

School closed yesterday for the hoh- days and will reopen again on Monday December 31. A shorter vacation than usual has been decided upon owing to the fact that there will be ten months term. It was thought that a week would be more profitable to the pupils now than in the warmer month of June. By having only one weeks vacation school will close 8 week earlier in June.
 Appropriate closing exercises were held in the different rooms which af- forded the children much pleasure. The chart class and first grade gave a joint program. The Christmas tree was a source of delight to the little folks. The fourth and fifth grades also pre- pared a joint piogram. The sixth grade gave pleasing set of exercises to which the upper grades were invited. A large number of parents and friends were present in the different rooms.

FIRE PROTECTION.
Extra Caution Required in Blsbee Against a Conflagratien.--
 Our Fire Department.
Every Citizen must be a Committee of one to Guard Against Fire. Sey- erdI Suggestions that Might Save the Town.

The location of Bisbee and the ma terial of which the bulk of the houses are built makes the question of protec- tion against fire one of the most ser ious matters to all the people. The history of mining camps all have their record of conhagration. Globe has sev- eral times been practically plotted out by fire. Jerome has been twice burn ed up. Bisbee has been fortunate in escaping the fire demon for long time, still the conditions here are such that once fire is started the loss of proper ty would be appallingly large.
 The present fire department in Bis bee is limited in its ability to afford protection, though it is well organized and composed of forty or fifty members who have rendered valuable assistance whenever their services have been re- quired. The department is supplied with 1900 feet of hose, and four hose carts, two carts being located on main street and two near the public school building, The hose throws a stream two and half inches and the water supply depends on the tanks on the side of the hill which are supplied by a pump. During the dry seasons the wa ter supply is very limited and the fire department would be entirely helpless in such an emergency.
 Fire insurance affords measure of protection, but the rate is necessarily high here as in all other towns of the kind where the conditions are 50 favor able to the spread of fire when once started. But after all, the precaution of each individual property holder is the best guard against fire. If each of our citizens would provide themselves with few barrels eff water on their premises with stationary lad der reaching the roof, it would be a very small expense and might be the means of not only saving their own property but of saving the town from destruction. The engenuity of men has provided the patent fire extinguish- CT protection against fire which are reliable and effective in putting out 8 fire at it's beginning. These extinguish- CTS are not expensive and every house hold should have one, where it is pos sible. The people of Bisbee cannot do too much in their individual capacity to protect themselves and their neigh bors against fire.

CUT TO PIECES.
James Hopkins losses Ills Life at
 a Saw Mill in Mexico.
lost His Balance and fell on the Sharp Teeth and is Cut to Pieces
 Body Buried at the Milf.

Last Thursday at II o'clock a. m, James Hopkins met an awful death at a saw mill located about twenty five miles this side of Nacosari.
 The first news of the accident reach ed Bisbee Tuesday evening upon the arrival of the stage from Nacosari. No particulars were known by the driver except that a man named Hopkins had been accidentally killed at the saw mill and that a coffin had been brought out from Nacosari and sent up to the mill.
 Wednesday evening c. R. Freeman, Jp., brother-in-law of the deceased, ar rived m Bisbee from Stafford, Arizona, accompanied by the bereaved wife and three htsle children, who will remain in Bisbee until the arrival of Wm. Hopkins, a brother of the unfortunate man, who was in Nacosari at the time She accident occurred.
 Jainees Hopkins was brother of Wm. Hopkins who had a contract to furnish the Moctezuma company and San Miguelito company with mining timbers and the Hopkins saw mill was the only mill in that section of Mexico. A short time ago James Hopkins who was a mill wright by trade and the ow- ner of grist mill near Hermosa, N. M., arrived from New Mexico to take charge oi the sawmill in Mexico while his brother went on vacation. Mrs. Hopkins remained at Stafford, visiting Mrs. Freeman and was to await the re- turn of her husband from Mexico. MT. Hopkins remained at the saw mill about six weeks. His brother had returned from his trip and was at Nacosari the day of the fatal accident. ~'
 Just the exact manner in which he met his death the REVIEW has been unable to learn. The letter written to Mrs. Hopkins after the accident, Dec. 18th does not give the particulars and was written hurriedly in order to catch the stage. This much is known that MT. Hopkins was working around the saw handling heavy timbers when he fell striking the saw and was fatally cut about the head before he could be extricated.
 At the time the letter was written apprisipg the relatives of the accident it was the intention to start for the line with the body, but up to the present time the remains have not arrived.
 The bereaved widow and children are at the Besemer hotel and have written to Nacosari to learn what dis position was made of the body. The sympathy of our people are with this stricken woman and friends have offer ed their services in every way they could he of assistance.
