London. March 2.-The war in South
Africa has again reached a stage which the
British newspapers critics are pleased to
call the eve of the termination. The ru-
mors of the surrender of General Botha
and the collapse OF all Boer resistance
iourlshed 10 the great heneft of South
African stocks. That those who are most
responsible for carrying on the war do not
share this optimism is perfectly evident

Guiding Lord Roberts. Incir carefully pre-

WHILE every industry In Arizona has grown and shows marked improve ments during the past year, it is grati- flying to note that none has made a more pronounced advance than the in- dustry of publishing newspapers. Nearly all the old papers hare been improved ard several creditable new ones have been established, with one ortwo more in embryo. The newspapers of Arizona have done great deal for the progress of Arizona and are today keeping up the work by recording from day to day and week to week the many new enterprises that are being under taken for the future development of our marvellous resources. The REVIEW is contemplating important improve ments in the near future.

THE REVIEW wanted to see Major James McClintock appointed secretary of the Territory. The people of Arizo- na wanted the gallant Major thus hon. ored and recognized, Lot only for his bravery. and courage in placing himself in position to stop almost the first Span ish bullet shot in the war with Spain, but because of his real worth as man aud citizen. He had almost the undi. vided support of the press of the terri tory, of which he has been an honored member for many years. But while we regret the turning down of McCllntock in the matter of the secretary ship. it t pleasant to read that the President has concluded to find a good place" for him, and the better the place the more gratifying it will be to the people of Arizona.

BiSBtt AND VICINITY FORCING AHEAD.

There is no let up in the daily arri- val of strangers in Bisbee. They come to see Bisbee first, with its great min ing industry, and they then visit the adjacent and tributary towns, where they find the greatest activity in every business enterprise. The push of the westerner is a revelation to many, who open theireyes in wonder at the utili- ration of every inch of ground in mining camp, and their wonder in creases when they inquire the price of property and the rents received on same. Today every carpenter and me- chanic in Bisbee finds himself rushed with contracts or in his daily werk. Many important buildings have been delayed in their construction for want of either men to proceed with the work or material. During the past year in this town there has been a decided tendency towards more substantial buildings, and many os the present lumber buildings would be replaced with brick or stone structures if it were possible for present tenants to se- cure quarters for their business during the required time to tear away the old and rebuild the new. The population of Bisbee is growing very fast. The people are wide awake and never lose sight of the fact, or the opportunity to impress ths fact on strangers, that within the next five years Bisbee will be twice its present size, both in popu- lation and volume of business. While Bisbee people continue to gash the mountain sides for foundations for new buildings to accommodate the in- coming population, our neishbors-- Naco, Douglas, Naeozari and Cananea are all making an eqally rapid growth. All these towns are supported by the mineral industry of this section, and as new mines are continually being opened up one can hardly imagine when the present rate of growth will subside. The Calumet & Arizona will soon very largely increase their pres ent working force, the South Bisbee company will do likewise, the Copper Glsnce will soon reed many more men, and with the completion of the Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad many new enterprises may be expected to be inaugurated in this mineral country.
