 Bisbee has offered purse of $500 for the first prize in the double handed drilling contest to take place there on the Fourth of July. The size of this prize is expected to at tract the champlon drllIers rom all over the west. As there has been considerable discussion over the quality of granite used generally in these drilling contests, it being claimed that the granite used in Col orado is softer and more easily drilled than the Arizona granite, a block of Gunnison granite. the same used in Denver and later in Fl Paso, will be shipped to Bisbee for this contest. A sample of this granite was shown yesterday to the Journal-Miner editor and it seems to be of a coarse and softer quality than the Prescott gran ite, which accounts no doubt for the better records made in Colorado than in Arizona.
