Is word of only half a dozen letters, but it has a whole lot of meaning. 9ust now it's the policy" of the police man to stop gambling for few cents every day, because those nickels and dimes if laid away would buy quite few pounds of tea or coffee every year; just think of it, , cents per week for a year would buy half dozen pounds of health bracing, nice tasting tea Isn't it too bad our cops cannot get after the gosh blamed beef trust and put an end to their "policy" of rob ping the people? Then again, if the bluecoats could only get after the pol 1cy' of doctors charging a dollar, in stead of 25 cents. for yaccinat1ng, how many good dollars would have been saved by the people of Water bury during the past six weeks if such a policy could have been enforced! We believe in good policy" but we have no use for bad policy By bad policy we mean gambling, rob- ping the people by raising the price on Anything when there is no need of it, or charging exorbitant prices for some thing which is useless, but which We are compelled to have. etc. By good ''policy'' we mean our own plan of doing business: it always has been and always will be our policy to sell good quality tea and coffee at req sonable price and people who drink the kind we sell will have no fear of their health or brassy buttoned cops If you do not believe us try it six months from

 ABOUT SONORA

The mineral resources of Sonora are just beginning to become known" said Mir Marks, of Hermosillo, yester- day. lie is interested in several min ing propositions in Sonora, and is vis- iticg in the city for a few days with his brother, Emil Marks.
 "I am confident" he continued that the Yaqui River Copper company will be greater than the Cananea property. Stock is now selling at $11 share.
 The company owns about 4,000 per senencias of land on the Yaqui river. east of Las .Brfetas Assays made on the ore run between p and 54 per cent in copper
 There are many improvements promised for Sonora that will greatly assist in the development of the unlim- ited resources of the state. Many of them are coming in a short time.
 "~he Southern Pacificcompany will undoubtedly build railroad from their immense coal fields at San Mar cial to Baranca. They are now work ing the fields but must have better means of transportation.
 There is also likelyhood of the Can anea being extended to Guaymas. This is one of the things included in the concession granted by the government to the Cananea company.
 Another improvement is a large smeIter that Al Bernard and associ ates will build at Guaymas. It is te have a capacity of 1000 tons in twenty four hours and will be equipped witf all the modern appliances. The com pany has a concession for the districts around Hermosillo and Guaymas.

G. M. Fo Jinson, mining engineer ot the Detroit Copper company, F. ]. Coleman, assistant superintendent and D. s. Giddings. assistant to MT. Rob inson. arrived in Bisbee Sunday, com ing from Florence. where they had been as jurcrs in the United States court. These gentlemen came to wis it camp ol which they had heard much and in which they felt special interest. because of the fact that the company by whom they are employed is practically under the same owner. ship as the Copper Queen here. They put in a busy day yesterday visiting the smelters and other works in the forenoon and going into the mines in the evening. accompanied by Superin- tendent Clawson.
 try at Morenci has not been noticea- ply disturbed on account of the recent low price of copper.
 The recent completion of the new gymnasium building at Morenci has added much to the attractiveness and comforts of Morenci. The new hotel building there is being pushed to com pletion. While the hotel will not be as large as the Copper Queen in Bis bee the outside finish will be more picturesque and attractive. Up to the top of the first story the outside walls are encased with cobble stones about the size of a mans head. The cobble stones are laid in cement and when vanished will give to the hotel a very unique appearance.
 ~Morenci has been making rapid progress during the past year" said Mr Robinson to a Review reporter yesterday A new twelve thousand dollar school house was completed and occupied by the last term of school. which closed the last of April. This building was erected of beautiful red sand stone by the Detroit Copper com pany and the Arizona Copper company jointly. The Detroit company also built a handsome Presbyterian church at a cost of several thousand dollars. A bank was established at Morenci the beginning of March and few days earlier the Standard. a weekly news paper vas established. The gymnasi- um is complete and the hotel will be not later than the month of August
 "I see you are suffering in Bisbee. because of a shortage of water. Mo renci has an abundance of the finest water to be found in the west. It is pumped from Eagle creek, a distance of seven miles. being raised 1soo feet in that distance"
 The gentlemen from Morenci, while the were all the time inclind to talk of tn accomplishments in Morenci, in cluding the Morenci Southern railroad completed last year and having i've loops and three tunnels in a distanc-, of eighteen miles, still had to admit they saw much in Bisbee to interest them and worthy of their admiration. They will leave for home this marn- ing.
