Bisbee daily review., 1902-11-19

This property bids fair to become great producer in the near future, and with the conditions surrounding it as regards water, timber and trans porta:iol facilities. the company en- joys advantages to start with which are seldom equalled. The company is selling stock rapidly at s5 per share, the par value being s25. The first block of 5000 shares is about exhausted. A full write-up of this the near future.
 
 Our Shelter
 Many people do not realize that copper and iron moulding is done to the Queens taste in Bisbee. Of course they do not make car wheels and columns out of copper. but the red metal is refined and put into ev- cry necessary form, without sending away to Fl Paso or some other sea- port. When i: comes to the iron foundry the boys can outpoint every other institution of the character in the territory. The first and most i'm portant actor il the casting process is the big knocker just above the shop which paralyzes slag pots and car wheels as an ordinary hammer would a ginger snap. IL is exceed ingly interesting to watch the boys pack in the dark sandy loam, then smooth it out with 2 butter knife, res cue the wooden pattern and attend to other details. One of these days we will tell you all about i..
 We are proud of the rank and file of Bisbee workmen and a study of each mans particular trade or calling $ Of never ending interest.

Constable Hamilton had an adven- ture with crazy prospector one night last week. The prospector. who is a well known character, had been around town trying to negotiate a number of checks which he said had been signed by c. E. Mills. Superin- tendent of the Detroit Copper con- pany. The checks ranged from s200 up to large amounts. Any business man familiar with the D. c. checks could tell at glance tha. the sigma ture was not that of MT. Mills. The prospector claimed to have S200. 900 on deposit in Fl Paso. and was mak- ing a wild talk about his wealth. Mir. Hamilton concluded to lock him up until morning. The prospector ac- companied him very quietly until they neared the jail, when he broke away, and made a run for his life with the constable in hot pursuit. Billy was the fieetest and several times was about to lay his hands on the pros pector. who always lodged. and con- :inued in his mad flight. The officer finally tripped and measured his full length in the mud, and then gave up the chase in disgust. The prospector has not since been seen, and it is feared that he may have wandered of into the hills, and possibly per. ished from cold.-Copper Era

 The Rincons
 Word from the Rincons is to the effect that development work is pro- gressing rapidly on the Rincon Min ing company's properties which are located in the mountains of that name fabout twenty-five miles from Benson. In the course of a few days another carload of mining timbers will be un- loaded at Mescal station and forward ed to the mine. There is a forest of excellent pine timber within two miles of the camp which will in the future furnish, timbers and lumber in unlimited quantities. The company will put in a saw mill at an early day but will ship in timDers until the mill is installed. Development work is progressing splendidly and will be pushed as rapidly as money can do it.

The Chiricahuas

From a gentleman just arrived in Bisbee it is ascertained that mining operations are active in that section corresponding with the industry in other quarters. Numerous parties have fitted out in Tombstone during the last four weeks and have gone into the Chiricahuas where danger of the dread Apache is only a tradi- ton while the treasure vaults of that remarkable region are open to the world of enterprise and push. Sey- eral Pisbee people, conspicuously
 Pete Hanson, have recently become interested in this locality and will take steps to prove the claims of the district before snow flies this winter.

The Big "4''

The big 4 is beginning to attract at- tention in mining circles in the War ren district. The gentlemen who own this promising property all reside in old Coehise county. Most of them are men in plain circumstances, earn ing their living in modest callings, but pinning their faith to the big 4, along with sufficient extra Five Dollar Will jams to do the discovery work and
 keep up assessments. They are just now completing their annual assess ment work. Without any particular effort they have enlisted ample cap isal and will in the very near future incorporate and place sufficient stock on the market to defray expenses of development. The owners and pro motors are W. N. Edwards, T.. c. Ho- gan. Bob Elliot, Bob Sparkling and Charles Bloomchrist. These gentle men realizing the good time coming have held on to their property under every disadvantage till capital came to their aid, and will soon be pre- pared to do business on a standard scale. They are preparing to survey and apply for a patent and hereafter their annual assessment with other work will be concentrated on one spo. to the great benefit of the prop
 erty and the whole district. The property has not been opened up to any great extent at this time, most of the work being distributed as discov- cry and assessment work throughout the eight claims comprising the group. The property comes down to Glance station, beiag situate1 just

Ago-WOuld Keep it Quiet.

On Sunday, April 6, Miss Margaret
Lupton, the beautiful daughter Of ex-
Mayor and Mrs. @. R. Lupton, of Mex
leo, was married to Lieutenant Sam
derson, Of Joplin, NO., a cadet at the
Missouri Military Academy, OF this

that Miss Lupton and Mr.. Sanderson
would be married on June 5. All
arrangements we're being made for the
wedding at that time.
The bride is one Of Mexico's most
accomplished and lovely girls.
Young Sanderson comes from a fine
family and is a splendid young man.
Ihe LHDeER joins all in extending
cordial congratulations.
AS as we can learn there was no
objection to the marriage, and just
why the young people we're so quiet
about the matter is one of the mystic
ries of young lovers.

The stereoptican views and lecture
by Rev. w. j, Lhamon, Of Columbia,
at the Christian Church Sunday night
was one Of the best entertainments Of
that class eve given in this city. Rev.
Lhamon is a fluent talker, devoted to
his profession and never fails to please
his audience. His subject last even
ing was on "Heathen Gods, and the
speaker well proved that his stand
was correct. His hearers will not soon
forget the three great lessons put
forth, first, that idol-worshiping is not
beautiful in reality; second, that every
man has some manner Of worship;
third, that the Christian religion is
the true religion, hence a conquoring
religion. The accompanying views to
the lecture throughout were splendid,
and taught many lessons Of what the
religion Of Christ has done for the
fallen state Of all mankind.

WHEELS MADE TO LAST.
Ferris & cauthorn Split Up a Buggy
Wheel to Show the Glass of Stock
Used in Its Manufacture.

Ferris & Cauthorn have on exhibi.
ton In their window a buggy wheel
which is a Wonderland is, in excel
lence.
The Racine Buggy Company, whose
buggies Ferris & Cauthorn handle,
gave these gentlemen permission to
cut up-any one wheel they had OF the
Racine make. OF course, this cutting
and splitting was not to be done for
pure fun, but TO demonstrate the class
of wood and metal used in making the
wheels.
Ferris & Cauthorn selected a wheel
at random and cut and split the
spokes and rim as they pleased. This
wheel is in their window and shows
what excellent stock of split hickory
they are made of. Every split follows
the shape Of the spoke as If they had
been moulded in layers, and the wood
is as tough as can be found.
Anyone wishing to buy a buggy
which will stand on wheels which will
bear the greatest strain and which
will retain shape the longest, will
make no mistake in seeing Ferris g.

New Depot.

Since the two express companies in
Mexico have arranged to separate and
divide their business it has been re.
peatedly rumored that the two rail
roads in Mexico would also divide
their business, and that the Alton
would build a new station. 1t was
rumored that the station would be at
the Jefferson street crossing; also
that it would be west OF the present
station.
AS a matter Of fact we do not be-
lieye there is any foundation for these
rumors. Those who ought to know
say that the arrangements between
the two roads at Mexico are perfectly
satisfactory. One thing is sure, the
people Of Mexico would appreciate it
very much II we could get a new,
modern, up-to-date depot. Whether
the roads separate or not Mexico
ought to have a new station.

How DIR. Talmage Cult TobaCco,

NO long after Dr. Il. DeWitt TAI
mage's coming TO the Quaker City, a
tobacco merchant, who was one Of the
Second Church, called on him one day
in his study, and with the nostril
trained for the scent of the weed, de-
tected the odor of tobacco. He said
nothing about it at the time, but at
the close Of his call, on shaking hands
with the pastor, he remarked, as
though 1t had just occurred to him,
that he would give himself the pleas
ure Of sending the preacher some
choice cigars. Sure enough, the very
next day DIR. Talmage found on his
table a box of fragrant Havanas
and a card informing him that 1t was
with the compliments of his caller of
the day before. Talmage took OUT a
cigar and held it for a few moments in
profound reflection. He enjoyed smok-
ing, and the fragrant weed was at
tractive to him. But his new sense Of
responsibility concerning the great
opportunity which was evidently bis
was upon him, and as he twirled the
between his fingers he said to
himself: ''Shall l smoke and enjoy
these, and thus very likely impair my
influence with this man and his
friends, and my congregation in gem
eral, OF shall l put influence and ex-
frst?" 1t was a decisive hour;
was a critical moment. The thing
itself may have been small, but it was
great thing as indicating the spirit
Of the man. He made his decision,
laid the cigar back in the box, care
fully closed it, and wrapping it up
again, returned it to his friend and
p%arishioner, with this brief, but de-
cisive note;
"My Dear Sir: | have stopped
smoking; quit to-day. t. Dew. r."
This incident is a window into DR..
heart and mind at this
time, showing that success and APP
worked in him the result which
it can never work except in great men,
1t made him humble and not proud.
