only fair. The growth of 'be city will require that this amount of hose be increased soon.
 The greatest necessity, and one that is urgent. is the extension of the mains further up Tombstone Canyon and Brewery Gulch.
 It is also apparent that from the new buildings. which are being built upon the modern plans and extending up more than the old single-story style of building. will demand an in creased facility for fighting fires, should one occur in one of these two or three-story buildings This will be in the direction of lacders for the firemen to attack fire from the front and rear of these 'sky scrapers," where the fire is above the first floor. This is a matter which the city coun- cil should take cognizance of at the earliest moment and assist in some manner the equipping of the depart ment, with at least one or more ex- tension ladders. The cost would 5C very slight in comparison with the service they would render in cases as above cited.

The business men of Bisbee are evi- denuy very easy when the smooth and affable confidence man and grafter comes along. About two weeks ago a party nameci De Coo arrived here.
 He was we'll dressed, wore glasses to add dignity to his appearance. and was a smooth and fluent talker. He came from Michigan. and at once call ed upon MT and Mrs. Corning, who had known him for years. He appear ed to be such a nice young man that they interested themselves in him. and recommended him O MT. Adams of the Southwestern Commercial company for a position. He was given the po- sition of solicitor for the house. His work appeared to be satisfactory, he brought in many orders. and was look. ed upon as a good man. On Tuesday last he disappeared and has not been seen since. His accounts as far as known thus far with the Southwestern Commercial company are all right. but in the tenderloin ana among the busi- ness men he has left long trail of debts and borrowed money behind him. Among the business men who are losers by this bilk is a well known restaurant. Mir and Mrs. Corning. from whom he obtained a suit of clothes and a gold ring, and Mir Mo laskey. of Lowell, where he roomed
 T1e batter gentleman attached ilfs grip for what he owed him, but from all accounts he only secured a gold brick for his trouble. De Coo is .. oung man about 27 or 2S years of age, smooth talker, dresses we'll and wears glasses, and it would be we,i for business in other towns in the ter ritory to look out for him, as he is sure to pay them a visit He is just loaded with recommendations of the highest order. but his actions in Bis bee would only give him a recommen- dation for the Territorial prison at Yuma.
